In April 2014 it was reported that U.S. regulators were close to approving V2V standards for the U.S. market, and that officials were planning for the technology to become mandatory by 2017
That combined with new mandatory CAN Buss in every car. A cop will be able to roll by you and know you've had a taillight out for 3 weeks without fixing it. You'll get a ticket on our cellphone. That's progress for you:-)
I just got a message from the present. This will never be allowed because I will definitely put a monitoring device in my vehicle showing where all of the cops are as soon as the data is publicly available.
They never said it would be made public. In fact, you can rest assured that should there be an "incident" the data would be promptly lost in a routine software update by mistake much like Dashcam and security videos are often lost today.
It read:...and the police have been using this system for several years without a problem. Why not apply it to the general public for the sake of safety...
That's not true. You're applying popular culture stereotypes to reality. For example, when I was a teenager, I had long hair and was into metal like Slayer and King Diamond. As a result many people thought I was a devil worshiper. Of course I wasn't... It makes no logical sense to worship the devil. lol
The same goes for Black popular culture. The bad guys are glamorized. Most black youth are no more robbers and thugs than I was a devil worshiper. I suspect that if you compared white crime with black crime, money stolen by whites would completely dwarf crime committed by blacks. Bernie Madoff anyone? Why does a 16yr old black kid deserve any more attention than some accountant in the same parking lot that's been embezzling money from his work for the past 3yrs? The police have no better of a chance at catching either of them with evidence on them.
Exactly... try your card in other doors while you're at it. I've been in multiple hotels where ANY card from the same hotel would open ANY door. The only real security they had was that the patrons thought the doors were locked so they didn't bother trying!
I've had my house broken into before. You live in the same terrifying world I do. Most robberies involve drunk teenagers just trying front doors to see if they're unlocked. Sometimes they stumble into a surprised owner and things get out of hand. My uncle used to leave the door to his very rural house unlocked 24/7... that is until he woke up at 3am with a meth addict standing over him asking for a glass of water one night. An ounce of prevention...
Until you're gone for the day at... whatever it is you went there for... and they take said handgun, use it for a crime and then put it back. A hotel room is the absolute last place I'd leave mine.
Yea no... you sign a waver when you check in. They could fill your room with wild hyenas and all that'd happen is your estate would get charged for cleaning the blood off the walls.
It doesn't matter. The current card security system is as about as insecure as it could possibly get and still have a door in the frame.
After an incident at a hotel a few years ago where our door lock failed and ruined our stay... and a subsequent discussion with their maintenance man about how the card systems work I had a suspicion and tried my card on the room across the hall. Low and behold my card would work on any room in the building. Since then I've made a habit of testing my card on random, seemingly vacant rooms at other hotels. To my surprise I've had it actually work several times.
Now I deadbolt it when I'm in the room, and don't leaving anything valuable in there at all. I even keep my suitcase in the trunk when I leave if I have my car there. The hotel I had my honeymoon in didn't have a deadbolt or chain. Sure enough, the morning after our wedding cleanign tried to come in. Lucky for me I'm super paranoid so she just ended up slamming the door into the mini-fridge I'd slid in front of the door the previous night. Before I even had my pants on she was down there with their security manager trying to force the door open. I yelled "Go talk to the front desk before you break into my room morons" before forcing the door shut with my foot and holding it. They weren't happy. I now carry a wedge shaped piece of oak with me to any hotel.
The tidal currents are also completely carbon-free
This myth needs to end. There is no such thing as a "Carbon free" energy source. Some are worse than others obviously. But very large, very heavy materials will need to be used to construct those turbines. Mines will get dug, parts will get shipped, maintenance will need to occur.
Solar is the real eye opener and should serve as a lesson on blindly trusting hype and "What seems obvious." Solar panels are terrible for the environment, yet most people don't have a clue. Keep in mind, this chart does not include waste generated by actually collecting the power. That's why oil doesn't look so horrible. Nor does it take into account the environmental impact of hydroelectric damns. If you factor all that in, Nuclear is the least damaging to the environment but people are afraid of it so...
Can't be Obamacare failures, loss of press freedom, lowest labor force participation in many decades, incompetence on Ebola, lack of plans for ISIS, overweening regulation, politicization of DoJ and IRS, extrajudicial killings of US citizens, crony capitalism bailouts of banks and GM, increasing levels of poverty, highest levels of food stamp use ever.
Naaah, none of that. It's gotta be just Harry Reid.
Sorry no, I don't think it's any of that. I think Silicon Valley just suddenly realized they're businesses and Democrats are openly hostile to business unless it's selling solar power or organic produce.
I am part of the black community. My sons black, I'm white. I go to "The Black American PTA meetings" as well as all of the black heritage festivals/meetings/conferences (and let me tell you, there are a LOT of them) even blended family clinics, and all that sort of stuff. The lack of black leaders and trying to get the community to stop idealizing sports stars is usually at the top of their agenda. Barrack Obama getting elected was probably the most important thing to ever happen to the black community in this country. My son has literally asked me to paint him white before. That's a hard thing for a father to take. My kids a handsome guy, and when he gets older the ladies will really dig him. But when he looks up to adults, who out there is successful and brown? Now I can point to the most powerful man in the free world and his skins the same shade.
As far as racism goes... yes. It's a big problem. Having a black son makes it abundantly clear. In the white community there's a lot of stupidity. "Why didn't you just get a kid from Murica!" and stuff like that. The only overt racism I've run into as been from the black community. But it was very few and far between and I only had one incident where the person flat out said I shouldn't be allowed to have that child, etc... But I chose to take that as concern for my son and took it in a positive light. They were hating on me and not my kid. I can deal with that.
Things might change when he's older. He's only 6 now. But he will have to get warned about the police. Now that I'm more concerned with the problem I see directly what the police do. The other day I went to the mall and the highschool let out for lunch so kids were walking through the parking lot to get to the food court. Cops rolled up on the 2 clicks of black males. None of the white kids were bothered. I started walking over to the squad car and then thought better of it.
Yeah, it's much easier to dismiss an article based on history than to engage with the actual arguments and numbers that are presented./s
If the mob showed up at your door and asked to see the bookkeeping for your business and then asked "Why not? What do you have to hide?" I think that the history of the mobs behavior towards other businesses would be quite relevant. And that's exactly what's happening here.
read that... Most civil rights leaders are good people. But Jessi Jackson and Al Sharpton are crooks. Sharpton should literally be in prison. Those 2 have done more to harm the black community than any other modern political leader.

That was terrible. It's only saving grace was skinny Santa Clause. I had no idea he was in Cirque du Soleil.

This doesn't have Tidal on it but you can bet it will fall somewhere between wind and solar.

The Muppet's had a drill?!?! Was it a Gonzo stunt? I'm even more confused now.
However, in Japan, most mass evacuations involve Godzilla. So yea... run.

Right, he may very well have been trying to save it by doing that. Or scrambling unsuccessfully to find the eject lever.

That organization has embodied weaponized identity politics to such an extent that an article quoting them non-ironically deserves dismissal.

Both Labor and Liberals support this. Its going to happen no matter who you vote for.
No-one wins in a 2 party system.
Well, hey, at least they have the 2nd amendment so they can revolt if the government gets too out of hand right?
