I drove it from Indianapolis to Memphis Tennessee to meet a girl and the fuel pump was completely screwed so i just pumped the gas pedal for 900 miles. Good times.
It got lots of abuse on country back roads as well.
Apples to oranges maybe, but: It's been called the 'M' button for quite a while now and installed in certain 'M-class' automobiles. The Ford version will probably end up being a toy version of it - you can do a burnout once you engage, but for the front brakes to release you'll have to disengage the 'B' button. You know, the 'safe' way.
If you are unable to make your point without flat-out lying then perhaps you should reevaluate your... Wait, it's RS. Never mind.
"MacBook Pro: Planned obsolescence: business model forces you to buy new devices frequently." I'll mention that to my friends carrying various laptops that aren't worth enough to sell but completely functional and in use. My wifey uses a MacBook and she's never been forced to upgrade.

Not quite. From the quoted article, "There have been 12 reported fires but no injuries in the bigger recall of 139,917 Ford Escape vehicles."
But it does show a huge difference between Tesla and the management of a car company that's been in the business a long time. Ford will recall and repair 139,917 cars because of 12 fires. Tesla downplays battery fires.
Elon Musk should be looking at Ford management and asking himself what they know about making and selling cars that he doesn't.
Correct. Ford will sell 12 more cars and Telsa only three.
I'd make arguments for it being more environmentally friendly. No materials to work, and nothing to ship.
All the devices and infrastructure necessary to deliver and read them have an environmental cost, e.g., batteries, rare earth elements, waste from devices tossed when broken / upgraded.
Yep. $8,000 a month to watch somebody die slowly, painfully and inevitably. When the person being kept alive doesn't want it.
If the person doesn't want it, they have the ability to create a living will (advance healthcare directive) and to designate someone with a durable power of attorney for healthcare.
Although it is generally not allowed to have a "kill me" suicide directive, you can include things like not using medical devices, not resuscitating, and not providing food or water or I/V nourishment while still getting pain medication.
No need for $8000/month. A natural death can follow quickly, especially if your order says to give you no food or water.
Health care professionals may choose to (and do) ignore living will provisions. I googled as you suggested to the other poster.
On one hand, we should be concentrating our resources on people who has not broken the law to the extent that we need to imprison them in order to protect society.
It's a frickin' toy. And what's up with taking the SD card and giving it away? If a car crashes in front of him will he start picking up items and handing them out?

I had a Chevy citation.

The car?

Goddam lead fingered drivers. Get off my lawn.
I hypermile mine to 31mpg then blow away pretty much anything from a stop
So, you're an asshole coming *and* going.

Well, when you use the word "pale", that does have negative connotations.
That's why he used the word "pale".
he's dead Jim.

I posed a question on social media recently asking if deleting an Ebook is akin to book burning.
Another good reason to stay away from "social media" sites.

How do you do a double-blind study on screens?
Maybe he meant force people to use either one or the other and see who goes blind?

Assisted, end of life suicide already legal in Washington and Oregon and some parts of Europe.
So glad I live in Oregon. "Come for the cheap weed, stay for the assisted suicide."

I think that's what we've been doing all along.
Now I don't feel so badly about putting on my fez hat and smoking jacket to watch Tank Girl in a big red leather chair in my library.
They had to be discarded. In the clips they kept referring to it as Episode III.
The Chinese gymnasts have been born already, they just don't yet have the papers to prove that.
I think you have that backwards. They have the papers to prove they were born already, they just haven't been born yet.
Unfortunately, gerrymandering is not unique to either party.
Hang in there and hope you (and the others) get through it ok.
Tsk. Curiosity generates intelligence.
My cat is not able to duplicate your results.
How about if it was a softball that fell?
If it was at a women's fast pitch game they would come and take it back from you. :)
Fine, be disgusted. Your assumptions about my opinion are incorrect and your analogy isn't applicable. The SD card is property.

...unless their cable broke (cables do wear our on occasion)
In which case Apple is just making a money grab by forcing people to buy their overpriced cables.
The cables are covered by the included warranty and also by AppleCare.
The stiffness of your structure would then change, the bolt hole you that you were growing the crack out of, now that bolt wouldn't be effective.
That's what she said.
