Everytime I consider buying an EV I do some research and they always seem to have all of the bells and whistles. Then I get to price and it’s like $60,000+ and I can’t help but wonder how much cheaper it could be without all of the added features.

Edit: I’m not going to reply to everyone and I really should have mentioned since it’s not immediately obvious but I’m Australian. No Chevy volt and and all vehicles are imported increasing prices on top of the usual AUD imbalance.

Did the player scream “BY THE MIGHT OF THE EMPEROR” before rolling for Typhus because that gives +2 to all rolls.

Same thing that happens at regular family events.

The Signs school of Chekhov’s gun. Water. More water. Water everywhere! Oh no! Aliens! I wonder what their weakness is 😉

When you come across a ‘user’ that almost exclusively defends one controversial politician/company/government and all of their comments seem to follow a script. Also the account is either brand new or 5 years old but only started posting recently.

Could happen to anyone, really. Super common and not suspicious at all.

I had a 1080ti and the only game that really gave me grief playing on high settings was Starfield. I’m not saying older cards won’t have problems playing newer games but I am saying all cards have problems playing Starfield.

This is what I was hoping for. Something that an Android using friend of mine doesn’t grasp is that Apple adopting RCS with E2EE encryption as it’s implemented at the moment makes them beholden to Google. Google’s putting on a song and dance pretending to be the good guy in this situation but if that were true they would have developed E2EE in a way that was a part of the RCS standard instead of proprietary. In a weird turn of events; Apple committing to improving encryption for the RCS standard has turned this into a really good thing for everyone.

I never would have put this situation on my bingo card after years of Apple’s “Blue bubble vs green bubble” crap.

I unironically love the idea of spacial video, the only problem I see is accessibility for actually viewing them. To that end this is good news! No one I know is going to buy hugely expensive Apple VR goggles but cheaper VR headsets are within the realm of possibility.
