The moss green exterior with espresso brown leather interior has me reaching for my wallet :-O

Yes, especially the rear windows. I noticed that too last fall when it debuted at the fashion show.

So, millions of passwords were stored in plaintext. One presumes (or hopes) that in their authentication system, the user’s passwords are stored hashed using a salt, probably in a NoSQL db system. So then, how did the passwords get stored before the app hashes them during login?

I sort of agree, although “by Republican standards” is a bit of a moving target (as in, moving down, rapidly). I feel like she’s about on par for Republicans at the moment - terrible.

I ask myself this question’ would Republicans resort to changing long-held and long-respected rules on the appointment and composition of the Supreme Court? And the answer is, “Yes”, and in fact, they already did it twice (as this article points out). Would they be having moral qualms about increasing the number of…

Cuff 'em and stuff 'em!!

I have trouble believing anything bigger than a cabbage patch doll could fit in the "optional" third row, given the rear profile of the Y. I'm not sure your redesign is any better looking, but definitely more practical!

I read the reviews, and the T8 is basically not close to worth it - it’s a lot more expensive, has very very short range on all-electric, and it weighs so much more that the gas mileage overall isn’t much better, it’s not much (if at all) faster, and the handling is worse.

I didn’t see the comment where you guessed that, I guess great minds think alike ;-)

I’m somewhat similar - tech-loving guy, I like the Model 3, but with two kids, soon a dog, and visiting in-laws, I want something with a third row. A model X would be cool, but I’m not spending six figures on a car. I really like the Rivian R1S, but it’s two years from volume production (optimistically), and is going…

Not just any hatchback, it’s a reboot of a 1992 Honda CRX, I think:

I always find it amusing that every Trumpster-oriented new project/app/venture that intersects technology in any way anyways crashes and burns, usually due to a complete lack of technical competence. 

Early VHS (pre image-quality enhancement tech) could look similar to that if you recorded it from live TV yourself. The tapes from video-rental places, recorded in bulk on pro devices, looked way better, of course.

No vaccine is 100% effective, it’s roughly 97% for those with two injections, and 93% after the first injection. And some children with compromised immune systems, or who can’t take the vaccine for other medical reasons, are at very high risk.

I'm just thinking that, assuming this thing gets close to 15 mpg highway, you could drive coast-to-coast across the U.S. without ever stopping (assuming you've got got an equally capacious bladder).

Let’s be honest, the entire state is something of a dumpster fire anyway, so does this really change anything?

The Holocaust was not largely a religious event. It was the Nazis scapegoating an ethnic minority, who are also a religious minority, but the Nazis lies were based on demonizing Jews as genetically inferior, not based on their religious beliefs. And in any case, that has nothing to do with the sort of mundane…

Well, no. It hasn’t been the basis of every war in history, or even nearly every war. World Wars I and II were secular wars. Ditto the Spanish American war, the American Civil War, a couple of the French Revolutions, the Vietnam War, the Korean War....

I would challenge you to find a religious video on Amazon or Netflix that promotes killing abortion doctors. The conversion therapy issue is a more serious one, and in that case, I would hope/assume that Amazon wouldn't allow videos that promote it. Although even in that admittedly extreme case, only the child of the…

JBT gave a reasonable answer. I’m obviously not missing that religion is often one part of the underlying causes for conflict. But the real reasons for conflict are often more complicated, and rooted in ethnic differences for which religious differences play a convenient proxy. But the sort of mundane religious videos…
