How about "offense", as in starting random wars of aggression with no justification at all?

Well, can you name one here in recent history?

Err...you do know that "Defense" of the nation is one of the few actual duties and activities given to the Federal Govt. by the Constitution, eh?

Sport driving will not go away just the same.

I like and want a sports car for DAILY driving...

I like to drive....and every day when I get into it and fire up the engine, it's an adventure for me.

I don't just go from point A to point B....what a boring life that would make for....

I was listening to the original summary of this article...till they used the word "equity".

I immediately shut off anytime that word comes up.

Now...if they start once again to go for equality...well, then, I'll listen again.

I'll need it for my motorcycle.....hoping it all lasts till after I'm dead and gone, so I can enjoy the "old ways"....

I love paying $5 a gallon for high test and $7 for diesel. Although dear leader is telling me prices are lower than ever.

Just recently at Costco I paid $3.99/gallon for premium.....I live in LA in the New Orleans area.....hasn't gotten very bad here yet....

I am not wealthy by any definition, rent a flat, have no garage and no second car, just my Hyundai Inster. And will rather use public transport than get a car that burns fuel.

Aren't you tired of whining about how electric cars are bad since they are impractical in some edge cases that don't even apply to you over and over and over again in every slashdot discussion about electric cars? Or are you being paid for doing this?

With your references to living in a "flat" and taking public transport....you can NOT live in the US.

Somehow you don't understand that what you consider an "edge case" is NOT an edge case over here...it's real and widespread.

For most people

If they did (in the US), then most people would have them or be actively pursing them....

Even if I could charge at home, I'm not willing to give up the driving experience that I have enjoyed since I was a teen.....2-seater sports care with manual transmission.

I know I'll lose the transmission with EV some day...but right now, there's no such thing as an EV that is a 2 seater sports car, everything is 4 seater family car and I'm just not interested in a family truckster.

And an EV motorcycle...would just kill the experience completely....ugh....

I'm not set up to "charge at home"....so far here in southern LA, it hasn't really gotten that expensive for gas yet, I hit Costco the other day and was just now up to $3.99/gal here.

To take the strain off, I try to ride my motorcycle whenever I can, which I enjoy more anyway.....

We still had $5/gallon gas back then due to Trump's shitty economic policies.

Where the hell do you live where gas was that expensive before the Iran war?!?!?

We're just not $3.99/gallon at Costco here where I live (New Orleans area)....

Prior to this we were in the $2's.....easily.

To me the hoops that smoothbrains will jump through to avoid IPv6 and stay on legacy IPv4, especially when hosting, is pathetic. NAT, port forwarding, tunnels, blah blah blah blah.

I have something like ~1.2 trillion times the number of routable addresses that the entire IPv4 space has. Not all are reachable, of course, just the services that need incoming access and they're each on their own isolated DMZ.

Forgot to add: if you enable IPv6, be sure to use the browser extension IPvFoo. It shows a small 4 or 6 in your URI bar to let you know what protocol you're connecting to. Once enabled, you'll see just how much stuff out there actually is IPv6.

Started the move about 18 months ago when I decided to get off my lazy ass. My ISP gives out a /56 prefix, so that lets me run 256 /64 subnets/VLANs in the house, currently there are ~10 in use. Everything get a GUA through SLAAC and I use RAs (Router Advertisements) to give ULAs to everything. Any external facing services get their own VLAN and /64 for the system(s) as needed. Firewall blocks all incoming as they usually do by default and I punch a hole for the external-facing systems. They can't reach back into the network, they only answer the phone. All the systems update DNS dynamically if the prefix or full address ever change.

I have an SSH bastion set up. In all this time there has not been a single SSH attempt from the internet. On IPv4 it was constant background noice.
For those legacy IPv4-only systems on the internet, I set up NAT64. I have an IoT VLAN and IoT 2.4 GHz wireless network that are only IPv4 because a lot of IoT network stacks are junk.

I'm still farting around with it, but man oh man, there's no way I'd go back to IPv4. It was one of the best moves I've done in ages.

Do you not do the classic date night: dinner and a movie?

Sure...

But these days its getting harder and harder to get out on a date without the wife finding out...
