“That copper in the paint gave it its red color.”

The GI Joe comic books were far darker than the TV cartoon. Minor characters (“red shirts” if you will) dropped like flies in the comics.

Darn, this company had its glory days and started to fail before many of us had even heard of it.  This tech age comes at you fast.

Perhaps it would be better to say that the free market can be gamed for a while by people who can attract lots of excess capital. This excess capital comes from unnaturally low costs of borrowing, declining returns on legitimate investments, and excessive concentration of wealth among a select few. Either the house of…

There really are people that tune in to sports programming to see sports. They get annoyed by political discussion on sports shows ... especially on the proverbial “slow news day” when every 30-minute show will cover the same “story” from the same 3 angles ... every 30 minutes ... for 24 hours.

See, if someone only read your posts, they might say “Americans love complaining about America” or “Americans love to make judgmental comments about others based on the perceived actions of long-dead oligarchs” or “Americans always threaten to move out, but they never do”.

Hmm ... I’m having trouble finding the “wireslwaa charging” port. Can you direct me to where that is?

The engine was in the rear too, I presume?

Well, to be fair, she turned left.

“Paying everyone fairly” is a concept with a subjective element. Is it fair for two waitresses to get the same pay when one is attentive throughout the meal and the other one takes 10 minutes to show up after you get seated, disappears until check time, doesn’t refill drinks, doesn’t ask how the food is, and can be…

Search for “Alfa” with an “f” and see if you come up with more.

“Iran not being a cake walk”? Doing exactly what in, or to, Iran would not be a cake walk? I think the problem is that you can’t achieve a goal that doesn’t exist. What would be accomplished by attacking? Maybe some logic is filtering through the orange haze.

I’m pretty sure sci-fi has already explored many potential reasons for advanced aliens to want to come here. Everything from macho Predators seeking adventure to alien weirdos obsessed with cows to dwindling humanoids seeking mates.

Was that meant to be a “Schrödinger’s cat” reference? Schroeder is the blond piano player from Peanuts.

Here’s the problem with the “autonomous vehicles as savior” argument. Right now, Uber runs on a fleet of driver-provided cars. Uber doesn’t have an autonomous fleet. Even if the cars were available right now, then Uber would have to actually purchase the cars and start maintaining them. Uber can’t get free capital and…

Actually, yes, some cars do unlock the doors automatically when the car is placed in Park, and then re-lock the doors automatically when the car is placed in Reverse or Drive. In most cases, this is something you can change, if you know about it.

This shoots missiles, “an object which is forcibly propelled at a target, either by hand or from a mechanical weapon.” 

Ok, so these two new V cars have a power to weight ratio roughly equal to that of a Mitsubishi EVO VIII, or a WRX STi (GD), or an Audi S4 (B8), or a Honda S2000, or a BMW 135i (E82), or a Porsche Boxster S (986), or a Porsche 911 (993).

Yup, everything new is safe, because the scientists wouldn’t let them sell it if it wasn’t safe.  /s

His aerial probably did attract lightning.  Sometimes gut feelings are right.  Not always, but sometimes.
