This is basically what I'm saying -- you need consensus on the standards of evidence and the procedures for accepting evidence. Not just "argue whatever with no standards and see what sticks". The axioms are not chosen just o

You can make sub-optimal combinations, but D&D is a team game. If you build a Barbarian that can't deal damage, or a Wizard who's spells never land, you're letting the rest of your team down. > The rules should not pro

An experienced DM can of course let their players create whatever character they want, but a less experienced DM might be concerned about balance/fairness/implications of bending the rules. By creating an alternative, flexible rul

One thing I like about the new rules: they let users create their own unique species/class combinations, without feeling like the game's rules are limiting you. For example, a Barbarian gnome or Half-orc wizard can be fun choices

Even if everyone does, you'll need enough cars to meet peak demand (which is a lot, especially with a 2 seater model). Where do those cars go to charge outside peak demand?

I think there's a Valuation vs Expenses error here. Your interpretation compares market cap, which is a valuation, to the $700B per year that Sam is saying he'd need to spend. Over 700B is 3% of US GDP. It is also 2.5x Apples OpEx

Another way of putting it -- To drive 50,000 miles, a Ford F150 or similar has to consume ~8,500 kgs of gasoline: > 50,000 miles / 20 mpg * (3.4 kg/gal) The Cybertruck Battery weighs ~1,400 kgs, and probably lasts at least 100K
