  • “A voice note is just like talking on the phone but better,” says Susie Jones, a 19-year-old student. “You get the benefits of hearing your friend’s voice but comes with no pressures so it’s a more polite way of communicating”.

    Gross, voice notes are the worst of both worlds.

    Text for things that are information critical, voice for things that are time critical.

    Email for business (and keep the original chain going instead of starting a new one every time you think of something else to add!), text messages for associates, chat apps for friends and family.

    Anyone who disagrees is wrong.













  • I just bought my first EV. I’m never going back to ICE. Effortless acceleration, a super quiet drive, being able to plug in at home and always leave the house with 100% capacity… People try to argue that they’re bad because of something they remember seeing once a couple of decades ago or whatever. It’s nice correcting them based on personal experience. Also if they go for a test drive they change their minds REALLY quickly. That EV power off the line is a pretty compelling argument all on its own.

    Reminds me a lot of the battery versus petrol RC car debate back in the day. Anyone who remembered NiCad batteries and brush motors had a justifiable hate for electric RC cars and opted for the petrol option… But if they refused to try LiPo and brushless they ended up stuck with noisy, finicky, and ultimately slower cars.

    You gotta be willing to accept that as technology improves the balance can (and rapidly does) swing in favour of something that you remember sucking.
