Yeah, I wondered if the chutes were deployed purposefully. Seems like the chutes fired a split second before the left side tires blew and started the spin.

and miss out on those sweet sweet daily compounding impound fees?

yeah I’m thinking, I’m pretty sure Cities have a mechanism for moving stopped vehicles out of traffic lanes.

I had the same opinion when Hyundai first introduced it’s 10 yr warranty. The cars before that were absolute crap.

Eh, it’s an obvious condition of the scenario that will have been planned for.

Which is why a gov’t backed standards committee of private sector representatives provides the impetus of the private sector in making decisions.

The problem described is Apple having basically never used the standard charging ports.   So yeah as I said, sometimes, the market needs regulation to get itself in order.

new formats/standards are years in the making. There’s plenty of time for even plodding legislatures to address changes before anything even gets to viability.

in the words of Sheryl Crow:

yeah, 2.5% was where we locked it in during the drops. Just stupid cheap.

to be fair, we have to buy them. b/c we won’t invest in decent public transit.

VA/DC outer burbs, std 5 bdrm colonial 1/4 acre. easy 1/2 mil value at this point. maybe 300k financed totaling 1500-2000 including ins and taxes.

Sane courts won’t but this SCOTUS is bought and paid for against gov’t regulation.

exactly. My analogy is the free market is a wild stallion.

every car I’ve ever owned has had this issue even with 2 back windows down.

My current 2012 honda insight didn’t come with cruise so I had aftermarket put on.

Zipper merge at the end...but I’ll pace my spot from wherever I start. I hate people who zip up to the front.

only guess is the truck option handles seasonal variability better? i.e. in spring thaw/rainy season you can run more trucks?

Do they also prevent restarting the engine?  just curious b/c it seems sorta dangerous.  I get the immediate cut off, but moving it might be desirable at some point in short order.

Yeah that wasn’t clear to me.  Does it shut off *and* disable it from restarting?  that seems dangerous in itself for the reasons documented in the above video.
