Yes. That's exactly what I meant. I definitely did not misspell 43 as 53 because I was touch typing.

Electrical vs ICE does not affect New vs used. It's not higher gas prices.

The main reason used EVs are not losing value as much as they did in the past is that the fear of used electrical batteries no longer being as strong.

Previously people were extremely worried that EV batteries were going to quickly lose their charge. There were concerns that older batteries could not be trusted. They thought a used battery was a liability. Worse, everyone kept talking about how the NEXT generation of battery would be so much better. For this reason a lot of people would rather get the newest technology which meant new EVs rather than used ones.

Over time we have found that batteries from used EVs stand up pretty well. Moreover, most people now think that 'new' battery technology is likely to be used for things besides cars (i.e. home back up) so the new cars use the same old batteries.

Combined with the fact that EVs generally have less maintaince issues, people have begun to realize that used EVs are a pretty good deal.

He's not even correct. The U.S. is more urbanized than it's ever been and the old farts were more likely to grow up in new suburbs or small towns that sprung up all over during the post-war baby boom. He's been watching some idiot urbanism channel on YouTube and regurgitating the taking points with as much thought as they were formed with. If prior generations of kids had the internet they would have spend more time socializing that way. More kids were outside in the past because their parents kicked them out of the house and told them to go play. If parents today would do the same there would be no need for these sorts of laws, because the kids would go outside and play if they didn't have Xbox, Facebook, or whatever else they're spending their time on these days.

The first one you mean? Weird minority opinion, but you're entitled to it.

The one and only thing that matters to the mainstream modern media outlet is reactions, because people don't care about news any more, they just want to feel something.

Seven out of 50 is remarkably small. I am shocked they did not get more.

Now, I guarantee you, those affected will realize that the cybersecurity are not joking around. They will improve security.

And about a year later their new security protocalls will spread to the other 53 states. By the time the next group tries this crap, it will be much harder to do.

That's not quite true. You only need to offend one person to get modded down. However, if you also provide value, then you will probably not stay modded down. My karma has only been anywhere other than right up against the kap a couple of times in the last... uh, long time.

Yes. And also and.

But bsky is an echo chamber and feceboot is not, and I want both things.

Twitter is too much of a cesspool to care that I got banned for saying mean things about Leon

You mean people confused by multiple mouse buttons who can't figure out how to configure Safari?

Up 3% today, aka yesterday's tomorrow.

This is why I don't trade stocks, I don't know shit either, but you sure can't take most people's advice

Pot kettle black, fucker. You never use a nice word where a rude one will do. I answer rudeness with rudeness and I won't apologize for that, people who are dicks deserve dickery.

Have you seen the garbage big-bucks "enterprises" will pay for? I thought you said you were experienced. If you only know code and not anything about business maybe you should calm down and take a breath here.

I mean have you seen the thing where Zuckerfuck called people who trusted him enough to give him their personal info for facebook "dumb fucks"? You should expect Facebook to intentionally not ban the worst people, if you are familiar with what a piece of shit Mark Fuckerberg is.

No. It literally wrote it "coverged". Now that I'm at my desktop I can just write it.

Also, the correct word is COVERED so even if it did write "converged" that would have been incorrect. But it didn't. Instead it wrote something that isn't even a word. That is the level to which Google has fallen.

Yeah, but there's usually some troll squatting atop the problem preventing it from being resolved.

This is exactly what someone would say if they never produced any content of value
