I agree the lack of liquid cooling on Leaves is problematic - I see their batteries die much sooner, often under 10 years. But it's fine if you don't live in a hot climate.

They also replaced the batteries on every 2017-2020 Bolt between roughly 2022-24 with warranties until 2032. So by buying a used one now, you get a car with a battery that's only 2-4 years old, not 6-9 years old. That alone makes them worth it.

It's a known phenomenon called revenge bedtime procrastination

The first two generations of the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Bolt are the closest to what you're describing.

And Cloudflare protection on it as well, that surprised me

The Owl House: it deals with a teenage girl who gets stuck in a world of magic, and explores being an outcast, found family, LGBTQ+ relationships, bullying, and underdogs who save the day. Devastated that Season 3 didn't get to get fleshed out, but the creators did the best with the constraints the network placed on them. Super wholesome, 10/10 no notes.

Honourable shout out to Gravity Falls as well!

Less wholesome but still great:

Carmen Sandiego (2019): it is centred around an antihero who escapes the clutches of a criminal empire and uses their teachings to take them down. It involves geography, sensitivity of cultural norms and how they differ, found family, and drawing the distinction between intent and action to determine when it's justifiable to do things that are viewed negatively but for the right reasons. Lots of flawed characters, but nonetheless rather unique in that sense.

It's Win + Shift + F23

83k Github stars in under 4 years is definitely indicative of an excellent project

Portugal doesn't have a property based golden ticket visa as of October 2023 due to concerns that it was affecting real estate prices in cities like Lisbon and Porto. But you can still donate 250K euro in cash or invest 500K euro in a local business that leads to job creation (among a couple other investment options). Another option for Portugal is the D7 visa, which requires you to live in the country 6 months the year for 5 years, but requires foreign income of 10K euro per year. Either way, after 5 years, you're eligible to apply for citizenship.

Unfortunately those aren't safe either :/ The article mentions how several subs for the game Luigi's Mansion got banned, even though they have nothing you do with Mangione

An unpopular opinion I actually agree with! Part of the issue in my opinion is that houses are no longer made in ways that are designed for their environments. In the past, houses in warm areas would use large balconies or awnings to shelter the windows from the sun, which is where the greatest share of heat would come from. Also, high ceilings and transom windows would allow hot air to dissipate. Courtyards would serve a similar function. All of these provided natural ways for homes to cool without having to use ACs.

Now that ACs are prevalent, house design has deteriorated to what's cheapest to build, without regard to climate. This leads to higher AC usage to cool energy inefficient homes, all while pumping heat into the atmosphere that makes the temperature worse.

I believe ACs should only be used as a last resort. We should design our homes based on where they are, so that ACs are unnecessary except during the worst of heat waves. There are plenty of other ways to stay cool that don't involve ACs, so let's exhaust those before we turn down the thermostats.
