It would long have been closed except for Congress.  They no likey driving to Dulles.

My ex-in laws were around when Dulles was very new. It was hell and gone from populated areas at the time. Like more cows nearby than people.

Fission nuclear is a terrible idea. Waste that has to be stored for, checks notes, longer than modern society has *existed* is an exercise in hubris unrivaled in millennia. Oh and it’s *the most* expensive compared to literally every other option - even without the cost of waste storage included. It’s stellar safety…

this is why your small cars are a much better market leader.  And they just aren’t selling them.

The EV Corolla’s and Civics are rolling off the....oh wait.

If there’s one feature I want in my house it’s that it’s *immobile*.

FIOS recently stopped supporting cable cards for the TV side of things. RIP my Tivo :(

Bonus in VA.  The state literally made it illegal for a municipal system to offer internet at prices below any existing incumbent.   And if a municipality wants to provide service anyway, they have to submit a business plan that shows it will be profitable in...year one!

stealing software functionality? that they say costs hundreds or thousands of dollars?

Same oil?  good luck

That’s only the battery. That isn’t damaged in the vast bulk of crashes. All the safety tech has to be re-certified regardless of EV or ICE.

The thing is we were sold as capitalism being an entire system.  It’s only half of a ledger.   We need significant regulation and taxes on corps to balance that sheet.  

Except people drive wildly oversized SUVs already so the tire issue is less significant. An EV Bolt will certainly wear tires faster than a Corolla, but not so much more than a Highlander.

What’s not really covered is that *all* modern cars are wildly expensive to repair. All those safety systems have to be re-calibrated, and most importantly, re-insured against future liability. It’s part of the re-calibration cost but even fairly new ICEs get totaled because the cost of re-certifying them for road use…

Just practice that figure eight.  Keep practicing

Much like the Air Marshals. You don’t know but they’re there. Had a friend who was former infantry, 6'4" 220+ and kept in shape. He flew 1st class for free upgrade for a good 5 years after 9/11.

So uh, Jalop - this is why you’ve lost respect.

100%. No muscle car is going to compete with a designed ‘muscle’ EV. Not handling, not power, not accel.  Literal family sedan EVs are better than the muscle cars of yore.
