Or just go to UHaul, rent a truck or van for $20, then return it.

We just went over this last night!
In any case, it'd be ideal if they produced a 2-seater sedan with long range.
The maximal use case! That's a good way of thinking about it!
I'm struggling with my SO to buy a reasonable house in a high cost of living area. They want a massive 2000 Sq ft monstrosity because we plan to have a kid soon, and I'm thinking 1500 is more than enough. They're reasoning it's we need space for each other and entertaining. My reasoning is I want to eat out at the nearby fantastic restaurants nearby more often and buy cheese and wine and stuff.
Maybe it's my interest in economics, but American life is so expensive in part because Americans are willing to spend a shit ton of money because they think they're supposed to. It's like we're all enamored with the idea that bigger and more is better just because someone said so. And then we complain about things being unaffordable like corporations aren't trying to fleece us for all we're worth.
People using lighter vehicles....
Where'd you go? Can my family come too?
By its modern definition, the Heritage Foundation is one big fallacy. No one should trust anything they say.
Lol is his lying ass ready to go to war?
Betty Brussel took up competitive swimming at in her mid-sixties. Now 99, she’s won hundreds of medals - and just broke three world records in her age group.
For everybody thinking it's too late, shut the hell up and get to work on your dreams!
I'd argue no.
The problem of a democracy is that it's largely unsatisfactory across the board. At most, you'll get most of what you want, but that little bit you didn't get can be the basis of radicalization. If we'd just been a bit more demand, less willing to compromise, we could've gotten it all! And when you get less that most of what you want, the population is left with even greater feelings of disappointment in their political leaders. Free speech will be used to exploit these vulnerabilities. Free speech can also alleviate the pressure of these vulnerabilities on democracy.
In contrast, a dictatorship basically demands people act like the decrees of the dictator are everything they want. Only uncritical speech survives in the open, while the critical speech is underground. It is much more demanding on a critical individual than democracy, because their public life must support the dictatorship, while their private life is filled of thoughts that oppose the public. And it's not like they're safe sharing their critical thoughts either, it's always a potential avenue of self-destruction, both of the individual and of the dictatorship. As such, critical thoughts in a dictatorship must be policed strictly, invading personal privacy short of literally digging around in people's heads, to ensure and reassure the ruling power that all is well.
That's a pretty compelling argument for going for a mid-range build. I'll definitely consider it.
Also, I have a 2 TB nvme currently that I'll just reuse.
