Indeed, just like water. There isn’t enough rain in NYC to support it so it will never work.

Funny thing about electricity...it can be transmitted hundreds of miles with minimal losses. And when your fuel is free (sunlight) more supply is just infrastructure build.

We have a 22 lb mainecoon. he’s a basically a dog. with claws. who you don’t get between him and the automatic feeder when it drops it’s payload.

or it’s the UniMeower Manifesto

to be fair “Cheap imported consumer goods” aren’t new either

Even a ‘normal’ situation here in lower tax VA is prop taxes are probably 25% of my mortgage. when you start talking tripling of assessed values, existing ratios are going to get whacky quick.

<looks around at Red states and their like minded blue state brethren>

they don’t have that much money or even borrow that much money.

1st gear: Long term, new car prices simply can’t continue to rise at historical rates. $30K for a new relatively basic car is ridiculous, let alone the $70K trucks. And that’s before the EV price bump. Middle/rural America just isn’t going to sustain those increases.

Another important factor....if you have push start button feature, your keys may be in your purse way down in the footwell and unreachable.

Really wish they’d provided more info on side laminated window strategies. Mentioned it, but mostly seems like you’re basically screwed if you need a fast exit.

Ah ok, I thought you were saying it permanently lost the capacity.  resetting it once in a while with a 100% charge is more reasonable

but in general you never charge to 100% and after awhile your battery starts not recognizing that additional capacity

SC has had the ever hilarious cardboard/sharpie “Tags Applied For” thing going on for decades.

Counterpoint:  A bird in the hand is worth a field goal and other badly mixed metaphors

As I said, it’s all intertwined.  You have mandatory minimums *because* of ridiculous under-sentencing.   The extremes drive the overreactions of law.

Counterpoint: white male judges letting white male prep-school convicted rapists off with probation

The dimensions are all wrong.

“by the worst of society and the worst of bureaucratic bullshit”

Agreed. Though I’m by far not the target market. I’ve bought a grand total of 2 cars since 2003, both new.
