An EV engineer friend of mine said that this is specifically the Hertz Teslas because Tesla parts are expensive and sometimes hard to get. So when a Tesla breaks, they sell it rather than repair it.
I rented a Bolt EV from Hertz once. The car was fine, but the charging stations in the area were mostly broken, or they required downloading an app and giving personal information to charge.
I got the feeling the charging networks are all about collecting government incentives and the sale of private information from subscribers, and not at all about service.
My new preferred rental car is no rental car at all.
Ohm my god, right‽
What does “connected experiences” mean?
I think commercial social media does a lot of subtle things to “drive engagement” that I don’t think fediverse instances are doing. Like a sort of gamification of getting likes and followers and of course the algorithms that show us things that provoke our emotions.
Reading and participating here is a lot more relaxed feeling than I’ve had on profit-driven social media sites.
I enjoyed the humor, but the OP did set a boundary of [serious].
So I guess what we are learning here is that setting boundaries is always going to provoke some people to break those boundaries out of spite.
Long ago “drive” meant urging an animal to move forward. And “dialing” a phone number meant entering the “digits” by turning a rotary dial with your digits.
Words aren’t as static as you seem to think.

Someone should look at how much porn downloading and streaming bumps up when government employees are furloughed and have idle hands.
Maybe the evangelicals can be swayed to avoid a government shutdown with that kind of consequence.
Off the ravine or into it?
We’ve been in the ravine for a while I guess.
I guess for each rep it comes down to whether they think the folks in their district will be upset more because they let the government grind to a halt or they colluded with Democrats.
I’m worried that in many districts, voters are so polarized that they would see working across the aisle as heresy. It’s the same reason Jordan got 190ish votes publicly, but only 86 in a secret ballot.
I didn’t read it, but my first thought was they trained it to associate speech patterns with wealth and/or education, which correlates with diabetes for all the usually reasons in the US health non-care system.
Edit: I’m probably wrong:
The scientists analysed more than 18,000 recordings and 14 acoustic features for differences between those who had diabetes and those who did not.
They looked at a number of vocal features, like changes in pitch and intensity that cannot be perceived by the human ear.
I’m going to go look for an update on DeepSqueak…

Wait comma did you dictate this comment?
Recently our county sheriff put out an Amber Alert (a forced alert on all mobile devices) but the obfuscated link resolved to Twitter.
I wonder what portion of the public saw the Twitter login page and just closed the tab, never to see the details of the child abduction.
