Even when all I had was a set of physical encyclopedias and no internet access, it was not unusual for me to pass the time by flipping a volume open and seeing if I could find something interesting to read.
Likewise. I can also spend hours "surfing" Wikipedia. Start on one topic, click some links to expand on a concept, click some more links and so on, and after a while you are reading about something completely different from what you started on.
The half-million-long waiting list for the Model 3 says otherwise. That's equivalent to 2/3rds of a year of Ford F-series sales (not a specific F-series, but the whole series combined), sitting on a waiting list just to get one.
And Ford will have sold about 4 years worth of F-series by the time they make a dent in that waiting list. And when the waiting list is gone F-series will continue to be the best selling vehicle in North America.
Ford is not, and has no reason to be, worried about competition from Tesla.
Yes, I already apologized for missing the "fully" part, not that it really makes any significant difference to the premise.
I'm not anti-gun. I live in Canada and own both handguns and what would be considered assault rifles. Our laws are certainly much more restrictive in many ways. That said, there are not many days when I wish they were more like yours.
So, what you said is accurate if you refer to semi-automatic, rather than fully automatic rifles. This terminology distinction isn't a nit. The legal and practical differences are enormous.
Yes, my bad. I know full autos are more tightly regulated. I'll take the reading comprehension fail.
My point was just that the background check system is rather full of holes.
You can't do this in the US either. Not sure where you get your info from but maybe research a little before you spout next time.
Sure you can so long as it is a private sale (except for a handful of states that regulate private sales). Typically only FFLs have to do background checks.
Would be great if we could understand the rationale Daimler used to project vs. HUD. I'm sure there's a reason, I just can't figure out what it would be.
The HUD is one of the few few features in newer BMWs that I would like to have in my '11. I've driven loaners with it and found it useful (would be more useful with the tach, which they reserve for M models IIRC). And of course the HUD works fine in the rain, fog, and any ambient lighting condition. I'm not sure how well these projectors will work in the daytime on a snow covered road. Seems like a solution to a problem that is already better solved.
...installing some cracked version of Spotify when you can just as easily install a legitimate torrent client on your phone and download free music that doesn't take additional bandwidth through streaming? You're already dealing in potential malware, and now the company you're piggybacking is working towards pushing you off, might as well drop the pretenses and just grab the raw files from other sources.
Citizens of both countries have far more reason to fear their own governments.
Exactly.
And the American spies have just as easy access to their citizen's data as the Chinese government does to their own. It's not like America has better safeguards or anything. Those days are long gone.
re-installing Windows 7 using a regular install DVD and an OEM key is that the online validation never works. You have to use the phone validation. It is tedious, but always works.
..... no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause.....
From their perspective, there is nothing on earth an LEO can't have access to if they have a warrant. They have been conditioned their entire career (life?) to believe that. Now strong crypto means, basically, "Wah, my warrant is broken!". I'm sure it is quite life altering for them. Some may even need therapy.
...but my Pebble will continue to do what I need. Showing golf yardages, showing speed and distance while I'm biking, showing caller ID and MP3 names. Basically it is just a remote display for my phone. It does not need any online services to do this.
I'm sad to see Fitbit kill Pebble, but the simplicity of the original is what made it what it was. Trying to make it "smarter" did not necessarily make it better. Just another in a huge field.
Why would they be sold if they didn't offer a chance of addiction? Otherwise the kids who buy them would try them once, realize it is a colossal waste of money, and then go back to smoking regular weed like the rest of us.
Going back to smoking weed in vaporizers ideally. I switched from primarily burning weed to a vaporizer years ago and it just "feels" healthier. No coughing. Still smoke joints socially, but vaporizers are becoming more and more common.

To each their own though. That's democracy.

I'm not even American and I know this.

enough to let them drive, you might as well give them CCW permits.

I'd mod the AC up if I had points.
might indeed have worthwhile goals, but they demean their name and their cause by being associated with a shakedown operation.
If you want to avoid the IRS it is profoundly dumb to do business with a US company.
Same as if you want to avoid the NSA, or the FBI, or the MAFIAA, or whatever.
We can tell from your UID

Apparently there are people who want to make sure he keeps spending. And spending.
So it's all good. He has lots of money, they should be able to keep him at it for years.

Judges are probably taking it pretty hard too.
The fix is easy enough, however --

First thing I thought when I read the article.
I have not tried the encryption functionality, but Magic Lantern rocks.
It is not a flamethrower. Real flamethrowers spray burning oil on everything. Not nearly as much fun.
the state could provide compelling reason in a court of law by claiming it's good for their citizens and promotes the interests of the state.
You don't think that is something that matters, do you?
Maybe once upon a time.

Guess we will just have to wait and see what Jeremy Clarkson has to say.
Why are you justifying smoking and vaping?
Brownies aren't as convenient.
Why would they be sold if they didn't offer a chance of addiction? Otherwise the kids who buy them would try them once, realize it is a colossal waste of money, and then go back to smoking regular weed like the rest of us.

That's all vaping and e-cigarettes are, been calling them that since they first appeared, and that's objectively what they are.
So like a coffee mug then.....
