Literally no, read it again: OP

• Was asleep
• was woken by wife and
• took picture

Wife didn’t need to take the picture, she woke OP to take the picture

I disagree with you, but not because I’m a particular fan but because I think trucks are meant to do a job and not be any kind of showpiece or daily errand-runner. To me, a truck should be large and capable and only used when those capabilities are needed.

Honestly, the current consumer electric trucks are silly because their performance envelope is very small compared to their price. They are too expensive and heavy (in lithium and energy consumption) to make sense as a grocery getter and they are too limited to actually haul a real load or take a trailer camping.

I applaud the effort and I do think the F-150 is cool and represents solid progress in the state of the art, but I think the most efficient and environmental option is to keep a smaller efficient electric sedan for most routine driving and maintain an older large diesel truck for when it’s needed. No need to build new iron, there’s plenty of good trucks that can be kept on the road with TLC.

There are also industrial electric and hybrid (turbine-electric) trucks which are amazing, but we’re talking multi million dollar specialty vehicles.

I didn’t see that either until I read your comment!

The confusing part of the synopsis is how they awkwardly cut it at "no tools"and went on to list “or set of tools that is supplied with the product or spare part, or basic tools”

It’s actually a list of the 3 valid ways to replace a battery under the law:

• With no tools (eg pop off cover)
• With a set of tools that is supplied with the product or spare part (special but included)
• With basic tools (common screwdriver, etc)

So, yes a robust waterproof screwed-in cover should be totally fine.

Many people do this now, I find it super disappointing that an overt display of patriotism is now considered by many to be a sign of the maga crowd. Talk about cultural appropriation 😕

I agree with your perspective. FYI - something with many varieties “runs the gamut.” A gambit is a ploy or strategy, a gamut is a spectrum of values.

Is that the first AOL disc? I used to get dozens in the mail

Yeah it’s tough, there’s so much gray area and clickbait hype on these “cure” discoveries. Then we learn it’s either too early to know or only impacts a hyper specific subgroup in a limited way. I do think it’s fantastic that science is progressing and that mRNA technology is having massive and broad impact in lots of areas of medicine. The more the public can be educated and understand it’s not voodoo and miracle cures, but hard fought incremental progress, the better.

You have to appreciate the resilience of the design, though, it says the probe has an automatic reset every few months so it will hopefully recover in October when the next reset occurs

Looks nice, love to see the inside too!
