Just wanna say I appreciate the leniency from the mods. I find this an interesting take and topic. Thanks for letting it stand!

Mostly as a heads up, looks like FelixCress's messages were removed by mod. Can you share more context in what those were about?
Not that this is a means of discourse, but there's a newsletter I've gotten a lot of value from: Tangle.
The whole idea is to give a "facts first" assessment of the news topic of the day, followed by what prominent voices from the left and right are saying about it, followed by an editor's take (usual guy has his biases, but I've always found his take sensible, even when i disagree with it). Its pretty US centric, but when they cover international news, they tend to include a section for international takes too.
They do a free daily newsletter and podcast Mon - Thurs, then a premium only letter on Fridays and Sundays. The Fri/Sun ones are mostly interviews.
Was going to be skeptical about an obscure distro, but I see they are currently #2 on Distrowatch. Can't believe I've never heard of it before.
Appreciate the recommendation, I'll def look into it!
When my win 10 gaming box EOLs this fall, I'm probably going to jump it straight to arch, since it looks like the most straightforward way to build a Steam OS like system.
What about reusing the bag clip plus the twist and tuck method?
Thank you for this. I need more people to be on board with this explanation.
And what was the gold backed by?
Me too. That's comparable to my dad's old 4 cylinder Toyota Pickup (mid-80's, so similar era). Smaller engine and wayyyy less power so I would've expected the pickup to get worse than the Delorean.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but I'd love to take that as a project vehicle.
Batteries for home setup (on TOU plan, so it'd be nice to charge when rates are low and discharge when high).
Then slap an combustion engine in there that just acts as a power plant for the electric motors. It'd probably be biting off more than I can chew, but it sounds like a hell of a learning opportunity and tickles my engineering/tinker brain's fancy.
Of course, after blowing something up, I'd probably focus on dissecting the drive train and using them motors for something else. I'm suddenly curious what the suspension set up is like. If they've got some crazy high tech mag-ride system, I'll bet that could be repurposed for another vehicle (pending Tesla proprietary protocols for connecting to ECU).
But now I'm rambling. The thoughts of what I could do with those parts though.
Ninjaedit: just took a look as some of the pondering above. I forgot how silly the interiors look, so def wouldn't bother with attempting it as a project car.
As overused as I think the saying has become, I def agree its important to occasionally go out and touch grass some times.
