Hopefully the clients get much better. I convinced a few friends to get on Matrix last year… and… boy… it was a terrible experience. Everyone ended up going back to Discord and they probably won’t trust another recommendation from me.

How much did you ask for?

Yes, I ended up selling and buying a hybrid. Super happy with the hybrid.

• Basically instant “recharge” speed.

• Longer range.

• More vehicle options.

• Don’t have to worry about heat or cold draining my fuel.

• Can leave the car stationary for long periods of time without the fuel draining.

• More fueling stations.

• More reliable fueling stations (chargers may be broken.)

• Less software bullshit. (Tesla)

• Less possibly breaking updates. (Tesla) No joke. My car’s software literally crashed on the freeway once and I was essentially driving blind because all the screens went blank.

I drive a lot and for long distances. Switching to hybrid made trips shorter by an hour.

And I still got to keep fancy drive assist features. It’s like 80% of autopilot, if not more.

Oh! And big one! Even though an electric car may say something like 500km range! That’s NOT the usable range! You’re not going to be driving the car to 0km. You’re not even supposed to charge to 100% most of the time! So most of the time you’ll charge to 80%, that’s 400km in the battery. But, you probably wanna play it safe, so you’ll want to recharge with 50km to 100km left in the battery. Leaving you with about 300km of usable range.

Then the heat, cold, and time will slowly drain your 300km…

Meanwhile, my hybrid has about 700km of usable range, regardless of time and weather.

They maybe use Plaid to connect your bank? I still wouldn’t do it though. Fuck Plaid. Fuck handing out creds. Find another way.

Cy: People buying million dollar homes think they’re getting the A-Team. They’re not. It’s the same builders that build the cheap homes.

• Syllabuses, not syllabi
• Matrixes, not matrices
• Indexes, not indices
• Cactuses, not cacti

Standardize plurals!

I use Gboard. I really want to like the FUTO keyboard, but it unfortunately sucks for typing. Not sure what magic secret sauce Gboard has, but with the FUTO keyboard I basically mistype almost every word. Maybe Gboard has some tap target corrections or something? I’ve tried pushing through with the FUTO keyboard for about a month, but I think I’m ready to uninstall it. )`:

I hate websites with low contrast text.
