They're not, its just that decent electric drive trains are kinda expensive. Old 4 cylinder engines with simple transmissions are actually pretty cheap to manufacture in comparison. There are some that work fine (Mini Cooper Se for example), but they usually have a fairly short range of under 100 miles.

OK, thanks for the answer, it been bugging me for a bit and I couldn't definitively answer it. I've heard the argument that something hydrolysis would result in fresh water being decreased, good to know my first feeling (that that argument was bs) is true.

Out of curiosity, would you end up with the same resultant amount of water before and after hydrolysis? I'm aware some energy would be lost, but would hydrolysis actually decrease the amount of water? (sorry if this a dumb question, but I haven't actually seen it explicitly answered before)

That if you know how to code, you understand how computers work and understand really complicated math concepts.

I mean, they often do. But if the rents too damn high and you don't get paid enough, there isn't much that knowing how to budget is going to help with.

I was gonna recommend a newer mazda (newer than 2014) as it is often best for the money from what I've seen lately, but if you are in the subcompact market, Crosstreks are pretty hard to beat. Been reviewing the market as well to maybe get a newer car in a year or so I've looked a reviews on a lot of drivetrains. I've heard of some issues with older crosstreks (mostly just issues with oil consumption, and some CVT fears), although if you are getting new/very slightly used they probably would be great choice (probably better with the 2.5l engine). I am a bit biased as my mother used to have a outback with an EJ engine (those would reliably blow a headgasket, or two in her case), which probably has tarnished my view of boxer engines for long term reliability, which is why I generally don't recommend them.

Even if they got an immobilizer, people might still try to break into them given their reputation for being easily stolen. At the very least, they'd have to worry about broken windows and messed up steering column stuff. It's probably a decent idea to sell and move on if they can afford to, although I'd personally go with another brand than Subaru.

It can be, but I think the song is more meant to be a wake up call to anyone in that situation. It took me a long time to realize it, but kinda is what makes me occasionally come back to it. Would heavily recommend the Emergency and Me album, kinda stands the test of time.

Spider in the snow by Dismemberment Plan. It's a song about not really getting close to anyone and watching your life go by. Why? Because I probably have seen myself in it a few times in my life.

While I'm all for descheduling psilocybin (and decriminalizing it as well), it should be noted that this was a very small sample size study (15 people) and I've heard anecdotal warnings to not take shrooms if bipolar or schizophrenic for years, as there might be a slight risk of psychosis.

A lot don't have immobilizers (the thing that locks the steering wheel) and you don't need even need to hot wire, just rip out the guard under the steering wheel and put a USB plug in and turn (the plug fits the hole). It's pretty bad, and it became more known after TikTok started sharing how easy it was to do.

Mini Cooper se. ~3000lb, technically a 4 seater hatchback, 180hp, 100 mile range. Usually around $20k for a couple of years old. Actually considered it, but unfortunately I probably won't have access to a place to charge over night for the foreseeable future.
