Technically, no. People have been turned away for DUI’s from decades earlier. But, as the other reply said, Trumpitler has “immunity.”
- Comment on What were some movies you had to look up explanations of after watching? 1 year ago:
I don’t remember being confused. But it was definitely one of those movies where I had to sit for 15 minutes after the credits rolled and really process the emotional impact.

It’s almond juice. There’s only one kind of milk, and that’s moo cow fuck milk.

A facebook meme that isn’t nuclear waste level toxic dogshit? Either this is breaking my brain or I’m misinterpreting it.

My car just has an aftermarket head unit with BT. I just map my route on my phone and set it in a cubby.

Nah. Plan ahead, use your phone’s GPS with voice instructions.

There are likely a lot of complexities here.
Battery tech will need to improve greatly and be minimalized. EV batteries are currently massive, heavy, and generally engineered as long, wide, flat modules to be installed beneath the floor so they keep the center of gravity low and the vehicle balanced. That’s not really possible in an ICE vehicle with all the frame molding around existing exhaust and drivetrain components, and you most likely can’t just have some sort of modular battery and motor unit that you just drop into the engine bay, as that would put a ton (literally) of additional weight and mess with the balance.
The draintrain components may need to be replaced or the motor outputs modulated to prevent the torque from ripping it apart.
Power steering and brakes will need to converted to electric assist. AC and heat would need to converted to electric.
Older cars (early 00’s and older) with cable throttles will need to be retrofitted with drive-by-wire, or use some sort of adapter module that connects the cable and converts it to digital inputs. Same with brakes.
All of the electronics (lights, wipers, windows, locks, radio, etc.) will need to be rewired since there’s no longer an alternator.
Probably will need upgraded suspension and brakes to handle the extra weight.
There’s probably a lot more I’m not thinking about or not even aware of. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’s going to happen outside of rich enthusiast circles.

You sound like fun.

We seriously need strict regulations to reign in this bullshit.
Subscription anything needs be illegal unless it’s an active service being provided.
Screens should be flat out banned in cars. Fuck your infotainment and sale features, I don’t care. If we agree that phones too dangerous to use while driving (and they are), then a having a fucking tablet glued to the dash is literally different. Plus, we’re still in a global chip shortage, we should be conserving them for more important things.
Self driving features can fuck right off. It’s absolutely mind-boggling how these systems are allowed on public roads with zero regulatory oversight.
Most active safety features are bullshit workarounds for shitty design and engineering that create massive blindspots. They also create lazy, complacent drivers who become dependent on tech that subject to equipment and logic failures. Good visibility can’t just suddenly stop working.
Anything bigger than a sedan or station wagon should require a special license for industrial and ag use only. Fuck your compensation-mobiles, they’re literally killing us in more ways than one.
None of this will ever happen because we know who really owns our governments.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
- Comment on Hollywood strikes to cost US economy $5 billion-plus amid lost wages, film delays 1 year ago:
Incorrect. Hollywood bigwig blowhards who routinely cheat on their accounting and taxes like it’s breathing and treat the people who actually create your products like an underclass of garbage … that’s who cost the economy $5b.

- Comment on I'm over the Reddit posts / comments 1 year ago:
I’m mostly read-only with reddit via RSS on a few subs I follow. Fact is, reddit still had a massive user base with a lot of active niche discussions that lemmy just can’t replicate yet.

Why does it need to be native? There are numerous extensions that do this. That’s half the point of Firefox, it’s so extensible.

Fox Fire thingy
Oh god, I’m having Vietnam flashbacks
- Comment on Here we go again 1 year ago:
I don’t know, but who cares? What does anyone have against Firefox? It’s fast, has a massive extensions library, open source, secure, private … there’s literally no reason whatsoever not to use it.
