Are all cars made of plastic?

I have Corolla Altis 1.6 2025 model. Ever since I got it, I just keep looking at the interior. Its all plastic mostly. Plastic dashboard, plastic center console, light buttons etc. Like is this normal for all cars? Even civic has plastic dashboard. Somw cars have leather padding. When driving, i feel like im driving a box of plastic with some mixed steel frame.

Just used AI for the first time. Need your advice.

I've been a data analyst since before the recent AI boom. At my previous company, AI use basically meant pasting SQL into ChatGPT and asking it to fix, join or optimize queries. It wasn't connected to our warehouse, so I still had to do everything myself.

I've now moved to a much larger company where Claude/Hex are integrated with our warehouse and semantic layer. The difference is insane. I can describe what I need and it finds the right tables/columns, figures out joins, writes and executes the SQL, explores the output, checks nulls/value distributions and helps validate the result.

It's incredibly productive, but it has me wondering:

  1. Am I deskilling myself? If AI writes my SQL every day, won't my ability to write complex queries from scratch eventually deteriorate? It sometimes feels almost like cheating

  2. What does this mean for data careers? If AI can already write SQL, explore schemas, analyze outputs and perform basic data-quality checks, how much of traditional analytics work remains?

  3. Should I automate everything with AI? Should analysts be trying to automate as much of their workflow as possible—SQL, analysis, emails, meetings, Jira, documentation, etc.—because people who don't will simply fall behind?

Suneel Munj's anti-honda attitude is annoying

Suneel Munj (PakWheels CEO) is always thrashing Honda. Calling Civic and City "lafafa". Talking about their interior, questionable reliability, suspension etc. Its so hypocritical. Meanwhile he worships everything about Toyota. He practically said Yaris is better than City. Everything he says against Honda can equally be said for Toyota. I don't get why he's so heavily against Honda. Cause I feel Honda beats Toyota on most aspects.

EVs dont make sense

EVs are expensive. Maintenance is tough because either parts are super expensive or theyre not available. Resale is bad. And the fuel savings arent much if you consider the payback period.

Say I compare a 50 lac honda city with a 1 crore EV. The EV will give me 1/3 fuel cost of city. But it would take years for that fuel saving to pay me back and reach honda city cost. Meanwhile, if i just buy a normal car with better parts and resale, Im still spending less in long run.

Ive always considered switching to EV. But the cons always outweigh the pros. Plus, I hardly see EVs. Like maybe 10% of cars are pure EVs thst Ive seen on all roads.

What's up with the rishta market?

I've seen multiple rishtas for a wife. They're all happy with the normal criteria, like my salary, house, car, family etc. But beyond that, women are so demanding.

Like without even getting to know me, or develop a relationship, they start with their demands "i need a monthly allowance of x amount, i need servants, i dont want joint family" etc. Just a whole bunch of "i want this i want that". Two of them even asked me to buy them a car and finance their masters degree. And barely any of them are willing to do any house work on their own, nor work a job (even tho I dont ask them to) nor get to know my family.

They all want me to be their father, none of them want me to be their husband. Its been like a year, and I just feel so tired. This is no offense to women. But Im just heartbroken that I may not find someone sincere. Ill just find someone who uses me as an ATM.

70 Lac Budget: Petrol or EV Car?

Thinking of either City or Elantra. However, people keep saying go for EV. I dont feel comfortable. EVs dont have reliable maintenance and have low resale. I dont want if I get into an accident then I have to wait for dealership to quote me expensive imported parts. And also one day day see if resale value gets lost.

How do you guys accelerate?

I feel like the way I accelerate might be bad for the guy or fuel economy. I notice I gradually press my foot down on it till certain speed then release and coast, and then repeat. Or sometimes i keep foot on same position. Sometimes i floor it but then car high revs until it changes gears.

Girls always listen to their ugly friends

Was at a restaurant today, and there were 3 girls at a table near me. Close enough to overhear them. Two were decent looking, one was ugly. One of the decent girls was talling about her relationship and her boyfriend. The ugly girl just kept rambling off negativity, telling her to belittle him, put him in his place, forget about him etc. Its sad that hard working guys have to tolerate so much, especially from attacks of third party women.

Since AI came out, I just use ChatGPT, and that too for quick questions on code. Like regex, some sql function or something i forgot. Not at all using it for analysis nor query building. I still use tool websites to do some tiny work cause im scared of hallucination (site to convern a column of values to a list).

I def do not even try claude, copilot or any other tool. Too lazy to trial. Honestly, i just use AI for motsly personal things like weight loss, therapy, general knowledge questions.

Is anyone really a grandmaster AI superman that is transcending time with the aid of AI? Or its just news propaganda.

Im the male equiavlent of wonderbread. I have no interests, no hobbies and no unique traits. I dont have a favorite food, movie or music. Ive just experienced and dabbled in things throughout life. Ive played video games, watched movies, eaten great food, listened to good music. But those are just dopamine experiences, Im not into them.

Ive tried things but never stuck to them. Didnt like sports, cars, books, or any other male type thing. Ive just been on a hamster wheel. Got great grades in school, started career that I just coast in. And just "exist".

Like a coloring book with no color. Not sure what to do.
