Not an issue for us (Ford Escape), the heat and AC can both run off the battery, but the heat does cost a bit of range (along with chemical inefficiency at cold temperature), so range is significantly better in the summer than the winter.
My sister was in a local youth chorus when I came home from college, and told me about the adult version. I found out when auditions were, tried out, got in, and have been loving it ever since!
I had sung in church choirs growing up, but now regret very much not singing during high school and college. A lot of my fellow choir people have great memories of singing in school choirs.
Turns out choirs are a great way to meet a significant other. Other than my wife and I, there are several married couples who met in this chorus (including a couple of married men)! As I tell guys looking to meet people: if you can carry a tune, have a vague understanding of music notation, and live near a medium or large city, you can probably find a volunteer choir. There are a lot of them, they always need people (especially tenors and basses), and are often full of very intelligent and interesting women, some of whom are probably single. 😂
I’m a semi-professional choral singer! I very frequently sing on a volunteer basis in a symphony chorus with a professional orchestra. And also sing with a smaller 12-person choir, really tight harmonies and blending. It’s a lot of fun.
Sometimes I get paid, but that’s rare.
I’ve gotten to sing some pretty awesome stuff (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, video game concerts, Verdi’s Requiem, etc. etc. etc.) and gotten to meet some pretty cool people (including my wife)!
Yeah, in the summer we get around 40 EV miles, if we avoid freeways. I do love the car.
If you haven’t played It Takes Two (same developer) I highly recommend it. I liked it even more!
I liked Split Fiction, but It Takes Two was better. I hope for more good things from the developer in the future!
They facilitated stuff for the various groups who got Federal funding, as I understand it. Meaning since there is no more Federal funding, they don’t serve much purpose any longer. PBS, NPR, APM, local stations, etc, those are who get donations as well.
If a women has starch masks on her body does that mean she has been pargnet before.?
She lost to Trump. She should consider never running for anything ever again. That should be career-ending.
Just gonna be more and more turbulence as the climate crisis gets worse. Keep your seatbelt on unless you’re going to the bathroom. Or don’t fly.
Why would you have any range anxiety? A plug in hybrid eliminates that.
It’s not real range anxiety. It’s “can we make it without using gas” range anxiety. When we first got the car, and hadn’t yet taken it on any long trips, we were anal about trying to maximize our “lifetime” gas mileage for the vehicle. We had it up over 200mpg at one point! But that meant trying to find chargers everywhere.
(After a few long trips tanked that value down to something more reasonable, we don’t care as much. I still try to charge whenever I can though.)
The Pandora section of Animal Kingdom is pretty cool, especially at night. And the Flight of Passage ride is incredible, a very easy suspension of disbelief once you’re on the “banshee” and feeling it breathe beneath you, and the wind and the spray of water as you fly.
Say what you will about Disney, they know how to make a theme park experience.
Yeah, we got a PHEV in 2022 and we love it. I do wish it had a bit more EV range, I end up with range anxiety driving to my in-laws’ in the next city over, but otherwise it’s fantastic.
Are you unfamiliar with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy? CTE is linked to repeated head trauma. Physical trauma. Not toxins. It’s right there in the name: “chronic traumatic.”
Not really sure, but I’ll probably join what I find.
