Shrug, I'm not a metrologist to be able to explain everything that goes into why it's normal to have -25C days in the winter here. Our cold snaps are down to -35-40C, not -25C.
I didn't respond to your other point for a reason. I only responded to your 'I assume this is a thing in the US' to correct your assumption. Do with that what you will.
That is not a thing in the US - there would be too much cancelled school in many of the northern states.
Lies. They're very reliable. You can rely on them to be wrong.
Always scourge. Times like right now are a joy, though undoubtedly (and deservedly) short-lived.

You're stating a different point that I'm making. I'm consistently saying "I'm not talking about price", then you go back to price. The initial OP stated that the car obsession is showing it's wasteful, because it consumes a ton of resources. Someone corrected the OPs understanding of the average efficiency of electric cars. I provided the EPA agreed-upon conversion of MPG -> MPGe. You then decided that efficiency = cost. It's not.
Yes, for most use-cases an electric car will be cheaper; you can read about that here. There are some use-cases today where it won't be. But it wasn't the point of my post. Whether or not it's always cheaper, using an EV Escalade vs a gas Escalade will always be more efficient.
My comment wasn't necessarily addressing cost as opposed to how to calculate efficiency. Cost gets much weirder. Nobody can accurately determine the price that anyone else pays for electricity unlike gas, because solar and time of usage exists not to mention the percentage of time home charging comes into play. Washington Post ran a pretty good article on this recently.
Either way ignoring cost, the EV will always be more efficient. That doesn't mean it will always be cheaper.
For comparison, 1 gallon of gas is 33.7 kwh of energy, so 3m/kwh is 3*33.7 = 101.1 mpge
So the numbers look low, but they're certainly not low in comparison.
Exact same situation here, two 3rd gens.
We did the same type of research you did OP, and honestly you have three options:
get a low cost 'automatic rake' box, which will break in a month if your pet has a bad day on the potty. Or worse, everything will get stuck to the rake and it'll be worse to clean than scooping the box.
you go with something proprietary like the crystal litter solutions.
or you get an expensive box like the litter machine.
Its certainly unfortunate that there aren't better options for cheaper, but I do think that it's the right choice in most cases. I have 4 cats and 2 litter boxes, and I empty them about once a week with a deep clean every 3 months or so. We do have one non automated box because sometimes they prefer that, but overwhelmingly they prefer the litter machines.
He didn't take a plea deal. The others did.
I agree, I do think they should allow both aa/cp, and wifi while driving so you can tether to your phones wifi. I'm not as doom about secondhand sales as you seem to be though.
This isn't necessarily true. If you are using an identity provider, you can still perform a password reset on GitLab and set a password there, bypassing your 2FA on GitHub. You usually shouldnt rely on IdP 2FA unless the destination system enforces IdP signin every time. There is a group setting in GitLab that does that, but it will only apply for that group.
