Yes, I can unlock so much power (the rest?) by playing with boost pressure, timing and mixtures that my engine will self destruct in no time. You can probably get much more performance from a Tesla if you don't care about killing the battery as well.
I don't find it necessary, but then at least all my cylinders still work.
A lot of modern ICE vehicles have cylinder deactivation, for example where a V-8 will run on only 4 or 6 cylinders to improve fuel economy.
Maybe these companies can take a page from Tesla's book, and sell their V-8 powered vehicles, but software limited so they only use 4 or 6 cylinders all the time unless you pay for an upgrade to extra functional cylinders.
Or not. Probably the buyers of normal cars and trucks are smarter than that.
Keep telling ordinary Americans that you hate them and hold them in contempt.
I'm Canadian, but I have friends and relatives in the US, most of whom are nice normal people. We don't know how you ended up with Bozo the Clown for your president, but he is an embarrassment to your country in pretty much the entire rest of the world. Just sayin.
Throttling for congestion is simply QoS in terms the average person will understand. Not only is there nothing wrong with it, it is necessary for the smooth operation of the network. This is traffic management, pure and simply.
The average person assumes QOS happens in near real time and is not based on historical usage.
Had he owned up to them, then it would have been just like Obama and Biden -- a paperwork error to correct, and a fine. Instead, his lying about it and directing Cohen to make what constitutes an illegal payment brought felony charges.
Quite often it is not the original act but the coverup that gets you in the end.
I can believe that all the utilities in California may be well interconnected, but Canada is 20 times the land area and there is no real nationwide grid. Some provinces have more interconnects than others, but there are probably as many interconnects to US states as there are domestic ones.
The end consumer always pays in the end. Trump is betting that increased prices for US consumers will hurt America less than reduced sales for foreign vendors will hurt their respective countries. I think he is betting wrong. Everyone else is doing free trade deals among themselves and diversifying to reduce their reliance on US markets. That weakening of the importance of the US to global trade will last long after Trump is gone.
Trump has said he will sign a trade agreement tomorrow with any country that agrees to sign a bilateral agreement where both sides agree to lower tariffs to zero. That's his definition of free market. I disagree with him on a lot of things, but I agree with him on that.
Except global trade is a lot more complicated that that. Besides tariffs there is the issue of subsidies, both hidden and open, regulatory differences, royalty structures, etc.
Trump's definition is what the world expects from a simpleton but the world does not, and will not ever, work that way.
Actually, I understand that the latest was really only about collecting union dues from paychecks without explicit permission. The right to organize or being a member of a union wasn't effected, nor was a union's right to negotiate on behalf of their members. What WAS effected was a host of unions loosing income because they where collecting dues from non-members under the pretense of it being a union shop.
I'm Canadian and I have not studied this ruling in detail, knowing only what I have seen on the news, but I'm assuming that while people will be able to forego paying union dues while still retaining the benefits of the union collective bargaining on their behalf, they probably will not be eligible for the other things that paying union dues provides, such as group insurance plans, a mediated grievance procedure, representation for disciplinary matters, strike pay in the event of job actions, etc., nor would they have a vote in choosing who is representing them at the bargaining table.

The buyers made an explicit choice to NOT pay for the additional range, in the full understanding that they wouldn't get that feature.
They just got the extra weight, which is totally in keeping with the whole efficiency theme.

Nations never have friends. They have interests.
It is in your interest that you are in others interest as well.
Call it what you like, but without it all you have is enemies, and nations sure do have those.
Meanwhile, economy is going great, Americans have jobs and a reason to feel good about their economic prospects for the first time in 10 years.
That is true in most places. The long recovery from 2008 is not a Trump exclusive
They'll never choose what's good for the US over what's good for their own people
Those are not necessarily mutually exclusive things. Or didn't use to be anyway.
Agree that Hillary was a pretty awful candidate. Electing Trump instead was not a "look how smart we are" moment though.
As for foreigners, America used to have lots of friends in the world. Now you have people who tolerate you out of necessity.
I'm sure that will recover in time once you have a normal person in charge again though.

In most cases, no. Recycle the very few materials where it makes economic sense. For the rest, stop pretending.
Like beer cans. Something Trump supporters should be intimately familiar with.

Yes. Trump supporters have their own alternate facts also.
I was just going to suggest Trump supporters are unlikely to believe in recycling anyway LOL

That is what sets them apart from pancakes.

It's not my fault the author of the format has a poor grasp on the English language and chooses to pronounce it as a "J".
He learned how to say giraffe in his ESL class and it just stuck from there.

i guess the importer pays them?

It can go wherever they want it to go.
That's the nice part.
Not semantics to all the people buying and selling wheat - not through the Wheat Board.
You may not have noticed, but there is no more "Canadian Wheat Board". The Saudis bought a bunch of assets when the Wheat Board was disbanded.
The Chinese import technology, not products.

Am I correct in this assumption?
Indeed. One day someone may make something way better than a modern pickup truck.
I personally doubt it will be Tesla, but you never know.
