Even a 110V 15 amp outlet can handle charging that overnight.
This is something I wish more people realized. If it doesn’t fully charge you overnight, it’ll get you close, and it’ll likely be enough for your daily commute. It also generates less heat and thus is better for the long-term health of your battery to trickle charge instead of fast-charging all the time.
Yes, it’s total BS.
I’ll also share the flip side here, though, from https://electricaleducator.com/for-homeowners/nema-14-50-what-you-need-to-understand/ :
I spoke to Leviton and the general consensus is that the receptacles are not being installed correctly. Additionally, EV chargers draw a load for a longer period of time than a normal appliance. Homeowners and even some electricians are not using the necessary torqueing tools. Terminals that are too loose and, yes, too tight, will fail. Leviton came out with an upgraded version for EV chargers that we will do a deep dive on. If you’re installing an EV Charger, you should probably opt for the more robust Leviton product.
So, it is more dangerous than other appliances, and I’ve never seen an inspector check tightness. That said, I totally agree that it is unlikely to deter someone from installing one and more likely that people will do a shit job and it’ll be done without someone checking it. So, pretty bad either way, honestly.
That’s kinda my point, though. You have the Google Assistant app for a legitimate reason, and its need to use your microphone is also equally legitimate…the problem comes in when Google says that they don’t monitor what you’re saying, or worse, they say they can’t because your phone processes it all locally. They have this giant loophole that they take advantage of here, in that while they do not keep track of what you say themselves, they embed a third party service that does. While not particularly surprising given it’s Google, that’s shady as fuck and they shouldn’t be able to say they don’t monitor just because they let their little bro Alphonso do it on their behalf and they magically get off on a technicality.
Is that to say that it’s no longer valid? Or just that it’s old news? The list of apps associated with the software is still pretty extensive; Google Assistant even showed up.
Why would someone waste their money on this poll?
It’s not even the people; it’s their actions. If we could figure out how to regulate its use so its profit-generation capacity doesn’t build on itself exponentially at the expense of the fair treatment of others and instead actively proliferate the models that help people, I’m all for it, for the record.
That is entirely true and one of my favorite things about it. I just wish there was a way to nurture more of that and less of the, “Hi, I’m Alvin and my job is to make your Fortune-500 company even more profitable…the key is to pay people less!” type of AI.
But the people with the money for the hardware are the ones training it to put more money in their pockets. That’s mostly what it’s being trained to do: make rich people richer.
You’re 100% correct and I wish the article would call that out. I was pretty disappointed when I read that at first, but I think that, not only are the union workers going to see a victory here as well, but I also suspect that we have the union to thank for the non-union pay… idustries with solid union presence tend to see improvements to both pay and work environments merely because the union is there, effectively setting a standard that has to be at least loosely followed in order to be competitive. In this case, the union isn’t strong in this industry per se, but it is strong within Costco, driving the worker satisfaction up right along with it…which is a pretty great phenomenon.
This is what happens when you have good union representation and collective bargaining agreements. Great job, Teamsters!
Stay and risk having to work for a leadership committing atrocities. Leave and risk there only being loyalists working for the them, further enabling the atrocities.
Hey, there. It sounds like you’re less concerned about your genetic proclivity to an autoimmune arthritis and more looking for ways to stave off any kind of arthritic degeneration, including your standard-issue osteoarthritis. I’m a 38-year-old who is embarking on a race against the progression of arthritis and other skeletal/connective tissue maladies due to a genetic joint hypermobility disorder that I’m similarly trying to get out in front of. Here’s what I’ve found so far, with the obligatory “I am not a doctor,” and, “Your mileage may vary.”:
I wish you luck in your quest. I personally am just holding out for a full-body exoskeleton. That’d be pretty badass.

For some completely unrelated reason, I suddenly have this song stuck in my head…

Making a career change from an industry with several active unions (all of which continue to be proven as vital, even after over 100 years), into the tech industry in the mid-2010s, where there was no union and you’d hear horror stories (especially from the video game industry), I can’t help but feel like this was inevitable and I’ve been excited to watch it happen for almost 10 years. I hope it continues.
Well, that’s slightly more encouraging
Last I heard, early numbers were reporting a 100% fatality rate in cats. Doubtful it’s still 100%, but that goes to show that it’s exceptionally dangerous to our friends of the feline persuasion. I’d previously been giving my cat freeze-dried chicken hearts as an iron supplement with the added benefit of dental health…not so much these days.
