GM Volt: oil change minimum of 2 years or 10K miles. Engine air cleaner every 4 years. Not much else on the engine side until 150K miles.
I had Gen 1 and now Gen 2. I have not put gas in this year. Last tank was on my Christmas trip back from Boston to Rochester. Still have 60 miles of fuel left. GM pressurizes the tank to keep the gas from getting stale and runs a periodic maintenance of the engine to burn a tank a year and slosh the oil around. My commute is about 30 miles round trip. This is within the worse case range during the winter cold, where my range is about 38 miles electric. Could do a bit better, but I used some electrons to make the cabin warm on the cold days.
Until we have instant electric charge, this is a great combination.
I know lots of working VB6 code that will need to be redone because Microsoft deleted the language. First rule of software development, use no Microsoft specific tech. The replacement language Visual Fred (VB.NET) converted 80% OK and left 20% as to fix. The fix requires you to restructure lots of the converted code as they didn't "port" over many of the original concepts that made VB6 productive.
With my 2014 Volt, I filled up 33 times in 4.5 years for around 60000 miles of driving for a lifetime 271 MPG. Only time I use gas was long trips, very cold weather or forgetting to plug in when I get home. My new 2019 Volt has a longer range, doesn't start the gas motor in cold weather so I will fill up less often. I charge at work and home, and usually leave with a whole tank of electrons. GM has studies that show most round trips are under 30 miles. For 100 mile or so EV's you most likely don't need to charge every night. For long trips, use the gas savings to rent a dino-burner if you have pure EV. For Volt type cars with gas range extending, you just drive like a dino-car for those long trips.

If you have a large pool of well written, debugged, in production, code you cannot possibly justify re-writing it in.NET. It takes a lot of man hours to convert this code just to do a conversion. Those hours are better spent making the next product/feature/whatever as the return on investment is negative. Deleting VB6 as a language as well as other MSFT FUs cements me into never using or depending on anything MSFT.
I was ROFL the other day looking at a venue's message board with Win 10's - "reboot to continue installation" in the middle of the display.
That's easy, because the Republicans don't want the wall either. I honestly can't remember, did the GOP ever even deliver him a budget to veto? I know they were getting shot down by the senate even before they made it to him. If GOP congress, with a GOP senate and a GOP president can't pass a budget, I fear this will be a very long shutdown.
I do wonder just how divided can things get before they just implode?
You forget the R(ussian) Party's other branch, Faux News (Hannity, Coulter,....) didn't like the end of year resolution. Dems have been burned too many times. See 2017 DACA deal: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...
USB Serial can introduce a serious 1 or more millisecond lag. FTDI, a very popular USB-Serial bridge chip, has default 16ms delay until transmitting its serial data when it has received less than 64 characters. MIDI characters send at around 0.32 milliseconds a character, so this would cause a delay of 20milliseconds.
I work with USB based motion controls for CNC and pick and place machines. With all the USB-Serial bridge chips out there are some seriously detrimental real-time issues such as: latency timers (FTDI 16ms for example), then the is the resync from USB 1.x devices connected to USB 2 hubs, or even USB 3 hubs. Then you get Windows involved, add more. Native serial ports connected to the PC bus work well. I have seen horrendous delay/latency issues hooking our equipment to a USB port on the front panel of a PC. Put certain USB 2 hubs in series, you get a different set of latency, sometime better. Then there is the noise issue. The differential USB signalling is better than the single-ended RS232 type, but probably not arc welding friendly. The MIDI current loop is pretty good with that regards as well as getting rid of those pesky ground loops.
DirectTV streaming is shit. You are forced to watch "the embedded commercial", what feels like a 1000 times without the ability to skip. By this I mean each show will have one or two commercial segments. These identical commercials are forced, without fast-forward, to be viewed at least 5-10 times during the show. Can't finish the show, you are forced to watch it all over again, including "the commercial" 5-10 times to get to the spot you got interrupted at.
I make a note to never use that sponsor for the rest of my life!
There were plenty of contamination events on the other side when the NASA astronauts visited in the '70s. I am pretty sure we didn't sterilize them or their equipment. I suspect there are containers of "waste" left behind to lighten the load to bring back the rocks and dust.
Republican sabotage. The ACA is basically insurance, implemented by the F'd up insurance industry. As insurance you need as many healthy and unhealthy people in the pool to make actuarial sense. The GOP killed the ability for insurance co-ops to exist in a meaningful manner to avoid competition with incumbents, sued any and every part of it they could think. GOP states didn't take medicare expansion, to keep pool down and end user costs up. Shorten the enrollment period, shut the federal exchange down on Sundays for "maintenance", remove the penalty for not signing up to keep pool low, costs up.
For gods sake medicare itself is not allowed to negotiate drug prices and have to pay what the F'd up pharma industry want to gouge us for.

You just negated your argument when you said "Same means Same" and the minority + coalition rule. In your case a non-popular minority can never achieve "Same mean Same" status. If "Same means Same" means a living/breathing homosapien stripped of color/religion/lack of religion/sex orientation-attraction/gender/weight/height/eye color/hair color/etc then you have me. We need to ignore or tolerate the stuff we don't like more.
With CDNs they only need to feed a more locally hosted "big DVRs" within the ISP infrastructure once. Problem is the ISP people won't let them do this an only want to charge Netflix to receive said data multiple times instead of the once to cache the "big DVR."
1) Use tax dollars to build the road, 2) then privatize until said road until it falls apart or kills people when a bridge fails 3) Bailout to that private company to fix, profit! Fixed that for you.
Except that we all pay into social security & medicare and they are self funding. The CONservatives want to empty out what people payed in and give it to the rich. A whole other thing. Other than poor people, the ACA is just a wet dream for insurance companies as the law says you must BUY health insurance from a private company or get taxed. Defense is just graft for the military industrial complex. Heed Eisenhower.
I thought Symantec was that place for good software to be killed. We are looking at Ghost & Partition Magic back in the day. 100% reliable with the original developers, shiite afterwards.
They have a Fedora based kid environment. Haven't played with in years. I got use this with the laptop I got when I donated to the cause. The unit is cute and has some interesting mesh networking features built in.
This circle thing is a bit weird but, kind of works.
Social Security and Medicare are payed in "entitlements", you pay in young, draw out when older. We are entitled to the money we payed in. It scales with the amount you pay in. Wars and such are expenses and discretionary, money that might as well be burnt in a bonfire.
500-700 people sounds terrible on the surface. How many people are taking this drug? 700 out of million no so bad, 700 out of 800 very bad. The article does not give the population of people taking this drug. Not to defend this drug company, I must pointing out you need more data to proclaim this stuff bad. Critical thinking peoples.

I guess any device that uses HDMI is out, as the encryption keys are in the wild now. Airplay uses AES encryption so it is not in the clear either.
We had phone/internet outage on CenturyLink aka Level3 around then. Putting on tin-foil hat, maybe they were related.
I only put ethanol free fuel in as well. Not sure why pressurized. Maybe it keeps atmospheric moisture from intruding to gel the ethanol gas?

Obviously you have not been to Buffalo or Cleveland in a while. House prices are rising pretty good right now in Buffalo.
That you need to pay an extra fee to take advantage of. FTFY.

They would add ads every minute and self-promotions. "WWV all the time all the time", "This minute brought to you by Coca-Cola",.......
