It takes less than 10 seconds of my time to plug it in.

They're more fun to drive.

Charging at home is more convenient than going to the gas station.

Electricity is cheaper than gas. Depending on your milage it will eventually break even and be cheaper.

Even the shortest range is enough for 99% of the trips.

Cats, kids or when moving it for cleaning. It only takes a mild swing for it to get tangled.

Of course you can, and IMO, you should be able to charge it at home, in parking lots and at work.

Yeah.

Use a toothpick to open up the loops in the knots. Focus on one of the outermost strings and move the ball through the loops until it's clear. Then you only have four tangled strings and so on.

It makes much more sense to put the chargers in places where you park your car: At home, at parking lots and at work.

Gas stations. No.

The pig should shut up. It's time to wake up the sheep.

I went from generation 1 to 2 only when apps refused to work.

The 3. Generation doesn't do any features different for me.

I've had some issues with temperature shutdowns and unreachability on all of them, maybe not so much on 3. genenation. It may be the cause of your issue, but I'm not sure.

I mostly had that issue on gen.2 but I've also swapped phones and moved my WiFi in between so I'm not sure. When I had gen.2 on our primary TV, it would fall out after many (8+) hours, at which point the dongle would be smoking hot. I could usually fix it by cooling it (waving it out the window 😃 )but eventually I upgraded to gen.3 and haven't had that issue since then.

The only reason they use the word "constitutional" is because they want the conservative supreme court to make a ruling to allow hate speech.

Meanwhile, conservatives also want to ban books about love.

This really has nothing to do with technology though. Quite the contrary. Twitter isn't technology. It's a tool for making dark age politics.

It's called Sehnsucht in German and is also used as a psychological term in English.

I'm not really sure if the 80s were necessarily better or worse in reality. On one hand it all seemed relatively simple, but without the distractions of constant communication, flexible agreements, procastinating and whatever else we have in our modern stressful information overload, the 80s were quite brutally direct. If you could time travel there, you'd probably find people to be rude and focused on actions instead of thinking. For better or worse.

Offline casinos can also make money on drinks/snacks/entrance fee/hotels rooms. Theoretically it would be possible to run an offline casinos with loosing odds. (They don't)

That's impossible for online casinos.
