His book ~~Dragonfall~~ is one of my favorite books ever.

Sorry my brain stopped working, it's called Fallen Dragon.

That sounds about right, I've never gotten anything nice from a hornet. The one time I did get something from a hornet, it was a painful disappointment.

How many platters?!

The thing is, I prefer actually owning my media, I don't use steaming services for the most part. But even with my 40 TB of media storage, I just don't have the space for 5k content. If it's worthwhile, it gets 1080, if it matters less (kid shows or anything that came from a dvd), it gets 720 at best.

I don't believe in anything over 1080p. Waste of bandwidth.

But the thing is, you'll also be able to buy a 2025 Tesla in 2035, and the price probably won't be far off from the civic. In other words, there's no problem here.

I didn't see anything in the article about this, but does the regulation also ban hybrid vehicles? Just curious.

It would be a bit funny if like... Chevy bolt = cool, Chevy volt = illegal

They can ban the sale. They can also refuse to register the car, so no license plate. You'd get in a fair amount of trouble if caught driving an unregistered vehicle.

Most people can't afford EVs anyway

Well yeah, most people buy used cars. But a used ev of a given year is likely to be in a similar price range as a comparable gas engine car. The question is, is there sufficient availability of used electric cars? From the sound of it, there will be in CA by 2035. Certainly, if everyone buying new cars is buying electric, then the number is used EVs available will skyrocket.

And either way, I'm sure this regulation is about new cars, nobody is going to stop you from buying a used 2025 civic in 2035, that's fine. I mean the car already exists, it would be environmentally negligent to replace it as long as it still runs. You just can't buy a new ice car after that.

I'm curious though, does this regulation ban hybrids?

That doesn't leave many people in the "not terrorist" category.

Exactly what I came to say.
