Yes, it's a small electric oven with fan. It's perfect when you just want to cook/reheat small amount of food.

> Buy an air diffuser

Don't. Its bad for your health.

You don't have OCD.

> not everyone has access to charging infra at destinations

So there is a big chance you won't have access to battery swapping station also, since it would require even more powerful infrastructure. If there is no electricity there will be no battery swapping station. Or maybe you just want to buy multiple batteries and carry them with you?

> swappable batteries would also radically lower vehicle and battery fabrication costs

How so? Well, maybe if cars were sold without batteries that would of course make sense, but then you'd pay for the batteries anyway at swapping stations. I'd say that it would increase the overall cost, since you'd need more batteries than cars to make sure there is always one waiting for you at the station. But that's just guess game now.

> what happens when the battery’s lifespan is breached and capacity craters.

You go to the mechanic and replace the battery, like any other part of a car that goes faulty :).

Right now, most EV car consumers have access to charging infrastructure and are not doing very long trips all the time. Those who do, just buy petrol cars simply because they are much more convenient for those uses. If the market of home-charged electric cars saturates, then it's time to compete with ICE cars on those long distances. We are not there yet. And we may never get there, who knows? I know that if I were to buy a new car now, I'd go for electric regardless if I could swap my battery or not. It's just that they are expensive now due to high demand.

It takes some mental work if you were raised in hustle culture, but it's worth it. It took me 8 years and I'm proud to say that I can happily leave my work at scheduled time regardless of what's going on there and enjoy rest of my day care free. I'm not yet at the "don't give a shit about anything as long as they pay me" level, but maybe one day I'll get there.

It took me a long time, so I advice each and every one of you - start now. And start small. Scheduled turn off your work phone/email is a good beginning to a journey of letting go :)

As long as it is not your own business, I see no issues there. So, the work is going to be done later. It's not your problem, it's your bosses problem for not hiring appropriate number of people to do the job.

The most important part of this conscious choice is that... Nobody wants that. Most use cases for cars these days are short trip to work-store-home. Nobody needs to swap batteries. People just charge at their destinations.

There are few problems with electric cars that can be solved with upgrading infrastructure, but battery swapping stations are definitely not one of those.

Just because somebody points out your lack of knowledge on a subject while you give tips on this subject doesn't make they "are dick about it".

If you can start a car, drive home and next day battery is dead, your battery is just bad.

You can control where you live and where you work. You choose to live in car-dependent place. I choose to not live in such a place, therefore I never have to worry about shoveling snow when it gets cold. Also don't need to worry about car door freezing, don't need to worry about pushing snow out of my driveway etc. I just put my winter boots on and that's basically it.

Even better LPT: make your living arrangements in such a way that you don't spend your life doing maintenance work.

The answer is: recurrence.

Best way to learn a new language is to move to the country where they speak it and live there.

Great. And I want to spend quality time now. Focusing on meaningful conversation instead of taking photos helps with that.

If they care more about photos than my well being when I'm actually spending time with them, then yes, fuck them.

It seems super weird this "ms" and "mrs" thing. Do you really address women differently according to their marriage status? Why? That seems extremely sexist thing to do. I though it is long gone relic of the past where married women were treated like men's property.

This thing doesn't exist in my native language, so I'm always baffled why this is still a thing in English.

The kind of culture that sees nothing wrong living surrounded by trash.

Is fast progress the point of hobby? I don't think so. Getting private tutoring robs you of the best part of hobby - figuring stuff out yourself.

Yes, I am able to choose whether I like to go to a family gathering with her folks or not. It's not even that her family is crazy or something. It's mostly fine, but sometimes I just don't want to spend time with people who are boring just for the sake of sitting together for few hours. And she supports my choice to not go, because that's what loving partner do.

We do things we both like together. We do things only one of us want separately. Frankly, talking about marriage in terms of "sacrifices to keep he peace" is something I'll never do. What's the point of being married to somebody if you then live like that? What kind of partner would deliberately put their significant one through a miserable experience?

> You don't just marry the person; you marry their family, too

No, you don't.

It's capitalism. Running a business requires your undivided attention for long time. Unless you are extremely lucky, you can say goodbye to private life.

What makes you think you can be more efficient at doing what you do than dozen of other people in your area who are doing this for decades now? You won't be. So you need to make up by spending ungodly amount of time on this. Have you seen a business owner working 3-4 hours a day just after starting their business? I doubt that. That's how much I worked right after finishing my education, and I made enough money for comfortable life.

Yes! And then dedicate all your good years into making money. Money will buy you health, happiness and memories. You'd just go to the "experiences" shop at age of 60 and buy it all!

Maybe OP starts to develop some mental issues? I had an uncle that would claim bizarre things happening to them and it turned out it was all in his head.

I'm not familiar with systems outside of Earth, so can't tell you if covering dental under universal healthcare is something typical in 'osmos or not.
