And this flight will be the first entry in his log book. It’s an official flight and he was PIC for the landing.

A world without license plates is one where the cops pull you over for driving the same color car as one that was witnessed robbing a bank.

My wife has a fish allergy. But it’s not all fish, because she’s fine with canned tuna and can still enjoy shrimp. But we wish we could narrow it down somehow. She would love a nice fish dinner, or even a Fillet-o-fish someday if we could find out what’s safe.

Insurance “fraud” would require that the initial accident was on purpose, staged, or otherwise fake. Part of the purpose of insurance is to cover you when you are sued. (as long is it’s related to something you are covered for.)

You don’t want to put the authenticator codes in the same database as your password manager, or else that will become a single point of failure if somebody can get the master password.

You are assuming it had functioning brakes.

And someone who actually contributed to a candidate is probably least likely to be quiet about politics in general.

Regenerative braking is for your light or medium pressing of the brake. It might help some small percent for heavy braking, but by the time you are stomping the brake for a panic stop, that is all on the brake pads.

And when EV eventually get more of the market, it won’t be these behemoths that average people are buying.

True, which is why the county will lose this case. If the state wants to get tax from boats like this, they can change the law. But until then, there’s no tax on it, and the county has no say in that.

Florida doesn’t have an annual property tax on boats, but some other states do. In California, he would have to pay about 1% of the boat’s value every year. (Separate from the value of the land it is moored on.)

They don’t need one unless they are driving the boat with passengers onboard, and the passengers paid for the trip.

California has an annual property tax on boats, (and cars, too!) in addition to the sales tax. But Florida does not.

From my read, Florida only taxes the sale of a boat, (One time) and does NOT have an annual property tax on them. Here in California, and many other states, there is a annual property tax on boats, on top of the sales tax. So not only is the county missing out because of the $18k cap, they are also “missing out” on…

Millions of people live in close proximity to nuclear waste now, they just don’t think about it.

A “stunt” usually refers to intentionally risky behavior. The fact that movie stunts are handled with extreme precautions doesn’t change that. If we just called it a crash, then that would downplay the intentionally risky part. Lots of people have had crashes that were not intentional.

No, these are not general purpose chips for the most part. Many of them are designed for specific use in a specific car part. Tesla has had some luck repurposing chips for some of their shortages, but that was likely because Tesla already designed such parts in a more modular way, and does more parts in-house. For…

What I don’t get from the 4th gear section is: why does reduced demand (not shipping used cars to Russia) cause a price spike?

True that draining them reduces the fire risk, but it also causes permanent damage to the capacity of the battery. (Not a concern in your case of a battery recall, since they are not going to use them anymore.)

Lead acid at 12V doesn’t have the extra fire risk that a 600V lithium ion pack does.
