    Did the Leaf come from the factory with a 50mi range? That’s whack, I remember seeing an eGolf with like 75mi while I was car shopping last year and couldn’t believe that would work for anyone who drives any appreciable amount of time or distance.

    The car I ended up with (2021 Polestar 2) has a nominal ~230mi range and that still feels pretty low compared to newer vehicles with 300+mi ranges.


  • That’s totally fair. It was not my intent to conflate people who aren’t willing/able to take on the burden of living their truth in a hostile society with people who just lack the ability to reflect on their situation, but I can see how you arrived there from my comment and I’m sorry to have put you in that position.

    I realize this maybe reads like some slop-generated apology but I swear that isn’t the case, it’s just my formal writing tone!






  • 8gb of ram shouldn’t necessarily be an issue in and of itself, although it’s on the low end these days. The memory is also old enough that it may just be failing.

    Some searching suggests you could use something like Memtest86 to run diagnostics on the memory.

    If it isn’t a hardware issue, you might have luck trying a Linux distro on it. Linux generally runs better on older machines than windows, and some distros are specifically designed to be lightweight and consume as few resources as possible.










  • Not exactly what you’re looking for, but this reminds me of The Quiet Year:

    The Quiet Year is a map game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilization, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern.

    The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game.

    The game occupies a niche somewhere between a ttrpg and a board game.
