Installing an iso from a usb drive and installing an iso after mounting it as a virtual drive seem like they involve roughly the same level of technical skill to me. Booting from cd or usb was a routine school or business activity for decades. Mounting an iso as a drive has been built into Windows for a much shorter period of time. The last time I used Windows, you needed third party software for that. I would bet on a random person off the street to be able to do the first one more reliably than the second. But, more installation options are always better.
Blasting down the road might save you about 3 minutes on an hour and a half trip, as best I can tell. It doesn't seem worth the stress or the danger of causing an accident or getting pulled over.
Running up-to-date software gives me far less problems than running software full of bugs that were fixed 5 years ago, personally. If you find a new bug, you can at least report it and hope to see it fixed in the next update. You find bugs that were fixed years ago, but the fixed version isn't in your repo, and then you have to start building things yourself.
I have no reason to believe the average person can't manage a usb stick. They're a common way for photos, videos, and records to be sent from one business office to another. I've never worked with anyone who had any particular difficulty using them, and my coworkers weren't all especially intelligent or interested in computers.
Near me, city council positions are all at-large, and political affiliations, if any, aren't mentioned anywhere, not in promotional materials or on campaign websites.
It can also be run as a standalone background service, so you don't have to have a browser window open all the time. I've run one for years. Super easy.
I like Swappa. If you can find what you're looking for there, you can usually get a good price, and everything I've bought on it has been in good condition.
The original Mass Effect was great, a classic, but 2 and 3 had less and less of what I'd loved about the first game. By the time I got to 3, I was playing because I felt invested in the story and characters, not because I found the gameplay enjoyable. Andromeda wasn't quite as enjoyable as ME1 to me, mostly because I didn't connect with the characters as much, but the story was surprising and original, fights were exciting, and the gameplay had a lot of interesting new elements that made the scenario feel immersive. It's really too bad that so many people didn't like it.
