My best guess is that the F150L got a lot more expensive to make because everyone's favourite dementia riddled orange in an ill-fitting suit doesn't understand Global Supply Chains.

I'm out of my depth on that one. As a filthy european I've never understood the desire for a massive pickup. I guess the F150L shares a lot of parts with the Gas F150. And Ford sells oodles of 'em, so they probably assumed people would jump on the Lightning.

You can. The EU Equivalents, (e-)Transit, Sprinter, Crafter, Master etc. sell like fucking hotcakes. Being able to power a Jobsite off your Van's 230V Inverter or having all your batteries charge on the Vehicle instead of the shop is apparently a game changer, according to someone who drives one.

On the one hand, yes. On the other: I hate the dongle life. I want my devices to have ports for plugging in stuff.

Way to call me the fuck out, Ari. What are you gonna do next? Tell everyone that I play Job Simulator after I get home from work?

Hi. I am this person. I have fancy headphones and a fancy DAC/AMP that I use to stream uncompressed audio on the go. Unfortunately, I'm also an ADHD-Riddled idiot, and forget to charge my devices sometimes. And any music is better than no music at all. So gimme a headphone jack on my phone please.

Medium-ish Disagree. There can be a noticeable gap in quality between Wired & Wireless Audio. The unfortunate situation is that phones have garbage tier DACs + if you're streaming everything from Spotify at 128kbps, you won't hear a difference. Not everyone does that though, so give me a choice.

The Void is called Lisbeth, she's a fluffy little princess. The Tabby is Freddie, and he doesn't care about your personal space, just treats.

Look. We were still working on re-electrifying our Railways in Europe. The Prototype 601 was powered by Gas Turbines, the production model was switched to Diesel Engines. Plus we also had Electric TEE Sets, and they were actually faster & nicer, even if less iconic.

You are in fact, confidently incorrect. The BR601 looked magnificent at line speed.

Note: The TEE enabled key 1970s behaviours like being very gay in a Paris Café in the morning, and continuing your pattern of very Gay behaviour at a nightclub in West-Berlin while maintaining an appropriate amount of Drunkenness throughout the entire day.

Wrong again again because the Trans Europ Express exists. It has Trans in the name, and was an exclusively first class express & night train. I rest my case your honor.

That sounds pretty on point. And the first three were grouped up in the Plattschlosserzunft (which translates to Flatlocksmith?*) while the latter was later absorbed into the Schreinerzunft (Carpenter's Guild) *Schlosser in German doesn't mean Locksmith necessarily. Fitter probably is a better term
