I considered them too. They got everything nearly right, and then they put the HVAC controls on the touchscreen. If they fix that before mass production, I'll look again.

The upcoming slate trucks are looking promising. About the size of a Kei truck, and absurdly customizable.

Hate the low default range though. 150 miles, and I have not yet researched the adoption rate of EV chargers for highway gas stops.

Hey, I'll take anything over being stuck on the cliffhanger of Eli's death for 20 years, and wrap up the whole Combine story as best as possible.

It's not on the list, but I've been rocking the same KDE fedora installation through about ten version upgrades. Once you dial in your settings and software choices, it's fairly solid.

The only issue I can recall was some weirdness with steam's dependencies blocking my last version upgrade, but it was easily bypassed.

It's not exactly written in the codex Astartes, but one does expect the near demigod tier supersoldiers to be fully self-sufficient and able to hunt if needed.

An army runs on its stomach, and supply lines on an interplanetary scale can be quite fragile.

Dear Congress,

Can you please leave comedy to the professionals on stages and TV? Running a government is supposed to be a serious business.

Sincerely,

I still occasionally slip on that myself. It's the first non-Microsoft office suite I used and it's burned into my memory.

32 hour workweeks AND lower the overtime threshold to match. And that's just using my office job as a basis.

The threshold from part-time to full-time will also need to be lowered accordingly for grocery store/fast food type jobs.

Only for normal users. Politicians will likely get a white glove treatment due to the media shitstorm they could invoke.
