I’m okay since I don’t need much, but my “fucksgiving” is gone. I used to be very altruistic. Now, I’ve been enjoying watching businesses fall apart because I don’t care to justify my cost to repair things. Schadenfreude. I’d rather cut my spending. This is just reverberation towards people that took advantage of me.

I’ll take getting rearended for 500 before “logging in”

That’s a great cyber security strategy.

Bill’s Brew! this is coming from someone who fixes espresso machines lol

This isn’t just google; it’s a new grift using the internet overall. I look something up online at the grocery store website, they put a lot of focus on you should order online and pick it up. I go to the store and it’s cheaper than the online price for the same store. We’re all getting played.

It’s like a checkered screen going black. Sorry for the spoiler.

I think at this point the acceleration is the fun part, graying out or even reding out isn’t out of the question now. Odds are the tests might be done with auto pilot. I’m sure there’s some firmware hacks that already exist to remove the current limiters. I bet higher speeds will be reached with more complicated transmissions.

Smart phones ruined everything. It was fun when I was the only one, hyperbole. I had smart phones while my peers in grade school finally started getting hand me down flip phones. I was like this is great; playing Zelda on a gameboy emulator, or on the next phone that had the same specs as my first pc and playing Duke Nukem 3D. Being able to browse the internet.

Now it’s devolved to a chain collar on your neck as you’re expected to answer the phone all the time and even places of work require you to have a phone to use their cr’apps. Scan this QR code. Ram this up yass, oh wait. At this point I hate phones. I plan to switch to a garmin watch with phone capabilities. I mean 95% is just spam these days for me.

Sorry, there’s another layer. Crippling depression.

This was never about the children. Besides what does this really accomplish when there’s Roblox?

I know, I was just making a shit joke. The whole thing was written oddly.

I get that, that’s why I’ll never buy a new gas car. Too much of a headache after 2006. I’ve been wanting to do an electric conversion for over a decade. The charger thing I can do now, but the previous place I lived was HOA hell. Those assholes had the audacity to look in my shed; I watched it on camera. No way was it possible to have a charger, even if it was a 120v extension cord, someone would complain. But yeah, like the OP mentioned; I’ll have all the benefits of an EV and while keeping all the classic car aspects if I convert. I’m hoping to be able to engine brake with an EV motor… or maybe add in electric brakes in tandem.

Oh yeah, didn’t change when I was in High School. The football field held all the priority. Yet my last year, you had to pay to participate in sports… Health class was held in something that looked like a dark prison cell.

Hah thanks!

I don’t disagree. VT’s system was miles better without the intervention.

I agree. Even in a Korea EV I tried out, I was surprised how much fun it was. Definitely not a car for me, I need something very throttled. As in this idiot drove cars at 140+ mph, don’t worry safely except for the potential of deer.

It has benefits, just like copy & paste. So I guess it saves wear and tear on your hands lol

I see, I wonder how this would affect residential & commercial zoned properties. As in it’s a house but it can also be commercial property. I get calls al the time from companies trying to buy my house because of it. The nursing home keeps sending offers two houses down, I’m sure they get the spam as well, to expand their facility.

Well of course. But they could have been houses or actual business. I mean there was a burger place, one of the only two left in the country, got torn down and a car wash replaced it. The area was big enough for two or three houses or another business(s). Instead it’s a car wash that I never see anyone at. And this wasn’t like a really great place per say but it was a third space for bike and car meetups. I was trying to reference that those spaces could easily provide housing instead of something useless.
