Depending on your goals, micromouse could be a good starting point as well. Look up to veritasium video if you want to get inspired.


Let's stay rational please


I've also seen a huge increase in anti EV & renewable energy propaganda.

A look at the posts from a right-wing Facebook user I know are recently all about it:

  * Anti windmill posts
  * Human induced global warming not being real
  * EV charging stations powered by diesel-powered generators
  * EV bus catching fire
  * 'meme post' about an EV simply displacing the greenhouse gases to the power generator that's far away and using a battery that's poisoning children who make them
  * Cost of driving EVs are equal to $17.33 per gallon of gasoline
Seems there is a real concentrated effort going on.


I can still remember my dad's reaction when the first proper high phone bill came in... Oh boy...


Yes, it was brutal in the UK in the mid-90s. That first £1000 phone bill almost had my parents divorce me.


Same. I remember the day the letter came from BT suggesting that my parents switch to the "Heavy User" tariff. I'd been using the nearest CompuServe POP in a different city.


Haha we had the same thing! Mum was always complaining about the phone being in use and I used to have to put the duvet over the pc to hide the modem calling, the AT commands to turn off the speaker never worked. Eventually that company released the pay once never again CD that put an add at the top of the screen. That was happy days for awhile until they they went bust.

Well that is one way to keep costs down.


I have the same issue, but Uber has 2FA on the account through SMS. This way I can't login to cancel the account, and there is no 'unsubscribe here' link in the emails.

Also had someone use my email to sign up to an airline. After messing with the seat assignment and meal selection a few times it became old and customer service didnt know what to do, so I changed the associated email to 'helpdesk@airline.com'

Even funnier was how a gameshop website that I did have an account with actually changed my password and account details to be assigned to someone in another country. No notifications etc... So now there are a bunch of trade-in credits on my account, after changing it back to my own details.


I'd go with these two instead:
