what happens when we lose the trifecta?

soon :)

well, and SpaceX Starlink’s Direct to Cell which isn’t too far away!

you’re right. voltage differential takes the shortest path(s), so it’ll just discharge itself p quickly. you are effectively isolated unless you’re in between the terminals

you may have INTENDED to imply only that, but you did imply both unfortunately. I agree with you on the cyber truck part, but I deal with a lot of slightly more rural folks and the big fear RN with electric vehicles is somehow battery fires. which is crazy since they don’t happen anywhere near as often as gas vehicles. so I’m just trying to say we should be careful to avoid that particular cliche (the battery fire part) since it misleads people

no but they ARE repeating the falsehood about battery fires being likely or common: https://lemmy.world/comment/10496586

(which is something your joke implied)

repeat falsehoods often enough and people believe them, even if you originally mean them as a well-intentioned and obvious joke

A) to go and earn any money B) I actually pollute less in the place that I moved to since I don’t have to drive a car

I don’t think you understand - I can live poor and destitute without a job in my hometown, or leave to find work somewhere else. This is the reality of many Americans in rural America.

This isn’t a quest for “wealth”, it’s a quest for life

sometimes people don’t want to live in the middle of nowhere forever. not many engineering jobs there. we all want economic mobility too
