And you would be wrong. It is a few very wealthy people manipulating the masses. It is who THEY are, not who WE are; although to be fair, we are finding out more and more who we are... and a surprisingly large number of folks are full of hate and selfishness. Regardless, the government does NOT represent the typical person.

Um, why does only the conspiracy theorist in you think that, when Project 2025 actually explains what you are seeing? It doesn't take a theory to understand what is going on, it merely takes reading comprehension. No shadowy conspiracy, it is written down for you to read. The project is working wonderfully, thank you for asking.

Technically, that statement is true. Words have precise meanings and when we distort them for our own purposes, insanity rules. You can be a rapist without ever once having sex with a person. Is the word rape poorly defined or are we trying to cover other acts adjacent to rape with the same umbrella as the term rape? It is all intellectual dishonesty and people like you feel justified in the performance.

Trump is a sick man who used defenseless young women under the age of majority. Isn't that bad enough without distorting the truth? Or are you afraid of what you might find when you look at the truth?

Logic and rationality is not useful when trying to control a population; therefore, using logic and rationality to refute what you are being told is a fools errand. The ever-infamous "they" want your obedience, not your thought. AI is good enough for them.

The AI is not to solve your problems; rather, it is to solve Microsoft's problem of not having enough control over your wallet. Make no mistake, if you saved your credit card info in your web browser, the AI agent they will install will be able to use that and will purchase 'needed' 'services' for you without your input.

(weird, CAPTCHA is nexact, but it supposed to be inexact... is AI doing this?)

Because taxpayer money is available and taxpayers themselves do not matter.

This is America my friend. What the large print giveth, the small print taketh away. Perhaps you should read the Terms and Conditions a little more closely.

Did you even look at your link? Here is a quote from your "source": Wales â" 75% of households have â" or could have â" off-street parking and EV charging

Or could have... interesting.

I said EUCs and e-scooters. They are real people going real places. The videos are not AI, so I can see with my own eyes what it looks like there. I have spent less than 24 hours in the UK, but what I saw with my own eyes also covers what I saw through the camera lens. The cop chases and such are random videos, but are also "real", not AI.

"Will"? Really? I am from the USA, promises are utterly fucking worthless and to be derided as the lies they are. Let me know when there is sufficient infrastructure and we can talk again.

Ok, I understand again.

I would like for you to provide sources for the 70% off-street parking. I do not live in the UK; however, I have seen numerous videos of the UK: EUC riding and electric scooter riding has diminished a lot over the past year or two, but even still, police chases, etc provide lots of video evidence of what is going on in the UK... and I have to admit, almost every street with houses on it has cars parked on the side of the road. I guess that in the UK there are lots of people living in one house so all of the garages are filled and the streets are lined with parked cars. I get it... but, you have to provide a source for your claim because on its face, it is completely outrageous... which is why I misunderstood "off street parking".

Regardless of any of that, it is still true that many people can not charge "at home", which negates many of the benefits of having an electric vehicle.

While I am not OP and probably not even in agreement with OP, I think this is a fantastic question: Reading, writing, arithmetic (of course the basics), unvarnished history, critical thinking, foundations of philosophy, advanced maths* (geometry, trigonometry, light calculus), English, a foreign language, athletics/gymnastics, art, music (with theory), and Civics/Government.

But; most important of all, none of this is based on age groups; rather, ability groups. Nobody should be artificially held back for the convenience of the System.

I do not understand your anger. I, personally, can not charge at home. Your numbers indicate that 70% of UK vehicles are parked out in the street, which corroborates my statement.
I am glad that some areas are trying to take this seriously and installing street charging; however, where I live, there is zero indication that anyone is even considering it; therefore, my statement about realizing that many people's needs are not being met. So why the hostility? What fake facts did I spew? It sucks that you viewed straight text as pomposity; however, I have no control over how other people interpret things.

There are alternative shells for Windows 11? I had thought all of those projects stalled at Windows 10...

A majority of people can not charge at 'home'. Perhaps you should take that into consideration when you are doing evaluations on other people's actions.

Society determines what we need to do in order to live. Society has mandated automobiles and burning of coal. I fail to see how an individual has any role to play in that except to kill themselves to stop their personal emissions.

War is coming. There is zero doubt about it. It is close. :(
