.... Okay no really, who ever in their right mind considered us a "liberal democracy"?

Calm down there, Shiro Ishii.
This is my only issue with having three dogs.
I only have two hands.
So if I come home and they all want attention, I have to split pets between all of them in short intervals or they start pushing each other (and me) around trying to get attention. Or rather, the biggest one pushes in and the smaller two have to climb over themselves to get to my other hand.
This post was good enough to kick me off my phone for the night. I just woke up after about 3 hours and only meant to pull my phone out to turn the audiobook back on, and instead started scrolling.
So thanks for the reminder I should be sleeping!
Hell yeah. I've actually used the S10 as an example of the max size I want a truck to be. Stretch the cab forward to the unnecessary engine bay and make it a crew cab with no nose.
At this point I'd take a modern truck if it was offered, but I'd be looking to trade for something smaller immediately. Modern trucks are just too grossly oversized, and I, as an adult, often can barely see over the hood of modern trucks. And tons of trucks around here have lift kits installed, making them even less safe for pedestrians
my child.

Honestly I just want to see the first two in imax since I missed the opportunity when they had their original runs.
A theater about an hour away had a special showing of part 1 running with the first week of part 2's debut. So you could go see part 1 and go to the next hall to see part 2 immediately after. I'm hoping they do something similar so I can watch all 3 in a couple weekends, but I'm not holding my breath.
That is crazy to me.
I hate driving in general, but will typically be okay with nearly doubling my travel time (up to like an hour) if it means I am in constant motion. So I'll happily take small side streets and drive two small towns over and avoid a highway on the off chance that there's a traffic jam. Some highways are almost guaranteed to be at a standstill at certain times anyway, but surprise stoppages always seems like a given when my wife and I travel more than a few hours from home.
It doesn't seem like that's an option to drive on non-highways, from the translation post, sadly. Fingers crossed they get the public transit sorted next year, and improve it for 2029. That sounds like a bad time for everyone.
I heard about them a few weeks back, messed around on their site building a couple different trucks, from the one I would actually buy, to the one I'd get if I had all the money and time to go out to the middle of nowhere for a week long camping trip.
It's neat!
I've been wanting an EV since the day I got my license at 27ish. Up to then I had been cycling everywhere, and didn't really need long distance or cargo capacity beyond what I could carry in a pack and saddlebags.
Ideally I wouldn't need a car, and public transit would provide the majority of non-bike travel, but that's not the country I live in. We'd rather elect officials that dump money into fossil fuels.
Currently I need a small form electric truck with at least 2ft of ground clearance and preferably no giant nose on the front that small children can hide behind, with at least 100mi of travel on one charge and the ability to go 300mi in one day with full size charging stations.
Of course like many people, my biggest hurdle isn't finding one that I like, it's finding one that is even remotely affordable. And assuring me the used market of shitty half-dead cars that will require many thousands more in mechanic costs due to the simple fact that if something breaks on it, I can't fix it as simply as a gasoline engine vehicle.
3/4 of Americans can't even afford an EV.
I mean, you're the weirdo accepting random liquids from someone.
