And the smaller the car, the more moisture per volume of air you are generating by breathing.

That would have been a completely different car. In the Pinto, the rear axle is under the back seat (and, famously, the gas tank behind that). Actually, pretty common for small cares of the era -- say compared to the (modern) MiniCooper where the wheels are much more rearward.

At first I read that as The Dude.  Alas.

They got the math *very* wrong. They weren’t even computing the cost to Ford, they used a standardized “value of a human life” figure and came up with a “cost to society” of $~50M. And they figured the cost of changing the Pintos at ~$137M. So, the “right” answer (to their wrong question) was to do nothing. Of course

Every car on the market is full of those kinds of decisions.  There isn’t a car out there that couldn’t be made safer -- and be heavier, slower, less economical, and more expensive to purchase.   The Pinto is famous because not because it was unique in this regard, but because they got the math so wrong.

It only tells me that I’m glad she’s not my doctor.

I had those kind of lights on my ‘67 Cougar — the little doors opened when you turned on the lights.

The summary seems innocuous enough, but perhaps the actual content was another matter?

I’m wondering why he didn’t ask her to produce the name, just one, of a dead person who voted.

The base problem is that “Defund the Police” is used by different groups to mean different things —everything from complete abolition to minor reform, and a dozen variations in between. As a result nobody really knows what it means in any particular context. That’s bad enough, but worse is that w/o a clear meaning, it

Not only is it legal, it is constitutional!

You might be surprised at how many people don’t understand that. And it is different from going off grid with a PV & battery system, for example. Suppose a vegan went to buffet with a group of 9 friends, (you know when you could still do that), and paid extra so that 1/10 of the food would be vegan food. But then they

Electrons are fungible, so that doesn’t mean that every electron that came through your house was generated via a renewable source. All it means is that they bought enough renewable to cover the usage of you and the rest of the customers who paid extra.

Sorry America for Steve King. Also sorry for his replacement, Randy Feenstra, who is also a steaming pile of alt-right garbage (but unlike King, just smart enough not to say the really horrible stuff out loud). Yours in penance, Iowa.  And yes, I just declared myself Iowa’s spokesmodel.  Bite me, buy your own vowel.

OHIO is also 75% bowel.

You should watch David Letterman’s interview of him, then.

Just a picture of a bolt on one of them and a socket on the other.

Is it road legal or strictly off-road?
