It's more than just a set RPM. It is also a set power level. An ICE engine is typically the most efficient at a set RPM and 70-80% of maximum power for that RPM.

Then size the engine for roughly highway speed on level terrain. Maybe give it the ability to go higher in RPM - less efficient, but able to handle going up a big hill/mountain if necessary. But ideally the battery would handle that, then charge up on the way down.

Right now, we have AI models that are good enough, what we need is for someone to focus on making them affordable, because even the Enterprise level for Github Copilot doesn't let you do anything remotely resembling the level of usage I was at before they changed their business model. I used to talk to Copilot all day long and I didn't really do anything manually anymore, with excellent results. It coded a lot better than I ever did and since it freed me from mundane work I could focus on making an excellent OOP architecture with great performance and security. Including refactoring legacy code to bring it up to the level of quality you can get in minutes. Now instead of minutes everything takes me entire weeks. Ah the joys of old-fashioned artisanal coding. After 3 years I barely know how to code anymore.

In this case, the primary 'advertising' is apparently for apartments using online websites.

One apartment complex cheating and offloading much of the "rent" into "fees" so they can list at a lower price online encourages all of them to do it, making the comparison shopping of the websites practically useless.

Besides this, the NYC rule seems to cover rental agreements, which the FTC rule did not cover, to my knowledge.

Indeed, but I was answering the question: "It seems like there is an obvious business opportunity for a domestic tractor manufacturer here. Anyone care to explain why nobody has moved into this market?"
European tractors would not be a domestic manufacturer. A domestic company moving into the market would be a "new manufacturer" and would have to invest quite a bit into development - design, manufacturing, etc...
It's easier for other companies, whether Chinese, Japanese, or European to move in instead with their own superior offerings.

That would be that labor costs are too high, they wouldn't be able to compete with the established players as a new manufacturer that would have a bunch of development costs for what would, at least at the start, be more primitive offerings.
Of course, primitive is what some people are after.
Meanwhile, the Chinese have taken over on much of the innovation, or at least development. The USA and Europe have too much invested in the status quo these days.

I attribute it down to mostly the elimination of leaded gasoline. 18-20 years after use drops, crime drops as well.

microwave labotomy ... We just put the machine against your head here for a bit and those bad urges go away, all better.

Another poster mentioned that it's actually focussed ultrasound.

Still sounds like breaking a piece of a system by stirring the brain with a knife (lobotomy) or burning it out with heat (cauterization), electricity (electroshock) or mechanical shock (blow to the head) - just carefully focused without (substantial) damage to other parts of the brain or its casing.

Ultrasonic destruction of a piece of the brain's reward/punishment/desire/avoidance mechanism rather than persistent unwanted fat.

There was actually an incident of this some years ago. A pensioner (not the USA, UK, or similar) was declared dead by mistake. So they stopped his payments, went to take his housing away, etc...
He ended up being the most polite thief, just for life necessities.
They eventually tried to arrest him. Except the computer wouldn't accept the entry because dead. Fingerprints were for a dead man.
Couldn't hold a normal court case because dead.
It took like a year to fix, and they decided to drop the charges and stuff because he paid the businesses back when they finally gave him the back money owed.

Autocorrupt: some to somehow

If the aftermarket fob is a cheaper build, one needs to look for a better quality kit. Never had a problem with my fobs.
And yes, the replacement fob did everything.

No, of course a broken spar is A Very Bad Thing when it happens in midair.

Is this changing-the-timing-chains-in-an-Audi difficult, or is this replacing-your-spinal-cord-without-killing-you impossible?

Are these planes repairable? I think it's a reasonable question.

(Of course, with the Audi, if has anything more than a loose gas cap it's not economically feasible to repair, but that's what you get with European engineering.)

With lead-acid and extended run times, volume starts mattering again. Especially if one is trying to retrofit cell towers that might not have had significant UPS capability before.

In addition, the lead-acid batteries in this use can last for a long time, and perhaps more importantly, the UPS equipment is set up for lead-acid. It's cheaper to replace the lead-acid batteries than it is to switch to a newer chemistry, even if LFP is getting down to lead-acid prices per kWh.

For a NEW install, I'd very much look at newer chemistries. Though NMC would be low on the consideration list. As you said, need durability not low mass/volume, and lower cost is always good.

I had an aftermarket remote starter in my truck, professionally installed, no problems with it for a decade.
They did hook it up, it replaced my original remote, so I didn't have to carry both.

I remember that, but things have improved a lot. A cell tower only takes 1-8kW, and we have drastically better batteries.
Plus, a lot fewer land lines, so need to keep the towers up for emergency services.
