No, they’re the same species: Canis lupus. Dogs are a subspecies, Canis lupus familiaris. But they’re still related closely enough to produce fertile offspring, so they’re considered the same species.

Which is kinda funny since dogs and wolves are still the same species.

The only reasonable way for many of us to have an EV right now is to also have an ICE vehicle for the things the EVs we can afford can’t do.

My wife and I have pushed having one car between us to its limit so we’re looking for an EV for regular local driving, but we really can’t risk having only an EV since the ones we can afford are all very small and not AWD. Should be able to replace a lot of our ICE driving but not all.

Oof, six months ago code is the worst. It’s still close enough to your current style that it’s undeniably yours and you can vaguely remember writing it, but long enough ago that you’ve improved a decent amount since then. So the mistakes or bad practice hurts the maximum amount.

To give you a word and framework for what your post, and a lot of the comments here, are describing: intersectionality. Multiple oppressed identities or characteristics compound to be more oppressive than the sum of their parts.

Your struggles are real, and you’re making perfect sense. I’m so sorry you have to deal with all of that, that fucking sucks.
