I am, but your “use” of it here strikes me as a recovery from an otherwise silly statement you made without subtracting the release date of the iPhone 5 from the current year.

Gotta love the request to put down pitch forks when you stick an exaggerated inciting word into every other sentence ;-)

I’m not sure if that’s true of my tracks, but they WILL roll the corner workers with a fire extinguisher. Outside of fire it is unlikely that there is a medical emergency that a driver can fix, but waiting 3 minutes for an amblulance spells death.

The problem with that is that without knowing WHAT caused the first driver to go off track, you can’t be positive another drive is about to follow. Or, even if you suspect brake failure you don’t know that there isn’t a large trail of brake fluid in the braking zone.

I’m all for punishing drunk driving, but I’m also for grading on a curve. If the vehicle wasn’t moving, and there was no proof that it was moving when he was intoxicated, then I don’t blame the cops for not fucking a guy over socially/economically by towing the car and handing out a DUI. An officers job is both to…

They can and have “hit land” when it’s feasible for a mission. Check. Done. Easy. However, for. Given mission criteria setting down on land just isn’t an option, there will be no land around. Given that, they have created land (a barge) that they can position under the predicted rocket location.

Absolutely agree 100%. The other 50% missing is that the vast majority of the American people simply don’t give a shit about space and wouldn’t waste a dime on it. Those people are short sighted and silly people, but they are the majority, and it IS our democratic government’s job to do the will of the people, and not…

It’s almost like we’re having a discussion, but you aren’t responding to anything I say in response to what you claim. You make these new points when replying directly to me. It’s interesting. That said, your demeanor has improved, so I’ll give you that.

You called it a “barge”, and stated that it “falls behind” other cars “badly”. If it wasn’t weight (which has nothing to do with maintaining speed) and wasn’t aerodynamic (because it’s better than almost every other car) then what exactly does “barge” have to do with its claimed poor ability to maintain cruising speed?

Citation? Seriously curious about this one.

“Lol, what cruising speeds can you even maintain in that cheap-ass barge with an expensive battery? Once again: Tesla falls behind badly!”

Yeah, there are at least 4 seconds where the train conductor could (and probably did) see the truck and start braking. Given that the engine travels it’s distance in roughly one second when first entering the frame, then it took AT LEAST 6 train lengths to stop.

Since you made the comment on, you know, the internet, I just wanted to make sure you knew it wasn’t hard to find now that we have the internet :)

Is that the same hard to find Kroil as this kroil?

They haven’t lost their way until they stop selling good enthusiast cars, which they haven’t done yet. They are welcome to sell all the “crappy” mass market cars they want if it continues to fund exciting cars that would otherwise constitute a bad business decision.

I’m sort of confused here. He only insured it for 1/3 of what it’s worth, and when it went missing he did what? Claimed the insurance money? Because if he did that it seems like it’s well within UPS’s right to sell it, as they have effectively bought it from the owner. Now, just because the owner lied about it’s worth…

And I agree with yours. Not only the health of the business though, but of the industry. Also the diversification of the industry matters as well. Any industry trying to attract employees is going to see it in the best interest of the business to make sure working conditions are safe and employees are paid enough to…

Some businesses would indeed. But whether they did based on ethics or because it made good business sense would vary. Even among those that chose ethics as the reason, a business would have to be able to afford those ethics. Amazon is an example of a company that is likely doing this based on it being a good business…

I’m not going to say I’m for or against unions, but your statement and conclusion are just wrong here:

I didn’t ignore it, I dismissed it as a claim that wasn’t being backed up. What I can glean about the DreamCast is that it was sold for $199. Almost a year and a half after launch the price did go down to $99, but only because the company gave up on it:
