Or you know run it as a public service like the roads. We are able to do that without enslaving road maintenance employees.

It looks like you are downvoted and flagged here. Maybe that should be your signal.

>I’m surprised you care more about someone pointing out slop than actual slop.

Your comments are slop and I do care about it. I care that when I open the comments on HN now I have to scroll past a bunch of people loudly proclaiming they were unable to read the article or how it sounds like AI, etc, etc.

You are copying and pasting the same thing all over the place, that is slop/spam/what have you but it's not contributing.

That is for comments. Click on the comment history this user is spamming the exact message so generated text breaking the rule you posted.

I don't care if you don't want to read ai written or edited posts. You don't need to announce it in every thread just close the article and move on.

Self proclaimed Indiehackers for the most part don't produce anything of value anyhow and have been in the flood the market game for a decade. It's very much a case of X made $1000 doing Y so now I'm doing Y but for Z and when it doesn't get instant traction I am going to stop updating it/stop paying for the hosting in 2 months.

It's how we ended up with more niche job boards with scraped postings than there are altcoins and seven million sites that are nomadlist but in a different niche with bad data.

Can you stop spamming articles with this. You care, that is great don't read them but you aren't helping anyone with this offtopic spam.

What exactly is your argument here? That there are a few cases where an EV currently isn't the best case? The original argument was that there were vast parts of the US where the distance between chargers was far enough to make trips impossible with an EV and now we're discussing an imagined situation where you get stuck in a snowbank overnight and somehow running a generator to power your heater is the preferred solution?

No it isn't being pragmatic and honest it's trying to find some weird edge cases to argue that his original claim(which was false) is actually technically true because under conditions X, Y, Z which impacts basically no one ever an ICE is required. It's silly. 350 million people in the country and you're coming up with situations that impact a few thousand of them a year as if thats a legitimate concern with EVs. Nothing honest about that.

Coming up with a situation where you make the worst possible travel plans, make the worst possible choices and still it's workable with an EV is not the argument you seem to think it is.

I assumed you would have time between exits on slower roads unless you're driving an hour on the freeway to visit a roadside stand or something.

I grew up in Ontario and I'm familiar with the area. It still seems like an absurd trip plan but you do you.

Though we're back to the fact that even in your worst case the most that can be said is it would be slightly more inconvenient given current charger network. In reality you'd problem just do a better job picking a base location or not choosing one given the distances if you were really worried.

That is not an entirely normal scenario. You would typically book accommodations near each location and move between them if you have a bunch of spots spread out over a huge distance.

Planning a vacation where even after travelling to your accommodation you require at least 10 hours of driving over a 3 day period just to get to the places you actually want to visit is absurd and uncommon.

I really enjoyed the books but there is a lot of issues around pacing. One of the books(7 maybe? it's been a while) was pretty much several hundred pages of them just walking. Had the same experience recently with book 3 of Otherland.

Non-Fiction(on breaks): Indistractable

Fiction(before bed): Quicksilver Neal Stephenson

Audio(during chores): Dungeon Crawler Carl(Up to book 6)

Next up:

Non-Fiction: Ten things I wish I knew about raising boys, Outdoor kids in an indoor world, Intentional(Chris Bailey)

Fiction: The rest of the Baroque Cycle, then moving onto The Laundry Files by Charles Stross, then the rest of Discworld

Audio: The rest of DCC then I'm going to switch to podcasts for a while nothing else planned after this right now.

Besides the insanity of picking a place to stay where you are several hours of driving from your planned destinations every day they could have topped up over night then spent a few minutes each day at chargers to fill up completely if they were worried.

At no point was there any risk of them being without charge even on their longest driving day.

If you are stuck in a snowbank your fuel doesn't matter. Staying warm until help arrives is the issue. Like above you are shifting goalposts.

You are raising issues in this post that I would guess impact less than a hundredth of a percent of the driving population of North America. These are really not issues we need to be concerned about and they are very easily solved by installing more chargers. It's a solved problem without demand.

So bluntly I don't understand the points of your comments at all. Is there places where it will take longer to drive an EV currently yes. Is there are two points in the mainland us where you cannot reach because of a lack of chargers no. Do 99.99% of people find themselves in these areas in a given lifetime? Also no.

I'd rather be in an EV in a snowbank where there is almost certainly more than enough power to run a heater for 24 hours. Bonus since I don't have to worry about snow accumulation blocking the exhaust and killing me.

You're shifting goal posts now.

But yeah those 10 people that regularly drive those routes should probably stick with their ice vehicles.

Yes and that's what I'm looking at. What is your source?
