Mozzie has an unknown kid with the hacker (that was played by Lena Headey in season 3), which would have been 13 years ago. She’s in trouble because she’s a little bit her hacker mom, a little bit her con-man father, but also in danger of ruining her life because she’s way in over her head (‘cause, 13). Neal comes…

Look, we all know it’s because Annie’s Boobs is holding out for more money. 

My 2024 Mazda CX-90's adaptive cruise control is just too damn aggressive no matter what you do with the settings. It’s most notable when you’re passing and there’s a left hand bend and there’s a semi in the right hand lane. At some point the forward facing sensors are going to pick up that semi as ‘in front of you’…

They could put some sort of strain gauge in the mount that could report back the estimated weight in there. It should be able to tell if there’s an extra 75lbs + in there that shouldn’t be there.

Nobody bothers to ask the rest of us if we want all these ‘good guys’ running around with their boom sticks ‘protecting’ us. Keep your toys at home. I don’t trust your judgement and bullets are notoriously hard to take back if you make an ‘oopsies’.

No, this was 100% a tragedy of one person’s making. And that going to prison for murder for the tragedy they caused.

The reason for franchise laws is protecting the “franchise system”.

Sounds like Franchise Laws simply don’t need to exist then.

The fact we have to do it at all.

Good news!

Doesn’t matter if that deadline is 5 years away or 50 - people were going to put this off until they absolutely couldn’t. This notion that the market will naturally evolve toward a fundamentally disruptive technology without pain is absolutely ludicrous. Either it’d happened because people couldn’t afford $20/gallon…

My take? The world will be a better place when car dealerships are an option.

This was never going to happen without some pain. Putting a stopgap in there just kicks that inevitable pain down the road. We’ll never develop the infrastructure until we absolutely must develop the infrastructure. We’ll never make the transition until we have no other choice. There are zero scenarios where NADA…

Hence my point - if you’re going to disallow one of those, then you damn better sure engage the other one.

There’s only two mechanisms to control this sort of behavior - governmental oversight or worker strikes. There could be others, but those are the only two that have worked in US history. The market doesn’t allow a decent mechanism to correct this behavior, even though the theory says it should.

Hell, even if the fine is $1, he’ll use this trial as an excuse to cheat his followers out of more money. That’s pretty much the only thing you can count on Trump to do - scam for more money whenever the opportunity presents itself.

They don’t actually get to write that off on their taxes. That’s illegal.

Nah, that was for Stellantis and GM.

Yeah, in this case the seller wouldn’t take a cashier’s check. Why, I have no idea. All I know is that it’s the car was exactly what I wanted at a killer price, so I didn’t ask a lot of questions :)

The person selling you something *never* eats some cost. They just figure out a way to charge you that you are too naive to get upset about.
