Lemme ask something about the Wrangler. I have driven a JK and it felt to me that it had the power in the wrong places, especially for an off-road vehicle. You didn’t get any power until the revs got very high. To me, that felt, well, less than ideal for off-roading. I understand that Jeep is carrying over the JK’s V6…

Once you get in a Tesla, you are both alive and dead until someone opens the door.

A distinction without a difference, or what? We’re not going to rebuild every inch of highways in this country in order to make sure it’s machine-readable.

Don’t forget John Hinkley!

The M1 is armed with a 120 mm gun that is licensed from Rheinmetall. It is common to a lot of western European vehicles, including the Leopard 2 in Germany. I would be it’s pretty easy to get shells for the weapon due to it’s wide use.

Oil? I’m guessing they got their money from oil.

Yes, that’s what the story says, if you click through to the Post. DHS wanted to catch “brokers” who use fake universities to effectively sell student visas. This was initiated under Obama. They set up this fake university, and then DHS told brokers that it was a real institutions. They caught a bunch of people. I…

A McLaren is a car. What else would you call it? Maker’s isn’t so special that you wouldn’t call it whiskey. Maybe I’m the one who’s out of sync. I drink whiskey—scotch, bourbon, rye, japanese, grain, blended, you know, whiskey. I guess what you’re saying is that someone who only drinks Maker’s is an asshole?

Why would you not call it whiskey? It is whiskey.

No worries. I have already explained this. Just read the rest of the thread.

I bet those tires were heavy, though. How did they Putin on the car?

Part of the reason that Tesla is having trouble is that they are choosing to not do what the older companies do. That is, they appear to have believed that they could reinvent how cars are manufactured and be more efficient. If they had just done what General Motors does, they would likely be farther along than they…

It’s all good. I think this is an important issue because I would argue that there are important values other than simply class-based politics. I want to continue to live in a free society with a limited government. As I also argued in the rest of the thread, I think that we are just adopting right wing framing if…

Ok, I actually responded to this already in the rest of the thread. The case is called Pierce v. Society of Sisters. The key word is “liberty.” The constitution protects the liberty of parents to choose how to raise their children. This also extends to the liberty choose whether or not to have children.

A man was on a ship in the middle of the ocean when a huge storm blew up. He began feeling seasick and walked out on deck to get some air. In the dark and the rain, a huge wave washed him overboard. He treaded water all night, barely keeping his head above water, and at daybreak, he found himself completely alone. The…

14th Amendment.

I think we need to reject the idea that our schools are particularly bad. That narrative really comes from the right and was driven by a desire to attack the teacher’s unions, because they were seen as supporting Democrats. The right has been smart in that way. A lot of the problems they claim to exist and the…

It was ruled unconstitutional in the 1920s in a case called Pierce v. Society of Sisters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierce_v._Society_of_Sisters

I would bet that most congress-member’s kids go to public schools. Remember, most public schools have been intentionally segregated. The most likely outcome of this rule would be further segregation and unfair distributions of public resources.

It’s unconstitutional to ban private schools. This is actually important and affects things you care about.
