    Googling-up Honda+defective+transmissions clearly exceeds to the capacity of your intellect. The sixth resultsixth result was more than relevant.

    Dumb, lazy fuck.

  2. Honda was awesome, up until recently. When they knowingly installed defective transmissions in hundreds of thousands of Accords and Odysseys, and then lied about it for years, they demonstrated to the world that we're obviously past peak Honda.

    The moral of the story? One is not supposed to keep secrets from one's rulers.

  4. Self driving cars already have a significantly lower rate of death/injury per mile than human driven cars.

    To be fair, they mostly have a rate of zero deaths/injuries per mile but it takes a special sort of moron to ignore the obvious reason why.

    This kind of nonsense has been going on since Diffie and Helman found a way to secure our freedom to communicate in private electronically...

    This kind of nonsense has been going on since before the Church brainwashed everyone into thinking that God wants them to "confess everything" to the Powers That Be.

    Rhis activity will largely occurr beneath the biosphere. However, some microscopic and 'arthropodic' organisms are likely to perish.

    Wasting the resources and energy on an "environmental study" is itself arguably detrimental to the environment.

    However, some "beyond rigorous" geological/seismological studying wouldn't be a terrible idea...

  15. People voted for the Orange Roughy because they feared for their jobs; this just proves that their fears were well-founded.*

    Trump is the epitome of low hanging fruit; an easy target if there ever was one... and yet his myriad detractors continue to flail around in utter confusion, continually failing to get it.
