  • I live in Denmark, here the chargers are placed where people park anyway. Grocery stores, parking lots, rest stops…

    It’s getting so easy to find a fast charger/resto combo, that we don’t even plan it from home.

    I’ve seen few 200+ watts chargers without looking for them, but the car is ready faster than I am anyway.

    1. I don’t have enough charge for my trip. I’m also thirsty.

    2. I go to a grocery store with a fast charger.

    3. I buy a drink.

    4. I have enough charge.

    If it’s a long trip where I need more charge, I choose a car snack, and I’ll have enough.

    If I’m on an actual long car trip and I want to charge all the way from the warning light to 100%, I will need to eat a meal anyway. I just find a McDonald’s/cafe,/restaurant/whatever with a fast charger, and it’ll be full before I’m done.

    But finding a store/eating place with a fast charger is still waaaay less convenient than just finding a place where I can get diesel in seconds, and find a different place to get drinks/food/snacks.



  • I live in Denmark, Europe. One Bic Mac meal is 9.39 USD incl taxes.

    The minimum salary in McDonals is around 3500 USD per month for a standard 37 hr/week, including pension.

    This is every month, not affected by holidays, sick leave, paid vacation… It comes with 5 or 6 weeks of paid vacation per year, and virtually unlimited sick leave.

    Yeah, I also don’t understand why McDonald’s says they can’t raise salaries or improve working conditions, because it will make the price go up. So why is it expensive now?

    (Yes, taxes are high here. But we also have a lot of stuff that is tax paid, that evens it out somewhat.)

    “Barely ever”? Isn’t that enough?

    My car can drive 4 people and their luggage. I need that every time my family goes anywhere.

    But usually it’s just me and my laptop bag, maybe a couple of grocery bags.

    So I’m that guy. Big car, rarely filled to capacity. What do you suggest I do? Buy two cars to reduce waste?

    (Although mine is not an American pickup, it’s a European station car. If that changes anything.)


  • You can think of it like this:

    If a / b = c, then c • b = a

    So if 0 / 0 = 1, then 1 • 0 = 0

    Which is true. It feels right at first.

    But what about other numbers?

    If 0 / 0 = 7, then 7 • 0 = 0

    That also works. But if every number works, then which one is the correct one?

    The question boils down to:

    Find x, where x • 0 = 0

    Now it might be more clear that the question doesn’t really make sense, so no answer will make sense.
