Of course he does. But a standard house power connection does not deliver the amount of power you need to charge a car.

So you need to build a charging pole at your house if you want to charge ar home. Which is another investment.

And if you are in a somewhat remote area and there are not many charging poles around you, you are also very limited in how far and how fast you can travel.

So there really is no point investing in a charging pole and an EV car if the car is not capable of doing to the same things that a gas car can do.

EDIT: thanks for the responses. I'm still not convinced that electric is a good option for me, but some issues seem to be fixed or not as bad as I thought.

Still, within my price range it will take a while before I can pay one.

Dude, just start looking. Don't wait for somebody else to leave, be that person.

If somebody else leaves, your workload will increase even more while you try to find a new job. Just take the initiative. And next time, be quicker about it too. Protect yourself.

I symphatize with that, but it would seem they are definitely not going to last until they are successful. I respect that you work towards renewable energy, but they won't lose one night of sleep if they have to fire you down the road.

Take care of yourself, good luck.

Edit: I just remembered from another thread. Somebody shared a gem about hoping:
Hope in one hand, shit in the other and see which one gets filled first.

Not to say hope is bad, but I also believe in being realistic about things.

MrAlternateTape ,

I understand why you ask this question, but really the fastest way to learn is to decide what you want the computer to do and start looking for that.

One thing will lead to another and you'll learn lots of things that way, while you're immediately using it.

Tutorials and courses can work, but usually it works best if you use whatever you are learning.

So come up with an idea for a program, and start building. There will be mistakes, anger, frustration and cursing involved, but you will learn a lot.

First at the lower level, and later on you will probably start wondering how to structure it all. And then you'll learn about that too.

My point? Just dive in, fall on your face a couple of times and you'll learn a lot in a short time.

What is the benefit of closing Studios? Why not sell them?

Yes, this is in relation to the closing of Tango Gameworks and Arcane Austin. Is there some immediate monetary benefit behind it that I have no idea about? Is it so they can keep the IPs and not have to deal with the developers? Are the Studios too expensive for anyone to buy? I honestly don't understand how these executives...

MrAlternateTape ,

The benefit: you no longer have to pay staff or rent for that studio. Take the IP's, what else of value is there really? The rest is just a burden.

Most of them are not bought to ensure their future or as an investment. They are bought to take the IP and eliminate a competitor or threat.

It's sad, but that's the problem with big companies with huge wallets. They'll push people out of a job and won't loose any sleep over it either.

At least that is what I think.

MrAlternateTape ,

Wrap it up folks, we're done here.

MrAlternateTape ,

It's a gift. If they don't like it I hope they find a good destination for it. Maybe somebody else will be happy with it.

I give it away, and then I don't really care anymore, unless the gift was expensive and specifically asked for.

I don't waste my time by being offended about things that I have no control over. I've added my positive contribution to the situation, do with it what you want.

MrAlternateTape ,

A good employer would listen to your complaint. Then talk to the other guy. But he will not get fired over one incident.

It may get added to his personal file. If the list of complaints gets to big, some training may follow.

In my country it is very difficult to fire somebody for something like this. Only after repeated incidents, extra training and multiple chances to improve over a longer period of time would they stand a chance.

That does however require other people to report those incidents. So go ahead and report it because it clearly makes you very uncomfortable and it is very unprofessional from the other guy.

MrAlternateTape ,

It could help with long term to define sub goals.

For example, about what amount of savings you want to have by which date, or set a date when you want to have a clear concise description of what kind of house and location you are looking for.

At another date you want to be familiar with all the things that involve buying a house, the documents and what not.

By defining sub goals you keep things real and are able to measure your position towards your goal.

It's a valid strategy for dealing with complex and long term stuff.
