It really does read like an ad, which is amusingly ironic since linux mint is free.

I personally disagree, Bard feels very uninspired, and copilot i associate too mich with flying, and also sounds more competent than it is.

ChatGPT is probably not the best name, but at least it’s unique.

Calling light electric seems redundant. Its like saying electric electromangantic radiation.

I’m not ignorant of rural life, I’ve lived in rural areas, suburbs, and visiting cities a lot.

There are a lot of reasons why american cities suck, high crime, decrepit buildings, not unique to cities either.

Enjoy your life, and be safe. Try not to put others in danger.

I don’t know why I care so much, but someone in my area died in a car accident a few months ago. I didn’t know her, but i was very close at the time it happened.

A drunk driver hit them and everyone blames them alone, and yeah its their fault. But the road leading up to it is too easy to go fast leading into a shopping center. I don’t want to live a culture that just accepts car deaths. I want the county and government to fix unsafe roads. And I’d like something to be done to stop the arms race between cars on the road, in the end your not that much safer, while people outside the car die in greater numbers.

I’m sorry that the area you live in has decided that transportation can carry a serious risk of death. Roads can be desinged in a safer manner, even when people are drunk.

Transit options are workable even in rural areas when designed correctly.

Well I bike to work, so take that how you will.

Personally I’d rather advacote for safer roads for everyone, and transit options that doesn’t turn into an arms race, like buses, trains and biking where possible.

Also get hit by a semi, tell me how you win that arms race.

I hate it cause its lethal, wasteful, and stupid.

How so? Is it because they’re switching to electric vs hydraulic?

What’s so mind boggling stupid to me is that full evs are mechanically so much simpler.

Their reliability should be fantastic.

But no oems cheap out on things like contactors in the battery.

Batteries should also be treated as consumable. Easily replaceable, maybe even in parts.

Electric motors seem like they should last forever too.

But nope, instead we get skimped cars with too big batteries, and seemingly no money spent anywhere else.

Manufacturers need to remember that planned obselesence only works when you know what your doing, and right now they early don’t.
