You should really think about changing out the engine and cabin air filters. And spark plugs. And unless you are driving 50,000 miles per year, I can't imagine the battery is going to last too much longer.

Something classy like a Beretta 92 series? https://www.beretta.com/en-us/product/92x-performance-defens... ...or something more retro-futuristic like an FN-90 to match the vibe of a self-driving EV? https:/&

>I mean we had flame wars on USENET but somehow it feels to me that most discourse even on controversial topics was civil. I think this is probably a combination of nostalgia and/or USENET prior to 1990 or so?

- Risk mitigation. Even if you are 90% sure that things will go up and to the right, it still might make sense to cash out a bit as insurance. Especially if you aren't giving up any control - Buying allies. If you make a lot of othe

Relativity is not about approximating the speed of light. So yes, probably a distracting stretch. YMMV.

Is there a way to quantify how much more of a fire risk California is compared to say Utah (which looks to have about the 4th lowest electric rates (and an abundance of conifers)).

I don't follow this scene. Have they effectively reverse engineered most of Apple hardware? So everything just works? Or is it more like, "hey it boots! and we hope to get networking operational next". I'm kind of sur
