I don't know which is worse: that every company's initial support contact is a useless bot, or that actual human frontline support is incapable of answering simple questions.

The current Powerball cash option, post-tax, is about $356,000,000. My "everything is perfect for the rest of my days" list comes to less than $1,000,000. I literally can't imagine what I'd do with 356x that, but there are people for whom it's still not enough.

Europeans tend to have no idea of the scale of the US, or our lack of mass transit infrastructure. When I lived in Denver, I had a coworker in Germany who said he was coming to the States to visit family and invited me to meet up for drinks... in New York.

And when I bought the thing 3.5 years ago to replace my Model S, it was the least bad option. I'd love to have a Lucid or Rivian, but their starting prices are a year's salary for me and hahahano. I've also owned a Nissan Leaf - total POS. Ya know ya just can't win.

My Ford Escape PHEV has an option to use the gas engine to charge the traction battery, but it's not very efficient at either charging the battery or burning gas. Lose-lose, yey! The computer estimates my electric-only range at 35-40 miles. I actually get about 25.

Once again, my inner (OK, outer) cynic is proven correct. Remember, y'all, Hitler survived more than 40 assassination attempts before taking himself out. If this ratfucking bastard croaks before 90, he's earlier than typical for his family. Their brains disintegrate but the meat suit keeps ticking.

Anker is 99% good, but the one time they sent me a defective bit of kit (an SD card reader that ate a microSD card), they cross-shipped a replacement by next-day air and had no problem with me cracking open the broken one to retrieve my card. A+ 10/10 would buy again.
