Look into the hybrid configurations. You get the insane torque of the electric motors, with great gas mileage and long ranges.

Gonna shill a bit:
The 2026 Ford F-150 Hybrid, known as the PowerBoostâ Full Hybrid V6, offers a best-in-class 578 lb-ft of torque and 430 horsepower, providing 11,600 lbs of towing capacity. It is available on higher trims (XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum) and features Pro Power Onboard, turning the truck into a 7.2 kW mobile generator.

You are utterly incorrect, and have no idea what you are talking about.

The Lightning pickup was a high end luxury vehicle, that wasn't really a pickup. All electric pickups suffer from severe towing limitations compared to gasoline. Not to mention they total fail in comparison to hybrid powertrain approaches that can give them ranges in the 400-600 miles *WHILE TOWING*.

That is, to say, 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".

Ford is pursing EVs in a BIG way. Their Louisville plant is ramping up to produce highly competitive LOW cost EV's with good range. Which is the only way that you're going to move people into EV's. No want wants to spend extra money just to drive an "EV" anymore. The "I drive a Tesla" hipster / yuppie phase is dying, or is dead. The new vehicles need to be practical, low cost, and relieve range concerns.

Anyway - it sounds like it doesn't fit your use case, which I suspect is not actually a towing vehicle / work truck and is more a 'get me to work' or a 'get me to the grocery store' or 'I want get some mulch for the flower bed'. Trucks sold in volume have a pretty well defined purpose. And that's to be used as a truck.

So we will get correct reports on things like:
Hunter laptop being a russia intel job.
Reports on joe being smart and competent.
kamala being the smartest woman around.

How they handled Nicholas Sandmann
Biden coming and saying federal employees were "whipping" Haitian immigrants

Or most likely under democrats they will do like they have done in the past and have the tech companies block or label things as false when it goes against what they democrats want you to think.

Except it really wasn't. At the time of Star Trek you had blacks staring in multiple TV shows, even headlining very popular TV shows. TV and movies were hiring blacks with the requirement that they be qualified while under the woke and DEI thinking the industry has shifted toward a system of identity-first hiring, where a actor suitability for a role is secondary to meeting diversity quotas.

The people listed are the same people who have come out against paramount due to allowing free speech and in their news setting up people to ensure that the new was now biased.
They talk that with Paramount not being biased then things such as Biden administration officials "furiously pressured" platforms like Facebook and YouTube to remove posts that questioned vaccine safety or mask efficacy, Biden explicitly having reporters in "reporting it the right way" regarding the economy, and democrats pushing the false "Biden laptop is a Russian hack and leak" will not be allowed to happen.

Excluding facebook and linkedin the other places have younger users. The older people are not really dieing off they are just not clicking on like or otherwise activly participating; and why should they it is old stuff. The younger are still out there click on like, and sharing everything because they think it is all new.

So, cntrl-f search is broken because it's not loaded. I can't scroll down quickly because it does the constant stop-and-buffer routine.

This is just total ass because people have over-bloated the web. I don't need 20-50 MB pictures on a little screen. I don't need all the bloated java bullshit that companies, especially news media companies, are filling their pages with.

This is another symptom of shitty programmers using 100 different pre-made libraries all of which are shitty and bloated to begin with, along with oversize graphics and hundreds of links to third party ad servers all using bandwidth that's utterly unrelated to the actual content I want to read.

Comment Re:Gas stations do it (Score 1) 194

With a gas station the price is set when you pul/push the handle/button on the pump, you are not filling up and in the middle the price changes.
With grocery stores I can be in there for a period of time, if you up or lower, no one will care about the lower the price, after I have placed the item in a cart then you have a legal issue.
So the problem becomes how do you make sure you have not raised the price on products for that person who is still shopping. Stores use to do it while closed to the public. Hard to do that with dynamic pricing or when open 24 hours.
So most stores do a thing where if the price goes down they lower at the register then start changing prices on item. If going up you change on the items then wait an hour or two and raise at the register. There goes that dynamic pricing. However just regular prices change are made really easy with those digital price tags.

I don't know how to even begin to explain to you how incredibly wrong you are. Being correct and winning means very little if you sign away your right to free speech. And that's what he's done. If google's app store were to suddenly delist everything except their own apps, he'd have to praise them for doing so and call it being pro-competitive.

You hand-waving this away is shameful.

Why the hell do you think American companies continue to contract Indian programmers? It's ALWAYS been about cost. Just that sentence turned me off to the whole article. Nothing has changed in that regard. What we see with our Indian contractors are a bunch of very technically proficient individuals who are utterly disconnected from the actual processes they are supposed to be considering. Oh.... and roosters crowing during meetings. Always with roosters.

You mean things like Biden's DOJâ(TM)s warning to Alabama legislators over transgenderâ'related legislation, in order to pressure political opponents . Political attacks from Biden's DOJ centering on prosecutions viewed by critics , including the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith to investigate Donald Trump. Other examples about bidens administration pursued âoeinsidious prosecutionsâ of political adversaries are Dr. Eithan Haim, 2021 DOJ threating parents at local school board meetings, Biden's DOJ insulating Hunter from investigations, and also poltical attacks using the FACE Act.

As for your questions according to democrat yes a few raped children is a small price to pay to protect democrat interested. You only need to look at the cases of Manual cruz-ramierez, juan ramon-vasquez, christian espinosa, ramon ochoa and then the democrats saying things like we need to provide a "safe haven for anyone without legal status", democrats telling any illegal they will have sanctuary in those cities and letting those rapist out, or even multitude of democrat's refusing to hand other similar criminals over for trial and deportation.
