I really think you should test drive one. It doesn't have a huge battery and ice engine, it has a small battery and a small engine (at times frustratingly underpowered if out of battery). For short drives, the small battery saves you f

I have a Chevy Volt, with smaller gas tank size (9 gal) and highway fuel economy (40mpg highway real-world). I fill gas every 6 hours of highway driving after the battery dies.

I'm trans and I'd generally like more follow up studies to determine if various medically-important sex-dimorphic factors are downstream of endocrine differences. Otherwise I won't know which profile fits me better and I migh

As a dual-citizen, I've had some great experiences at the Swiss Consulate in the US. Though accessing the government through the Department of Foreign Affairs might yield much better service than going directly to the underlying bureau

Nouns aren't actually grammatically gendered in Esperanto. But when a noun refers to something that can physically have gender, male is the root or default. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_reform_in_Esperanto

I'm glad you got a good deal out of used tires. I'm sure the value is there if you look. Personally I've bought new good tires for less than $100/tire after rebate, and having them professionally installed costs over $

I had a poor friend who couldn't afford new tires. She would buy used tires, with little life left, and replace them more frequently. It was more expensive in the long run, and less safe. If she had access to credit she could have boug

It's not professional, it's abusive and it's harassment. But it is literally not violence by the common definition. Slogans like "silence is violence" are designed to provoke attention to an issue by intentionally s

Genuinely curious, why do working parents drop off their kids if there is a school bus?

It's a shame that public transit can't take kids to school in America. There would be a lot of economic benefit.

I think it would be cool if smartphones had a paradigm of user-controlled back-end server. All the push notification registration and compute-intensive or network-intensive operations could run on a home server that a phone is paired to. I

As a leftist Asian-American who recently went through US university, I found much of it to be alarmist and incongruent with my own experiences and observations. I was unsurprised to see it was written by a European conservative think-tank.

This seems like it could have unintended effects of making the experience worse for creators. Instead of getting dislikes, maybe now they'll get mean comments instead.

Does the evolutionary answer to "why are young girls awful to each other" matter? How does it inform our product design to make tech healthier for teenagers? We already know this is a vulnerable group, and that teen girls have ten

That makes sense. I too waited some extra time for supply to be available in my own area, rather than traveling and taking from others' allocations. But I'm surprised that the "you can go maskless if you get the vaccine"

The NSA in particular is part of the Department of Defense, a uniquely opaque federal entity. In general, federal agencies comply with accountability and transparency laws, but the DoD just doesn't.
