Of course he does. But a standard house power connection does not deliver the amount of power you need to charge a car.

So you need to build a charging pole at your house if you want to charge ar home. Which is another investment.

And if you are in a somewhat remote area and there are not many charging poles around you, you are also very limited in how far and how fast you can travel.

So there really is no point investing in a charging pole and an EV car if the car is not capable of doing to the same things that a gas car can do.

EDIT: thanks for the responses. I’m still not convinced that electric is a good option for me, but some issues seem to be fixed or not as bad as I thought.

Still, within my price range it will take a while before I can pay one.

Funny. I don’t have a creditcard and I don’t want one. That is the only reason I sometimes, maybe once or twice a year I use PayPal.

I wish them good luck building a profile on 2 purchases. Also, I’m in the EU and I suspect this will not be legal here.

I also cannot believe somebody thought it would be a great idea to introduce even more tracking and ads. Don’t they understand they are driving away customers?

That was an interesting read, thanks!

I have been stressed out about everything in the past, but I worked through a lot of things.

The main thing for me is acceptence. I accept whatever comes at me, and I deal with it.

Missed the bus? I accept that that is the new situation, and then start thinking about how to deal with the consequences. Do I need to inform somebody that I will be later, or do I need to do anything else? Is there a different route I can take?

And what is also important, I watch myself. I make sure I get enough sleep and I have some time for myself to chill. It helps if you are not tired or burned out. I have been tired and burned out and it makes me far more emotional and unpredictable.

I accept that I am not in control of a lot of things. But I can always control my response to those things. If somebody is trying to piss me off, I can stay calm and that puts me in control of the situation.

I also realized that bad moods are contagious. If somebody was in a bad mood around me I would pick it up too. But now I figured, why? I don’t want somebody elses state of mind to control mine. So I accept that they are in a bad mood, and choose to keep my mood going.

I choose to control myself in all circumstances, no matter how crazy, and it makes me happier and less stressed. I’m still not perfect but I feel a lot better a lot of the time.

And it’s a great practice for emergency situations too. I’ve been able to solve some things rather quickly just by not panicking and making the right calls to give some things priority over others.

Just wait. In 10 years 32 gig is on the low side to just run the OS. Hardware getest faster and bigger, but software scales with it.

The more resources are available, the more people will program computers to use them.

My first graphics card had 128mb memory. These days it goes in gigabyte and they use the memory and processing power to produce amazing things.

On the other hand, they also are not as critical on efficiëncy as used to be, because there are simply more resources available anyway. As a consequence, some programs use a silly amount of resources for basically doing nothing. Sometimes I really feel like my browser is eating RAM…

I would recommend finding something interesting to do, stimulating your mind instead of dulling it.

Challenge yourself, find the spot where you are just a little uncomfortable with what you are doing to stimulate personal growth.

Classic meditation method: don’t block any thoughts, just accept any thought that pops up, and visualise it floating away. Usually does the trick for me.

Or visualize a water flow like a river streaming through your mind, taking all the thoughts with it.

There are lots of visualisations you can do to help clear your mind or control your emotions.

Everybody is storing it in different conditions. Me for example, my printer is in front of a window that gets afternoon sun.

No cover, no curtains or anything. I just leave my PETG roll on the printer and print whenever I want to. Just recently after like 6 months of not printing I printed something to test without any problems at all…

Things like that probably require some scripting. You can check if there are ready to go scripts that you can just copy, but most likely you’ll have to program something up yourself. Even if there are scripts to copy, without understanding what they actually do and how they will work with WordPress you will have a hard time using them.

If you are not proficient in HTML yet, you are probably not ready for this. You’ll need to learn some scripting, insert those scripts on the pages and for that you need a deeper understanding of how everything works.

Unfortunately this means there is no easy solution here, you’ll have to put in the work to search and learn how to do this or you decide you don’t need it after all.

You’re not supposed to see this, get me medical help.

Okay, that sucks. Might want to get in touch with as many companies as you can, explain the situation and see if you can work something out.

If you can communicate that you’ll need more time, I think they would prefer that over not getting any money at all.

When you are in deep shit like this, speak about it. Let everyone who you still own money know that you want to, but cannot pay right now and you want to work out an arrangement.

Also check if the government has a program to assist with debt. Be proactive, people are more willing to work with someone that is taking action to change things up.

The worst thing you can do is stop opening mail and just ignore it. It will only make the problems bigger. Get help, anywhere you can.

Good luck.

Edit: depending on your country and relationship with your employer, consider informing your employer too. Some employers are willing to work something out with you if you explain how it happened and how you want to get out of it.

It’s not just power either. Green energy is not good enough yet, but there are other problems.

Whole industries are built on using whatever is left after certain oil processes. You might be using something right now, that has resources that in the end would not be there without oil mining.

PVC floors use part of oil that is left over after kerosine is made for airplanes. So if we stop using fuel, we also have to figure out a replacement for that. And this is just one example. There could be thousands of things like this.

Because we have the oil and the leftovers, we use it and have very efficient technology to create products that we need. So if we stop using fuel, we have solved one problem(and I don’t believe we will be able to do this for quite some time), but there will be consequences everywhere.

Jobs will disappear, whole industries need to start over and find different ways of producing things with different, green resources. The very foundation that our society is built on will need to shift.

I believe plastic is also an oil product. Can you imagine a world with no plastic? I know it is bad for the environment, but if you want to package food safely, or medicine, what is the alternative?

It is going to take a tremendous amount of effort, innovation and money to get even close to stopping with oil, and even more to solve all the problems that will follow.

As far as I know, other distributions just don’t show these errors, but Ubuntu choose to show them.

Most of them are just due too a BIOS implementation that is not entirely up to standards, from what I understand. It seems some manufacturers have chosen to make their system easier to use with Windows instead of strictly enforcing standards.

I just ignore the errors. As long as everything works properly, I feel fine with that.

I don’t really care, rant here or make a general rant thread and see if it gets shut down. Then rant about it.

I just got this mail. They are very funny. It is clear that they are trying to generate money by adding features, but the whole point is that I don’t need more features.

I just need the program as it is, hell, they can still take more functionality away and it will still work for me just fine. I just use it for small projects, maybe twice a year.

If the free version ever goes away, I’ll just learn some other program. There might be a learning curve, but I don’t mind.

And I understand that they need to make money, and they have every right to charge whatever they want. But mails like this make them look desperate for cash.

If they really don’t want too, don’t have a free product. Then everybody knows what is up.

I’ll have to find a way to convince my gf that these woman are in fact not prostitutes and I’ve never seen them before…

The only departement you don’t really need, except your competitors have one, so now you need one too.

And the problem for me is not with a simple ad for the local grocery store. It’s when they made a science out of influencing people and targeting specific groups and working on your subconscious.

I would like to think that I’m not affect by marketing. But the truth is that we all are being led by subtle marketing too, not just the obvious marketing.

So in a way, they affect the choices I make and I don’t want anybody but me to make the choices.

Obviously marketing is not going away now. If anything, it will only get more intrusive and intense. I hate marketing…

So, what is your deal? What have you been up too?

Looks like the network mount is the problem.

Now you need to find out more. You can try setting up a mount outside the VPN network and check if that causes the same problem.

If it does, there is something going wrong with mounting over a network.

If it does not, you can try mounting a different location on the same drive through VPN. If a different folder or location does not cause problems, you know you have to look at the specific location that is causing problems.

If a different location on the same drive still causes problems, it could be your VPN connection causing problems or maybe the drive is failing. Check the drive for errors, and check if your VPN does work properly overall.

This should be a decent start to figuring out where the problem is.

Also make sure to check permissions, since it sounds like the Save as screen is trying to access the location but it does not get the proper response. See if you can access the location in a file explorer.

If that is the only thing saving you from RSI you’re going to get it anyway.

I’ve had the pleasure, and your body posture and mental state of mind are much more important. Getting up every now and then is also important, changing seat position helps, and doing some sport also helps.

Both of my arms did hurt so much I could not cut my own meat. Mouse or no mouse:(.

Am much better now though.
