Well Clean Coal is a waste of money since there are cheaper and more environmentally friendly options already.

Dont interpret this as me supporting this budget or anything else Trump related but there should be something done about the subsidies that we give farmers. The amount of corn we grow in this country is goddamn insane and there is no reason for us to be growing it to put in our gas tanks.

If we’re going to hold fiction responsible for misrepresenting things we’ve got a lot of work to do.

Huh, it’s weird. But we beta test automotive controls systems on public roads every day. Really temperamental ones without any actual skill or programming. And they often make mistakes that lead to the deaths of vehicle occupants, bystanders, and pedestrians. We just call it “driver’s education” and the automotive…

“There is only one reason one invokes the Fifth: they’re guilty...”

The first part of the law seems like common sense. LEO body cams should be recording all the time when officers interface with the public.

Right. You know you also have the he right to politefully refuse an officer entrance as well.

I think their cameras should be on at all times and recording everything when interacting with the public. It’s the only way to have an accurate record of what has transpired. If a cop was inside someone’s home and there was a incident regarding a death or injury due to his or her actions, I’d imagine you’d want a…

100% agree. But they get away with it because the driver must keep his/her hands on the wheel at ALL times and must be paying attention 100% of the time. Now, the reality is that doesn’t happen... Hell, why would you do those things if your car has ‘auto pilot?’

I still don’t get how beta testing vehicle technology with the general public is ethical or even legal. I realize this is the usual way software is beta tested, but this is 2+ ton rolling machine. There is a serious public safety issue here.

Welcome to the new age. This is what Bernie warns about:

I’m surprised you didn’t get more hate mail. These responses are pretty tame. The usual Gizmodo crowd must be taking the day off. This year is one of the most powerful el nino years on record. We’ve been seeing the ramifications of it for months. This is honestly not that surprising.

Wait...they built it on permafrost? A vault meant to protect against the effects of global warming was built on ground that is at the single biggest risk of global warming? They couldn’t build on bedrock, on an island which is effectively a single giant plug of bedrock?

A catchy title that draws people in only to be completely irrelevant to the actual story?

I wonder if Manhantans mother is also named Martha... That would solve this conflict easily.

Pretty sure that all right-minded people can agree that adding the definition “figuratively” to the word “Literally” is the stupidest thing to happen to the English language in the last...ever.

if Ajit Pai was a comedian like John Oliver, then yeah. but he’s the Chairman of the FCC. he should be more... professional?

This is my setup

He also had 12 other BMWs stored in the parking lot of the company he worked for.
