I don't know where you came up with this idea. I made a snarky comment about wording. I'm not very knowledgeable about this. I also own firearms so don't get defensive and think I'm pushing to take away all the guns.
I don't see how you can rectify your position with the fact that sales of firearms have been regulated for a very long time now. Background checks, restrictions on types of firearms (fully automatic), even restrictions on age of buyers.
The best advantage to traditional ICE vehicles having regular model year changes as opposed to changes whenever they want, is that it makes it a lot easier to find the right parts for repairs. This mostly applies to mechanical parts, not computer systems. As long as Tesla is not changing suspension parts, brake systems, or systems like this multiple times a year it should be fine. Otherwise have a good time trying to replace suspension components on a 10 to 20 year old Tesla in the future.
Of course Tesla (like all car manufacturers) doesn't really care about you keeping a car for decades. They are in the business of selling new cars. It may be in their best interests to make it difficult to maintain a vehicle once it is out of warranty.
I am not able to find that definition using google. Both words are common and have multiple meanings and SEO folks have messed up the page rank. Pretty soon Google will be useless.
Unless you are trying to buy something or look up extremely popular things, Google is already getting darn near useless.
Well, I very well may be completely off base, but my theory is that you have two situations. Situation #1 has just a third party payment processor. Situation #2 has a 3rd party payment processor like bitpay + a non-zero fee from the bitcoin network.
Of course, my assumption is that all 3rd party payment processors are approximately equal and that may prove to be totally unfounded with bitcoin processors.
No one seems to mention that they accept bitcoin like they accept VISA cards. All of these places actually want dollars. Any bitcoins they accept through a payment provider are instantly converted to dollars by that provider and that is what they really want. In that scenario, it is failing to pick up as a currency, but is gaining some ground as a money transfer device. The downside is that now instead of just the third party payment provider, there is a third party payment provider plus the bitcoin network.
It seems to me that this is only maintainable while new coins are being mined. Once the mining approaches 0, people will start wanting a transaction fee to process the networks transactions. At that point it can't possibly be cheaper than the traditional payment processing networks. I don't believe in bitcoin as the lasting cryptocurrency. Unfortunately (or fortunately), as bitcoin is the dominant one, if it falters and fails, it will be a long time before anyone would trust another cryptocurrency even if the bugs are worked out.
Your argument is sound, but people only want to ban things that they are not involved with. The benefits of the ban are only a nice incentive. They primarily don't like a group of people they are not involved with and want to penalize them and ban something.
I believe his point is paranoid lunacy. There is some truth to what he says though. Every long term girlfriend or fiance started out as someone that you barely knew, they just turned out to be good people. There is still a possibility that someone you meet and start pursuing romantically turns out to be off their rocker. If they get upset enough with you a false rape charge can be very damaging and difficult to handle.
Just remember there's a huge spectrum of relationships in between fiance and totally impaired woman at the bar. Many people have met one and she turned into the other.
(an increasing number of jurisdictions allow a person to withdraw consent after the fact).
And this is the equivalent of an Ex Post Facto law. You are free to change your consent at any point (including during an encounter) and after that point nothing is permitted or else it is rape. You are not allowed to consent and engage in a sexual encounter and then decide that you made a mistake and punish the guy.
This is like consenting to a medical treatment and then getting upset that the doctor actually did it. Or buying a car and then regretting the decision the next day.
I think you're missing his point. It's very difficult for a man to defend himself if he had consensual sex with a woman that later falsely says it was not consensual. This obviously still applies to a married couple, but a man's wife is less likely to make a false rape allegation because he didn't call her back or whatever reason there is.
I want to be abundantly clear that many times the woman is not making a false claim of rape. It is definitely a real problem. I think the GP was just saying to cover your ass a bit and wait till your married to have a consensual sexual relationship. Of course never having a sexual relationship with another person would be the highest level of defense, but who wants that?
Sure kid, and I can tow a tractor trailer with a Toyota Tacoma pickup if I swap transmissions to gear it low enough and equip it with wide tires, but it's not the optimal solution.
If you had just gotten a Tundra you could tow the space shuttle.
Aren't you Mr. High and Mighty? Way to take one douche bags comments, assume he's an American (probably is), and then extrapolate that he represents all 310+ million Americans. I wouldn't say you're clear of the asshole label yourself.
I fail to see how the oral Polio vaccine is forced on people against their will. An innocent person sentenced to death is not willingly accepting the possible side effects of their decisions.
My argument is that I'm not going to soil my hands killing an innocent man to save someone else. I don't believe there is any indication that the death penalty actually saves lives anyway.
Oh no someone says something positive about MS. They must be a shill. I have no problem using Windows 8. Is it a perfect product, no, but that is what updates are for. I am not a shill, but if MS wanted to pay me just to say how great windows 8 was I suppose I'd take their money.
Now, a better question is why are we still killing people when at least 4% of ppl killed are verifiable innocent?
Because people have unscientifically figured out that threat of death is a damn good deterrent, so we presume we're saving more innocent lives than losing. If true, then the blood of the innocent is on our hands if we don't carry out executions--that is, if we save 5 innocents a year from execution while causing an increase in crime claiming 15 innocents, we are responsible for 10 more deaths.
If one is willing to kill innocent people to statistically save other lives, I reject their system of beliefs. If one is accepting the deaths of inocents, they do not have justice. We are not ants dying for the good of the colony. We are individuals with hopes, dreams, and desires of our own.
Because budget and schedule aren't really the be all and end all of planes. I don't see how you can put the F-35 Lightening II in the top 10 worst planes ever (Over 110 years of planes).
Well...I'm afraid that's just wrong (and a very US-centric way of looking at the world).
He is wrong, but that is absolutely not a US way of looking at the world. People in the US consider our country to be part of North America. We refer to our country as "America" as a shorthand. Your definition of the Americas in the 7 continents model is what I believe everyone here uses.
And this is the sad part about this entire subject. We are worrying about how children in this country are learning to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers. That is the simplest of starts of Math. A large part of kids don't even really learn a lot of Algebra let alone Trigonometry or Calculus. We need a cultural change to get kids interested in Math. If they are interested in it, they will learn it.

Are you seriously arguing that the latest copy of "The Lego Movie" or "Non-Stop" are ideas?
For one supposedly so knowledgeable about this...

Well, technically it's the right to "bear" arms, not the right to "buy" arms. So regulating sales isn't against the 2nd amendment.

Not all wealthy people remain wealthy.
When a person is wealthy enough, wasting $100,000 will have little to no effect on their wealth.
You can't possibly be suggesting that every expenditure of a wealthy person is a good buy, can you?

... sometimes you will have to remove a bumper or something. These days, that's usually hilariously easy.
Not to say removing a bumper is hard, but I'd wager it is more involved now than in the past.
