I commute about 150 miles to work. What I need is a car I can commute in and then after a short period use again to get around locally. I will have used my 300 or mile range by the time I am home. I'd like to be able to use the car again for an evening outing.I suppose a hybrid is mor the fit for me that a straight EV.

Because adult strangers are ALWAYS a danger. The poor kids are more likely to be molested by their local gym teacher or "Uncle Fred" than they are a total stranger adult. I'm really concerned that todays kids are not going to learn how to interact with ANYONE, much less a total stranger. How do they get through life ?

Yes. *I* needed typing training to type efficiently and quickly. The fact that said training started with the Almena method rather than the classic "JJJ space FFF space JJJ space FFF space JFJ space FJF space JJF space FFJ space" method doesn't remove the requirement for training (and more importantly, practice and ongoing use.) https://www.almenatyping.com/

Comment But fluoride and vaccines are optional. (Score 1) 245

It's useful to be able to read cursive the same way it's useful to be able to read an analog clock. But unless you expect people to return to taking notes with pen and paper, there's no meaningful advantage to being able to write in a script that's only marginally faster than ordinary discontinuous writing can be. It's not like there's a doubling or tripling of transcription speed -- for that, you need shorthand or typing. I would much rather see children learn to type than learn to write in cursive.
