Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.

You are eaten by a grue

To be fair, if you take a sufficiently high dose of mercury, syphillis will no longer be your biggest problem.

Weather. Snow. Effect of cold on batteries. I know everyone hates those evil SUV’s, bit when there’s 14" of snow on the ground your tesla/volt/insert your favorite EV ain’t gonna cut it

How so? I live in Boston, where it gets cold and snowy. During the winter, the efficiency on my Bolt goes from 4.0mi/kWh (134.8 mpg equivalent) to 2.7mi/kWh to (90.99 mpg equivalent), and I park outside in the cold. Otherwise, it works just like any car I’ve had. Why exactly do I need an SUV?

Once USB became the standard their was no real reason to hold onto lightning other than it being proprietary and them wanting to hand hold their users

Other than the fact that they promised when they switched to lightning they wouldn’t change connectors again for a decade.

Because when they switched from the 30 pin connector to lightning, everybody bitched and moaned about it. So they promised they’d keep lightning for a decade. It’s been 11 years.

But I’m sure if they’d broken their promise and switched earlier, everyone would have been understanding.

Especially since the Ukrainians have shown that they really aren’t very good at doing that.

If it’s any solace, anybody voluntarily riding in a plane with him was probably just as bad as he was.

That’s not true. Some examples: WebKit LLVM clang Anything here: https://github.com/Developer-Ecosystem-Engineering

The busses out of Harvard station used them (71, 73, 75? and some others).

Going with the “batteries catch on fire argument” is stupid. “Batteries are heavy and expensive” is probably more compelling. But yeah, wires are better solution for things going in fixed routes.

We’ve had these in Boston since I was a kid, but recently they’ve been taking down the wires.
