How hard were the sources laughing?

What, is this a Canadian assassin?

I went through two defective EVGA cards within the original card's warranty period. On the second card, EVGA tried to deny my warranty.

They eventually made it right, after I shamed them on Reddit.

Yeah I'm not excusing the driver parking it like a jackass.

It depends on the use case, though. If that driver's main concern is getting in and out of muddy work sites safely, maybe carrying cargo is less important than 4WD cred.

FYI, Fortnine is based in Canada.

Increases or decreases in the frequency of pedestrian-driver fatalities is affected by lots of things, although I suggest that poor road design and traffic laws might have a positive feedback effect when combined with limited forward visibility (e.g. a truck with poor forward visibility isn't a huge liability in Canadian road designs might be a larger liability in typical US road designs).

Unfortunately I don't know if we collect the right accident statistics. Perhaps the more relevant question is: are pickup trucks over-represented in pedestrian fatalities as a result of vehicle collision compared to other vehicles, and has that representation grown as truck grill heights have grown? I found a doc on Canadian pedestrian fatalities, but it classified all passenger vehicles as a single class -- and unfortunately that doesn't tell us much since most 4-wheel pickups are classified as passenger vehicles.

Fortnine has an excellent video about this issue.

I don't pretend to know what professional landscape contractors need for their job.

I'm all for f*ck cars but people who have actual jobs that involve moving stuff like gravel and sod probably have different needs than I do, I assume?

Yeah, but ISPs are rich and VPN providers are not. The most recent numbers I can find for Cox (2020) show $12.6 billion in revenue.

So you get to charge your expensive Tesla with a giant battery for hours and block the charger and eat up 80+ Kilowatt-hours, but I plug in my base model Nissan Leaf and get cut off at 45 kWh?

Options:

• Build more chargers

• Raise the price

• Charge for time at the charger, not watt-hours delivered

• Tell EV owners to blame each other

Three of these will work. One of them won’t.
