    Sure. We already know that during both elections for Obama, they got access to the data through a 1st party pulling the same slop like CA did. Far as people can figure from the DNC leaks, there was an unnamed company involved for Hillary too. The difference is, when it was the democrats doing it was fine. But when a company did the same for the RNC and Trump it was a big deal.

  2. Could you post your model and year of vehicle? I've never seen that happen, and would like to check the wiring schematic for my own reference(was a mechanic at one point in my life). I do have one for you on the other side though, where a TPS(throttle body) sensor would cause the MAF(manfold air flow) sensor to report low air pressure to the computer causing an engine stall. As the computer would retard the fuel injector at the top of the throttle body. Was on 1993-1995 3.1L GM engines during the hybrid phase between non-fuel injection and full MFI. The TPS sensor reported the throttle plate position when the gas peddle was depressed. That was a very interesting learning experience for me.

  3. That makes no sense, the O2 sensor is in three places(if equipped), exhaust manifold, pre-cat, and post-cat. The ABS system is separate from the engine computer and doesn't share anything with the ABS system itself. The only possible case is where the harness is combined and is shorting out. If that's the case, you're moving from "component failure" to "design failure."

  4. What's the hourly rate set by your state/province? That's where it starts. Most businesses offer estimates free, most states and provinces have laws requiring estimates to be free as well.

    It's virtue signalling, what do you expect? I mean even during the heavy hockey season here in Canada, 5k people showed up to protest at parliament hill when the CRTC was going to let Bell charge a lease $80/mo for GAS(last mile), before 3rd parties could offer dsl. They were selling 5/1 dsl for $49/mo at the same time, so a 3rd party would at a minimum would have had to charge $120+/mo to make up the cost at the same level of service.

    A step in the right direction for the US would require the owner of the "last mile" to lease it to 3rd parties. That's what happens up here in Canada. Unless the incumbent can show that their investment needs time to recover the costs of said investment, then they must allow other companies to lease them. In general that works out between 30-41% of the cost of a normal connection to a home. Even at that, TPIA's up here make money hand over fist and undercut the incumbents by 20% while offering superior service.

    You do know that was debunked back in the 1990's. The difference between 144fps and 300fps is noticeable, if you don't think so go buddy up with someone who works at an imax theater and give it a go.

You know why don't you? Because they both hate the more centrist, smaller government movement in the republicans that have been building over the last decade. Go on, look up all those speech writers, pundits, inner-circle people who couldn't find a war they didn't like. Go look where they are now, what think-tanks they work for, who pays them.

    But hey, let's look at Hillary's reasonable metric of success. She helped further destabilize the middle east, killed a dictator that was in the state of modernizing his country. Which then fell into warring semi-antonymous areas who held their own military power(the only reason why ISIS was unable to get a foothold there). Then bragged about how it was a great thing. Then she wanted to drone someone at a foreign embassy, on allied soil. Boy we're just getting started with that success.

    Let me see, them flyover peoples are getting 'uppity' and need to be knocked down huh? Where have I heard that one before...oh right. It was from democrats, with regards to blacks. Strange that when a political party which labeled itself as "working class" refuses and then pisses all over a large segment of it, people have enough. Never mind that you should be more worried with antifa and their communist agitation or anything.

    So let's get this right: Expecting law enforcement, to do their jobs hands untied and issues to be dealt with by the courts is white supremacy. Especially with dealing with illegals, who of course directly impact african americans the most by taking jobs at a lower rate of pay. See the shining example of two bakeries in Illinois in the last month. Or the fact that the previous administration implemented the highest "catch and release" program under any president in US history.

    Requirements for sanctuary, or temporary residency require that you tell the truth. If you lie, out you go. FYI the system is extremely lenient on retroactive changes if you do so in person.

    Relentless attacks on the press? Oh, so he's telling the secret service to go shake down some WAPO reporters? Hey, you know who actually did that? Obama, repeatedly. Not only did he do that, but he illegally wiretapped multiple reporters from AP, AFP, Rueters, and Fox.

    Funny how you were happily complacent when the previous government was doing the things you're proscribing to Trump and he's *not* doing.
