People whose car died at the worst time (because my personal situation) but also at the best time (because of the Iran war / oil situation). We really needed a new car fast and before our old car really broke down we were looking at either a hybrid or EV version of a certain car. The attack on Iran and its ripple effects simply tipped the balance towards the EV. I knew this bs wasn’t going to go away in a few days but we were fast enough to get one for the price it was before the war. I was already really looking forward to driving oil-free, so I think it’s been a good decision. No debt either.

Yeah, and of course there’s a heap of European options but I don’t really know about the availability in Canada for those

True, they were far behind but Toyota has / will release 5 new EVs this year, Lexus another 3 and Suzuki has a few as well.

Not just Chinese. There are very good Korean and Japanese options and European carmakers are catching up as well. Teslas are just dog shit cars with shitty build quality

Yes, that’s why it won’t be a difference of 20c per gallon.

That’s just in the USA. This will affect doctors worldwide.

That being said, the work load on radiologists has been increasing year over year, so we need something to help take it off. In the UK it can sometimes take 3 months to get a report on a scan.

You will soon find that if this war goes on your gas prices will come close to California’s. If your local refinery can get 80c per gallon more in California they will ship it there.

Now: coming to the rest of the world.

How is it better than something like Vivaldi

It doesn’t really help that Americans can’t ride a bicycle for shit. Tourists on bikes are a major hazard, but so are tourists on foot in any city with dedicated space for bicycles. They just cross it and walk on it without watching or even a single thought. They just assume it’s part of the pavement.

Mate, I don’t want to be mean or give unsolicited advice, but I do want to help.

Your comment is well meant and I kind of get what you want to say, but it’s so hard to follow. It shows signs of incoherence and hyperassociativity. You’ve also written hundreds of lines of comments in the past few hours and they are all in a similar style. This might just be your style, but it is often a sign of schizophrenia, psychosis or mania.

I really hope you will talk to a doctor about this, or at least a family member or friend that you can confide in.

Ouch, my condolences to your wallet

This is good. It means that the efforts are working and Google is getting nervous. Let them get nervous and let’s give them a lot more to be nervous about.

Do something useful

What do you mean, that using ChatGPT for a recipe for eggs, sunny side up without any seasoning or toppings and burning up the electricity of a moderate household for a week with my query isn’t useful?
