The numbers:
As a result, EVs now have 28.4% of the total German car market, whereas hybrids have a 28.1% market share. Pure gasoline models ended last month with a 20.5% share, while diesel-powered cars took home 11.4% and PHEVs got 10.9% of the pie.
He doesn’t see it as too expensive if he’s not the one paying the bill :(
What I was going to say!
Fresh corn tortillas are the best! And there are so many different tacos I don’t get bored. Last week was chicken tinga; tomorrow I’m planning pablano con queso: https://www.cookwell.com/recipe/poblano-con-queso-taco
Red Rocks in Colorado is a breathtaking venue. https://www.colorado.com/articles/5-ways-to-fall-in-love-with-red-rocks
Worked for me 🤷♂️
Didn’t know about this community; checking it out! Thanks :)
Another quick & fun daily puzzle: minutecryptic.com
Word play rather than logic puzzle.
Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle. Sometimes called “Extended Range Electric Vehicles”. TLDR: has a smallish battery you can plug in and charge that gives you something like 30 to 50 miles of range. Then a gas engine to use when the battery is low.
It’s a good option for anyone who has limited daily driving and the ability to charge overnight. Sadly they’re pretty rare. People will complain about “paying for 2 drivetrains” but cost-wise and feature-wise they make a lot of sense for people with occasional needs to drive longer distances.
If you search on cars.com it’s a filter option under “fuel type”. For my zip code there’s currently 3.9K hybrid, 2.4K electric and only 19(!) plug-in hybrid listed.
I heard this as: “You can’t wake someone who’s pretending to be asleep.”
Yum said the technologies developed in partnership with Nvidia will focus on three areas: drive-thru and call-center voice AI, computer vision to analyze operations and AI analytics at the restaurant level.
That second one is disturbing.
Work on learning cooking techniques rather than recipes. There’s plenty of content. I’ll drop this as a starting point as it has a fair amount of content and focuses on moving away from just recipes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srMEoe_5y6g&t=75
Many other resources are available; it’s easy to turn $30 of varied ingredients into many different meals rather than just several portions of one thing.
If I was taking an emergency long trip… I’d probably buy a plane ticket?
I’ve only had my EV about 2 months; but for all the driving I’ve done (even thinking back over the past few years) it’s more than sufficient. With 2 kids and a house; long trips in the car are pretty rare. And the ones I’ve taken we need 30+ min stops every 2-3 hours anyway: for food, bathrooms, and just keeping the kids happy.
Shout out to Buccee’s for putting in a ton of chargers! They realized people will spend money inside if they have to stop for 20-30 min anyway. The gas customers are stopped that long and spending that money as well anyway it seems!
I’m super happy with it and kind of wish I bought one sooner (but, part of what made me buy now was a great deal on a used one). No regrets!
Good read. I’ve not heard of this site before, so now I’ll check out some of their older stuff! Looks like a few years of content history to browse 🙂.
Thanks for sharing!
By price, obviously!

Agree on most of this.
I’d emphasize that while “we” (the USA) didn’t diversify, many others have. China keeps looking like it’s coming away a winner from all of trump’s missteps. They’re already a leader in battery and solar; benefiting from having ramped up renewables so much; and while the US is distracted in the Middle East can probably get away some shenanigans in their part of the world with far less blowback than would have happened a year or two ago.
Republican policies would be comically self-defeating… except it’s hard to laugh when they make so many people worse off :(
And somehow their own failures don’t lead to their defeat at the polls, I still struggle coming to terms with that.
… COVID wasn’t even that long ago? Is everyone’s memory really that bad?!?
Edit: guess they’re talking about the oil markets in isolation. But I still would want numbers, COVID was probably a larger shock, just in the other direction.

Two of my favorite are from Antoine de Saint-Exupery:
“What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.”
“We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” (Also attributed as a Native American proverb)
Pretty awesome & rare occurrence! I’ll add it to my bucket list; but realistically I’ll never see this in person :P
Something it’s never done? Tech is notorious for spending more than it earns. See: the Dot Com bubble.
