What is the upload speed?
You can have decent internet at 100 mbps. Heck most WiFi connections are less than 100 mbps.
I know there faster WiFi speeds and different bands, I am just talking about your average user surfing TD, or watching a YouTube video on their phone.
Now the upload speed is what kills cellular and cable with speeds of only 10-25% of the download speed.

Saw them in South Lafourche.
It was the same color a few years ago for another major solar storm.
I want to see the green aurora, but I would have to be further north or it could be one of those potential civilization ending solar flares that would wipe out all modern electronics to get one that strong down here.

I’m a 1981 child here.
I may not recall the news coverage of it, but I do remember bits of going through Hurricane Juan in 1985. I remember having to go by boat to my home. Luckily it didn’t flood as it was elevated, but the air conditioner and some electrical access went under water.
As far as news coverage, I remember watching the RNC convention on a shrimp boat with my grandpa on a set of rabbit ears on channel 4.

The used truck market has been crazy for 10 years. I don’t understand it.
Here is a thought. With all the issues with Ecoboosts going ecoboom and all the failures with the new 10 speed trannys, many owners are probably trading in their existing vehicles with major issues and instead of dealers repairing them they are salvaging them because the repairs exceed the cost of the vehicle.
Same thing with most vehicles involved in accidents. Instead of repairing them, most body shops are on the same level as doctors in trying to price body work as high as a giraffe’s head and the insurance companies give up and pay for the vehicle instead of repairing it.
All of those issues are leading to a shortage in the used market. Plus you have some that are stuck in underwater loans that sometimes trucks are the only option to finance with high values and high rebates to swallow high payoffs.

I would never wear a thong unless I was a stage dancer at ChippendalesXL. Here is a clip of my audition.
Otherwise, I would be worried about having an shart or a bad wipe ruining the pair.

IMO hell be back making content again in some form.
That is one thing about content creation, you are always needing to make new content. You can’t always live on the pay of yesterday’s content.
It is almost as bad as doing p0rn.
Also, you are at the mercy of YouTube’s algorithm, you say something bad or off, or use the wrong content, you can get demonetized or deplatformed.
Then you have the cost of content creation. Some YouTubers get into a trap of confidence with a hit video and think they can hire videographers and editors to churn out content, but if views don’t materialize then you are back to a solo act.

Sell the Ev and buy a real car.
Well depending on what electrical upgrades the OP needs it might not be a bad idea with gas at 2.30 a gallon.
An electrician could run you 2 grand or more and then you may have some sheet rock work to patch any holes. Definitely will eat into any “savings potential” an EV may have over a traditional ICE car.
Don’t forget any permits you might need for electrical work depending on your jurisdiction. Some may come and pass easily while some maybe officer hardass and look for anything wrong.

I went there thinking, it would be "oh ok" but damn it's so impressive not just the dam but the workings of it and how it's built.
I went on the mostly whole dam tour. I got to see the power generators in the lower level and walked in some of the access tunnels.
I wish they had the whole dam tour that even takes you in more of the facility. There was some construction going on when I went so some parts were not available to tour.
One thing about the tour, the movie you watch is from an old DVD. You would think the federal government could have spent a little coin to upgrade some of the video by shooting some HD/4K video and upscale some of the video playback of the opening part of the tour.
I was a little disappointed although I was going to video equipment conference when I went on the dam tour, so I was able to see the best of the best in video equipment.
