While I’m not against routine testing (and better testing in general) what sort of test would eliminate people that follow tail lights at night? The best I can think of is test how well a person can perceive movement, but it’d be extremely difficult to provide a test environment that matched the real world in a…

I’m moderately disappointed this hasn’t been posted yet.

like tall, opaque fences - when determining if something should be considered private or in plain view for the world to see. For an example of this - if you keep a meth lab in your backyard, you can’t accuse your next door neighbor of snooping if he steps into his own backyard and sees it, but you CAN accuse him of…

So you have 4 cars, and 4 people. Or you put a person on your neighbors roof. There is almost nothing a drone can do (with regards to surveillance) that you can’t already do, it’s just that drones tend to make it cheaper and thus more accessible.

I just want to correct you analogy:

Is that of GDP or budget? I was pretty sure the US spends more than 3.5% of its budget of “defense”.

I think the idea is that it’s a wolf in sheeps clothing, and to suggest that the wolf stick a claw out of the disguise for “short range defense” is beside the point. The claw sticking out could only give the wolf away, and at the end of the day it’s a wolf, it doesn’t need to stick a claw out.

I don’t know about wine crops, but here in the PNW they use helicopters on the cherries if it rains. It’s only a concern in the last few weeks before harvest though. Apparently the cherries soak up the water and then split the skin.

I don’t know what the stereotypes are in Germany or other parts of the world, but here in the US you break a few of the local ones if you drive a BMW with your camo jacket on.

1. Doing things in a hurry. This inevitably leads to the thought “I should double check that” followed by “Nah, it’ll be fine”. If you ever have the “I should double check that” thought, you should take the time to triple check it. Your brain knows more than your conscious mind understands.

I realize that when you make a list this large, you’re going to make mistakes. Personally, I’d have put The Watchmen near the bottom of the top Ten. But in no universe can you say that movies like X-Men: Days of Future Past is a better movie, or Thor: The Dark World are better movies. There are straight up camp, old,…

I watch too many youtube videos.

The day you are I try that as a strategy is the day that old man turns out to be a retired kick boxer with full knowledge of how much armor you are wearing.

To summarize my story a little better, the process was this:

But here is the thing, the average car buyer can not look at a car and say “I know this will cost me only $500 a year”. Not only that, the average mechanic, you, or I can not with a straight face promise that a used car will only cost that much. Sure, those cars might exist, and may exist in large quantities, but at…

there hasn’t been a truly successful revolutionary new gadget since the iPad. Just upgrades to existing products. I guess you could call the iWatch a new gadget but I wouldn’t call it wildly successful.

Wait... so “people” which includes Bungie say it’s not an MMO, but you say it is. Then after claiming it’s an MMO, you then say it’s a terrible one? Right. And Final Fantasy is an FPS, I don’t care what anyone else says, and it’s a TERRIBLE FPS!

That would be taking the best possible view of the OPs words, and throwing in a little “OP is a little fuzzy with word definitions”. In no sense is taking a manual gearbox on track “cruising”. Similarly, “serious drivers” are not confined to those with automatics. Either you’re right and his word choice is the poorest…

Given that he told all of us with manual cars that manuals are only good for “cruising in low powered cars” and that if we are “driving seriously” we’d be using automatics, I am not surprised that he is getting jabbed at. There is no swearing or demeaning of character, there is only returning the same sort of fire he…

How about we toss in automatic braking too, and maybe auto acceleration out so that you can spend even more time focusing on those apexes?
