The alternative is to pawn it off on the dealer when you buy a car from them.

It’s referred to by the older members of the internet as the Eternal September I believe. Named that because prior to the broad popularity of the internet bulletin boards and the like would get an influx of new members every September when the new crop of kids went to college. There would be a month or two of them

Alpha Protocol and Remember Me are my jams. Remember Me’s only weakness was that combat got repetitive once you unlocked the last combo. Alpha Protocol was wildly unbalanced but loads of fun.

Stepping out of the Vault though, with that visual distortion to show that you’re on the surface for the first time.  10/10

Was that name in the first paragraph supposed to be Outer WORLDS?

Counterpoint: Stationary bikes are one of the few exercises you can do that leave your upper body totally free to do whatever you want. As a result you can, for instance, play video games while cruising on your bike, allowing you to combine an activity you like with one you don’t, which means you’re more likely to

The private automobile represents freedom. I can go outside, get in my car and drive anywhere I want from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego, and I barely need to ask anyone for permission.

You are correct across the board. I seriously considered getting one, but the extra few thousand pushed it to the “probably can’t do it” region. I have a very good financial situation due to permissive parents (and an older sister that’s an even bigger mooch than me) so most of my co-workers wouldn’t have the option

Reminds me of the Doug DeMuro Trabant episode.  There’s literally no practical reason to have that car, but the guy keeps it because it’s interesting.

I wouldn’t be surprised. Tax things you don’t like out of existence, it’s the same plan some places are taking with guns (Tacoma is looking at a law right now).

Yep.  I do pizza delivery and used to regularly drive 2 hours (each way) to go to gun shows.  No EV can do that.  A plug-in hybrid could, but then it would be running on gas most of the way anyway.

Europe has more robust public transit and a heavier focus on walkable neighborhoods.  The entirety of America since the 50s has been built with cars in mind.
