Do they block all IP addresses from china?
And there we have ity. this is allso a self reinforcing system, due it it being dangerous to walk no one walks so waking walkable neighborhoods will never be a priority because everyone drives eventyrere anyway so..
Unless you are in one of the view ultra-urban cities....no we just aren't built to be "walkable"....hasn't been a need or impediment so far to be honest....it's just our way of life here.
And we're not going to be spending exhorbant amounts of money to rip and and redo our cities.
Personally I dont wanna live somewhere where I'm required to live in dense housing and share walls with neighbors. I prefer to have a front and especially a back yard where I can fence it in or my dogs, so I can set up my large log burning offsent smoker, sent up for parties with friends and neighbors for crawfish boils, etc....
I'm VERY happy being "non-walkable"....my cars and motorcycle suit me just fine for shopping, travel and just having fun out on the road....
I don't have trucks or SUVs myself....but to each their own.
In saner regions of the world pedestrian safety is a requirement in vehicles
No body fucking walks in the US man....hence it doens't occur to us to be any sort of "priority".
Go stand in front of a truck and ask yourself are you going under, or over when it hits you
See?
Now this is where I assume that most people are like myself and try NOT to stand in front of a truck....
Self preservation and all that...common sense some folks call it.
Cars don't have tall hoods, trucks and SUVs do to ridiculous proportions now. Your average truck sitting at a red light can't see pedestrians at a crosswalk, especially children
Not generally a problem, as that NOone walks in the US.
These are not actually going to be much more customizable than other vehicles. The sole exception is in the infotainment department, where virtually all modern vehicles have some big overwrought thing that you probably don't want because it sucks, or it will in the future â" which will affect you if you're the kind of person who keeps a vehicle. But if you are, the auto industry hates you.
Actually I think there is more user customization available than you think.
I saw a Jay Leno YouTube video on Slate with the owner and lead engineer..was interesting.
It appears pretty much ALL the side panels on this thing are plastic....and screwed on with visible access from the outside of the vehicle.
I can foresee lots of custom shops coming up with new body pieces that can be easily swapped out at any time....
I also saw a hint on that show that in the future potential for 4-wheel drive could be an option....I hope it gets there...talk about massive custom options appearing out there for that...???
But anyway they said they were trying to basically "open source" everything they could able the Slate and give it fully to the user to do...they said they even were allowing user to do their own warranty work, etc....so, don't have to take it to the shop if you know what you're doing and it won't void the warranty.,
but have they managed to stop any pollution coming out of the tailpipe?
It really isn't for most people you know....
You can get a cheap car that ALSO has basic modern features like power windows, as long as you buy from a capable, modern car company i.e. a Chinese company.
Fuck China.
We need to untangle ourselves from them as much as we can as quickly as we can. They are nothing but trouble for the US.
This is the same dynamic that happened in the 1980s with Japanese cars and the 90s'/00s with Korean cars.
Not even close.
Unlike China...Japan and S. Korea are NOT stated enemies of the USA....china is.

I had one breakthrough DMT experience where I saw 'the machine elves' (I just saw what I describe as fast-moving fractals that I 'felt' were beckoning to me); but, we have matching experiences w/the other primary psychedelics: I only had relatively minor on-top visual distortions with even the largest doses of LSD (1500+ mcg) or mushrooms.
That said, everyone is different. I know that some of my friends absolutely lost their fucking minds on a few tabs of LSD and, purportedly, experienced wild hallucinations that I have to trust were real to them but haven't ever experienced myself.
Will someone over there innovate and cash in, or will it be someone external to your countries?
We've been living with that all our lives in New Orleans.....just buy a few AC units for the windows if you don't have central air....
It's not the end of the world....
Hell, I'm doubting you have the humidity to go with the heat they way we do....?
