And I have recently gotten a work from home job in Automotive and can actually spend a little time conversing now adays “in the grey’s”.

What’s parked at the Pendleton O’s club these days?

And they will still be paying for those things 3 years after they break down and 2 years after EAS!  ‘Merica!

They can all set up camp in David Tracy’s back yard, he has a Jeep for each one of them to sleep in!

Michigan looks at Houston roads and responds, “Hold my beer...”

Well, suburban areas are another matter matter altogether as there is really no true way to service or fix them since the concept is so inefficient from the outset. I agree, I don’t think there is a version of any system that will work where you live.

Because it is a genuine consideration. This is one industry, but others will be targets as AI gets better. There are papers out there that say AI will be able to target lawyers, minimize engineers, IRS agents, account managers, food prep, etc. If we push humans out of the workforce we will need to evolve our economy…

Why does this debate always have to be one way or the other? Cities will continue to automate and become more efficient - as it is effective to do so has there is only finite space for such. Country dwellers (such as myself) are more independent of public utilization and will always need ownership of transportation.…

A couple of friends in the area have said that car parking passes at their condos approach that of their rent, essentially doubling their cost of rent.  In one instance where he is inside the SF insanity, the ramp he would have to use it MORE than his rent on a monthly basis.

Yup, this. What they still won’t recognize on here is that modern day crossovers aren’t that much different in space and ride height of cars in the ‘50's-’70's and even into the ‘80's. All sedans today got into the ‘80's mindset of not only more safety equipment, but also smaller, sleeker, and cramped.

I LOVE driving, but how often are we even afforded the ability to actually drive? To get a piece of open road with some hills, curves, and technical ability? In reality, we drive traffic - which sucks so much balls. Between the headache of people around you making mistakes to the stop and go - I for one cannot wait…

While fuel cells are cool and can be practical, you also need an infrastructure to back it up. Electric vehicles already have an infrastructure to work off of that is energy agnostic. True, our electric infrastructure need tons of beefing up, but H2 doesn’t have an infrastructure at all.

That is very true, and someone that knew what they were doing could raise so much havoc with so little. Although it would help in this one situation, I am tired of the old “license your own bandwidth” argument used for security reasons. Not only is this impractical as there is only finite bandwidth available on the…

Agreed, he was definitely amplifying the signal, probably built with some Spark Arduino unit and getting the power/antenna configuration wrong, but I doubt it was an outright amplifier. It doesn’t take much power to penetrate the 315Mhz band, and it sounds like he was broadcasting a continuously dirty signal (seems to…

Unlicensed doesn’t mean Wild West, they still have to get approval from the FCC to make sure they comply with given law (in this case Part 15.231). There is still a power restriction and interference regulations, along with a 5-second max signal. It sounds as if he had a continuous signal going, maybe at overloaded…

Interior of vehicles have ventilation flaps on the back, generally hidden in rear quarter panels or behind the rear bumper. This is to help relieve build-up of air pressure when you shut doors. These flaps are a big problem for stored cars because they do exactly this - make room for rodents to make a nice comfortable…

Most actually will at this point, but there is a bit of an Easter egg to it. We have both a ‘19 Subaru Forester and a ‘19 Grand Cherokee and the voice command buttons do pass on to Carplay or Android Auto on both.

I could definitely get behind that.  I really wanted to feel some deep empathy with Wanda, but I just don’t think they spent enough time with the two of them to really earn it.  Looking back, the only scene that really built on their relationship at all was in IW.

Is that Flint’s water for the anniversary?

+1 for using manifold as an equivalent to many-fold.  Excellent!
