Self driving cars. Make cars interesting again.

The cost of to fuel a prius and a Tesla are approximately the same, with a Prius having a slight edge ($5 per 100 miles). A model S is obviously performance oriented while a Prius is decidedly not. However, there is not much of a performance penalty with electric. A Nissan Leaf would cost over $4 to travel the same…

Texas secession would fix the whole thing.

No way. It’s all about brand/reputation. Sonoma is objectively better than Napa Valley. Napa Cab will probably always be pricier.

Even if weather tripled the price of grapes, that would only marginally increase the price of the wine. Perceived scarcity allows wineries to improve profit margins in low yielding…

Toyota has a fuel economy problem. They’ve done nothing to address improvements in anything outside of hybrids. I’m sure this would be a class leader if it was a hybrid. It’s not, so it sucks.

Also, so ugly.

When my parents needed their cars I’d take the Chevrolet 1972 C-60 to school. Class of 2001. She’s scrap metal these days but looked just like this, minus the lack of rust.

No but supporting the current state of the postal service does. I get almost zero real mail these days. Give these folks a high speed scanner and stop littering my stoop with junk mail.

I’ll list my neighbor’s offenses in chronological order. 1. Painted their house pink. 2. Stopped mowing their lawn. 3. Installed an above ground pool in their front yard. 4. Removed the pool and installed a life-size nativity scene on a pallet to avoid permitting. 5. Installed a working outdoor bathroom…

I’d settle for 1 in every 1 million vehicle miles.

Yeah I read it. I’m not disputing the quality of the technology. Until the technology is better than humans, it requires a reliance on humans. For the same reason I am excited about self-driving cars, I am nervous about the transition. It’s not that I do not trust the technology to perform at the level one would…

To be fair, Houston is full of deported Yankees.

Tesla goes too far into self-driving, without actually implementing it successfully. Alert driving is hard enough. Try staying alert when 99% of the time the vehicle doesn’t require it. You can tell people all you want to pay attention. Unless you give them a reason it pay attention, it isn’t gonna happen.

Huge fan…

As long as you mean make it work before allowing people to rely on it. Tesla is really botching the autopilot technology.

Taxes are not a horrible theft. Property taxes are. Once you’re looking at taxes that are 7% - 10% of your homes value you do not own your home. You rent it from the Government.

Sometimes on the internet people agree. I just thought maybe your comment needed some real world examples to reinforce it.

Context. The role they serve is essential to democracy and can be heroic when they actively contribute to preserving democracy. Trump might make some of them into heroes.

Milk in my fridge always lasts 1-3 days longer than the stamp, unless shopping took me awhile on a warmer summer day. In my parents higher end fridge with a dual compressor? It lasts an extra week easy. The fridge is more uniformly cooled and better insulated than mine.

Just to further clarify. I think what is listed above is actually a hammer drill. Not something at all I would recommend to most DIY guys. Impact drivers are amazing for home use. Impact drills allow you to drill through concrete. Extra cost and extra weight for a useless (useless to many) feature.

Buy this: Dewalt…

What if you have a job, pete?

I totally agree with you but I’m not sure Democrats pushing the nuclear option at this time is the best way to ensure a senate victory in 2 years. Lets be honest. This spot on the supreme court doesn’t matter much to the left and the rule of law. The next two spots matter a great deal.
