My understanding is this pipeline runs through Ukraine. If Ukraine wanted the gas to stop flowing, they’d already destroy the pipe that runs for hundreds of miles through their country.

That’s not 4WD, then. That’s AWD.

The rule defined the requirements and explicitly called out the difference between 4WD and AWD.

I strongly doubt this.

How does it lock front and rear?

This is such an entitled opinion.

“Just work remote and buy a cheap house”. Most people don’t have the ability to work remotely.

I would also know. I’m driving a hybrid truck right now.

I truly think you’re comparing an old car to a modern one. None of the stuff you listed needed changing with any regularity, one any modern car.

Could changed happen every 9k miles, brake pads are entirely usage based (going 80k+ miles on original), coolants might get changed once in the 200k lifetime of the truck, etc, etc, etc.

A truck bed is way better for transporting potential dangerous vapors, like gasoline or welding gases.

You don’t want that stuff venting off in the interior space of a van.

Nearly every tonneau cover folds or rolls up. Outright removal is a pain, but using the bed isn’t.

The factory standard cover rolls up in about 30 seconds.

A lot of people wash them shortly after going off road to avoid rust and corrosion.

You might be shocked to know that fitting a family of four plus vacation gear quickly approaches 1.5k.

Payload capacity includes how much people weigh. It’s not just how much you can throw in the bed.

I think you’re making up crap. Or at least you’re comparing an old vehicle to a new one.

My truck costs the exact same to maintain as all of the other vehicles I’ve owned. Gas usage is worse than a Prius, but pretty much inline with most SUV.

There’s really not anything that’s materially more expensive to maintain in a truck than any other car.

It’s not just a California problem. It’s a coastal city problem.

It’s not really shocking. The coast is valuable and limited. Living in an expensive coastal town isn’t really “starter home” material.

I know you jest, but Samsung is a massive battery supplier.

These will be plain old dumb batteries

Can’t use it for campaign matters

If the percentages look to large, I just hit no tip.

Switched from Android to iPhone.

Everything just works in the Apple ecosystem. Android has an app for everything but none of them work well. They always require some sort of configurations, etc, etc. what really set me over was consistently missing calls because my phone just didn’t receive them.

Seriously, nothing in the Android ecosystem works well together. It all just sucks.

This is a bad idea.

Beyond the hostage imbalance, you really need a storage system between the solar panel and device you want to use. Without it, power supply can be inconsistent.

Science is just the process of testing things in the world in a reproducible way.

LeCun’s argument is good career advice (you only get credit for what others know you did), but it’s not factual correct.

None of that takes much power, nor is it unique to EVs. ICE have much of that now.

Also cars are not centralizing those systems. They’re all in independent modules.

Or they need to kit car about stuff like this since it probably doesn’t actually matter.
