Sounds like a mute point. (Thankfully, Apple automatically put “moot” in there & I had to override it, so some education is happening)

Yeah, it’s fucked. The state representatives wouldn’t even remove the ban to try to entice Amazon to come to Indianapolis.
Their hate for metro areas is greater than their normal desire to bend over for big business.

It’s a both/and, not either/or.
Public transport is decades away from being reality in rural Indiana.
It’s actually illegal for Indianapolis & surrounding counties to build subways!
Fixing that takes massive political change in our state, which some of us are working on.
Meanwhile, cheap EVs pls?

Yeah, this is what Slate is attempting, and they’re in the under $30k range.
But they’re a new company, so perhaps a big one could get to $20k or under, but why would they undercut their profit margins on big ugly trucks & SUVs?

Thanks, that is something I’m working on.
I’ve done better when writing in longer form. Going to set a goal to write at least monthly starting next month, and shooting for weekly.
Will just put a link on sites like this, to avoid the missing context a short post allows.

It helps to remember that the 2-digit thing was a cost-saving measure.

They knew.
Management didn’t want to spend today’s money on tomorrow’s problem.
This same thing is happening right now, except it doesn’t have a hard deadline: IPv6.
Companies keep delaying deployment & costing billions in the long run, but it looks better on any given quarter.

My Chevrolet dealership reminded me when my EV needed an engine oil change for over a year after I bought it.
Manufacturers have a lot of legacy code in their systems that assumes EVs need the same things ICEs do.

Indianapolis? Nothing but potholes.
Some 2-lane road in the middle of nowhere? Perfectly smooth blacktop.
Funding roads by lane miles instead of actual traffic siphons money from the cities to the rural areas.

I’m a Hoosier Democrat, and while I agreed that changing the maps like this was wrong, I wasn’t going to interrupt my opponents as they made a mistake.
The proposed map was the best chance for Democrats to gain seats.

I, someone that lives in southern Indiana, apparently need to stop visiting friends and family that are too far to bike to & have no public transportation options.
Or, I need to convince everyone to live on a compound together.
That's ethically built, of course, on stolen land.

The only thing that makes sense to me is working on this to solve the heat issue you mention so there can be local processing near the moon or Mars.
Also testing long-term hardware durability & LCM.
Still, that would be a space agency thing, not a profit thing.

All I want from Apple Music now is for them to allow linking songs so whenever my random playlist decides to play "Waitin on the Bus", it ALWAYS plays "Jesus Just Left Chicago" right after it.
Same for so many songs that belong in pairs, and it's such a fixable thing.

Hoosier here. I’m convinced the only reason some Republican state senators have resisted this map is because they know it makes it easier for Democrats to have more than 2 seats.
Not EASY, the maps are drawn 9-0, but the chances of 5-4 are higher with this map than current.
