You don't need to haul things that often to make it worthwhile. Pickups aren't usually that fuel inefficient, maybe 20 mpg instead of 30. Given the high costs of renting (including extra gas), if you have to haul a time or two a month, it's worth buying.
Also, cute slight of hand at the end, but you just showed a pair of people having a pair of cars. Which doesn't help as each person needs to drive somewhere different.
And while I certainly don't want to live in a rural area, telling people that they cannot is likely one of the causes of them being pissed.
I really don't get the pick-up hate. But then again, I don't get the Tesla hate (except that my tax dollars are subsidizing your car).
I findYouTube as bad as most competitors when it comes to stuttering/needing to buffer. I mean major competitors. Startups, even ones with piles of cash, are significantly worse.
They were at 11% in 2017, they went up to 12% in 2018. Removing the inexpensive options didn't hurt htme in 2018. It may hurt them in 2019 though, although I'm not sure whether that's because they expect to lose marketshare, or for the smartphone market to cool.
It would have to be phrased slightly differently. Prior to now, Congress could pass an "LOL, No" bill in response to Pei's specific decision, just undoing it (the timelimit on an LOL, No bill just expired). This would have to be a longer bill, that fully explained what Pei the FCC had to do. It would probably also either be screwable with by Pei, or be so firm that the FCC couldn't adapt it in the future when the invariable loophole was found. Also, because it was a new rule, not an LOL, No bill, there's probably a gap in time before implementation, as opposed to the instant application of "LOL, No"
The legal name for the "LOL, No" bill is the "Congressional Review Act" if you want to learn more
I withdraw the part of my post that agrees the parks are staying open. You are just 100% wrong. The link I used in that post referenced Joshua Tree. It just shut down. Looks like even Trump's express change to policy couldn't survive contact with reality. Shocking.
Cross posed to the GP post, so people will see it.

. It never made sense to me that the credit phased out on a per-automaker basis.
They want to encourage a healthy competition for e-Vehicles. The per-automaker basis encourages later entrants to get involved - it makes their cars cheaper and more affordable. So either they can price compete effectively with established players even if their initial costs of production are $7,500 more each, or lure customers away by offering a price competitive discount if it costs less than that.
Or, in summary, you have the goal wrong. It's not to incentivize Americans to shift to EVs. It's to incentivize EVs to exist to be shifted to
It's a thing in civil court. The government can fine you without demonstrating injury (your "texting and driving" example), but I cannot sue you for texting and driving next to me unless you injury me in some way (crash into me, etc.) Copyright law attached a "statutory injury" for copyright violations, at the RIAA/MPAA request. So they no longer have to prove the loss of sales, the law already assumes it. We should have statutory injury for privacy violations. Then you would just be able to say "publishing my SSN caused me $100,000 in injuries, because that's what the law says it's worth at a minimum"
I responded to another poster on my OP. It's possible that he had the same source as you, and my first hit of it was readable. I'd like to merge the responses (so I don't have to maintain two threads.) But all these numbers are actually based on the other poster's links. Highlights - worldwide Apple went from 11.X% (2017) to 12.X% (2018); US Apple went from 43%(2016) to 44.3%(2018), and Apple feel to 3rd place overall from 2nd, because both it and other Android developers split up the dramatic loss (more than 10%) in market share by Samsung. I think the third point is irrelevant (since it ignores Apple vs. All Android is moving in Apple's favor), but the other poster seems to think it's very important.
I notice you accused me of backtracking without actually pointing it out. Seems rhetorically effective, but it's dishonest, I think you know it's dishonest, and a lie. Yes, paperwork is processed, but that doesn't mean services are operational. For instance, the fact that the FDA has some money left over from 2018 to do some approvals is a small caveat on a larger point... the shut down will prevent new approvals. If you discovered an cure for cancer right now, there is nothing you can do to get FDA approved.
You are right that Trump changed the position on shutting down outdoor parks (although the websites that host the official shutdown plans seem to in fact be shutting down). It's a pretty new change, so I wasn't aware of it. You can see it's causing issues.
Wrong, if they still had money they'd be providing services but they are not.
Yes, but money is running out. The Smithsonian and the National Zoo shut down today. Enjoy!
Right, they can fall to 8th and still be moving up in the iOS vs. Android fight. They can fall to 8th and still be doing better than they are now.
Apple fell to third because Samsung lost market share to both Apple and other Android developers. I don't know why you think that's bad for Apple. It's good! Both because it's better to have a competitive Android market fighting with themselves instead of a dominant player making monopoly profits, and because they don't really care whether you buy your non-Apple phone from Samsung or whoever, it literally doesn't effect their bottom line.
I'm not sure why a browser should be so damn complex. It seems unnecessary to me. Maybe if more webpages would just stick to HTML/CSS, there wouldn't be an issue, JS is what makes browsers difficult and annoying.
And up from 11% the year before. 1st, 2nd,3rd doesn't matter. Mathematically, Apple can fall to 8th, and still have moved up in "percent of phones sold".
Except the EPA isn't monitoring pollution
Companies are still legally responsible for pollution so it's not like they are doing to start while monitoring is suspended.
And when the EPA hasn't approved some process or equipment as complying, does the company shut down or run without approval (and thus be violating regulations). I suppose some can use old stuff. But yeah, I imagine a lot of companies will take advantage of this window to handle any disposal issues that they were stockpiling.
the FDA isn't approving drugs
Fake News, applications still being processed.
Did you even read your link? Yes, the applications that were started in 2018 for new drugs are being continued if there's enough money left in their dedicated accounts. No new drugs approvals are even being considered as of Jan 1 2019, and the companies that started approvals in 2018 cannot add more money to those dedicated accounts in 2019 to finish it.
Social Security is shut down (if you're on it you keep getting checks, but you cannot get on it)
Fake news, that kind of bullshit only happens under Democrats who want you to think the government is more important than it is or in fact stoppable. Applications will be processed, just with some delay.
Did you even read your link? It's talking about SSD, which while a component of SS is pretty small. It's talking about how hearings cannot be scheduled. And yes, paperwork is still being processed. However they cannot do the benefits validation until they're back. Which is a vital part to actually getting checks.
you can still update passports...
At consulates, not everywhere.
More fake news, can mail a passport in from anywhere to get renewed or apply at any USPS office
Yes, the mail service is still working. Yes the government didn't destroy all forms. But you cannot go to a passport office to get a passport. While some things can happen by mail, not all.
Most national parks have some pre-shutdown funding still available. They'll all be closed if this keeps going on
Takes money to shut down most parks. Why even close them? The stuff Obama did was just plain mean, like putting barricades around national monuments you could just walk up to. None of that happening this time.
Got it, you don't think they should shut down the parks. I mean, they will, because they do every shutdown. But this is just a "why". It's not happening yet cause there's still a little cash left in those accounts.
But yes, mothballing things does cost money. Government shutdowns tend to cost more than just keeping the government running, and they also don't produce the services we expect from government.
It's hard to notice a shutdown after a single week (or less since many programs had some leftover funds... the FCC/Smithsonian aren't shutting down until Wednesday and National Parks haven't shutdown yet either) between Christmas and New Years? How much interaction do you normally have with the federal government? How much normally happens between Christmas and New Years?
Basically "anything that is really at all useful carries on".
My guess is you never knew anything the FCC actually did, so you have no idea.
That's just for the FCC but the general trend carries across the whole government.
Except the EPA isn't monitoring pollution, the FDA isn't approving drugs, Social Security is shut down (if you're on it you keep getting checks, but you cannot get on it). Military, etc. as already fully funded, but if this keeps going on, there's a lot of programs that are going to start shutting down.
you can still update passports...

and most national parks are still open.
Most national parks have some pre-shutdown funding still available. They'll all be closed if this keeps going on. In the mean time, they've suspended trash pickup and restroom maintenance.
It's possible that this partial shutdown, since like 3/4 of the budget was already allocated, may go on for a while. But I doubt it. My guess is it'll be pretty obvious in a few weeks once the last few dollars run out and people get out of the holidays slowdown and want to do things that require a non-shutdown government.
It's not racism if it's about a political difference with the Chinese government. I can be opposed to the Soviet Union without being anti-Slav or opposed to the Nazis without being anti-Aryan.
I agree with accepting some degree of danger. But you of course are strawmaning. I also think that Times Square for NYE is an opt-in situation, with a high population density. I'm fine with different levels of acceptance for different people and situations. I'm fine with metal detectors and xrays in airports, to enter stadiums, etc.
I think breaking up the Soviet Union was a good thing, and the war in Afghanistan was a big part of it. And, I think we should have been in Afghanistan before 9/11. Religious fundamentalists running nations isn't great/
You then betray a misunderstanding of the difference between the Taliban and al Queda, a misunderstanding of al Queda's stated strategic goals (withdraw from the middle east was the easiest of their demands which also involved undoing global commerce), and a misunderstanding of what caused the development there.
Lastly, you talked about the Chinese as though they need to invade. They don't. Soft power is a thing. The US has a lot of it because we're active in the world. In a vaccuum, the Chinese will rise. Yuo think Google/MS/Apple/FB is bad now? Wait until the world slowly falls under the control of the Chinese alternatives. Because they will reinforce their power whenever they can. So, want to do business? Install QQ instead of WhatsApp. How long can the US economy stand isolated? They're already buying key properties throughout Asia and Africa to start stationing their forward operating bases.

I'm pretty sure MoviePass already died.
Most people I know only own one car. If it's a pickup truck, that's what they drive.
Violating the TOS, so call it publishing a hacking tool, or accessory to violations of the computer fraud and abuse act.
I findYouTube as bad as most competitors when it comes to stuttering/needing to buffer. I mean major competitors. Startups, even ones with piles of cash, are significantly worse.
Why should it not cost cash? It takes time and money to create that app, and keep it up to date as ad tech evolves.
I do wonder if there'd be a lawsuit if someone built such an app.

Do the Indian iPhones have Lightening or USB-C? Headphone jacks? I haven't heard about them, have a link?
Reading and spelling are not the same skill. Thanks for point out my error.

Ford and GM don't. When another small upstart (that will probably eventually be purchased by Ford or GM) starts up, it'll need the help.
