I will never use an auto-drive system. I enjoy driving and don’t find it a “chore” that has to be given to a computer. And I really don’t trust other drivers with so many driving distracted.

You bet that Lincoln never primed the pump for the economy either! People say he was good, very good, with the slave thing, but the economy! That reconstruction…

Stupid sexy Trump.

How come no one (except NGN_DZNR) is asking how the IRBM was fired from an Air Force C-17? Did the AF suddenly restart the ALBM testing?

HR person got laid-off, so there’s no one to delete the postings.

X-Men reference earns you a star.

May we import them to the US now, or do we have to wait 25 years?
