You are conflating the continued existence of a car with reliability.

Would that be the Kurd's that Hussein gassed? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halabja_c…

I agree on Ikea, but there is a cheaper, more flexible route than the Hemnes. You can get two Lack TV stands for less than $100. Leave the legs off of one and stick if on top of the other. Fits a 65" TV, receiver, sat. set top box, 4 game consoles and some smaller Roku'ish boxes. Wide open for easy cabling.

Uh...100 million call events per day? I know that number comes from the cited article, but let's think about that for a moment. The population of the Bahama's (according to Wikipedia) is ~320,000. So, a little more math, everybody in the Bahamas averages ~260 phone calls a day? Is everybody in the Bahamas a teenager?…

So...all you have to do is pull out in front of someone to get them (their insurance company) to buy you a new car. That's not very likely. The person turning on to the main thoroughfare from a side street has the responsibility to wait for the lane to be clear.

Let's see...20,000 charging stations vs 121,000 gas stations (let's say 1 to 6)...I can fill my car in about 5 minutes. According to the infographic most charging stations take an hour, so that 1 to 6 is really more like 1 to 72.

I disagree with using time as the measuring stick. You can cheat on time, in fact, it is very hard not to cheat on time. You will find yourself cutting your pace on the way out, and then, glory be, you can also cut your pace on the way back.

Quoting from the referenced article:

Perhaps you should read up a bit on the 4th amendment and what the Supreme Court has ruled on it. May I suggest this excellent article from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (https://ssd.eff.org/your-computer/…). Collecting meta-data from the phone company is not illegal or unconstitutional.

Wait, I'd watch that (unlike yet another POS Star Wars franchise-killing mess).
