Same.  If I’m just going to pay the card off when I get home, why NOT get the rewards back from using the card?  

That’s not necessarily true?

I once joked at work that a software engineer’s job is to break the hardware. (I used to write test software for embedded systems.) I was saying it to an electrical engineer. He laughed.

Lol this article was posted for us to laugh at the guy, right? Nobody should feel bad for him. Nobody.

His name is Lance.

Indeed, and modern systems are pretty much still this rudimentary. The vessel’s GPS location and a compass are still the only inputs, there’s just more software there to handle a literal destination.

The answer is obvious: the writer needs to get her own priorities straight, dump that asshole, and use the incident to get sole custody of the child!

This is actually what autopilot is in the marine world. It either maintains a constant direction for you, or follows a string of waypoints that you set for it. No throttle control either. Whatever you come across between two points is the person at the helm’s responsibility.

Man, this is so stupid.

If nothing else, the side scroller video game potential is amazing.

Everybody blames the drivers because the drivers are at fault. There have been two fatalities this month in Cambridge because some jackass in a UHaul didn’t check his mirrors or use his turn signal.

My most radical car take is that pickup trucks should only be available for commercial usage if they aren’t going to scale back on the size (which they won’t)

I mean, I’m not saddened one bit by a private jet being slightly damaged.

There’s at least ONE Supreme Court Justice jealous about NOT having to file a disclosure to the public on this gift.

So we own gas cars (or electric cars made with petrochemicals), the grid is dependent on hydrocarbons, and we can’t grow enough crops to feed the world without hydrocarbon-based fertilizer. The world population could never have reached anything like its present 8-9 billion without the use of oil and gas. The idea that…

Or just don’t do insane live concerts. I bet the carbon footprint of tens of thousands attending and supporting the concert absolutely dwarfs her plane carbon footprint.

The smartest thing the oil companies ever did was to invent the term “Carbon Footprint” and shift the pollution blame to individuals.

Just another way Musk is shooting Telsa in the foot with his wild ideas. If he hadn’t gone so over the top with his claims of what teh Roadster would do, they probably could have easily started pumping them out years ago and made good money from them.
