  • Why they always do this?

  • Ok. Keep fighting for perceived value.

    Some day, you'll learn to love yourself, for no reason than just to love yourself.

    Btw, I just finished recovering a dump truck with a come along today, and chopped about 3 weeks worth of wood. Ill do similar tomorrow.

    Im betting your fitness training for attention has you in better shape than I.

    Maybe someday you'll wake up. Until then? Cheers!

  • You feel the need to compete for attention, because you have been told winning a competition increases your "value"....

    Why do you think or feel that competing increases your value, somehow?

    You feel its all just "mate selection" and Im telling that is a facet of the patriarchy....

  • Im just gonna give you ine example.

    I got to the gym, because it improves my health and abilities, allowing me to do more and do it longer. Because I like experiencing life, so it allows me to experience more.

    You do it to get noticed. Why?

  • I just had that happen. A liberal, declared that its ok to be racist against Middle Easterners (Except Israelis) because they all want to destroy Israel....

    Like, my brother in christ, you just said genocide is ok, if it targets whomever you consider "undesirables"...

  • I wouldn't say it's left leaning... Its definitely liberal leaning. Which almost makes it more insufferable than a conservative lean sight.

  • Its not breaking up centralization. It's just trying to get the centralization in a new set of hands.

  • Its largely because of volume. They can keep every truck for moving pretty much on the road, all the time.

    Especially around the 1st of the month. You need to reserve at least a month out for a 1st of the month rental.

    Also, we accumulate loads of crap here. I surmise that's less common in your area.

  • I just want a 15 to 20 year old EV or PHV coupe for under $4k

    Probably need to wait about 10 more years then, for the new cars to be used cars :)

  • Median price includes used. We're not talking about a used R2.

  • 50K is comparable to a similarly sized ICE truck.

  • and people will be more used to the idea of taking a short break after driving a few hours.

    How "short" of a break? After how many miles, is the question.

    For example, I've done a Texas to NY run in 23 hours clock time. Can I do that, with short breaks after driving a few hours to charge? Or a NY to Illinois trip in under 11 hours?

    No. But, sometimes, you really do need to get from point A to point B as rapidly as you can.

    We would need to get range up to about 900 miles on a charge, to make is more feasible, as 900 miles is about the max one can drive in a 24 hour period.

    You may think these are just pipe dreams of impossible to meet requirements, and it's true, they are on the outside of what a typical person would need. However, it is a lost capability that needs to be filled.

    For example, designing cars so you don't sit for an hour to charge. You pull up, 2 people (Or yourself, hopefull) swap the battery rack for a new rack, of pre-charged batteries. As long as we can eek out 300 miles on a single charge, that could work. But we need infra for that, and industry standards.

  • What $20 rental?

    Those do not exist anymore.

    Truck rentals start at $50 now, when all fees are in.

  • Trucks and SUVs are popular because they can be made cheaper due to government subsidies and lax emissions laws that exempt them.

    That's on top of the massive tariff in place for any truck imported into the US. Its a main reason the Big 3 basically stopped making sedans.

  • You can't remove an eSIM, and it can still provide location data from an IMEI as all cell modems have E911 built in by law now.
