Serious question: wouldn’t the MAGA/Republicans just pick up arms in return?
It feels like the divide in the US is so massive right now that you can’t agree on anything at all. No offence intended…

Norwegian.

I’d say fluent in Norwegian, English and German. German because I lived there for a year and the missus is German.
I can make myself understood in Spanish.
Swedish and Danish come for free as they are so close to Norwegian. I don’t need to speak them as we understand eachother mostly.

This is true, but the batteries do not suffer any harm by being used when cold, just charging which we by now agree is not an issue as long as the car heats them up first.

They also expell heat by being used, so they are nice and toasty for when you reach you destination and can plug in.

The misinformation is that they don’t work well in the cold. Truth be told, they are fantastic in the cold. I’d argue better than ICE. That’s a different topic for a different day though.

You are, rightfully so, claiming batteries don’t like cold temperatures. What you fail to add are the mitigations companies make to solve these issues. That feels disingenous, unless you just didn’t know.

If your phone had the capacity and function to heat itself up during outdoor use, it would also work brilliantly.

So while I’m sure the scientific papers are great, without having read them, I’d guess they don’t include the whole picture either as if they would, we’d be in agreement.

I tried finding where I called you any names and failed, but if you felt attacked then I appoligize for that. I have nothing against you or think you deserve that. We are just disagreeing on this one topic.

Have a good night!

Which is why they are heated before being charged, either by the on-board heater if it’s been parked, or naturally by just driving the damn thing.

You said EVs don’t work well in the cold. That is a demonstrably false statement by the fact that Norway has over 500 000 of them rolling around all year. You can post as many misinformed links supporting it as you wish. If it had any merit, we would not be at 90%+ adoption rating.

Either you are the biggest genious in the world and we are half a million morons, or you are just wrong.
The fact that I drive mine in weather spanning from -30 C to +25 C makes me suspect the latter.

Have a good one, mate.

They work fine in the cold. This old, blatantly wrong, myth needs to die soon.

Source: we use them every damn day all year, including winter.
Sincerely A Norwegian with an EV daily driver.

I’ll give this a watch, thanks for posting.

Lots of good memories in Worms!

Yeah no mate, you don’t get to hide behind the argument that because it doesn’t have a 100% success rate, we might as well execute them. Murder is always unnacceptable

My friend, you are literally arguing that executing hostages is the same as attempting to release them under extremely risky conditions because it has failed in the past.

If that is truly your opinion, then I honestly have no more to say. I can’t reasonably argue with that type of opinion.

I still wish you a great day though and hope the fighting ends soon.

Execution has a kill rate of 100%.

Even if paroling is stupidly risky, the ods of death are still <100%.

It would also be seen positively by everyone and one propaganda piece less for Israel to use.

Let’s argue with reason and not pretend that because it has happened before it will happen every single time. Cock-ups happen everywhere.

I hope people answer.
Wanna see what you think we do that is weird!

I reckon that’s your main issue.
You’d need a model designed for a colder climate.

Maybe for your next one!

Mind me asking what yours cost?

Just got a Toshiba unit installed in Norway and it was $3500.
Built in de froster.

Price might be what makes yours strugle in colder temps.

Yeah I ain’t pre ordering, that’s for sure

Aye, good advice.

The age limit is there for a reason!

Discord, of all places.

A few weeks away from birthing our newest family adition!

Ok.

I don’t know if you wallow in self pity or if you’ve actually tried it all, but I’m gonna let you make the calls for your life.

I wish you the best regardless and know that it’s never to late to change your mind, friend.

So you answered my questions, but at the same time you didn’t.

Congrats on losing 80 lbs! That’s a massive job well done. Are you still overweight?
If so, keep at it! Every pound lost makes you look better, feel better, live longer and healthier.

Facial hair: Who said it looked good? Who said it looked bad?
Did several people compliment it, but one or two tore your self image back down?
If it really was bad: Try something new.

I don’t know and won’t ask any personal questions, but are these deformities impossible to hide or improve upon?
I do not mean surgery, but facial hair, hair, clothing or even make-up?

It’s always your choice if you wish to give up or not, but as long as you seem to have a semblance of hope I’m gonna try to be a positive in your life.

It’s hard to say what you could do to improve your situation without knowing you, and your diagnoses cannot be «fixed».
Being hit with the ugly stick however is something you can work on.
Do you excersize and stay in decent shape?
Do you groom regularly?
Do you pay attention to what you wear (no need to blow loads on fashion, but in general)?

All of those combined could bring you up a point or two, but your main issue is probably your lack of confidence, which is very understandable.

Confidence in who you are and you being awesome is, in my experience, everything.
You can fake it, but to truly build it you need to come to terms with the facts and love yourself.
