Mod up for truthiness! I worked for a used car lot and their business works similarly.
Buy the way they buy from each other (dealers sell used vehicles back and forth directly and at dealer auctions). Know your product, decide what it's worth to you, and don't buy out of lust.
Also, unless you are rich, avoid new vehicles and instead buy clean private party vehicles you first have inspected elsewhere. Letting someone else eat the depreciation is a great tactic.
While I'd love to have my local welder supply open on weekends. they aren't equipped with safe separate areas for filling gaseous hydrogen tanks on vehicles.
You'd need something laid out like a gas station unless the vehicles were equipped to carry standard cylinders in which case swaps wouldn't be technically difficult. I don't see that working well thoughas conventional high pressure cylinders are thick and heavy.
Semi-OT but interesting vintage NASA liquid hydrogen gear. Love the violin "tuning method":
It doesn't matter what (some) Anarchists prefer in an (a)narchic situation. Like Communism, the very system or lack thereof is so perfect for hijacking by (inevitable) "Bolsheviks" that is what will happen. Nature isn't anarchy. Animal society is not anarchy. Evolution doesn't select for anarchic systems. Chimps have order, elephants have order, chickens have order, bees have order.
Go make Anarchism work on any scale larger than a small commune and do it for a sustained period of time. Shit, do it on a commune for a sustained period of time. That's tough enough.
Any system which doesn't work in practice is scornworthy.
"Booze buses don't take DNA as saliva or blood... and they sure as f#&k aren't run by contractors."
Yet.
The new "anti-bikie" laws (conveniently written to include everyone) in Australia demonstrate that your government protects you as little as the US Federal and State governments do Yanks.
FLOSS can change the cost indeed, if it's audited.
Long term costs of using Windows software include certain NSA and other US government backdoors. The Snowden revelations mean that the expectation of these is completely reasonable.
US commercial software can no longer be trusted and it is negligent for governments, businesses, and individuals not wishing to be pwned to run it. At all. Citizens of non-US countries should do everything they can to end the use of US commercial software including Microsoft products if they value their freedom.
They way they can do it in future is to invoke the argument that every piece of Microsoft software from the US is HIGHLY likely to have been influenced by the NSA which is an arm of the same corporate industrial complex.
The Snowden revelations underscore the argument that the US government is utterly corrupt, engages in economic espionage, and that the EU should put serious and sustained effort into avoiding "enemy" software.
The statements above can no longer be considered even remotely controversial. Anyone in the EU who advocates Free and Open Software has been given the perfect advocacy tool.
Any time anyone advocates the use of Windows for EU government or business functions, hit them hard and relentlessly with the security argument. There being zero logical support for trusting what you cannot verify, they lose.
You may want another recipient to collect the bounty while you do what you otherwise do not mind doing, or may even be inclined to do. The world is a diverse place.
New technology frightens dumbfucks (no more respectful term is deserved, we are in a high-tech age and anyone, especially legislators, who doesn't make a vigorous and sustained effort to understand it is a worthless person) so da scawy printer is controversial while the lathe and milling machine are not.
A hobby-grade lathe-mill combo can turn out modern metal weapons. Most classic weapon designs predate computer-controlled machine tools, meaning a very basic lathe with an attachment to hold items on the cross-slide for milling would do the job. It could, and in the past has, also produced the tooling to make cases, bullets, primers and rifled barrels.
The more laws we have the greater the certainty that everyone is violating at least one, providing the excuse for the Schumers of the world to lock them up.
Both US political parties love this shit, which is why both are dire threats to your liberties....for your own goo...
"But the C.I.A. and other American spy agencies, as well as the Pentagon, suspect that the monitor stations would give the Russians a foothold on American territory that would sharpen the accuracy of Moscow's satellite-steered weapons"
Begging the question "aren't current nukes sufficiently accurate"?
The smart countermeasure would be to monitor the monitoring stations and be ready to destroy them at no notice. Have both HERF/jamming and explosive capability available.
Defensive measures are themselves very dangerous and only to be used in combat or tightly controlled exercise conditions. Shooting up a nearby ship with CIWS would do much more damage than crashing a smallish UAV into it.
It's easy. I post no speech which is illegal and do not have exploitable personal information of a political or sexual nature anywhere on the internet. My financial transactions by credit card are suitably protected.
Were I to want to do anything subversive, my observable behaviors would be camouflage. The Illuminati are welcome to read this post. I've left no dots to connect. I'm not a subversive, but I do read history and note that there were plenty of those prior to the internet which suggests one doesn't need the internet to be one.
Any, but I'd pot the thing in epoxy inside a metal shell and it wouldn't be user-accessible other than a simple non-root interface to change price per gallon and any other required functions.
If it breaks, throw it away and replace it. If faults are found in the future, ship a later version and swap 'em out.
Never, ever put anything in "cyberspace" you don't want the world to know. There is no "security", and any offer of that should logically be regarded as a trap.
Stop wanting dumb things. If you never, ever, put compromising info in the control of someone else then it cannot be handed off under coercion because it doesn't exist to be handed off. This situation is no different than handing off a paper copy of (information) in the pre-internet days and expecting it to be proof against warrant or subpoena.
The US has a heritage of freedom precisely because Colonials were willing to give an armed, violent ugly middle finger to their lawful government, and kill sufficient British, Hessians, and Tories to chase them off. Being able to kill bad masters is a beautiful thing and well worth maintaining. If you cannot kill a bad master you are at their mercy and nothing will ever change that reality.
BTW the Syrian rebels have put up quite a fight against Assad, and the American public own more firearms than there are Syrian people.

The reason for spending huge effort chasing tiny loss rates is that people are afraid to fly but not afraid of things likely to kill them.
Automated flight ops are doing so well that involving meatbags more in operations may cost more lives than it's intended to save.

Wait until their "anti-bikie laws" are used against the general population, for which use they are appropriately written.

"If you want to compliment her for real; Why don't you express respect for her accomplishment, and leave her sexual attractiveness off the table?"
Because he's a stereotype autist/Asspie of the sort best avoided by all genders? That sort are incapable of "getting" why they are fucked up.

Why do you hate rivers?
"Father: It was a car company. They went out of business screwing their customers over."
They used to make junk even worse than old Fiats and it didn't survive US driving conditions, so here at least that's true.

They should never recover and deserve "excommunication" as punishment.
