  • I got the prius prime 2022 because I’m a small car guy. It’s good. The Rav4 has more range on it in electric mode, but the prius still gets ~52-58mpg in gas mode.

    The one thing you gotta watch out for is the infotainment. I have the xle, which has this big beautiful screen, but only works with carplay. Yep, DOES NOT WORK WITH ANDROID AUTO. It’s insane. This is an aspect ratio thing, so might be fixed in the future? Not holding out hope for that though.

    I do love the map thing, but man its so annoying not to be able to connect my phone with Google maps since their nav system is worse.





  • I thought they defined persistence as literally the length of time an entity exists. There are many ways to persis under their model.

    For non biological systems, it’s about being in a energetically favorable state for the environment. For example, while many chemicals will form and break down quickly as their environment changes, with form more stable structures that persist through the shifting environments. These structures are selected for as the basis of potentially new reactions and chemicals.

    I haven’t given chemistry much thought, but the idea holds pretty well for biological systems.

    Ultimately, you’re right this is totally a thought piece. However, it’s great discussion material.
