This is exactly what I said ( I did not see your comment). There are countless better ways to help the environment without dumping even more of the burden on the poor.

Who is going to be hurt by this? The rich? No, what do they care what a gallon of gas cost? Even the middle class would not be affected that much, but it would devastate the the lower income people in the 99% of the country that does not have adequate public transportation. There are far better ways to save the…

People have always genuinely raved about the Levinson systems in Lexus cars. 

I call BS on the audio argument. I’ll admit I have a decent ear for quality but am not an audiophile by any means, you can definitely tell the difference between most standard systems and the branded upgrade. BMW Business to HK, Standard MB to Burmester 13-speaker (not even the 3d sound), Standard VW to Fender,…

It was released into a containment dyke area around the tank, or as some might refer to it as the “secondary containment.” Knowing that, the remediation should be fairly easy. The road was probably closed as a precaution downwind.

Sounds like you think civil war is inevitable.  Please get all Americans to see the costs of a civil war.  Yes, there might be benefits if your side wins, but the costs would outweigh any benefits to anyone.  There is no good case for a civil war in the US today.  

Let’s get a few things out of the way to start. Mazda is only importing 560 MX-30 electric cars, and they’ll be limited to sale in California. This is not a car that Mazda sees as fitting the vast majority of American consumer lifestyles. It’s aimed largely at middle-class homeowners who already own another car…

All else being equal, and given the current electricity mix in the United States power grid, after 10 years and 135,000 miles of use, the Mazda would be responsible for 43,475 kg, the 100 kWh BEV would be responsible for about 53,450 kg, and the average ICE would be responsible for about 67,700 kg. In just 20,000…

‘Do you actually need more than 100 miles of range?’

The union thing is shitty.  Period.  

250,000 for the client with an attorney.

Dracos are legal in Cali as long as they have a plug in the gas system, mag lock and zero round magazine installed. At that point they’re considered a bolt action, single shot pistol. Could they have purchased it in that guise, pulled the plug and slapped an illegal mag in? Sure, but good luck proving it if they’ve…

Safety off and finger on the trigger too, hopefully nothing in the chamber but this person is still a massive dipshit both for safety reasons and because I’m pretty sure there’s no legal way to own that gun in California.

While child abuse of any kind really should end with said person tied to a tree and shot this whole thing needs to stop immediately.

But also keep in mind that none of those companies constantly trumpet how privacy centric they are in their marketing nor do they poke at companies who they feel don’t value you privacy as much.

Trying to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, I thought maybe NY had a .02 legal limit or something really low in 1984, and his argument was that it should be higher, he just failed use words to say that.

My takeaway from your post. Since most drivers are shit when sober, we cannot tolerate any additional impairment.

“X is broken, but it should be easy to fix” usually means the vendor has already tried an easy fix, and failed.

Unless I misunderstood the article, the film doesn’t mention her name and the filmmakers just said the story is directly inspired by Amanda Knox. There’s nothing illegal about that, or uncommon. I mean, Law and Order built a franchise on it. It would be different if they had made a movie that was about Amanda Knox,…

I’m sorry but anyone can tell a story that’s inspired by a true story. No one owns it. She doesn’t have to like it but the filmmakers didn’t have to consult with her either. Plus, she already wrote her book and made her money so anyone who wants to know what the real Amanda thinks, can just buy her book.
