For reference, for someone on SSI in the US, your asset limit is $2000.
And your monthly income is a maximum of $967.
Regardless of where you live.
So even conventionally cheap transit costs are a huge impact. More expensive = disabled people can't afford it and can't get around.

On the other hand, the increased distance between the control and the shower will increase latency in the response. It'll take longer to warm up and will be harder to get "just right" when your mixing doesn't affect you for a few seconds.

Don't forget! Battery locomotives! Ooooooooh!

I mean I guess technically, but there's not a ton of overlap in their coverage. The result of this would be a nation-spanning mega railroad from hell...

Perhaps the farms could pull harder on the light, making sure that some of it keeps going to them. Or - ooh! Use some of the electricity to power a bunch of huge lightbulbs to illuminate the farms which are condemned to eternal shadow.

Yep. If electricity is just free, how can they make money off it? And worse, it'll instantly outcompete everything else in power auctions. Won't someone think of the coal plant operators? Think how this will hurt them!

Machine guns? This sounds dangerous!

I use them with the Fiio BTR5 so I can use them wirelessly wherever. Or I can plug them into my PC for games. I use them with the 2.5 mm balanced output. You can use it without these, but this setup is great for my use case.

They do sell the HD6XX drop.com/buy/massdrop...
I have these, they're cheaper than the 600s but in my opinion quite nice (though I have not tried the 600s).

Overall making public transit better is a worthy investment. Making cars worse can be part of it, but we can and should improve transit (especially here in the US)

I don't have a study to back this up, but common sense would suggest that reducing air pollution could reduce how much heat is trapped. Particles will absorb a greater amount of the sunlight than air, and give that heat to the surrounding air.
Trees can help there too!

Something like that might also break toll readers or parking enforcement, so you may get more tickets there...
People have dark license plate covers that make it harder to read for police/speed cameras, but those are illegal in many places.

But these trains, man... They could be anywhere!

Flock also boasts about non-plate identifiers. So make, model, notable bumper stickers, scratches, dents... So in theory even removing your plate wouldn't prevent them from tracking you 💀

Priuses have had a rooftop solar panel as an option for a while. It used to be to run the fan or something. I think it's only the plug in ones now, it'll in theory charge the battery up if you leave it in the sun for a long time.
I don't have one but it doesn't seem that useful. Just not enough

We could all be going at 150* mph** in turbine-powered glory.
* Well, we're limited to 15 here because of the tracks, but-
** Oh, we're stuck behind a freight train and will be moving shortly.

NO WAY! I just got a genuine pre-Rift topal, from the Fifth Grand Colony! And for only 184.6 credits? Sure, it's been renatured, but it's still quite the find!

I like the separation between the top and bottom on the 850.

If so, where do we draw the line? Do automated metro systems count? Planes using an autopilot?
