I still think a standard for swapping is a good idea.

For me it’s not just about the charging. If I can swap my battery then the risk of the battery breaking is suddenly not as big anymore. A lot of the cars that are trashed, here in Norway at least, is because of the battery.

I don’t really need a really long range ev in my day to day. I live 10 km away from work and have a cheap car with wltp of 240km (150 miles), which is kind of low, but more than enough. We charge it one to three nights a week and that works great for us.

With regards to the charging stops: We have a gasoline powered car as well and we always take that car to visit family which is a five hour drive because we don’t want the one hour mandatory stop. Juggling kids in the back seat with all of their stops needed it just isn’t practical. Also the one hour stop isn’t even enough in the winter. Then we need two stops. Combined with all of the small stops a five hour drive can suddenly become seven and those hours are the difference if we do the trip or not for us.

I would like the combination. Home charging day to day, but swapping on longer road trips.

That’s smart! However I don’t have a backpack with me every time I put on shoes.

Love shoehorns. Use them at every opportunity. But they are not every place I put on shoes.

Im about to turn 40. Still do this 😅

What even is a tariff on a foreign movie? Licensing to show it doubles?

How the hell did i know the rythm of this post already on the second sentence?

That’s what they censored?

No worries!

Lapp is a slur in Norwegian and not much used but I don’t know if it is used as an insult.

What does sopuli mean?

In Norway we don’t use the lappland term for that area. That is just the area the sapmi originates for us. I knew that lappland was an official region in Finland, but didn’t know until now that it was an official region in Sweden as well. In Norway however the outlined area roughly consists of Finnmark, Troms, Nordland and Trøndelag.

I guess we didn’t learn Sweden and Finlands regions in elementary school here in Norway in the 90s. I didn’t at least.

We had sql03 and sql04 when I started my job. Sql03 got replaced. So now we have sql 04 and sql05. You just need to know which database is on which server.

Lapland is in Finland. Hardangervidda is in Norway. It is flat as well though.

Wow! I want to upvote, downvote and report you at the same time. Kudos!

In the end all i did was leave this lousy comment

You aren’t disliking the internet because you get older. You dislike it because it is taken over by enshittifying corporations.

At least it’s like that for me.

Slow cooking ribs can take from between a handful of hours to three days. Depends on the method. Still something you should be able to plan around.

But hey. Mid night ribs sounds awesome!

It’s a normal image macro meme that op just added text to.

Our car isn’t made for elaborate stuff like that. Medium sized skoda estate that’s a couple of years away from retirement (Cars in general are smaller here in Norway). So my setup is just a pre made kit snapped on to the base of the headrests and the wiring is hanging freely.

I have to think carefully about how to do something like this and keep it practical and relatively safe from the kids at the same time. 😅

I like the setup. We only have two separate DVD players that is mounted on the headrests, but you can link one of them to slave the other. They only support divx files via fat32 formatted usb thumb drives, but also have rgb input, so I have been dreaming of making a better solution. I have a raspberry pi lying around so I might just end up doing something similar to you.

That’s really cool! So the media system was there already, but you added the raspberry pi and modified it to accept hdmi as well?
