I live in Wyoming, people not from here have a hard time understanding how desolate it is here. If I were to switch to an EV I'd have to take a plane everytime I wanted to visit my elderly mother, who would send a cousin in her ancient f-250 to drive me around, because there isn't a single electric charger in that QUARTER of the state
I live in Wyoming, having been to Maine, yall have an amazing and beautiful state but your definition of bumfuck no where is lacking. I checked the EV map again the ENTIRE QUATER of the state I live in that doesn't have a single charger is where my family lives. I down south near Colorado for reasons I don't want to get into right now but I want to be able to actually visit my family without having to take a plane between the two airports in Wyoming.
Yeah the current weight/range/battery combo for me in my almost entirely rural state is an ICE vehicle as much as I like EVs they just can't get me where I need to be with the current infrastructure. Unfortunately my attempts is also revoking its green energy tax stuff, got to love Republicans. But at least we got rare earth metals now, so that means nothing has to change! (God I love my state but hate the people running it)
Yeah but I'd like to visit my family and the nearest charging station is halfway across the state
You mean, "Aliens are labor, food and meatshields. Robots are to keep them in check and profitable."
My nation never belonged to Britain colonizer.
Twitch that is some damn good bait
My mother went to college with crystal people, in the 70s. It's been a thing for a good long while

It's ancient iirc
Or we could just embrace minor cultural differences instead of smoothing humanity out into boring orthodoxy
No technology is a dead end, you can't run trains 30 miles out of town for 6 families already over 500 acres. Just because a technology doesn't benefit urbanization doesn't make it worthless.
Because unless you live underground, are blind, or live so far north or south that the day night cycle loses cohesion it's literally as easy as "Can I see daylight?" If you really want to fix it round hours out to 20-30 for easier conversion between days and smaller units, 7 day weeks? That's backwards and hard to convert mentally, make them 10 days. Months are just tied to the lunar cycle we can do better surely. Years are stuck though unless we speed up or slow the Earth's orbit. While we are at it, one time zone, if everyone is on identical clocks it'll save so many issues, I don't want to know when 21:00 is in Hong Kong, I'll just call at Universal 11:00
For you who live in the cities maybe. Personal vehicles will never be something rural people can function without.
I find it helpful to remember "Perfection is the enemy of Progress."
Exactly and it's such a minor thing to removed about, I understand the date system frustration but over using AM/PM vs 24?
12AM is midnight. As for the other part I have this mind blowing concept for you, our culture is not the same as yours. We have our own ways of doing things, just like you.
