What possible exonerating reason could he have for wearing the earbuds?
To keep his ear canals warm?
Good question! How about earplugs or sonic protection (to protect against loud noises), rolled up gauze if you have an ear infection, or (and yes this is Canada) ear muffs that actually are to keep your ears warm?
The judge probably did not want to have to think too hard about any other implications. Leave it for another case. Keeps cops and judges employed.
No worries about petrol stations since I can run an extension chord from literally any place I'm parked at.
Haha. That will scale well.
Back when I drove a plow I had a huge collection of extension cords from people who thought the same. No EVs in those days, just dumb people with block heaters.
.....one day. No range issues. No worries about finding plugs or any need to even consider charge levels. No concerns about -35C affecting battery performance in the winter.
About zero percent chance I would buy an EV anytime soon, but hey if you like them have at it. Variety is good.
Still fully expect my next car to be a shiny new ICE powered one regardless. Not much for performance oriented hybrids in my price range. Yet.
Well, speaking from Canada, I have bought black market booze in the past, but not recently. Still, I could get black market booze, cigarettes,and all sorts of drugs within 24 hours easily. Things like guns might take a few days and would entail more risk. Before we legalized MJ last fall it was trivial to find.
I'm not saying there will be neighborhood bag pushers - it will be more like I said, online from Shenzhen. I just put some non-DOT approved light bulbs in my car recently (the horror!) The mail system can't stop everything that could possibly be illegal. Most of our Fentanyl epidemic comes from China FFS.
Fact is, if I go to Superstore to buy bags, they are going to cost 5 or 10 bucks for a box that will last some finite amount of time. If I spend $50 on Alibaba, I'll have bags forever. There is much to be said for purchasing in bulk LOL.
they are going to make the watermark "more detectable in noisy environments" without making it more detectable to the listener. There is already much discussion of how current watermarks are commonly audible in otherwise high fidelity music files.
Of course, nobody is ever going to use Alexa for anything remotely related to hifi, but this is certainly not something we would want to see spread anywhere else.

You're comparing worldwide sales to US registrations, derp.
You fail.
In 2018, Ford sold 909,330 F-Series pickups in the U.S. alone. In 2017, Americans purchased 896,764. And in 2016, U.S. car dealers sold 820,799.

Derp back at you. Fucking ACs sure are dumb.
There were 208,000 new registrations for electric vehicles in the U.S. last year
That's less than a quarter of the number of F150s Ford sells in a year.

Pepsi hasn't owned KFC, Taco Bell or Pizza Hut (you forgot them) since 1997.

Only the dumb ones......... The rest of us who are competent will be stick to libertarianism forever.
Sometimes they just write themselves.

People who are "hurt" by words need to grow the fuck up and stop trying to micro-manage everybody else from expressing an opinion.
I tend toward agreement.
Then I think about people like Joseph Goebbels and start to waver........
any place at all where speech is truly free is going to be flooded with hatred trying to drown out everything else.
It's unfortunate, and I don't have a solution, but it is an incontrovertible fact of life.
No worries.
I once tried running a web forum with no moderation at all. It did not work out well.

Also my remote off-grid cabin in the mountains only has solar panels.
You are totally the first person I think of when I envision the typical consumer.

You won't have a tank
I'll take that bet.
Then a quarter. Then worthless.
Excellent. That will make it cheaper to fill my tank then.
Corals will still be around long after all the Anonymous Cowards have died off as well.
Like reffing a game you are a player in.
I don't quite understand why I can't mod if I post.
That is quite why enough.
Billion. With a B.
That is how long corals have been around.
If you think driving SUVs is going to be the death of them you are an idiot.
I still think all these new TLDs are a stupid idea.
I agree completely. Now that *.tld and *.*.tld are no longer enough, we have *.*.*
Might as well just get rid of the dots entirely.
So where are the ads for openly programmable computers these days?
I think this space is now occupied by the likes of Raspberry Pi, Arduino, etc.
Even NASA has no real choice but to admit that.

Of course we are all doomed regardless.
Allow me to introduce you to the phrase "works with Alexa", already featured in TVs and A/V receivers.
I don't think that really changes my premise at all.
I'll never understand why people worship NYC. I don't want to be within 500 miles of it, personally.
Technology will make it's way to Birmingham soon enough.

You would obviously be surprised the things one can buy "under the table".
