Some doctor told my dad a while ago that he felt like we weren’t that far off from physically poking around in a mind and hoping that we fixed it- or that we’re closer to that than understanding it.

It’s an old and second hand story. I do appreciate the idea though that we’ve found ways to disrupt the mind that can be beneficial, but that we’re not at the level of being able to do more than throw a cog in the works in a general direction.

For me it makes it easier to accept when the first - or second thing does work. We’re just trying things. It’s not like we know what is gonna unclog the works.

This is getting pretty deep into a metaphor. Sorry

Fiat 500e at least has an obd 2 connector, though it seems like it it speaks a different language.

Not that they’re particularly cheap at all, but Polestars are already made in China.

Taking an L = taking a loss / losing.

Its slang / an expression.

It’s got its problem but it’s my preference

I get what you’re saying, and agree that the gambling industry is predatory on its face, but isn’t the preference for Firefox over Chromium(amongst tech people on the fediverse) largely driven by the idea that the web should be an open platform with open standards that renders and functions the same on different rendering engines?
