Yes but that's socialist.

And goes against my donors paycheck.

/s but many people in charge are willfully ignorant that society can be built in a way that doesn't rely on cars.

It actually goes further than that. In spacetime you're always going the same speed, the more in space, less in time.

At least from the special relativity perspective.

I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.

ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it's unique.

East coast united states has similar population density to most of europe.

It's just out west we have a lot of empty land.

I'd rather they build sustainable transit systems, but I'd take cheap evs over nothing.

4g of CO2 per email? I find that hard to believe. Probably overestimating emissions like some media did with Netflix.

Your best bet is probably to make your own.

Find a high quality NVMe drive and put it in a USB enclosure.

If the USB ports or anything other than the drive fail, the data is easily recoverable.

Given your use case, buying an external drive is probably fine, just don't get one from SanDisk.

The main thing is to remove the exemption of "light truck" for regulations that make suvs and trucks so much cheaper to manufacture for auto companies.

As for local areas, they can increase property taxes for heavy vehicles, to disentivse owning them.

Dont forget they removed a tank slot, greatly changing how the game was played. And IMO not for the better.
