I had the Samsung version shit itself. 20 cent ribbon connector blew, Samsung refused to replace it, and instead wanted to replace BOTH screens and the hinge for $600. I threw it in the landfill and bought a $250 Motorola. Idiotic, anti-R2R companies.

I don't even like trucks, but the plain interior, ev qualities, and low price is very attractive. I hope they make a kei van version, or a sedan/crossover. A smaller vehicle could be a really interesting proposition for city use.

Many already do, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one that immediately comes to mind.

Perhaps a sonic weapon at the right frequency could crack the wires?

Fingers crossed that this is a genuine subnautica 2 and not another BZ.

1 is great with co-op mods, though it's about as janky as one might expect. Still, it was a lot of fun building bases with friends, and going on submarine adventures.

Can we exert more influence over China if we work with them?

We thought the same thing back in the late 90s and early 00s. It didn't work out very well for us. It gave them the economic and technological means to surveil their people and build up their military, while we benefited from cheap goods, but at the cost of losing our manufacturing base and electing someone who probably has serious brain damage. Who will now run our country into the ground.

All in all, I expect serious damage to our country, and China to go after Taiwan with their considerable military to grind up their young men, who have no chance of ever having a family after the one child policy screwed up their gender balance so badly.

If you have to hitch yourselves to another state, I recommend Europe over China.

Honestly, we just have to speedrun vehicles that are so insanely large and so expensive that they physically cannot fit into most American cities/streets/parking garages.

Looking forward to our inevitable evolution towards eKei cars and ebikes, heheh.

That's why ebikes are considered better than analog bikes by some metrics. Outside of electrified trains, there's pretty much nothing as efficient as an ebike for distance /calories burned + electricity usage (minimal, compared to EVs)

This is why I started ebiking. I'm usually going up steep hills, or hauling groceries or other stuff. Having an ebike totally changed the math on whether I need to actually drive or not.

Whole generations of young people, and older people just retiring now. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, it's usually very interesting when historic leaders have pissed off massive amounts of their constituents.

Can you imagine actively sabotaging your company, putting it in severe financial distress, then telling your boss that you aren't supposed to take meetings with them because your coworkers told you that there could be "disagreement"?

Because this is actively what he's doing, lol.

Perhaps he should grow a pair listen to his constituents. And then grow a fucking spine so he can stand up to this horseshit.

Anyone that doesn't should be voted out next election. We don't have time for this nonsense with the stakes so high.
