There are upsides for most of the oligarchs, until there aren’t.

Regret is a good alternate name for Twitter, especially since Musk.

Sorry about the yellow, I just used what Google gave me, not very familiar with trends settings or api.

Surprisingly, Tweet never went that high.

Twitter might have, but I didn’t bother.

Followed by “this is the quickest way to clear out stuck poop” ad. Good one YouTube.

I hear you, but Subaru/Toyota EVs aren’t really that great (especially in the styling department). But we’re taking about the 80-100K budget of a cybertruck, and choosing it based on aesthetics. This is what I’d do. As mentioned elsewhere, the Ionic 5 is a good alternative as well.

Also I’ve restored 3 and a bit 60s-80s cars now, and want to do an EV or Hybrid conversion for my next project. Since I already own a base vehicle, my DIY budget is about 20k depending on how much life is left in whatever donor car’s batteries I find. But I’m not normal, I can do all the fabrication and wiring needed.

That was going to be my next suggestion, good call. I do like it, but wish they’d make a similarly styled sporty car version.

Yeah I hear you, it’s a hang up with me as well. Driving one is a lot like riding a bike or motorcycle, it makes me hyper focused and cautious, especially during merges and stop and go traffic.

Having a decent EV setup would at least make it capable of accelerating and keeping up with modern traffic. Which, speaking from experience, would help, but not eliminate the treat by any means.

I stopped bike commuting after moving to a more rural area where lack of bike lanes, brodozers, frauhauspanzers, and cellphone distractions have made it too risky.

Forgot the Japanese and Korean stuff.

AW11 MR2, Celica/Supra and Hyundai Pony too.

Even the popup headlight era Accords and Preludes.

Most of those cars rotted away where I live and I haven’t seen one in at least 10 years though.

The remaining 75,000 should get you a pretty nice conversion. Fitting the batteries without completely ruining the handling and storage in the conversion does present a big challenge.

But there are an increasing number of shops on both sides of the Atlantic that are offering conversions.

With the Squareback hatch replacement for extra points.

As much as any one can buy a Cybertruck for $80k, yeah.

You can get an 80s car with a dead motor for less than 1/10th a cybertruck

Then go buy an 80s car with an actual good angular design and convert it to electric.

Some similar aesthetic options:

• VW Scirocco or early Golf/Rabbit
• Early Lotus Esprit
• Delorean
• Fiat X1
• Triumph TR7
• 80s Alfa Romeos
• 80s Lancias (Beta, or Delta for instance)
• anything from the late 60s to late 80s designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro

They are angular wedge designs, but done with care and thought to manufacturing, some safety (at least from sharp edges), and almost all of them are aesthetically pleasing.

What do you mean by “what”?

Oh wait I was thinking of that Canadian crybaby’s debate tactic.

Depends on how involved their mother is in the crazy movement.

At least one of the other Toiletpaper guys (Matt Walsh, or the change my mind guy maybe?) was treating his wife so badly that she left him and posted the surveillance videos of his dickhead behavior.

Since when have we had deadlines to do that?

Portal gun?

Just be mindful of where the exit is.

Maybe being able to reverse that damage will reveal if that is a cause, or maybe it will eliminate if as a cause. Both would be important steps toward treating it. Inconclusive results would be depressing though, yes.

Yeah and the make a mess of network traffic that slows everything down.

Sludgers works too, but I like slop for the LLM output, so it makes sense as the bot term of derision.

The dust ejector would be pointed mostly into this bucket so the blood would too. Until you ran off waving your new stump around anyway.

I think it’s a racist trope on food prep standards more than spices. Same with not drinking the water in Mexico.
