I mean, they often do. But if the rents too damn high and you don’t get paid enough, there isn’t much that knowing how to budget is going to help with.

I was gonna recommend a newer mazda (newer than 2014) as it is often best for the money from what I’ve seen lately, but if you are in the subcompact market, Crosstreks are pretty hard to beat. Been reviewing the market as well to maybe get a newer car in a year or so I’ve looked a reviews on a lot of drivetrains. I’ve heard of some issues with older crosstreks (mostly just issues with oil consumption, and some CVT fears), although if you are getting new/very slightly used they probably would be great choice (probably better with the 2.5l engine). I am a bit biased as my mother used to have a outback with an EJ engine (those would reliably blow a headgasket, or two in her case), which probably has tarnished my view of boxer engines for long term reliability, which is why I generally don’t recommend them.

Even if they got an immobilizer, people might still try to break into them given their reputation for being easily stolen. At the very least, they’d have to worry about broken windows and messed up steering column stuff. It’s probably a decent idea to sell and move on if they can afford to, although I’d personally go with another brand than Subaru.

It can be, but I think the song is more meant to be a wake up call to anyone in that situation. It took me a long time to realize it, but kinda is what makes me occasionally come back to it. Would heavily recommend the Emergency and Me album, kinda stands the test of time.

Spider in the snow by Dismemberment Plan. It’s a song about not really getting close to anyone and watching your life go by. Why? Because I probably have seen myself in it a few times in my life.

Not disagreeing, but I live in the US and even if that became a focus of the government, it would take a decade or two to actually get most of the rail necessary.

That’s more medium duty, and yeah, that probably could be converted to electric fairly easily (albeit at a higher cost). I was mostly thinking about longer distance travel, where the main goal is the most amount of uptime and you can’t afford to park and charge for 3-4 hrs every 200 miles. And that is usually the most expensive model, with most getting less milage and/or taking longer to charge.

Then what about trucking? Lithium is not nearly as energy dense, weighs a lot, and does take a significant longer time to charge than a diesel to refuel. If you don’t believe me, look up the eCascadia by Frightliner. They are probably the current best option if you wanted a heavy electric truck, but they only get to around 200 miles with a load (for reference, a standard turbo diesel one would go around 600-800 miles and only take 30 min to refuel).

Currently in trucking, I’ve found that everyone kinda laughs at the idea of electrification (except on medium duty, that wouldn’t be too hard, just overly expensive). Current electric motors are fine, it’s just that the energy storage is nowhere near what is needed for actual use.

Yes, for most basic ev consumers current lithium is fine from a usability perspective, but from a cost one this might provide a much more useful alternative (assuming the cost isn’t insane).

About once every other week on my phone, multiple times a week on my ipad (pro 10.5). It’s more that I have a Bluetooth dac for some 30ohm headphones I regularly use, as my phone had more difficulty driving it at usable volume without going all the way up and getting the “you’re hurting your ears!” warning.
