Massachusetts has had decent right to repair for a decade too. And had universal healthcare way back too. They just got legal weed recently, but like the others, cost of living is rough there. Boston, Somerville and Cambridge housing, but you’re stuck in Boston.

Stack overflow has been one of the consistently reliable googleable sites for decades.

It’s a shame Quora has strayed so far from their initial cloning of SO’s site. It seems to be turning into AskYahoo 2 fast from the results I’ve seen lately.

But it turns out to be too dense to follow along.

Until it meets some carbide…

Sounds like a job for the torque test channel.

Lead acid batteries seem to be less and less reliable lately. The warranties are shorter and shorter as well, which is the best supporting evidence I have beyond needing batteries more often for the 4-5 vehicles I maintain.

At least the charging network. We can buy it off Tesla no problem (we already have them a $17 million down payment).

Then start printing up new stickers to cover the Tesla logos.

I don’t even own an EV and I support funding this. It’s probably cheaper than the existing charger network plan anyway and would allow actually standardizing around the smaller smarter Tesla plugs too.

I could imagine them letting AI (or offshore workers) manage everything, and keeping the managers around with chatbots reporting in to the managers, so they wouldn’t know they were being replaced.

And not being a raging narcissist. But then he wouldn’t be a billionaire, so it would be a win win.

It’s probably more expensive, but I think Switzerland is a better choice for that.

Plus there are lots of other countries in that area with historical ancient art and monuments.

The Taliban fucking blew all that stuff up so they could pray in huts with dirt floors.

Now that they’re stuck in cubicles, suddenly they want free tourist money?

Or with all holes tightly sealed.
