What are your house parties like.

Not sure I understand the problem. Turn the lease back in and buy/lease what you want. The two don’t need to be tied together.

A comment like that should get her on a stand, under oath.

The comments are not what I’d be worried about.

Won’t a lease have the buyout structure built in? That’s the selling point, the total ownership costs are known at the time of purchase.

You can buy the car and sell it yourself if you’re not getting a good deal, but the “vehicle as a subscription service” aspect of leasing is to avoid that hassle.

Going from a 1-2 year old car to a 10-30 year old car is going to be awful.

Dumb.

Deportation ranch sounds a little better than concentration camp.

I’d support a regulation that defines either an expiration date or commitment to open source at the time the hardware is sold.

How? Chrome is mostly chromium. They don’t sell Chrome, it’s free and they contribute to the project for free.

This is how you end up with genderless bathrooms.

MANA.

I propose we swap and only work 2 days a week.

Has science gone too far?

I think we just haven’t seen the EVs hit the point where they are plentiful enough to be viable as 2nd hand vehicles that need innovative repairs.

It won’t be too long before we see current EVs stripped of their components and patched back together. Ford and others already offer their motors and control systems for purchase separately, so we know those components don’t require phone-home connectivity. It’s just a matter of piecing the parts together either homebrew or retrofitted to existing chassis that have been stripped and reassembled.

But you can’t. You need something to properly modulate the brake bias. You need something to translate the throttle to the motor. You need something to control the abs, stability control, etc.

Then, for cost savings, you need 1-2 simple screens to display information.

Bespoke retro/analog EVs will exist but they won’t be cheap because size they won’t sell well.

I’m fine with self-flying cargo planes with no human passengers flying over uninhabited areas besides landing/takeoff.

All the top posts here are people saying it won’t happen.

I was at the store over the weekend and saw a full display of chromebooks. Someone purchased one right in front of me.

I’m sure there’s a market for both technologies to exist at the same time.

While you are right, the airline industry has known about this for a while and did nothing.

Intel fell behind on servers? Source?
