Do you mean ARRL?
I agree their bandplan is pretty restricty, but it's also not law. It's more for playing nice with each other. Keep high power up here so it doesn't wipe out the people playing with low power, digital here so they don't get overrun by voice, etc. You wouldn't have any idea you're stepping on someone sending Morse if you're on FM. So there's reason for it.
And yeah, with line of sight radios, nobody gives two shits 20 miles from civilization in the woods.
It's illegal to push that button until you're licensed.
(No one will search you out if you're not being annoying)
It's illegal to transmit music
True, for obvious reasons
it's illegal to transmit anything encrypted unless you're controlling a satellite
True, it helps to ensure nothing illegal is going on and enforce keeping commercial interests out. It's a self regulating space, one of the only cases I know of that tends to work due to there being no monetary interests allowed. The point is to communicate information, not hide it.
it's illegal to transmit anything for commercial purposes.
True, the whole point is to keep commercial interests out. That's what "amateur" means.
illegal to transmit anything on a regular basis that could reasonably be communicated some other way.
False. This is for something like a non-profit wanting to use radios for their operations, they should be steered toward another service like gmrs, FRS, murs, etc. instead of amateur radio.
Its incredibly useful. Kind of interesting to recognize an unhinged jackass from one thread being normal a week later.
Threatening to withhold money from a place that gives you the most money doesn't seem like a smart idea.
If New York and California don't give them their money, the Federal Government isn't going to have money to withhold.
Creation of a Department of Community Safety to tackle mental health challenges rather than NYPD
This type of program has been working out well for Albuquerque. It removes a lot of police intervention for calls they aren't trained for (anything not involving a weapon, pretty much).

I'm pretty sure new Yorkers hate trump more than the Eagles, Red Sox, Patriots, and Mets combined.
modern Subaru Outback is about the same size as a mid-90s Suburban.
No it isn't
I don't think the 3 was a huge breakthrough, although it sure appeared to be, the S/roadster was really where it happened. The leaf had been out for several years, granted it had limited range in its first production models. The 3 was only remarkable because it had higher range at the price point, but that was more of a battery technology thing than a Tesla thing, as the bolt and leaf both had comparable range at the same price point around the same time, they just had the baggage of their manufacturers reputations and/or previous model specs holding back their PR.
I have a large room with clear story windows and the entire south wall is windows, in the desert. The roof extends out far enough to block the sun in the summer, but not in winter. In winter during the day it's 90F when it's below freezing outside. The amount of heat trapped from the sun coming in through windows is no joke.
