It was about state’s rights though. The GOP just ignores that the state right was slavery and how it made the southern states continue to fall behind in federal power as more voting white people lived in the north.

When I lived by Chicago, I got to hear from another parent at my kid’s daycare that we need to be extra sure to lock our cars because there is a traveling gang that goes from Chicago to Miami every year and steals things from cars outside of schools and daycares and then moves to the next town. The incidents only…

well, there are a few bad apples out there

Because recovering stolen cars requires government resources to deal with it. 

It can both be true that western companies made bad long term business decisions by going all in on cheap SEA labor and also that China has done the best job of taking advantage of that greed in order to become a global economic power.

This may be due to the high belt line, but it is definitely grill heights. They are literally killing more people and block everyone’s view (both the drivers and other people trying to see around it). 

Consumer Reports confirms that luxury and near luxury SUVs are well liked.

Because it tricks people into thinking that it is and we have weak consumer protection laws. 

It’s not that they don’t have billions, they just don’t have it in cash, therefore, it’s impossible to pay taxes on it (or at least anyone to understand how it is possible). I’d be shocked if more than 25% of adults understood that it actually is possible to tax forms of wealth that are not just cash income or…

They get away with it because Full Self Driving is the software’s name, not the operating promise. Lots of text in their disclaimer that it is not fully autonomous and drivers must remain fully alert at all times. 

There is no chance I will trust a $40k+ purchase on any automaker’s in house software. There are a lot of cell phone options and they literally change annually. Apple is well known for not playing with others and this guy wants us to believe the GM will dedicate resources for decades to both advance what will be and…

A photo they have legal rights to use. 

I’d argue the one that allows murder is quite a bit more stupid than the one that equates to a noise complaint. They can both be stupid, but they don’t have to be equal.

If a temp patch or backfilled ditch starts to collapse, the crew should get called out ASAP and at least add more, pretty common after major storms. If it is an active project, then that fill temp fill collapsing is more like a when and those crews know full well it won’t survive weeks, with how poorly they get back…

Whether or not they were the perfect candidate for the committee doesn’t actually matter to the reason they were remove though. If they got removed for legitimate reasons under a good faith argument, then all of your points are a sound discussion to have on this matter. However, they were only removed as pure retaliati…

To test the waters for what the GOP can get away with and how far they can shift the Overton Window. See also, abortion restrictions, voting restrictions, tax cuts for businesses, judicial nominations, police budgets, school boards... I don’t expect anyone of those TN Rs will see any tangible repercussions for this,…

Was the Barney/Robin thing actually a beloved part? Everyone I’ve known to watch it generally thought it was bad pairing that felt forced based on some story board instead of a good choice. I compared it to Ron & Hermoine in HP getting together because the books required it, but they were an awful couple on screen. 

Much like how we still “hang up” the phone, they will forever be Tuk Tuks

Most major cities I’ve been to have the pedibikes, which is what I figure these would replace. My thought is that the rickshaws would be able to do way more trips to justify the extra cost to the drivers.

Would be pretty awesome to see these in US cities, they were very useful in India. Do any here use them?
