Cruise was an acquisition by GM, not a spinoff.

I mean, this is like 90% of big CEO’s. It’s not good, but it’s also not unusual.

They were dangerously flawed in similar ways that our Shuttle was dangerously flawed. We lost a hell of a lot of tiles on STS-1, to the point that some were sweating whether or not the thing would get back down without burning up. It did, of course, but burned up years later due to the TPS being punctured by a piece…

No pity for the Buran. The bastards destroyed the equally impressive AN225 Mriya out of pure malice. Hope putin meets with an equally fiery death.

Your story on this is incredibly incorrect. In an instance of thumb-nosing to Russia, their industrial espionage agents were essentially handed erroneous, incorrect engineering plans and data (by US Intelligence) on the Space Shuttle program. That they then used to build these. They only made the one test flight…

car it was $15,000, but they threw in gap insurance, which brought the amount up to $20,000

You’d think Job #1 is cut/shave your hair. #2 is grow a beard. #3 is sunglasses and mask everywhere for the next 3 months. #4 is make it back to Hawaii, where no one could imagine you’re a NYC suspect. He appeared to do none of these.

It’s amazing what a person can get away with if they just aren’t too greedy or dumb.

Huh.. I wonder how long he could have gotten away with it if he hadn’t been an idiot and had spread it around to a few hundred different locations? No reason..

Where and how did he find this dummy credit card? 

Now is this worth nearly $40K? I don’t think so, but it’s effectively a new car, convertible, in excellent condition, I mean wow, if it was about 25K, that would have been the steal of the century! But still a nice car.

This hardly seems like the application of the wrong pedal. When you look at instances where the accelerator is being depressed instead of the brake, there is usually sudden and significant acceleration because as the car is accelerating instead of the expected braking, the automatic inclination is to push…

He’s embraced every crazy conspiracy theory to bring every fringe group he can. 

Government by moron

The weather controlling part is the distraction. It’s what is tacked onto the bill that is important. In this case it allows the board of trustees of the internal improvement fund greater power to delegate responsibilities for how departments in Florida function. Aka, it’s a power grab.

These nutjobs should get educated exterminated.

Coal, gas and oil are the leading sources of weather altering carbon emissions. Looks like this bill could turned into another conservative self-own.

If it’s global warming, that’s not possible because humans can’t impact the weather.

Using plain logic, outlawing “weather modification devices” will outlaw combustion engines.

The first rule of buying a used EV is liquid cooled batteries only. Air cooled battery packs don’t hold up.
