That's true whether the panels are on the car or on the home. Putting panels on the car only allows the battery to be reduced but Aptera hasn't done that since a car needs more than 20 miles of daily range. Panels on the home provides a superset of what Aptera provides.

The only subset of people that would benefit from solar panels on the car are those who live in apartments that don't own a home to put solar panels on.

Once I wanted a particular oil-based stain. My local hardware store didn't carry it; not even Home Depot carried it.

Less esoteric: every few months, I buy cat treats: buying a 2-pack gets me past the $25 minimum for free shipping, plus the unit cost is still less than my local store. No getting into my car, no driving, no parking, no standing in line.

In some cases, Amazon is both more convenient and less expensive.

For hunter-gatherers (which we were for most of a million years) an older female can continue to dig roots and pick berries, but an older male can't keep up with the hunting party. If the older male has some talent like flint knapping that would still make them valuable to the group, but any older female can continue to cook and herd the children.

And older men can't start helping out with the things older women do because ..?

We can barely get people to vote once every few years. Voter turnout is appalling low, even for major elections. Asking the unwashed masses to vote for every issue wouldn't work well. Ideally, every voter should really understand the proposal, arguments for and against, unintended consequences, cost, and other nuances, that's beyond most people.

Some states do have direct voting due to ballot measures. For weeks leading up to the election, both supporters and detractors spam everything with ads that distort the truth or don't include the whole truth.

Representative democracy is still better, but a parliamentary system is better than a presidential system. In the former, electing a leader doesn't devolve into a popularity contest.

Similar to Uncle Simon.

I had Netflix's DVD service for a very long time until they terminated it. It had a far bigger selection than streaming and included all seasons of TV shows, something that, annoyingly, streaming services only sometimes have some, not all, seasons.

But the same reasons for staying home to watch streaming now applied equally to DVDs.

That's no moon.

First, who actually goes to banks in person any more? Second, I can think of half a dozen business local to me that currently don't have the same closing times already. So your argument falls flat.

I never said anything about either ratio or geography. Are you replying to the right person? Regardless, again, the alternative solution is to adjust hours, not clocks. If you arrive at and leave work or school an hour later in the summer, it has the same effect as DST.

First, I'm not promoting standard time. Personally, I'd prefer DST all year. But that's irrelevant except to point out that you shouldn't make assumptions. Second, your "problem" can be solved easily by having "core hours" for businesses that need to deal with others. But there are plenty of business that could set their hours however they please.

The best solution I heard was to switch to permanent standard time, but businesses and local governments would be (and always were) free to have "summer hours" (where hours of operation shift back one hour, the opposite of the way we currently shift clocks) and "winter hours." So instead of forcibly making everyone change their clocks, give them the choice to change their hours.

Low-voltage wiring or fiber optic cabling doesn't require permits or inspections. I haven't read the text of the bill, but there might be a provision that the landlord must make reasonable allowances for independent internet installation.

Mac on the other hand are for coders that havn't [sic] learned linux yet, ...

I used Linux and Solaris for many years, but then MacOS X came out and I switched since it's a BSD-ish environment and all normal Unix software compiles and runs just fine on it. I'd much rather focus on actually coding than doing sys-admin stuff. I gladly let Apple take care of that.

.. and the Constitution amended to require it.

The Constitution has been for some time and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a read-only document. The US has become too politically polarized to meet the requirements of a Constitutional Amendment.

That's like saying you shouldn't lock your doors and windows because a determined thief will break in regardless.
