Oppish. You’ll sound like an auctioneer with tourettes, but with a little bit of practice, it’s faster to use, easier to understand, and harder for unpracticed people to decipher.

One site. 2 minutes.

And if you’d bothered to actually look, you would have noticed that there were 500,000+ EVs listed.

You were wrong about a non-existent used EV market. It’s not a big deal, just take the L, learn from this to think first, then form an opinion, and then post, and move on with your life.

Just to thoroughly put this to bed… Here is the per-capital EV adoption rates in 2021

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_use_by_country

The US is nowhere close to the leaders on that chart. EV markets are actually better in many other places than they are in the US, and speaking from experience, I had no trouble finding a wide selection of secondhand EVs to purchase when I bought my car about a year and a half ago.

In summary… You’re painfully, obviously wrong, and that is okay. Continuing to defend a point solely “supported” by ignorance and prejudice, is not.

Maybe just try googling it? Nah, you’d probably whine about being told to do that…

Took less than 2 minutes, and there you go, looks like you can view used EV listings in ~60 different countries on that site alone.

What a small world view you must have, to think that used electric cars only exist in the USA…

You know other countries have had EVs for just as long as the US?

Spoiler : it’s the cave diving.

I would love to do cave diving. Except every time you hear about an accident, it’s usually some experienced diver who fucked up just a little bit and that meant death… And then like another 1 or 2 people die trying to recover the body.

Huh, I didn’t realize you can’t buy second hand EVs. Gonna have a tough time explaining the my wife why the Mustang is gone.

You can buy EVs secondhand. You’d be hard pressed to find a sub 10k EV “beater” but there are plenty of used EVs in the 15-25k price range in my area, and are equivalent in features to used cars in the same bracket.

This may come as a shocker to some people, but ICE cars are mined and manufactured in almost the exact same way as an EV. The main difference is EVs tend to weigh a bit more.

Also, once you mine the materials for an EV, you’re done. My car runs on sunlight and wind. Once you mine and manufacture an ICE, you are locked into mining, manufacturing, and transporting resources for it for the rest of it’s existence.

I watched my dad die in the Jefferson Memorial. I remember the reflecting pool being so thick with hostile green scum, you’d need military grade hardware to clean it all out.

Can’t argue with that.

I am neither a furry, nor into VR pole dancing, but you should drop us a link for shits and giggles. I’d rather support people doing their weird hobbies for fun instead of meaningless wage slave jobs for misery.

Don’t feel compelled to, if you don’t want to associate your Lemmy profile with your VR furry pole dancing profile, but if you are having fun with it, you should consider sharing it regardless of how good you are, if only to show other people that this thing exists, and they may have fun with it too

One final safety check should have come after she checked it

Frankly, if I was running this operation, I’d have chalked out zones requiring different amounts of equipment to proceed through, depending on how close you are to the jump.

Example, to be in this area, you need to have had a safety briefing, to be in this area, you need to have your harness and helmet on, to get to the next area, you need to be connected to a safety line, then the next area requires that you are connected to the primary line, and the last area requires that a jump director reviewed your setup and put a visible “jump ready” flag on your harness.

Surströmming out here catching strays.

Eh, propaganda isn’t about truth or fiction, it’s about manipulating media to push a narrative.

One of the needs was not driving a huge ass truck for the 99% of trips where a smaller, more efficient car works so much better.

Eh. In the same line. Close enough.

That’s what the “Standard deductible” is on your taxes. Basically “this is what we think it costs to live here for a year, so this money doesn’t count towards your taxes.”

What we really need to do is hold corrupt politicians and the businesses that are paying them accountable for 150% of the damages from their schemes. None of this “I took a 5 million dollar bribe and I got 6 months house arrest plus a 1500 dollar fine.”

Translation :

I can’t see, you can’t see, all that matter is, can the fuckin horse see!
