This was news for me as well, bookmarked and looking forward to an in-depth read later - thank you!
I’m always so happy to learn more about how this works so I can recognize and adapt. I know it works for many, but the thought of medication as the answer is something I really try to avoid.
Yeah it’s tough, there’s so much gray area and clickbait hype on these “cure” discoveries. Then we learn it’s either too early to know or only impacts a hyper specific subgroup in a limited way. I do think it’s fantastic that science is progressing and that mRNA technology is having massive and broad impact in lots of areas of medicine. The more the public can be educated and understand it’s not voodoo and miracle cures, but hard fought incremental progress, the better.
You have to appreciate the resilience of the design, though, it says the probe has an automatic reset every few months so it will hopefully recover in October when the next reset occurs
I disagree with you, but not because I’m a particular fan but because I think trucks are meant to do a job and not be any kind of showpiece or daily errand-runner. To me, a truck should be large and capable and only used when those capabilities are needed.
Honestly, the current consumer electric trucks are silly because their performance envelope is very small compared to their price. They are too expensive and heavy (in lithium and energy consumption) to make sense as a grocery getter and they are too limited to actually haul a real load or take a trailer camping.
I applaud the effort and I do think the F-150 is cool and represents solid progress in the state of the art, but I think the most efficient and environmental option is to keep a smaller efficient electric sedan for most routine driving and maintain an older large diesel truck for when it’s needed. No need to build new iron, there’s plenty of good trucks that can be kept on the road with TLC.
There are also industrial electric and hybrid (turbine-electric) trucks which are amazing, but we’re talking multi million dollar specialty vehicles.
