For reference, that was the year Vista came out with a minimum memory of 512MB, with 1GB suggested.

We had a lot of weird all at once.

Lots of death and isolation. Economy all screwed up with a flood of cash to try to keep things level. Trump's sore loser behavior validated just the worst behavior (it is always there, but usually leaders moderates it when it rears its ugly head, Trump fanned the flames instead). Putin continued his aggression against Ukraine, except this time Ukraine held its ground.

Every big event didn't require COVID, just a bunch of long burning issues bubbling up at once.

.... I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Allow me to introduce the incels.

Hard to get that experience when no one wants to be around you at all, let alone naked.

For example, everyone knew the gallows were for Mike pence, but that doesn't mean that Mike pence was doing the wrong thing... In that occasion....

"resounding success" but given up as a bad idea.

The fact that it could possibly "work" was not really in question, it was whether it would be worth the costs and drawbacks. It was not.

But either way you are right, space even worse than water with no benefit compared to ocean.

Question is to cover rural communities as-is, do you and up practically replacing every car on the road with a bus? Bus is generally only better if you have significantly fewer of them to scale.

If you didn't pay for roads, but you wanted public transit, I don't see how that works.

There's plenty of room to improve cities without having to bemoan that rural people are living wrong. About the only place I could see is making rural people switch over to intra-city transit instead of trying to have the cars wiork to get within a block of any given destination. That's probably about as far I think to inconvenience rural people to meaningfully improve things.

Mass transit is only efficient if you have a density of people going the same way at the same time. A bus is only better when you have significant occupancy, and that's not going to happen in very low density living.

You have to remember that the current investment level assumes that somehow everyone is going to use the AI stuff that much. It won't do if the only heavy usage is code generation.

Yeah, but my towing is like 95% less than 25 miles. I'll probably rent a more credible truck if I should ever need to tow more than my vehicles can handle. Or else take the hit and suffer the delay of a commercial charging station or two along the way (and the aggravation of having to unhook and rehook the trailer, but that's not too bad. Only was ever annoying trying to back up to a trailer that you can't move the toung by hand and we didn't have cameras.

Yeah, I guess when they started mainstreaming crew cabs their market took off and was much more profitable to chase that, with concessions for traditional cabs only for overly long beds.

At least judging from the internet, don't think the market is all that tiny, people have been lamenting the loss of the old S10 and Ranger and such ever since the Colorado and new Ranger launched.

But it looks like Slate believes in that market, but everyone else seems to think that a small truck must have a crew cab. That everyone that needs a 'real bed' won't mind a full size truck.

Heh, certainly the tone of their material is toward "pavement princess" usage, but a hair dryer does pull just about as much current as you could expect from a standard outlet, more than many power tools, more than some microwaves. Sure, if they showed a higher end electric welder than that would be more impressive, but no way are they going to take things that far.

It it can power a hair dryer, it could power a circular saw. Whether it would be suitable to get to work sites that demand a bit more off-road capability... I'm guessing no.

I can't blame them too much, they went with the 'F150 for your professional needs, just electric' and it didn't ultimately pan out that well. So they are going more city truck.
