Your battery take won’t come to fruition any time soon in the consumer market. Commercial trucking and such I can see, but consumers value interior space and standardizing a battery limits what you can do with the interior. Automakers would never pigeonhole themselves like that. Look at the cellphone and laptop market and their batteries.

That was in the 80s when everything was angular. Lamborghini kept that going while Ferrari trended toward pointed front bumpers, rolling curves, and a bigger back end. The quintessential Ferrari is the 2002 Enzo Ferrari and this borrows non of the design elements from that.

Don’t get me wrong, I actually don’t mind the design of the Ferrari Red Luce. The other colors look horrendous for some reason, but the red works for me. If I were nitpicking though, I think they could have slimmed down the chassis, gave the front end a bit more aggressive point, and reworked the back end to not look so flat. The designer is a former Apple guy and I think it shows. Purists would have wanted something bold to showcase a new era for Ferrari I think.

Perfect, I’ve got the Simon and Garfunkel Bridge Over Troubled Water album on vinyl. I’ll toss it on the turntable tonight while I’m getting caught up on laundry. Hope you and your dad can share a smile over that 🙂

What was your dad’s favorite song?

No, you’re thinking of Katie Morgan. Tracy Morgan is a professional female footballer.

My buddy is currently on his way to paying 32k for a 15k car

That might be the worst financing option I’ve heard in my life. 4000 down on a 15,000 loan would end up being about 12800 total on 5 years at 6%

Have you never heard of financing? I make $50,000 a year and bought a used EV. The only reason I was able to was because of rebates offered by IL-EPA. If not for the rebate, I’d still be driving an ICE vehicle and paying $50/wk on gasoline.

This may or may not help, but I went through the exact same sort of struggles that you did when I first started. Setting up all this was my first forray into Linux and learning about permissions and file systems was a hurdle but having conquered that my primary issues were always caused by one of the following:

• file path mapping
• permissions
• port routing in gluetun
• gluetun/mullvad incompatibilities

Now that I actually seem to have a handle on all this…mind you, I’m no expert, but I can walk people through it in plain english. I eventually ended up switching to Proton VPN and use cloudflare tunnels to access my services from outside the network.

Okay, gotcha. That I was aware of. Would not have shocked me if I missed that in all the gish gallop though

Wait, I’m American and must have missed this. They painted a fucking flag in the bottom of it?

Says who? Cause I sure as hell haven’t seen anyone in a position of power do a damn thing about it. I haven’t even heard of any leftist politicians hold feet to the fire about detainees that have disappeared. The best example we probably have of focused attention on one specific detainee is Kilmar Abrego Garcia and he wasn’t killed thankfully.

An overwhelming majority of the general public also liked Oppenheimer, so I think you may just be particularly hard to please.

I know what you’re saying, but being educated isn’t cheating!

Pretty much nailed it.

Pretty much on par with any evidence brought forth by anyone claiming election fraud in 2020. Except this time it’s funny.

Do you watch TV?

It’s only fair. I live in the surrounding area of a progressive town and have a MAGA trad wife with bowling pins for morals as my representative.

Why should they need to? You’re plenty capable #1 and #2 you were informed of the facts somehow. I’m sure you didn’t come to that conclusion by parsing raw data from consumer reports or the FTC.

Thanks for the reply. This is the first time someone has explained stock options so simply to me.

Can someone explain to me why it would be a bad idea to short the fuck out of this stock? I’d like to make money and be a principled human at the same time, but I’m not well versed in the stock market.
