  • I personally think we’ll eventually see swappable batteries but who knows. I also think that won’t happen for like 25 years from now or more but I think that’s a solution to the limitations of charging tech.

    Who knows, for most people most of the time EV is a better choice. I know the way I normally use my car an EV would work fine as a replacement.

    It’ll be interesting to see how it all develops. I do wish we focused less on cars and more on better infrastructure for moving people around. I think cars are just inherently inefficient but since our societal infrastructure is heavily centered around them I think they’re going to be around for awhile.















  • I don’t know if those details (casual racism and acceptance of same, both by otherwise redeemable characters and by the victims of it; fairly graphic representation of bodily harm) match the reality of the time

    1900 Texas, yeah, it matches the reality of the time. We’re talking about a state that 40 years before that had voted overwhelmingly to secede from the Union and ousted their governor when he refused to join the Confederacy. We’re talking full on Jim Crow, segregation as law, redlining, employment gating, etc etc - it was very bad.

    But yeah I mean I probably wouldn’t say a 5yo should be engaging with that content, but I could see a 10 year old maybe? It feels 6th grade level is about right for that?




  • My favorite part about studying history is those little moments where you really feel the human connection to our ancestors. Like, of course teenage boys were fucking around, they’re teenage boys. I’m sure it wasn’t anything too egregious - it was still a job after all. Just hilarious to think about these kids pretending to be some girl the other one was crushing on calling in or shit like that.
