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.

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.

Just be careful with the forklift, Klaus.

I’m pretty sure that story would get your visual novel banned from itch.io due to payment processor drama.

It’s grammatically incorrect here and makes my eye twitch.

You wouldn’t say “whom among us” so you also wouldn’t say “whomst among us.”

You can use it as an object of a verb or preposition though. Like:

“Whomst dost thou hunt?” Or “Those from whomst we flee doth terrify!”

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.

No problem, I got there by context. How angry was your maternal grandpa? Did both parents get thrown out or just your dad? I’m fascinated by this story, like a train crash you just can’t look away from.

If your dad is 10 years older than your mom, some questions are best left unasked…

Especially if his dad was 10 years older than twice his mom’s age when they met.

he was also my paternal grandpa’s bestest bud and living with the family for ~1 year at my grandpa’s invitation

I suspect you mean “maternal” grandpa here. Otherwise he was his own father’s bestest bud, and your mom was living with your dad’s dad for some reason.

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.”
