When feudalism was the old way, and human rights and freedoms were new, they were literally conserving the old way. The name was technically true.

Anyway, my point: Don't let enemies commandeer language with their newspeak where nothing means anymore what it apparently means and used to mean. If we agree to call them conservatives now, some literal-minded centrists (or whatever they are) will be fooled into voting them. We should repeat "that name is a lie, their actions are alt-right authoritarian". It's a mistake to go along with the lie and write on a map "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" or "Gulf of America".

Do we have a technical term for “fuck you, I’ve got mine”? Some opposite of socialism? Selfish?

Calling alt-right authoritarian regressives/reactionaries "conservatives" bothers me. It's like "Damn those democracies and republics, like North Korea", and "Nazis were nationalists and socialists - it's in the name".

Conservatism is being wary of change and sticking to what works. Like not fucking up the climate.

Psychotherapists treat mental health through comments.

There's optimal cheap and too cheap. Someone always wants to be the cheapest in its class, and they'll compromise on quality to get there.

I've owned several recumbent trikes like that one, all of which lifted the inner wheel in sporty driving below my preferred speed.

At which sideways acceleration will Aptera roll over? A heavy battery between the front wheels will help somewhat.

"Millions" is cheap in car making. It buys you just enough design for manufacturability to make it good enough and cheap enough for people to buy.

Less design -> worse result while more expensive to produce. Example: Podbike (I like it, but the price)

Then register it to the next vehicle class, semi-light or whatever. Have the lawmakers fit the laws to the optimal vehicle designs with 2025 technology. How old is the law with the weight limits? Time to update and fit law to existing reality? Isn't it tradition to let the industry write the laws that apply to itself? Aptera is industry.

If the weight limit were to be adhered to, then the four-wheeler's structure would have to be redesigned around lighter engineering.

That law is lawfare from the traditional car industry and has to be changed.

Trikes are only good for saving pennies at the cost of driveability and usability - they should not be incentivised by law. Four-wheelers are more stable and should be under the same law as trikes.

Aptera is stupidly shooting itself in the foot with an awkward three-wheeler instead of making a good, light, safe, illegal car and attacking the harmful law with it. A quad could have a cargo space or back seat between the two rear wheels.

Trikes are less stable than 4-wheelers, slow and teetery around curves, unless very low centre of gravity.
Trikes can't have a cargo space or back seat between the one rear wheel.

Sabotage through lawfare is being done to velomobiles / pedal cars:

I'll start respecting it the moment they add the fourth wheel.

Plausibly deniable attacks on political opposition.

Putting an application's functionality in a hardware interface can be prohibitively expensive. You need a good interface for designing a weekly program for curtains, coloured lighting, and fridge/freezer noise profile, for example.

Every country has enough gullible people to vote for a professional liar with a Hollywood face.

Increased blood lead level in children has been correlated with decreases in intelligence, nonverbal reasoning, short-term memory, attention, reading and arithmetic ability, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, and social engagement. … The effect of lead on children's cognitive abilities takes place at very low levels.

High blood lead levels in adults are also associated with decreases in cognitive performance and with psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety.
