Me too! I was thinking they had really let their quality control go. It wasn't until I noticed it on a milk carton that I realized something was up.

These have a certain TemplateMonster vibe, with the mangled grammar and nonsense subject matter.

Actually, no, that's how everyone but the Catalans pronounce it.

I just went through this a couple of days ago because I needed to use an app that is Windows-only and doesn't work on Wine. Fully expected to spend several hours downloading, installing, fighting with VirtualBox and its extensions, etc. But decided to try Parallels instead and...holy hell! It was about three clicks to install Parallels and then it freaking asked if I wanted to install Windows 11, and I'm like...uh, yes? And it freaking downloaded Windows 11 from Microsoft, did an unattended installation, and just plopped me into the desktop in about 15 minutes. It works great, Desktop, Documents folders mapped back and forth, etc. The "coherence" feature lets that one app I need run in a window just like a regular Mac app.
Super impressed.

All of which is British except for some Reese's candy and their horrible Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch knock-off.

It's still that cheap. It's a chain bakery known for cheap, low-quality products and the worst coffee you ever had.

I'd be buying an EUV right now if they sold it in my country, just for the extra space and range. Got a ten-year-old Volt that's made me a believer in GM's EVs.

Just last night when I got in my car and started the "Driving Mode" bowel movement they replaced AA with, a message popped up that they were ending support for it effective pretty much immediately, and to use Maps from now on. So yeah, I think you're right.
I just want good ol' AA back. Like we had for years. That worked great. Before they started fucking with things.

No vehicles caught fire. The post title is a complete fabrication, same OP posted it all over Reddit.

Reply to Aptera’s Solar-Powered EV Is Finally Finished—and It Looks Just as Bonkers as the Concept by elister
Wasn't this car finished about four months ago? Oh, it's an article from...four months ago that was just posted. They've raised about $12MM so far, and have a matching grant from the state of California that will put them over the top once they raise another...$15MM I think.
