Kids 0-4 development doesn’t change no matter how much technology does. He’s lamenting the changes in the shows merit and quality. Saying ‘don’t let his kids watch’, completely misses the point.

Love 3-blink except when I’m driving the ‘other’ car that doesn't have it. I'm sure people around me wonder what's up with the 1/2 blink on lane changes that car lets me do.

I see what you’re saying, and I don’t entirely disagree but if the ‘code is cracked’ that should raise the bar to win, and as long as people are behind it and the cars are similar in performance, there will still be risks taken.

If I lose a foot lb of torque after the fix I’ll have been wronged. Until then right you are. I have no damages yet. (My wife thinks otherwise because of the environment, and that’s ok too, but for me meh... farm equipment.) But I think equal blame should go to CARB (California Air Redources Board) because it wasn’t…

I’ve been part of a few classes that paid out more than $10 that I was defaulted into without effort. I’m gonna wait and see.

Plus... the Third World says to the First World: ‘lets get this straight assholes, you guys burn whatever the fuck you want for 80+ years and become rich countries and we don’t get to do that? That sounds fair.’

I’m a ‘12 JSW TDI owner. Whether this is good or not depends quite a bit on what the EPA mandates. If the EPA says ‘OK you’re grandfathered as an owner, no need to do anything’ then there are plenty on non-green owners who don’t give a f- and in which case this is an ok deal. But how likely is that? Not. At. All.…

And in response to that response of ‘Jesus’, it would have even better if Carson then said “oh, haha no, thanks, I’m not Jesus, just a disciple.’

Damn, that sound at speed, from a street car.

Well I’m glad you see the middle. I think there’s a grey area there between socialism and libertarianism that allows for reasonableness and is not in line with Grover Norquist. And most righties I know, are so caught up with not being ‘socialist’ they miss the reality of positive government completely.

I don’t necessarily disagree with your definitions regarding personal assets, (and I feel similarly to the comment OP on the military) but what’s the inverse of socialism on the right that supports ‘civics’? Because I can’t think of an example on the far right where taxes are considered good for anything (outside…

Now tell us how you really feel?

Holy shit! China has a patent bureau?

Re: Legacy platforms... It’s both understandable and strange. Understandable because the AF loves having that ‘oh yes we did’ moment with new gotcha models every few decades that blow people away (U2, 71, f15, 16, 22, JS...n’mind), but at the same time it seems the Navy is much more open to incremental improvements. I…

You and China. But on the plus side, the sooner everyone does this the sooner we can rid the world of lame-ass Hollywood blockbusters and finally just get what we pay for: free student indie arthouse noir dramas.

I dunno. I just re-read the entire war-us-boring piece on it again yesterday, and it’s still spot-on two years later. JSF has that crucial design flaw, being built around the stupid fan, that is really a fundamental mistake. No matter how good the software gets, the physics won’t change. I’m not saying scrap it at…

+1 for Gwaker.

Fortunately thanks to Cold War 1.0, as far as internet communications go, losing a few cables was planned for.

Weird, he doesn't look nearly as old as I remember him looking on tv when I was 10.

His whole wiki page and story are fascinating.
