I don't think that this analysis reveals much, aside from that Israel isn't engages in indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, for slaughters sake, which I think most people agree on. Are those males of military age non uniformed Hamas fighters? Or are Israeli troops targeting males of military age just in case they…

When, during the many years of its existence, was the UN ever not a joke? I get was it supposed to be, but it only every appears to play that role in conflicts until I read a bit more about it.

In fairness, you aren't trying to pretend either.

"...it'll cost half as much or less."

I remember seeing those races as a kid and wonder how crazy one has to be to participate. What I didn't remember was 1. How fast they are going and 2. How insanely unsafe the course is.

I'm guessing the driver was not aware that there was a (possibly injured) guy on his roof.

Tell me more of the palestinian state the israelis wiped off the map? When was it founded? By whom? What was its official currency?

Look, as with every hobby worth having, if you feel that you have enough camping gear, you are not camping hard enough.

But you do watch too much TV...

Faster, yes, but not better. They are lacking some information necessary to make proper gear selection. All they have to go on is engine load, rpm, and vehicle speed. They have no idea what the road ahead looks like, and most importantly, they have no way of telling what gear the driver wants to be in.

I must have missed something something, because this solution makes no sense what so ever. If the car can run into situation where it must turn control over to a human, then surely turning control over to a drunk human is better than not doing anything at all?

Where is it written that manufacturing isn't cool? It is the making of all the stuff that makes out world, well.. our world. Without manufacturing we would still be living in caves. Carbon fiber tubs used to be made by a whole team of highly trained technicians, one at a time, taking several days. Now AR is going to…

Most cars don't use frames at all, that's not really the point. Maybe its because I'm an engineer, but I like technology in cars. Not infotaiment, god no, its a terrible idea to mix products with 6mo and 4yr life cycles. But V12 are very cool, along with boxer engines. So are torsen diffs, active aero, push/pull rod…

Curios, since you didn't get the CTS, what did you get?

I would agree with you, but if you want a carbon fiber car for way below $100k your choices are alfa and what exactly?

18panels*100watts/panel=1,800watts/220V=8.18Amps max.

I would love to know how long your car has to sit there for the panels to give sufficient charge for a trip down to the corner store and back.

I was born in kharkov, and spend my first 9 years there before getting out in '90. As a kid, I didn't notice the political stuff, and most of the outrageous stuff seemed normal. People weren't being taken to the gulags anymore, mostly. Everyone made a point to acknowledge the bad days without talking about them. And…

I'm not sure how to translate komandirovka. Russians in the US use it to talk about business trips. Except, there is the command thing in there, so it's a trip the government commands you to take. Most often, it was a perk, sort of like a conference in vegas. Go somewhere sunny. I don't know for sure how travel…
