One thing I genuinely dislike about EquinoxEV is how short the coasting length is when you take your foot off the gas pedal. There is a fairly aggressive regen brake that is automatically applied, so the car can't really coast far.

How is the coasting compared to Model Y? Does Model Y also have aggressive regen brake?

I just finished playing Metro 2033. I liked it, but don't know if I LOVED it. I'm the type of gamer that usually just tries to play the single best game in the series and skip the rest. When it came to Metro, there wasn't really a clear consensus on the best game, so I just went ahead and tried the first game.

The setting was interesting, I like the apocalyptic background with Red and Nazi factions. I liked the gunplay and combat with both monster and human enemies. There is a nice variety of weapons that function differently and all feel useful. The overall vibe and story telling was quite good.

Some areas that I felt fell a bit short: There wasn't really a lot of character development. There isn't really any strong friendship or bond. There is no love-interest or sister/daughter role to get involved in. There isn't any sense of hope. I wish there was something hopeful to reach for, such as a rumor of life in some distant region of Siberia that we need to find a way to. Also I really didn't like the ghosts and mystical elements of the game. They were confusing and felt out of place to me. I think there is already more than enough intrigue to play with.

So should I keep playing the sequels? What do they do differently?

I heard Exodus is more of a open world instead of chapter-led game? So is it more like Far Cry 3, traveling to different areas on the map to fulfill missions?

Let's say you set it to charge to 80% by 9am.

It is currently 8:30am, and you are at 20% charge. So if you plug it in now, there is no way it can reach 80% in 30 minutes.

What does the car do?

Does it not charge at all because it can't make the time?

Or does it just charge all the way to 80% and ignore the 9am deadline?

Who are your best former soviet boxers based on overall ability and success? This is my ranking. This is one incredible lineup to be honest. They're definitely doing something right.

Haven't seen anybody talk about this yet, but I noticed a product listing for Battle that I haven't seen before.

Is this new? How is it different from the old Battle?

Anyone tried the Reactor Hyper Power AMG?

How does it differ from the regular non-AMG Hyper Power? I have this rubber, and it is a good reliable Chinese tacky rubber with medium booster reaction. Good H3 alternative.

There is also a Blue package Hyper Power Pro. Any idea about these?

Right now, both left and right parties are opposed to Chinese EV's coming to USA. This is seen as the centrist or establishment view. I don't see this changing anytime soon. What would be the most realistic or likely path that Chinese EV's are allowed in?

Why would a US president ever decide to let them in? How would that benefit him?

Would there just have to be a massive outcry against inflation and against gasoline, that eventually a new type of president is elected?

How can Sierra speak and sing the French lines for the French production of Phantom?

Does she actually speak French? If so why?

Or did she just memorize the entire script in French? If so, how does she produce the French pronunciation so well as an American?

In their prime, which of these guys was overall the better fighter? These 2 guys are pretty similar. Soviet style boxing style, destructive and powerful punches, long famous KO streaks, strong chins, unified champions.

Golovkin's KO streak ended when he faced Canelo. Beterbiev's ended against Bivol.

I think Beterbiev has better hand and foot speed. I think Beterbiev's fights also tend to end earlier, so he might have more power as well.

Golovkin has better jab and controls range better. He is a bit more Klitschko-like.

I ask myself, if these guys were the same size, which one would I prefer to face? For me, I think I'd rather face Golovkin and avoid Beterbiev.

Which do you think is better and what are your reasons?

When I get a slow spinny loop, (often times high arc), the ball does a low bounce off the table because of the high spin. Often times the ball bounces to the side as well.

What's the best way to counterloop or counterattack this type of ball? Because the ball can bounce all over the place off the table, I find that it's pretty easy to swing and miss the ball completely. It's much safer and easier to just block the ball back, but obviously is much less dangerous.

How can you counterattack this ball without raking on so much risk with the ball going all over the place?

Let me describe my journey. I first watched the 2004 POTO movie in high school because my friends were into the theatre scene. I wasn't the biggest fan or anything, but I really liked the music. I probably was addicted to the music for 3 months or so before I just moved on with life.

I didn't touch or listen to or think about POTO for 20 years. Then a few weeks ago, suddenly I got a random youtube feed recommendation for some POTO content. I honestly can't even remember what it was or why I clicked on it. Oh, I think it might have been a video "everything wrong with POTO movie" that I clicked on because I thought it would be funny. But that got me hooked a bit, because I thought the story was quite intriguing. I kept looking up info about POTO, and then I stumbled on the 25th anniversary proshot. I was like "wow, you can actually see the real stage musical from your computer??".

So I watched that and that really got me hooked. I loved the way Phantom sounded (Sorry but Gerald Butler sounded terrible in 2004). At first I wasn't totally sold on Sierra: I mean she was almost 30 years old playing a young girl, and she has a bit of a unique look. But pretty quickly she won me over with her charming performance. Not only did she sound great, I loved her wide range of expressions with her eyes. She has a seductive intoxicating look, and a innocent look, and then a boyish playful look.

After watching the 25th, it left me with lots of melancholic feelings and questions about life in general. I look up, and holy cow, Sierra Boggess is 44 years old next month. It makes me sad about life that she'll never be Christine again. So now I have all these questions running through my head:

What was I doing for those 20 years?

Why do people lose interest in something they loved so much at one point?

Where was I in 2011 when the 25th came out? Why didn't I hear about it then?

How would I have felt if I watched it in 2011?

Ramin can probably be Phantom again if he wants. But could Sierra possibly return to play Carlotta someday?

Did Phantom spend the rest of his life broken-hearted over Christine? (Seeing Phantom with a robot Christine doll in LND breaks my heart).

Will we ever get another Phantom universe musical? Another sequel or prequel?

Why do stage actors have so much passion for their craft? What should I be passionate about?

Why did Sierra return to competitive figure skating as an adult? What does that say about life?

These are just some of the crazy questions and emotions I have having. Anyway, I'd love to hear your story and how it makes you feel!
