I'm a og integra petrolhead like you who loved top gear. I had a s2000 and drove some Ferraris on track days. But once I drove the model 3 performance they all seemed quaint and unnecessary. Maybe more fun but they got annoying quick. It's like saying the iPhone killed the flip phone. Ya sort of cuz it does everything better. And anyone who says EVs have no soul hasn't driven the ludicrous or taycan.
Ricky that was interesting. I wish you would drop the America is best attitude> Wow guess what you can drive 500 miles or more in very many European countries without crossing a boarder. The automatic gearbox was mainly an American thing. I have driven over a million miles in the UK in a 3,4,5,6 speed manual car. So much of this presentation reflects the arrogance of the Americans. There is a world outside California. Much of which has given rise to the development of the automotive industry. Tesla make undeniably good cars but so do the Chinese now. Please be careful as you might loose some of your European follows with to much more of this.
Why do we hate electric cars so much, even tho we know they accelerate faster, they are cheaper to run, they are cooler for our planet, they are cleaner for our lungs, they are demonstrably safer, etc etc? Simple - because we are told we ought to / should do / have to - there is a bit of a libertarian in all of us! And being practical, there is also an element of sour grapes from not being able to afford them - partly the input costs of R&D and of batteries (EV manufacturers would love to bring cheaper models to market), partly more and more well-meaning laws and regulations to meet that push all prices up, partly the crippling depreciation that always hits all high tech products that rapidly become obsolescent, and partly a lack of second hand EVs. I am of the ageing Top Gear generation who will be dead in 20 years, we will not be clogging up the roads long enough to actually save enough CO2 from motoring miles to justify the significant CO2 investment of having brand new EVs built … as I potter along avoiding speeding tickets in my (2nd hand, 100% recycled!) Jaguar F-type (which has never broken down, sorry to bust that caricature), while keeping a 20-year old Toyota RAV for hauling building materials and such like (it also refuses to break down), all the while being overtaken by the younger generation in their amazing Porsche Taycans! Change will happen, we just need to give it 5-10 years.
My appeal to every Muslim, my brother or sister, the owner of the channel, I know that it is not my right to comment on your channel, but God is my witness that our circumstances are harsh and forced me to do this. Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want.

Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why areyou crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, "My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, 'Why?' I said, 'How can I be better than people?' I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent.

Ricky I want to hear your engineering perspective on how Bitcoin holds value.
