I lived in Suburbia as a child. Happiness is a thin veneer over the contempt the majority of neighbors feel for each other.

I lived in rural towns for much of my young adult life. Monopolized utilities and services, as well as the issue of small-town indoctrination, were reliably present.

I currently live in a metro. The rampant corruption and vehicle-oriented culture are noxious.

I guess I want to live in outer space. It’s pretty quiet up there and I’d imagine it doesn’t really smell all that bad.

I concur. Get the alternator checked. The diode might be giving up the ghost and causing reverse-current, draining the battery even while off.

Why does the car being permium matter?

More electronic systems means higher instantaneous current draw.

Seems like it’s perfect for me, no?

Hey, if you get a fine deal on it and it provides all the CCA you need then that’s a win in my book. You should still look into trickle charging if not driving the car for more than a week. The battery can get damaged.

Don’t waste your money on an AGM battery. Unless you have a premium luxury vehicle (i.e. Audi) and the extra cash to burn, just find a decent brand battery with as much CCA as you can fit under the hood.

Get yourself a 12V trickle charger. Most quality units will fully charge your battery and keep it in a “floating” mode to top it off, letting you keep it connected to the car for several days at a time.

Dispatch this thug in brutal fashion, that all may hear of your arrival!

How do I integrate the trigonometric function sin^7(x)cos4(x)?

They’re keeping the layout and “adding more storage”, even though you can easily buy a 1TB SD card for your current Switch. So, in all honesty, it’s just a Switch with a bigger screen. At least on a Steam Deck you can play an order of magnitude more games on it, with -much- better variety.

No, it’s an Australian.

So shrimp are just sea hot dogs. Got it.

Who do I crowdfund to DDoS the DDoS’ers?

The Internet Archive, and by extension the Wayback Machine, are integral to Internet democracy and accountability. We can’t lose that.

It’s not so much about paying more, but rather directing where my taxes go. I already pay out the ass in taxes where I live, I’d just rather see my hard-earned income spent on public comprehensive healthcare… primary and undergrad education… automating as much production as possible… universal basic income.

Not blowing people up. Not digging for oil. Not bailing out corporations. And CERTAINLY not funding police with military surplus used to oppress and murder our very own citizens.

The people using my money for those purposes, and more, can go Fuck themselves to death. Preferably in the least enjoyable way possible.

I wonder if a layer of Ripstop over the tiles would reduce performance. I could imagine fabric being a less expensive option than R&Ding more proprietary tech like making the tiles even smaller.

Edit: Glossed over the fact the tiles rotate. Nevermind me.

I could see them innovating with electromagnetic suspension, like with predictive magnetic suspensions in supercars. General Atomics has also been developing a rarely green-lit, high-speed maglev train for freight in California, so we may see proliferation of that tech if the project shows success.

"Listen friend, I get it: you’re a family man. It’s hard workin’ day-in and day-out lookin’ 'dis good, am I right? Don’t tell me you don’t know how it is!

But my friend, 'dat’s where our similarities end! Where I may only walk to work (albeit with much better fur), you will be cruisin’ to work in 'dis bad boy. Just think of all 'da cans of wet food you’ll be hauling with 'dis spacious interior. 'Da engine, you ask? Just purrfect, almost as smooth as my coat. Almost.

Go on, just take it. I’ll worry about all 'da lame paperwork, you get out there and own those streets like 'da sun-stricken, microfiber blanket 'dat it is!

Just think of all 'da cans, friend!!"

I don’t think they have a backup plan, everything is going according to their active plan. You could almost consider this like micro-colonization: the wealthy step on the toes of the working folk, lie to the workers into thinking colonization is good, drain resources and human willpower, then throw them in a ditch after they realize their home was stolen from them. Ask the Native Americans, Aboriginals of Australia, or almost every single African country to ever have existed.

TL;DR - We’ll probably be displaced to neat little patches of land where were are out-of-sight, out-of-mind.
