People with consoles don't also have computers?

I do like EV's! I'm looking forward to the day when its practical for me to have one. I want less vehicle maintenance and I hope that the cost to charge it is less than it would cost to put gasoline in an equivalent ice vehicle.

You're right that technically you would probably be able to run an extension cord for charging. I'm suggesting that this is a pain in the ass solution. Your landlord is going to tell you that you're not allowed to do that. The spots within reach of your house won't always be open.

Within the next 10 years, hopefully more charging infrastructure will be built. Currently, its not available.

If I wanted inexpensive transportation that's a pain in the ass, I'd just take the bus.

I'm going to borrow a picture that somebody else posted. https://www.rent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/apartment_building.jpg

Do you think its practical for extension cords to run from that building to most of the parking spots? It would be a spiderweb of a tangled mess.

This is just not a practical day-to-day solution. Most people don't have a parking spot right outside their window that they can reliably use for charging. There is often a sidewalk that the cord would have to cross, creating the opportunity for someone to trip and sue you. There is often landscaping between buildings and parking, creating the opportunity for the landscapers to accidentally run over your cord with their lawnmower. Some asshole is going to walk by and unplug your car and then you may be late to work.

Sure, you could it, but it's not a practical solution.

OK, but if you live in an apartment, where do you plug in that level 1 charger?

How are you going to leave when you're in jail?

It's actually an irrational number, but for most purposes 100.4159F is a perfectly reasonable approximation.

I think that people arrive at atheism and agnosticism from various directions but I don't think its something that people are commonly indoctrinated with. That being the case, there are few hymns or anthems that need to be repeated, to reinforce the message.

However, this might be what you're asking for https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VpxikuHHG2Q&pp=ygUXYmFkIHJlbGlnaW9uIHRoZSBhbnN3ZXI%3D

Bad Religion, "the answer."

The lyrics, "if you've got enough naievity and you've got conviction, then the answer is perfect for you," always seemed to resonate with me. I interpret them to refer to people who are born into a difficult to comprehend universe, full of far more questions than answers, who latch on to the comforting fairy tales offered by religion with great enthusiasm. I think the song is about how nobody really can comprehend the great questions of life and purpose, but people try to, and sometimes their ideas become religions. I think the song is about people who don't think for themselves, but who latch onto what they're told. Its a warning not to be comforted by explanations and opinions of others. Consensus is not truth.

I work in a technical field. My work email changes "<3" to a heart emoji.

Pardon me, sir. I was not expressing my admiration, its just that your analyte concentration is less than the measuring range of my instrumentation.
