By saying "give up on space" you are completely ignoring all the space activities the US is engaged in.
Calling Uberisky for a ride to the ISS was a way to save money, nothing to do with giving up on space.
Note what my original comment said, refusing a BAC test AFTER being arrested is a poor choice. You've already been arrest, you are going to jail, refusing doesn't keep you out of jail.
Florida's implied consent law does not involve a "large machine down at the police station".
Refusing a BAC test will not get you off in Florida, it will get your license suspended and refusal to submit can be used against you in court.
In addition, refusing a BAC test will likely lead to a warrant to draw your blood so refusing merely postpones the inevitable. Don't do the FST (Field Sobriety Test), do submit to a request to test you BAC in the field.
316.1932âfTests for alcohol, chemical substances, or controlled substances; implied consent; refusal.â"
(1)(a)1.a.âfAny person who accepts the privilege extended by the laws of this state of operating a motor vehicle within this state is, by so operating such vehicle, deemed to have given his or her consent to submit to an approved chemical test or physical test including, but not limited to, an infrared light test of his or her breath for the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of his or her blood or breath if the person is lawfully arrested for any offense allegedly committed while the person was driving or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages. The chemical or physical breath test must be incidental to a lawful arrest and administered at the request of a law enforcement officer who has reasonable cause to believe such person was driving or was in actual physical control of the motor vehicle within this state while under the influence of alcoholic beverages. The administration of a breath test does not preclude the administration of another type of test. The person shall be told that his or her failure to submit to any lawful test of his or her breath will result in the suspension of the personâ(TM)s privilege to operate a motor vehicle for a period of 1 year for a first refusal, or for a period of 18 months if the driving privilege of such person has been previously suspended as a result of a refusal to submit to such a test or tests, and shall also be told that if he or she refuses to submit to a lawful test of his or her breath and his or her driving privilege has been previously suspended for a prior refusal to submit to a lawful test of his or her breath, urine, or blood, he or she commits a misdemeanor in addition to any other penalties. The refusal to submit to a chemical or physical breath test upon the request of a law enforcement officer as provided in this section is admissible into evidence in any criminal proceeding.
Taking the optional Field Sobriety Test (FST) is never a good idea.
Not doing the Breathalyzer test after being arrested in Florida is also not a good idea as it results in the automatic suspension of your license and your refusal to take the test can be used against you in court. In addition, it doesn't prevent the police from obtaining a warrant to draw your blood and determine your BAC.
How much of that $750,000 fine goes to the people who had to pay $80/day for Internet service because they couldn't use their WiFi hotspot?
I'm going to guess the answer is $0
It wasn't even 10 cents worth, if he charged it for an hour it would be a fraction of a penny. Next up, arrests for abstracting power from lights with your solar powered calculator,
Every 6 across plane I fly on has at least 18 seats in Economy that don't have a reclining seat in front of them. Instead of whining about people reclining their seats why don't you simply choose a flight/seat that suits your needs?
EV's don't deep cycle their batteries, they are very good at managing useage to meet the 10 yr/100k mile warranty requirement for the battery pack.
No need to give you an 8yr/100k battery warranty because there is no good reason to purchase an EV when you can lease them at more advantageous terms right now. If you are worried about being at 60% battery capacity after 3 years, don't be. The Nissan Leaf is guaranteeing "9 bars" (presumably 90%) for 5 years and 60,000 miles.
I've owned an EV for over a year, I've never been stuck at a charging station for hours. Most is 9 minutes but that was just to try out a DC fast charger.
I used to drive an ICE. Had to refuel once a week. 15 minutes from pulling off the road, into the pump, swiping card, filling up,... That's 13 hours a year I spent filling up. Now I park my EV in the garage, get out, plug in and go do something else. No more stopping for 30 minutes 4x a year for an oil change either.
I'm not rich, or poor, but happen to find leasing a brand new vehicle with $0 in repair/maintenance costs over 3 years other than tires for $80/mo to be an example of excellent money skills.
Price, cheaper to lease than ICE equivalent (Chevy Spark EV)
Range, meets 95% of my needs, I rent a vehicle 3-4 times a year for the other trips
Recharge time, every morning it has a full "tank" and a stop at a fast DC charger takes 10 minutes to recharge
Oh, there also happen to be recharge stations all over town but 90% of the time I just plug it in when I'm home and don't bother recharging elsewhere
The EPA gives you a very clear idea of what fuel will cost on EVERY new vehicle sold, including EVs, just look at the sticker.
They also have an MPGe (MPG equivalent) which is based on a specific power cost and gas cost. Of course it varies, I pay 15 cents net/kWh and gas is $3.25/gal. My vehicle goes 4.5 miles on 1 kWh of power (on average) and assuming my charging circuit is 90% efficient that means I am paying roughly 4 cents in electricity to travel 1 mile. Over 1000 miles/mo that is $40 in power. If your gas vehicle averages 30mpg and you pay $3.25/gal then you would be pay $108/mo to travel the same distance.
Imagine going on a road trip where it only takes 10 minutes to recharge your EV. Most EV's on the road today can be purchased with fast charge capability using DC charging stations.
Not that I'm interested in taking my EV on an extended road trip when rental car companies are happy to let me rent one of their vehicles to rack up lots of miles in a few days.
There are no "hidden costs", you lease them just like any other vehicle. You can put nothing down, you can get a lease for 10k miles/yr or 12k or 15k or 20k.
WIth the subsidies in California you can be paying NET less than $100/mo for your lease, no money down, and getting the equivalent of > 100mpg (more or less depending on your cost of electricity, free for some, more expensive for others).
At 1000 miles/mo and using 100mpge at $3.25/gal the cost per mile is about 13 cents. While you amortized the purchase price of your car over 200k miles you neglected repair and maintenance costs. For a new EV those are approx $0 over the 3 year 36k mile lease. The scheduled maintenance on my EV consists of rotating the tires over the first 36k miles. Over your 200k miles you will be paying for a lot of tires, oil changes, brakes, transmissions, belts, batteries,... Add about another 10 cents/mile for those costs.
"Besides most electric batteries require more than 120 AC voltage to charge."
Name one
Every EV I'm aware of is fully capable of being charged using a 120VAC outlet.
It was an ultimatum from Apple, accept our terms or your music won't be on our service.

She deserves a lot of credit for doing what she did.
Having the legal right to do something does not mean people don't have the right to protest. Taylor Swift spoke up and Apple changed. A much better approach than your suggestion that people just STFU.
The terms of the loan spell out the consequences for defaulting. You will have to give back the house and depending on what state you live in you can either then wash your hands of the remaining amount owed or will owe the difference between what the lender can sell the house for and what you owed.
With a student loan the lender can't repossess your education so student loan contracts specify that you can't abrogate the debt. If you don't like the terms, don't borrow the money.
He's 58 years old, if he had an MS in EE he would have made enough money to pay off his student loans 30 years ago.

Is pursing "money for gains" different than pursuing money for the rent, electric bill or diapers? Life is like diapers, one size doesn't fit all.
