Sold in grams for small amounts, then back to Imperial for larger amounts.

I'll layer on to the other replies which are spot on...

One reason I've soured on hydrogen is that it's overall much less efficient than battery as an energy storage mechanism.

This is a really in depth article about a study that found that "well to wheel" efficiency of battery EVs was 70-80% and with hydrogen it's 25-30%.

I was initially excited about hydrogen as energy storage for renewable sources, but battery tech has improved and is improving.

Also, one of the major advantages of a BEV for me is the ability to charge at home, possibly from energy generated by my own panels. Even if there were solutions for me to generate my own hydrogen, I'd rather lose 20-30% of that energy with a BEV than lose 70-75% with a FCEV.

I'm not sure it's true that the Israeli government doesn't care about American public opinion, since they do benefit from American military support, but let's assume what you said is true.

Even if Americans protesting won't stop the genocide, won't end apartheid, I'd prefer that those atrocities are not committed with my tax dollars, with support from my government, in my name. The lesson learned from 9/11 shouldn't have been "we need to enact regime change anywhere in the world where American interest are opposed". It should have been "Americans better make sure they are OK with the things that their government is doing abroad".

I'm not OK with it, I'm not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that Gaza can be levelled with "made in America" munitions. I'm not willing to risk dying in a terrorist attack so that oil companies and other big business interests have friendly regimes to collude with in the region as they scam the people out of their resources and freedoms.

I remember it looked really good for a PS3 game, I think the physics of the sand was a tech demo for the PS3's dedicated physics chip or something like that.

Replayed the Prime series a bunch, most recently the switch remake of Prime.

Great series, I didn't like some of the dialog/cinematics of the third one but the gameplay was great.

Dread was really good, exceeded expectations. Final boss was hard I'm not sure I ever beat it.

Super Metroid was great but I'm not sure whether I ever beat Ridley.

I think I completed the remake though. Really hoping to see Prime 4 at some point, maybe on a new console.

Picked up Talos Principle 1 and 2 for 20$. Really enjoying the first one so far. It's like Portal but more serious, makes you feel really clever, lots of "outside the box" thinking.

I use Slack for personal projects and Teams for work. I think both are fine. The main reason it made sense to use Teams at work was because there were a number of products in use by different teams. IT had Slack and the rest had Zoom. Zoom was raising their costs and we already had Teams as part of 0365. So it was either buy Slack licenses for the entire company or just get everyone on Teams. It was kind of a no-brainer and it was hard to come up with a convincing argument to pay for Slack for everyone other than "Microsoft bad".

I haven't seen an AWD EV more affordable than the M3 yet, and the last I checked the nearest supercharging station is only for Teslas.

For me NOT buying from a scummy car dealership is also part of my criteria.

So it looks like it's basically a choice between Tesla and Rivian for me and there's a big price difference.

Would be interested to check out some other options though.
