Nah. Big batteries and direct DC power for all his fancy audio stuff.

With you on the Camaro, not so much on the TEL. Those pop up headlights were not worth saving and it largely preserved the lines of the car.

First, the sports cars often have the issue of scarcity. Second, this is designed to be a volume vehicle selling into a contracting market that favors the buyer. 

It’s not the fault of the semi decorative DRLs. It’s the always illuminated dashboards that make most people forget to turn on anything. DRLs and areas with lots of street lights helps make the illusion more convincing.

The reason it comes up is because you have video game development where the ENTIRE product cycle is crunch time. 

Accessibility is problematic for certain things. Making a fast FPS available to the blind or those with motor skills issues is going to have certain inherent problems. Addressing those problems may fundamentally undermine what the original creation is supposed to be.

Well heck. I mean is there really ever ENOUGH time spent fighting the same bad guys over and over again in the exact same way? The 8,463,321,493rd time I encountered that house with boxing gloves was totally worth it and the deepest most awesome game experience ever.

SO the government has failed to protect you form old age. They are violating your right to life by your reasoning? Correct?

It’s like the love child of a late 80s lincoln mark VIII and the 6000 SUX from robocop. 

They are closing a bunch of stores because a bose only store was useless. Lots of their stuff moves online, and they can pay to have an island in Best Buy or other retailers.

Yup. Based on my experience, a LOT of medical software is garbage. On top of that, IT in the medical world is a mess, and in the world of academia, it is only slightly less so.

Bummer, I have had a few good bosses. Only one actively bad one. A bunch of middling ones that were between fine and frustrating depending on the overall structure they existed in.

iphones come out of the box in a pretty secure state. If you opt out of icloud and configure it right, not a lot of data from your phone is going to be accessible unless you let it leave your phone. At least in the US market.

I’m generally pro vaccine, but I also think that just perhaps they need to rethink what is on the mandatory vaccine schedule, at least in my state, or get everyone on the same page. But an honest, informed discussion of risk vs. benefit isn’t really to be found.

The stock market has a whole lot of bearing on reality. The market forces there, however, aren’t what we would call sensible in the day to day world.

No. Creating significant speed differentials is one of the more dangerous things to do with traffic. 

Let me translate “range anxiety” for you. See it’s a stupid phrase that doesn’t describe the problem. The problem isn’t that I’m going to take a car with 130 mile range and try to drive it to zero charge and wonder when that is going to come.

Changing standards would create a wave of e-waste. But would it stop as you claim? Does it exist in the first place?

Hmm I went to an ER in the middle of the night complaining of chest pain. Their response was to make me wait about close to an hour to attend to a drug seeking individual with no insurance.
