Some people don't need a car but will buy one anyway, not sure what point you're making there. I see no problem in people buying what they want over what they need. Choice is good and if you want to spend more on a vehicle for any reason, that's OK.

Buses, dump trucks, ambulances, 18 wheelers, tow trucks etc. are all heavy and dangerous. The focus should be on better designed roads and better driver training, not limiting what people can drive.

Shitty touch UI? I see you've never used one before. The response is amazing.

Way to go Sherlock. You cracked the case.

My guess is to give a better experience looking for things while driving. Like restaurants, current movies in theaters etc. Just like how everyone uses ChatGPT vs. Google. Not sure if I'll use it frankly but I'll see when I get it.

At the end of the day, none of that’s legitimate, it’s just an excuse to buy the car you prefer.

Since when is buying what we prefer considered negative? Calling it an excuse seems short-sighted.

The percentage seemed arbitrary and it being retroactive seemed excessive and unnecessary. We depend on US content so much you couldn't possibly function on the internet without it. It'll force the US to limit services so we'll be forced to use Chinese or European services and for what benefit? I use an adblocker and pirate most my stuff so no one is making money off me.

I always thought he DST was stupid so to me this is nothing more than placating Trump.

Everything is a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works

It's actually difficult. You can set a budget so AWS will alert you when you hit it.

They have a price calculator that'll calculate costs before you do anything.

Inbound Internet is free. Only outboard costs you anything.

Network transfers between VPC's using private links are free.

AWS accounts are free.

Lambda functions are ultra cheap as you only pay for the time you use it.

S3 is object storage with 11 9's of uptime and it's cheaper than any enterprise NAS.

Basically you'd have to setup something wrong and ignore it for weeks to incur a large bill.

Until someone sends you a voice to text message. Like fuck that.

Perhaps we should work with FN instead of trying to ram through projects without them? That's what Harper did and what Poilievre would do. My company has built pipelines with FN approval and it's gone very smoothly.

2024 Tesla Model S Long Range. Love the 600km range in summer. Love the Supercharger network and how the computer in the car knows where they are and includes it in my trip planner. Superchargers themselves don't ask for payment, you just plug in and everything works. Love the power and how silent it is. Love how cheap it is to maintain and operate. I honestly don't mind the touchscreen. It's super fast (Ryzen CPU) and once you get used to it, you barely need to use it while driving. Charging at home is super easy and cheap. I only ever visit a gas station for car washes and it's a great feeling to never have to worry about fueling up.

The only downside is the up-front cost for the car and for a home charger. Yes, Elon is another downside but I've heard that Tesla is looking for a new CEO and he only owns 12% of Tesla stock so much less important than people give him credit for.

If not going with Tesla, I would have chosen a Polestar or a Rivian but I've not driven either because there are no local service centers here which affected my decision.
