I just bought a used 2021 Hyundai Kona EV, low mileage, for a great price (US$22K). The major factor in the choice was it has nearly all physical buttons and rotary controls.
Very happy so far, range in the city is about 500km (300Miles) and long term average consumption is 11.8kwh/100km (6miles per kwh). Battery at 50,00km has no detectable deterioration.
Being retired, nearly all of my trips are no more than 4-5 miles, a use case modern ICE engines do not like at all.
Still got a turbo MX5 for fun drives!

A few fine examples out of literal thousands of his sharpness, energy and persistance.
“Think of it, magnets,” Trump said at a January 2024 rally in Mason City, Iowa. “Now all I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets.”
“First they say, ‘Sir, how do you do it? How do you wake up in the morning and put on your pants?’” Trump mused. “And I say, ‘Well, I don’t think about it too much.’ I don’t want to think about it because if I think about it too much maybe I won’t want to do it, but I love it because we’re going to do something for this country that’s never been done before.”
“So many mistakes were made” ahead of the Civil War, Trump said. “See, there was something I think could have been negotiated, to be honest with you. I think you could have negotiated that. All the people died. So many people died.”
Trump went on to suggest that concerns about his legacy might have prevented Lincoln from embracing the lessons of The Art of the Deal.
“Abraham Lincoln, of course, if he negotiated it, you probably wouldn’t even know who Abraham Lincoln was,” Trump said. “He would’ve been president, but he would’ve been president, and he would have been — he wouldn’t have been the Abraham Lincoln.”
I don’t need anybody’s money. It’s nice. I don’t need anybody’s money. I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists. I’m not using donors. I don’t care. I’m really rich, I’ll show you that in a second. And by the way, I’m not even saying that in a braggadocios that’s the kind that’s the kind of thinking you need for this country.”

Of course VNE is reduced in rough conditions to rough air max speed, referred to by real pilots as Va max speed for full control movement and Vb. Max gust speed. its written on every aircrafts speed placard. I never mentioned need for power, where did that come in to your fever dream.
I didnt say it prevents you from driving, it simply reduces your situational awareness, which is never a good thing.
After your stunning display of ignorance, I doubt you have any flying experience at all, you dont use correct terminology and spout irrelevancies. That you then agree with the point of my original post by saying “ Or you should have a car which minimizes instrument scans” which cruise control does as I said in my original post is revealing of your poor reading comprehension.

Pilot here to, Of course you scan the instruments once every 5 minutes, but car drivers do it far too often, as they have to obey changing speed limits, and can be fined for exceeding them. Ever been pulled over by the FAA for speeding?
You adjust bank and aoa for a headwind? Do you really fly or are you just making shit up? Perhaps incredibly poorly trained. Good luch flying IMC and looking at the AH every 5 minutes, ever been under the hood ?
Its from pilot training that the refocussing time facts come. It takes between 1-1.5 sec to fully refocus your eyes to distance, thats just medical fact, look it up.

Cruise control enables you to pay more attention to your surroundings not less, regularly looking at the speedo, each time requiring your eyes to refocus on the road reduces your situational awareness, a principle pilots are trained on.

In other words, you cant adapt to adaptive cruise? Cruise or not I always take control well before I catch up with a car of truck in front iI am closing with because I am paying attention.
Seems like a you problem.

Its simpler than that. When a band records their first album, they have had their whole life up to that point to write it, or the ideas that become the songs. Any second album is inevitably derivative of that original style, but with much less preparation time.

I forget how backwards the US is, assisted dying and DNR have been operating in some countries for years without the legal issues you mention. People are more likely to be sued for ignoring an DNR.
The price you pay for living in Retardistan I suppose.

No, the morons in most states sold off the electricity assets years ago, promising cheaper power, gas and water. Of course that was always a lie, we now have much higher costs, and much worse service.

Feed in tarrifs have not stopped in Australia, though they are lower than they were. I currently get 8c/kwh.

The GPSDO I use to clock my frequency counter is incredibly accurate, .1 hz at 30 mhz much more so then the inbuilt OCXO standard in professional test gear.
GPS with poor time accuracy would be hopeless.
