I don’t mean BETTER. That’s a different conversation. I mean cooler.

An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.

If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.

That’s just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.

      I mean really I’d prefer a four door but more for carrying… A little more stuff? I don’t know, I really want a Rivian but they’re like 80k and all.

      I mostly want a four door so I can throw shit in the back.

        A rear door is handy for throwing shit in the back tho - I wouldn’t even buy a car without a hatchback for that very reason.
