Underestimate AI at your own peril.

Public transit is mostly at the city and state levels. Amtrak is the only exception I can think of.

I was checking out used 2023 EVs recently, and some models were in the low 20 kUSD range. Accounting for inflation, that’s less than I paid when I bought my used ICE car (17 kUSD) in 2014. The main detractor for me is that level 3 chargers degrade the batteries, and as a renter, I don’t have a place to charge at home. But if you own a home and can charge an EV there, there’s really no reason to buy an ICE car these days if you just want a commuter vehicle.

I’m a woman but I have never worn shoes like that and I never will

She’s out of control! Initiate the lockdown!

I think most mammals are digitigrades, right? Afaik the only plantigrades are humans and bears.

Oh nice, the wiki page you linked has a list. The other living plantigrade mammals are:

• Several primates (including humans and lemurs) Carnivora:
• Ursidae: bears (with the exception of the hemicyonines)
• Musteloidea: skunks, raccoons, weasels, badgers, otters, and red pandas
• Rodents: mice, rats, porcupines
• Hedgehogs
• Hyraxes
• Marsupialia: kangaroos, opossums

• Are you hot?
• Are you loyal to the One True God Donald J Trump?

Unfortunately, ICE does a lot of things other than being Trump’s personal paramilitary force. Either we can continue to fund it, but at a reduced level, or we need to replace it. Honestly we probably need to replace it at this point, because ICE has such a bad reputation that good people will be discouraged from taking a job there.
