There is always one of these posts for every story about wearables. I put money down for an original Pebble on Kickstarter (that I still wear) because I commuted by train from an outdoor stop. The trains are sometimes delayed, and I want to see their status (which I scraped at the time from a public API) in the winter without taking my gloves off to dig around in my pocket for my phone.
I have a hackable wrist computer I bought for a hundred bucks. It doesn't have a lot of screen, CPU, or memory, but I can do whatever I please with it, and the battery lasts a week.
I'm curious about your pickup truck concept. In my head, I'm imagining a somewhat-flattened cigar shape. I rather suspect that parking would be a bear, and that there'd be a serious possibility for rollovers.
Totally serious question: Don't cops follow the vampire law of doorways (they can't come in unless invited), except in the case of a warrant? I thought if you invited a random stranger home from a bar that it was on you if s/he turned out to be a cop and you had $contraband on your sofa. Are they not allowed to misrepresent themselves to get into your house?
Aren't you the guy who told everybody two threads up that this is idle, click-baity speculation? If so, why are you suddenly all about defending the branded adapters?
A couple stories ago, I read one of your posts saying that you don't only post on Apple stories, but somehow it's only the Apple ones where I notice.
It protects you by preventing dangerous people from spreading ideas to their family members in Minneapolis over the vulnerable Thanksgiving weekend. Ideas can't be detected with a scanner**. You want to be protected from that, don't you?
I take three issues with your post (the other points I think are accurate):
(1) Trump is not self-funded. He just asked for $100k in "emergency" donations. (2) Lots of money doesn't make anyone inherently less susceptible to bribery. It might or might not raise the bar for how much a bribe would have to be, but it doesn't follow that having money negates the desire for money. (3) Trump has plenty to gain from becoming president. Even if you leave aside stoking his own ego, he has a bully pulpit (and influence on the GOP) to lobby for (a) more favorable libel laws, something he has already insinuated; (b) more favorable property laws, which could hold enormous benefit for a real estate magnate; think zoning, eminent domain, and the like.
If there's a reward system, all it will take is one moderately determined misanthrope to crash all the buses. And when I say "crash," I mean the in the "car analogy" sense.
Is that personal or household? Looking at your source link was inconclusive. The word "taxpayers" seems to indicate individuals, but some of the footnotes mention "tax returns" which could be individual or married-filing-jointly.
This is true, to a degree. I do not think that it is completely valid, though. If you turn off WiFi as well as disabling location access, maybe you can avoid tracking. If you leave WiFi on, though, all the store needs to do is establish a WiFi access point with a unique SSID provided to (or by) Facebook. The app can sniff for connections and put you at the scene.

Maybe those missile defenses are supposed to protect Central America from Russian launches, and Putin's upset about that.
I kid, of course. Thanks for those Great Circles.
Okay, but they don't get to out-vote the people who actually live in the dry county.
Right now I'm just looking at getting a cheap chromebook that converts to a table and running android apps on it.
You'll be pleased to know, then, that we're also working on a chromebook that converts to a chair!

The vast majority of people with 401k plans will not have nearly enough money to retire by age 70.
Maybe that's because they're doing it wrong. You do actually have to save some money for "having a 401k" to work.
I may have to eat my unverified assertion, but I thought that a Chinese firm bought Land Rover.
... is to hire Hell's Angles as your security
The enforcement is acutely felt. Wassamatta? Am I being obtuse?

I came here to shill the same link.

** Yet. I'm sure that's being rectified.
I have already built this API. Any TLA can query it. There is a small bug remaining: every message is translated into "dog".
Sample Request:
//message-decription.api/<your-tld>/<originator-id>/<recipient-id>?key=<your-api-key>&offset=<number>
Sample Response:
[{"date":"2016-06-17T04:16:42.540Z","message":"bark bark bark bark. bark bark. bark bark bark bark bark."}, {...}, ...]
Is this because you added it to OSM yourself?
Being murdered for being dead is way worse.
On the plus side, there's way less paperwork for murdering dead people.

If you've been living there the whole time your present circumstances have been brewing... maybe you've been voting for the wrong lizards?

This is a feature, not a bug, in the eyes of FB. They want you to spend more time there, not less.
Fortunately for Assange, even Trump isn't crazy enough to declare war on Ecuador.
I don't think that's been conclusively proven. Just wait until $ecuadorean_leader writes a mean tweet about him.
Supposedly unless you have the Nexus 5X or 6P. (Also 6?)
Guys! Guys! This firing solution predicts the future for my trebuchet projectiles.
This was interesting. Are the numbers for RAM similar to the SSDs?
