It has virtually nothing to do with emissions (as if it did, they would just hook up a sniffer to test and be fine)- instead there are blanket bans on any modification not from Edelbrock or a s couple others unless those companies pay exorbitant fees to be "CARB-approved" which has snuffed out innovation from smaller machine shops. And the loopholes are what has driven cars to be bigger and not more fuel efficient

You described most CA laws - don't get me started on CARB and how is just pushing us toward bigger, less efficient cars while killing innovation by smaller engineering shops

As someone with an Audi that will adjust your cruise control automatically based on speed limit (or rather what it thinks the speed limit is) I couldn't be more against this. I had to disable the feature after multiple times where it thought I was on some 15mph ramp rather than the freeway and slammed on the brakes in the middle of traffic going 70mph.

You're going to have to use an external service for email perhaps connected to something like Postfix or just using the email provider's API - something else to think of if you just need something on your phone as a message / reminder is to use KDE Connect like in this tutorial https://doronbehar.com/articles/using-kdeconnect-to-comfortably-send-sms-messages-from-the-shell/

I wouldn't say no one is paying attention. Rather, we learned that 40% of the country agrees with that language and actively wants a violent dictator

Got lucky as an early investor in crypto which has allowed me to feel more secure in taking on debt to purchase a home

I'll have to give this a shot. Hyperbolic space is such an interesting mechanic, I really enjoyed Hyperbolica

If you're going to be put to death, this is absolutely how you'd want to go. This may buy a little time but the alternatives are what is truly cruel and unusual

We'll see how the Saudis feel about him pissing away their money. Gonna be taking that Tesla stock from him
