It wasnt their account. He had his own chargepoint account. But because its a public charge station, it shows history and its current use status. She was the only one that charged at work consistently at that charger, and had a more rare bolt instead of a tesla so her charge history was showing on a public charger.
It's 'technically' anonymous, unless you have a clue about who has what car and where they charge.
I know someone that caught their wife cheating by using the ChargePoint app the wife used to charge their Chevy Bolt.
The wife charged their Chevy Bolt at work, which had a paid 'public' charger at her work site. The wife charged everyday and left it there so it could maintain battery and AC if she wanted. The chargepoint app shows the last vehicle that charged there, and a history of the last few days.
He checked her works charger histories, and noticed over a few weeks that on days she said she was still at work, the car wasn't showing on ChargePoint. He knew she was a charging fanatic. He drove to the work once. Verified she wasnt there. Called her and talked to her about how her work day is going. She pretended like she was at the actual office. She wasnt. At that point he knew, but took a few more days to fully get proof.
I didnt say they didnt want it bad enough. Im saying that most dont even TRY to improve seriously outside of going to practice, and even then some arent into it when there, even at the college level.
It's not a career path for anyone. But as an athletic 6'4" person who doesn't get injured easily, someone should have told me the odds were 1 in 1000 if I stuck with it in highschool, and 1 in 100 if I made it to college football. I wasn't told any of that.
I actually think its better than rolling a 50 sided die. That was me just being nice about it. I think if you actually actively work with the goal of making it to the NFL, your odds are even better than 1 in 50. For example, sprinting times are atleast looked at. How often have you heard of a highschool or college athlete hiring a running and sprinting coach? I assure you its not very often. (my college gf of 7 years that went onto med school worked in medical services for our athletic department).
Also, your comment about the people that make it being obvious standouts during their first year of play is basically more of the type of thinking my dad told me to discourage me from playing. I honestly dont think its true that most professionals were obvious "This kid is going to make it to the nfl one day for sure!" kind of players, atleast not their first year.
I have a close friend that I work with often, that often talks about his speed reading abilities, and I kid you not, he basically misunderstands important info or concepts in basically everything he is tasked with reading.
I'd slow down.
Peoples say the odds are ultra low, and talk a lot of young people out of trying. I played freshman football. I was ok. I'm 6'4", smart enough to get into Cal MechE, decently capable physically and grow muscle easily and have never been injured in my life basically even though I ride dirtbikes. My dad got me to give up on football.
Later I found out that if you look at all highschool players that play all 4 years, the odds of making it are about 0.1% or 1 in 1000. That includes tons of players that are basically playing casually and not really physically the right body type to make it.
If you make it to college football, something that I could have somewhere with my academics and size, the odds are about 1 in 100. At that point you can argue that just about everyone is physically capable of potentially making it, just missing the skill. But take away those that are playing still just to play with no plans of going further and thus train about that way (I'd argue thats about half of them), that means that 1 in 50 serious football players at the college level can make it.
If my dad had told me that with my size and decent brain I had about 1 in 50 chance of making it, I would have stuck with it. Even if I failed, I would have learned a lot from the team work and gotten a lot of value from the comradery IMO. Instead I studied a lot more, passed some AP tests, and got some boring as hell mech engineering degree.
I have used this excuse in one way or another for 15 years, over several iterations. I made great money in sales, so was able to step away every few years to tackle the great startup lifestyle businesses I have.
The #1 rule I have now, and advice I have for you is, if your idea does not pull at you so strongly to work on it on whatever 'spare time' you have (aka, time you make for it by ignoring other non main job related things), then DO not quit your job to make time. And do not think you will work on it when you retire. Most people just wont.
Unless your idea/business naturally grows to the point where you are spending SO much time on it that you can basically not function while having your job due to sleep deprivation, do not quit your job thinking you will do the work then or you'll have the skill/ability to get it to that point if only you had more time.
