It has been the law since 2008 in Pennsylvania that scrap dealers are required to collect identity information when they buy converters.  And the legislature just passed an expanded and much more stringent law that adds on to that.  https://www.mytwintiers.com/news-cat/pennsylvania-news/pa-house-passes-bill-to-counter-…

Maybe Apple could design a feature where, if a person plans to engage in a roller-coaster-like activity, the phone could be temporarily deactivated? Sort of a sleep mode, or even like those things that used to control home lighting - what were they called ... I know, an “off switch”!

Mary Jo and Bridget definitely have their own distinct vibe, and they are hilarious!

“This bubble popping is going to be epic.”

That sentence should be removed from the article because it doesn’t make sense at all.  The math just doesn’t work out in any way.

Nobody seems to know about this alleged episode. Was your comment missing the /sarcasm tag?

The IRS mileage rate accounts for failures that haven’t happened yet. Basically, if the brake pads are half gone, you have already lost money... you just haven’t realized it yet. Unrealized expenses.

To run with your analogy, imagine that Tesla sent a man out with tools to break into your car and remove the hardware from your heated seats. That’s basically what they just did, only in software.

“Well, it’s that pesky climate change. This year’s snow is different from last year’s, so we had to recalibrate your AWD. It’s essential that we do this every year now, because who knows what could happen? We provide this critical safety service for a nominal fee of only 25% of the option price per year. In response…

Here’s one reason that magazines were good: They came out once per month. That gave editors time to analyze events and come up with interesting takes, not just “hot takes”. That publishing pace gave the real world time to catch up with the news cycle. Game-changing stuff doesn’t happen every day. Yet “news” websites…

He didn’t say that 130 miles is the right amount of range for every car. He said it’s the right amount of range for this specific car.  There are people who need more range.  There are also people who need more size.  It would be absurd to suggest that every car buyer needs a Suburban because a few car buyers have 7…

Waaaaah, my headlights don’t steer at where GPS indicates the road “should” turn!  I’m so fed up with this backward nation!  I’m moving to Canada unless they change this! /s

Hypothesis: Maybe someone at NCAP forgot to lock the doors before the side-impact test.

The “animal spirits” of the market keep surging upward and onward, like a ... well, like a mechanical bull. 

“extant the Mustang” ... “rouge A/C hose” ...

Maybe it’s people who have more money than the rest of us. If you’re Elon Musk, why not pay $11,500 for a car that reminds you of happier times? If you’re poor, then it obviously won’t happen.

“...other automakers have figured out how to push past the 200 mile barrier by now...” 

That is bad. Making it worse is the fact that installing, then removing speed bumps in a parking lot for the sake of the video would have been cheap and easy.

You’re basically asserting that the older people in that country thought that making someone else suffer and die was preferable to allowing their own suffering to increase by some unknown factor. That checks out as consistent with the dark side we have seen throughout human history. The seemingly unusual feature was…

Your answer seems mostly correct, but the 737 Max fiasco provides a counterpoint. Sometimes the relevant info gets obfuscated, even in aviation.
