So, working for a power company, I have some insight for you on this. This is still the power companies doing bullshit, but there is some truth to the grid being unable to handle electric vehicles. We are seeing the same issue with electric tankless water heaters.

Most companies, unless you ask and pay for it, will size a transformer for your house as small as they can get away with. 15 to 25kVA is kinda standard for overhead, while 50 to 75kVA for padmount is usual (because the same transformer will serve two to four houses).

If you install a fast charger on your house, and run the dryer, and the water heater turns on, the fuse will blow on the transformer. Then you call in an outage, they have to put a new fuse on, and usually don’t tell you what was wrong. Then once you figure it out, they have to tell you that you can’t do all that (and lose revenue from all the downtime and sending a technican) or they have to put up a bigger transformer.

It’s far easier to say “lol our grid is old and bad” than “we don’t want to spend out profits on needed upgrades and maintenance”. Meanwhile, data centers are exclusively connected directly to a substation that can handle their needs or to their own dedicated transformer banks directly off of transmission lines. Never are they on some back woods tap fifteen miles from their substation.

It’s mzrk, isn’t it.

I normally see “Staple” used. How did you get that upside down “p”?

I prefer squirrel. MySquirrel. PostgreSquirrel.

Must be why you left reddit. 😏

Plant based ones…

It’s not fake food, but it is the food that my food eats.

Nah, you just have to drink a verification can.

I mean, it depends on which end they were pumping from.

Lol, leaving it.

She has a name. Jeez…

This kinda happened to me with Breath of the Wild. Beat it, then started the master quest and got again to Ganon. Just couldn’t hit him enough to overcome the health regen. Put it down. Years later, Tears of the Kingdom came out. Then the switch 2 came out. Have not picked it back up since. Just can’t bring myself to do it.

Speaking of, in Tears of the Kingdom I did literally everything except even engage with Canon. Just… stopped there.

Or to the previous owner, since that information doesn’t just disappear after expiring.

Colby nooooooooooooo

No, it’s the right amount of legs. Different container.

A queer of scissors

Oh no, rival game stores realize that they need to be better than steam to compete against steam? Won’t anyone think of the shareholders?!?

It’s almost like their shitty games aren’t enough to draw in sales. Almost like bringing down prices to where people are willing to pay them might actually convince people to spend money.

Weird.
