The issue is this:
A) Your lane is ending. Drive to the end of the lane and then merge. Simplest reason: why the fuck would they build that much lane if you’re not supposed to drive on it? Alternate reason: you’re just stretching the traffic jam farther back where it could be blocking people from exiting or getting on.
B) Your lane is exit only. Get the fuck out of that lane, you’re blocking people legitimately trying to exit. You’re a cheating cheater and you’re clogging the exit lane.
C) Your lane is not an exit and you want to get into an exit lane. Get into the exit lane as soon as possible. Late merge is just going to clog up a lane and you’re a cheating cheater.
These situations are not the same.

The problem is there’s an upper limit on how much useful energy you can extract from a heat engine.

- Comment on what’s your best “nitric acid acts upon trousers” moment? 4 weeks ago:
I was trying to concentrate hydrochloric acid and had it in my boiling flask on a mantle. It was taking a while and I realized I hadn’t added a stir-bar, so I tossed one in.
Then the superheated hydrochloric acid flash boiled and shot out of the flask like 8 feet in the air. Fortunately, I was outside.

Switch Lite. Great console, but limited in stupid ways. Why no video out?

- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 1 month ago:
The Truman Show didn’t have commercial breaks or ad reads. People in his environment may speak highly of a product (sometimes to a suspicious degree), but they only spoke to people inside the simulation. The products had to naturally fit into his environment.
- Comment on Anon thinks about Truman 1 month ago:
Viewership would probably drop, and the product placement embedded in the show that funded the whole program would be difficult to do in jail.

- Comment on Work 1 month ago:
Because some employers want to see how you attack a problem that has no clear answer.
However, they also don’t ask the question any more because it didn’t correlate with job performance, so take from that what you will.

That’s the same code.
- Comment on Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) 2 months ago:
but in practice it’s best to get a good electrician to run a new circuit from the box in even somewhat recent construction
The photo you linked was a dedicated circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Mistakes/freak accidents happen. As I said in another comment, think of how many millions of households use 1440W space heaters indoors and don’t burn down. That’s what TC is advocating here. By and large, it’s completely safe.
- Comment on Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) 2 months ago:
Right, but people use space heaters all the time inside their homes. This is even less dangerous because people tend not to park their cars on carpet.
If we’re worried about pulling 12A out of a 15A outlet, there is much more to be worried about before we get to cars.
- Comment on Don't overthink electric car charging (we should be doing it differently) 2 months ago:
Standard outlets are rated for 15A. The vehicle is already de-rating by 20% per NEC requirements for any appliance running for more than 3 hours continuously (which is how you get 1800W hair dryers but only 1440W space heaters).
Assuming code was followed for your house wiring, nothing is at risk there.
Then it’s just a matter of buying the right extension cord. Note that the vehicle will refuse to charge if the input voltage drops below a certain level (in my car, I think it’s around 110V).
So you only have to worry about a 10V drop at 12A or 120W of heat dissipation. Assuming all of this happens inside your extension cord, you just need to make sure you don’t coil it up too tightly (or, better, don’t use such a cheap cord).
