I do wish there was a company selling "dumb" EVs. No cellular, no OTA updates, no cameras and so on. Just battery, motor, motor controller and auxiliaries. Like a cheap car from 2005. A DIY conversion is the only way to achieve this as far as I know.

Thanks for replying. That's good to know, and I could totally imagine that scenario.
Love the hobby suggestion too
Sounds rough man. I got no personal experience with addiction - so feel free to tell me to get outta town. Could an organised support group could be helpful? I imagine it'd be a scary thing to commit to, but sharing the load with people who are going thru the shit as well - I imagine you'd at least be heard there and people would care/understand withdrawals etc. Sounds like you feel a lot pressure too (totally fair btw), so an organised support group could feel like another burden, but there's a darn good chance it'll make every other aspect of life easier.
Hopefully someone who knows more can chime in.
Edit: re-reading. I realise it's physically tough as well as mentally. So yeah, fark.
Yeah, I did think about that... Does seem inevitable. I'll keep pondering haha 😆
Yeah, cool. I'll look into Kohlers idea further. Seems sensible and acheivable?* (*except for the fact it's probably a political mine field and voters aren't great at evaluating long term plans).
You'd have to fix this really slowly tho right? Like however many decades it took for housing to inflate to this point, you'd basically have to spend that long deflating it?
It's only on Bandcamp and Soundcloud, but you can stream it free and accountless on both :) https://fehlbergo.bandcamp.com/album/luv-c

It will be real fun! Jan and Babysitter bands are supporting, so a good night of wholesome and authentic music.
Hi all :) I'm going to plug a gig I'm organising to celebrate the launch of my album. I feel a bit self promo-y doin this, but thought some may be interested. https://events.humanitix.com/fehlbergo-album-launch Thurs April 23rd, Bar 303 Northcote. (Tix are $11.50, but if you wanna go and you're strapped for cash just send me a message and we'll sort it out :)
Well supposedly the AI company is the one who has made the copyright strike against the artist - so the copy or style thing doesnt entirely matter - they've stopped her income and are trying to take it for themselves. (I'm also a tad suspicious of the story btw)
Dang. For some reason I assumed they were doing okay as far as bird species go.
Neat!
