From the link in the other response to my post, what dumbass wants to live in a place where the cost of medical procedures averages 60% higher than the most expensive other 12 OECD countries? Countries where you are "mandated to pay for those with unhealthy lifestyles" have much lower spending per capita.
If you're "careless with your lifestyle" and need an appendectomy because you appendix bursts, of which you don't have much control over, it'll cost you $5,004 in Canada and $7,962 in USA for the same procedure (figures from 2007)
C-sections in Canada cost 4,820, USA costs 7,449. Because "unhealthy lifestyles" contribute to the orientation of your baby during delivery?
I'm not even picking the cheapest country, Germany, Finland, France and Sweden are cheaper than Canada. Australia is similar to Canada. https://www.oecd.org/unitedsta...
Perhaps the massive amounts of spending is because the government funded health insurance pays out private health care prices, making the private healthcare providers extremely rich.
But yes, I do end up paying for "free" healthcare with my taxes. It's part of the ~30% I pay in tax. Slightly less than the OECD average according to your link.
You've missed out one big part of the US funding model - massive private lobby groups manipulating government policy. Maybe that's part of the reason you pay 60% more than most other OECD countries.
I sit at a desk and write code with no formal qualifications. I make more money per hour than a pilot with 10+ years experience. I get to work 40 hours a week and I'm only away from my home for less than 50. Pilots only work 21.5 hours a week and are away from home for 60 to 75 hours a week.
Fuck being a regional pilot in USA. I'd make half the money I do now and it would take up 40% more of my time.
A fully integrated devices, such as a laptop, is not fit for purpose if you need to use external devices for it to function as intended. Where do you draw the line? When your laptop requires a USB drive to boot as the internal drive has failed, an external keyboard and mouse, an external monitor, and power supply because the battery won't charge? So it's basically now a desktop computer?
They probably aren't completely sure you bought it or not. The ad trackers will know you visited the product page. They may know the next page you visited was the shopping cart page, implying you've added it. But they can't be sure it was in your cart when you visited the checkout page, not without buying data from that particular online shop.
Right... the production line should keep going, producing cars, for example with a control arm in the suspension, or no brake master cylinder?
What do you think should happen? If robot X fails to put on part A, what is robot Y supposed to do with part B that is supposed to be attached to the missing part A?

I got mixed up The M16 is a variant of the AR15 The M4 is based off the M16
The AR15 is inherently military because the US Army used it. The have a service manual for it https://www.at3tactical.com/pa... It covers the M4, M16 and AR15 because they're all very similar.
The more common 100A breaker in US homes is equivalent to a 50A in my country, where the mains is 240V 60A/240V was very common in the 1980's when my house was built. It's was probably also common in the 90's.
Back in 1980 ovens were 30A/240V, now they are more often 45A Hot water heaters were 3kW, now they can be 5kW.
Lots of people will plug their car in when they arrive home from work. Lots of people work 9-5 and get home at similar times. When it's cold, they also turn their heaters on when they get home. A lot of people cook their own dinner too, which they start soon after they get home from work. Lots of those people have electric ranges.
My house could easily draw 10kW when the hot water cylinder if heating (it's about 3kW) because the kids are in the shower, the oven and cooktop (the whole oven/range is rated at 240V, 45A (10kW) if everything is all in use, but in reality its not at any one time.) is going because dinner is being cooked and the heat pump (about 2kW) is on too. That's on top of everything else in the house - lights, electronics, fridges, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, space heaters. Often the hot water cylinder won't run at that time during winter though, because the power company has turned them all off (google "ripple control") to manage peak power consumption.
The house main fuse is 60A, so anything over 15kW is going to risk popping it. That's me with my heat pump on, the water cylinder heating, the jug boiling water for a coffee and the car charging. 2 + 3 + 2.4 + 7 = 14.4kW, or 60A at 240V. If I turned the oven on I risk tripping the main circuit breaker. It's not uncommon to have a 5kW hot water cylinder either, it's an option for the one I have.
To upgrade the main breaker they'd need to run new cables to the house. Need a new power meter too.
They're going to have to do the same thing they do with electric hot water with car chargers.

I'd tell that to my wife, but I had a partially subsidised snip.
If she has to get cut open again, it won't be my fault.

I'd hate to live in a country where basic medical care isn't free.
Sounds like a third world undeveloped nation, where the government can't afford to run hospitals.

Pay the pilots more and more people will train to become pilots and fewer will leave the industry.
I know it's pretty radical thinking.

You've gone full retard.
Maybe they're showing you things other people bought, who also bought the same thing as you.
Seems pretty reasonable to me.
Looks like they were getting spammed by bots, as I had to enter a captcha just to get to www.amazon.com
Too many people running bots to buy things cheap to resell after the sale.
That's why we can't have nice things.
These days advertisers are competing against 1000's of times more competition than back in the print only ad days.

It covers the M4, M16 and AR15 because they're all very similar.
It's a small high velocity round that fractures on impact, creating more damage.
It's a high powered semi automatic rifle based on the M4?

"Where appropriate"
If there is no space to park a car on the property, how is it appropriate to have a car charger?
