This is a thing that happens, if by aliens you mean foreign weed growers operating unlicensed grows in our country. But it's farmers illegally selling them the water.

Yes, if we want to solve our water problems we should make it possible for farmers to not use water themselves and yet keep their allotment in future years by allowing them to divert the unused portion to an aquifer.
Trucks need range because - tow!
The vast majority of pickups are never used to tow anything for their entire existence, not even once. This is probably not true in the UK, but here in the US they often serve the same market that a luxury car normally would, but for people with tiny PP syndrome.
I would LOVE me an F150 Lightning, but let me crank down my windows manually.

When your electric offerings cost as much as your luxury trims, you're telling all of your customers that you only care about rich people.
Yes. That's correct. But have you seen how much vehicles cost now? That's true of all American automakers in particular.
I can think of 101 ways I'd leverage that Lightning, but because you're selling it to me at the price of a Limited trim, I'm not stepping anywhere near that truck.
Ford didn't offer the base package with the big battery, which is how we knew right up front that they didn't give a shit about working people. THAT would be the ideal tradesman's truck, because it can power pretty much anything.
What is the pepperoni pizza at Costco? $1.50?
1.50 for a slice, $10 for a pie... but last time I tried to call ahead at 11 to get a whole pie at lunchtime, I couldn't have it until almost 1pm. I conclude that the pizza is another loss leader like the hot dog, which is why they won't hire enough staff to make enough pizzas to satisfy demand.
Also remember that you can recharge the truck at any campground you might be parking the trailer at.
Maybe. Some of them outright prohibit it because their wiring can't handle the load.
A lot of posts I've seen have a TT30 on them as well as a NEMA 14-50 and they both work because one is 120V@30A and the other is 240V@40A.
Yeah, in some cases they are wired to the same circuit though. They shouldn't be, but RV campgrounds often aren't held to any reasonable standard.
I'm on some schoolie groups and may still be in rvelectricity (if I haven't been booted again for complaining about AI slop) and bad hookups at RV parks are horribly common.
If you're using all USB connections that's perfectly rational. If you need SPI or I2C then you will need additional hardware, otherwise there's no problem with your approach. OTOH a Pi is a hundred bucks and low power and will fit in pretty much any printer, so there's that I guess. Someday when I have another printer I will replace the guts of my Adventurer 5M because 128MB RAM is pathetic and causes real problems. It would also be nice to have the printer do its own timelapses.
"There is an ongoing war that is crippling economies worldwide specifically to prevent one nation from getting one nuclear weapon."
No, there is not. That is a false pretext.

Virtually all vehicles now have a screen for a gauge cluster, except the most abject econoboxes. Nothing is less surprising than an EV having a screen for gauges.
"The only silver lining of Trump's demented Iran war is diesel hitting $6 per gallon and the sound of all those F150 tears."
150s don't run on diesel. Only Dodge has a half ton diesel pickup because only they have a mid sized diesel engine. Ford uses turbo gas motors for that market. Those are F250 and larger tears.
Most people don't know the difference between a SUV and a CUV, which is because the manufacturers deliberately created confusion on that point in order to sell vehicles consumers were rejecting. Most people don't know the difference between full frame and unibody either, they only know whether the vehicle crashes over bumps or not. It's irrelevant because it's irrelevant to the majority of buyers, who don't know shit about shit
"the Lightning was always a glorified grocery getter for people who didn't use a pickup for a work-use. It was suburban vehicle for those that didn't want to have an SUV. It was an upscale minivan that you could put plywood and crap in the back - if you didn't care about messing up your $70,000 truck. It was a great vehicle - but it wasn't a "Truck"."
Trucks are heavy vehicles. They're defined in the code as such. The lightning is a pickup. Like the lightning it was named after, it's not a great one in terms of maximum pickup ability. It's a lot more useful than the last one, though.
You fail your nickname.
Which, of course, is AWESOME.
A human who knows something will reject an obviously wrong answer, but since the LLM knows literally nothing and the AI companies won't pay for it to check even its own work (which won't solve the problem but will REDUCE the major fails) it will just happily shit out a catastrophe.
