1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

The Monty Python reference in the PHP one is awesome. And spot on.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Agreed, there are lot of languages I would work in, but PHP is pretty close to the bottom...

Are you sweating while putting fuel in your car?
Are you feeling sick when paying for it?
You probably have CarOwnerVirus

There's a vaccine for this virus - drive electric.

My main concern about switching to electric personally is how long the batteries last.
I prefer to purchase otherwise reliable cars on their last leg. Right now I have a 2006 Toyota Camry and I'm happy with it.
This is pretty eco friendly as well as being economical because the car has basically amortized its environmental impact by that point compared to any new car (gas or electric).
I'd prefer to keep doing this and switch to EV but I don't know if it's practical or not. I need to figure out how many miles/kilometers these batteries can handle before they go bust.

Depending on where you choose to live in the Great White North, the driving distance vs. cabin heat may be a consideration as well.

True. We'll probably end up settling near Vancouver.

Current EV batteries should last over 500,000 miles. Remember, though that some degradation is normal, but if they degrade more than 20% there's a problem.

That's way better than i would have expected. thanks

With brownouts, blackouts and some asked to cut back on usage how is the grid going to handle more electric cars?

The last and current month have the electric grid maxed out and providers begging folks to cut back. We are not anywhere close to being ready for EVs as the norm.

Charge at night - that's what I do. This is using base power generation for my charging and not the peak power generators that are insufficient for the middle of the day.

You must live in the North? here in the South it is hot at night, hence A/C is going. I grew up in Phoenix, it don't ever get cool there.
What about winters in the North?, How does the frigid weather effect batteries?
You charge at night but if say a great number of people go electric then what? Charge using the initial in your last name?, every other day?
We ain't ready and there's nothing in the pipeline to get us ready.

Sewer was also NOT the answer to a recent Wordle that I failed to solve in 6 tries -- neither was Seder.

Nor was sefer.
