Can we get it with five legs, with three on one side and three on the other?

Hydrogen means throwing away 2/3 of the energy we generate. Driving on hydrogen can never be less than three times the cost of driving a battery EV, even if someone waves a magic wand and gives you a trillion dollars worth of hydrogen infrastructure for free. It's not the better option.

We've got batteries now that will outlast the vehicles they're in. You don't care that the engine in a gas vehicle will only last 30 years or that it's really heavy and expensive.

EVs also don't cure cancer. Nobody's really expecting them to solve problems that aren't related to vehicles in the first place.

Your belief that EVs aren't ready yet is the entire point of Toyota's constant news articles about solid state batteries. Toyota also says EVs are toys and hydrogen is the future, but I'm sure they're totally serious about EVs.

They've been saying solid state batteries are coming in a year or two for years already and still don't have a prototype to show off.

During COVID lockdowns, when lots of people had to work from home, people who couldn't work from home were all talking about how much faster it was to get to work and there was hardly any traffic on the roads.

Even if public transport doesn't benefit someone directly, getting a bunch of other people off the road still will.

You have to be careful with that sort of thing - some percentage of people who do watch the ads will close the tab rather than read the prompt and answer it.

On the Linux side, you get people installing debug builds of drivers, bisecting to identify which commit broke something, doing apitraces, capturing crash dumps and opening bug reports to submit that stuff to driver devs.

You don't really get that sort of thing on Windows, so the drivers try to do it through telemetry. It's how the devs know which games or hardware configs are crashing and need fixes.

Oh, don't do that, I've still got half a bag of popcorn left.

You know how in the ad the meat glistens and looks all juicy? They paint it with wood varnish. The burger stands up with all the ingredients neatly spread out because there's cardboard spacers between them.

You wouldn't actually want to eat the burger in the ad. It isn't food.

My pixel 4a is still fine. I'll want 5G at some point but the coverage isn't there for me to worry about it yet. I don't think there's anything else in the pipeline that I'll care about.

You're demanding a bunch more high performance connectivity - which means high performance silicon to run all those lanes - and complaining about the active cooling in the same post.

Early Nissan Leafs started with 24 kWh, so when they lost a chunk of their initial range they became impractical to use. Your range might be shorter than the distance between chargers, especially in winter.

If you start with 40 kWh, you can lose a third of that and it's still fine for occasional long trips if you have charging network coverage. And you probably won't lose a third of your battery capacity ever, since modern EVs have battery cooling and better batteries.

LFP batteries will probably all outlive the cars they're in.
