The company changed. They left the enthusiasts before the enthusiasts left them. I used to own an eclipse and was part of an owners group. They came out with the shit-tastic geoengineering concept that would become the 3G eclipse and rather than take a hint from the negative feedback generated a lot of push polling to…

Your legal advice is not correct, or at least not without peril.

I have kids books for my kids. The images in it are simple. I hope they didn’t pay the artist. Oh wait. The work is the work. Your opinion of it is not relevant in weather it is copyrighted or stolen. Skilled artists get paid to make simple images all the time. Stealing their effort is simply wrong and something…

Wow, you should get different legal advice. parallel original creation is legal. However, the fact Tesla had access to the image, had used it infingingly, and then copied it, it will come down to how similar the image is in court. If the guy has a trademark on it they are screwed. For straight up copyright, you can…

I started using kosher salt because to me it tastes different than iodized salt, and in a number of applications I prefer it. In others I prefer iodized salt. I’ve also run into non-iodized, non-kosher table salt. Which looks like table salt, and tastes very similar to kosher salt. Sea salt either just tastes more…

You can’t trust the negative reviews? You can trust them a hell of a lot more than the positive ones. You read them. If they seem like stupid people being stupid, disregard them. If not, consider them.

No politician is EVER going to back a plan that reduces their power and influence. People leave you get less taxes. You get less congressional reps, you get less influence at the state level, you have less people you have authority over.

LOTS of people were saying it during her campaign. Here’s a link to an article from the new york times on the subject. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/21/us/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-putin-russia.html

You do know that if it doesn’t make a pronounceable word, it’s an initialism rather than an acronym.

Most things failed the small overlap driver side test when it debuted. Most improved their score by adding deflector plates in key areas. Some also changed the alloy wheel design on their vehicles, but the deflector plates were the biggie.

I’m fond enough of the Plymouth name, but how about accepting the fact that dodge barely functions and investing in Chrysler or bringing back Plymouth are just investments in failing brands at the cost of FCA’s more successful brands.

Most of the state of world politics has nothing to do with Trump. Russia preferred Trump because Hillary was a LOT, LOT more interested in a hostile political relationship with Russia than the other candidate.

The problem is that traffic fines are largely about revenue, not safety, and have no sense of fairness in them.

Why? If someone wants to lend me money at 0% interest, and I could afford to pay cash, why wouldn’t I keep my money and earn interest on it? The interest rates aren’t great, but it’s something.

Why the hell would Ronald Mc Donald be stopping at a Tim Hortons?

Ditto. If I really try to find something else, I can kind of convince myself it’s breen neevel. But that’s just shitty audio for you.

It’s easy. 2 minute idle timer. For it to start, the vehicle has to not be in motion, the throttle position has to not change, and the weight sensor in the driver’s seat needs to not be triggered.

Lots of states passed additional gasoline taxes while the price was low. That’s part of it. But if you look at the markets, RBOB spot is kind of high relative to crude prices, which usually implies some impediment to refining.

Dude, the economy improved it means more driving. When car shopping in 2014, the average miles driven per year had dropped to 11k and change. Now it’s over 13k.

If you haven’t dropped into an investment forum, it’s worth a visit at least recreationally. Lots of crazy, lots of “religion” (and by that I mean magical thinking, like dudes with “systems” to win at roulette and such), and usually a smattering of smart people decent at math.
