It's worth bearing in mind this war could be over in a single second, if the Russian army and its various mercenaries hoisted the white flag and proceeded to leave Ukraine and went back to Russia.

Allow me to express it like this: I want an affordable EV coupe that looks good/cool, like this Hyundai. They make EV coupes but I don't have the £/$1M spare they are charging. The only EV hatchback that I think is cool enough is the Honda e, and that's still got too many doors.

It's great. I'm itching to get electric, but I don't want one of these 4/5 door sedan/SUVs that they all seem to be.

Few articles seem to mention it, but:

After double checking, yes, you're correct. I deleted my incorrect comment.

This temporary and because of a fault in the fuel system on the combustion engines on the bikes, rather than anything more grand.

Typically, the upper congressional chamber fast-tracks and confirms military nominations all together at once with bipartisan support, via a process known as unanimous consent.

But a single senator can prevent it, and Mr Tuberville has done so for eight months in objection to a US Defence Department abortion policy. [..] On Wednesday, the Democratic leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, moved to confirm General Charles Brown as the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, replacing outgoing General Mark Milley.

The Senate approved the nomination by 83-11, with Mr Tuberville and a handful of Republican colleagues voting no. [..] While Mr Schumer could theoretically confirm nominees on an individual basis, the non-partisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) concluded that doing so would eat up nearly 700 hours of floor time in the Senate.

TL;DR: switch from "quickly grant unanimous approval for groups" to "slowly approve one by one"

The Fairphone is faster - although perhaps not by a huge amount, has better battery life and a better camera. The official spare parts shop has parts for the Fairphone 3 onwards, earlier models' parts are sold out. The Fairphone 2 was released in 2015 and has stopped receiving software updates this year, the 3 came out in 2019. 8 years of support and replacement parts seems to me to be much better than what Samsung or Google would offer you.
