No, a SUV is a large vehicle built on a truck frame.
Not really. Might have been true ~20 years ago. Today, I believe the only truck framed SUVs still available new are the Toyota 4Runner and the truck based Suburban (and derivatives), the Expedition, and some Jeeps.
Everything else is unibody. Pickups are still body on frame due to towing capacity.

No, it is significantly worse now, since BeauHD and msmash became the primary editors following the latest change in ownership.

Birdshot has far less range than a rifle bullet. I doubt the shot even exceeds the outer perimeter of the airfield. A rifle bullet, on the other hand, would be lethal out to ~1500 yards[0], and probably capable of traveling considerably farther.[1]
Shooting drones with rifles is an exceptionally difficult task, and exceptionally dangerous...
If we get rid of all people who spend more than 10 seconds per year reflecting on religious issues we would have actually solved many of the problems of this world.
Get rid of all people who... where have I heard that before?

All/. is good for now are editorialized political posts masquerading as 'news', global warming/climate change stories, and the socialist ramblings about Bad Capitalism(tm).
My dad made homemade wine for decades. Never over-consumed. Profited no one. His consumption was as close to balanced as it gets. But the thing is, his wine tasted awful...because alcohol tastes awful. In every single form. Not to see this is to lie to yourself.
No, it tastes awful to you...
I enjoy many types of alcoholic beverages just fine, as do the vast majority or people. If it were truly that bad, and people had to lie to themselves to 'enjoy' it, alcohol consumption would be a fringe affectation.
Stop projecting your experiences on others; It's annoying and smacks of virtue signaling.
But look, it *is* just an internet company. No one HAS to join or participate in FB, it is voluntary.....and you are generally free to tell too much about yourself on there for others to see
At face value that's a true statement. Realistically, more people use FB than are aware of that fact. I use NoScript, and most pages I visit have a FB script running[0]... well, trying to run. I block that shite.

In the video at 0:23, he configures the machine from i7 to i9. The price jumps by $300, but the price difference between i9-8950HK and i7-8850H is only $188.

Remember, though: the original Star Wars was an homage to the space opera serials of the '30's and '40's. That's why it started at 'Episode IV'. There was no intention ab ovo to make it a franchise. It was more of an inside joke for movie geeks that happened to work out well for them once they realized the marketing potential of the universe.
'Episode IV' was not part of the 1977 theatrical release opening crawl. Those bits were added after the commercial success guaranteed that there would be sequels.
Abrams? Tarentino? Let's stop playing around and go straight to the bottom of the barrel. if we're going to hire talentless hacks to dig up Rodenderry's skull and do nasty things to his skull, let's go directly to the Master of No-Talent Directing, Uwe Bol.
And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-Bol-dare. Shogun37 created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the Shymalan triple dare and going right for the throat!
This is not going to be a popular thing to say, well, anywhere, but the ruling party in America loves stuff like the Daily Stormer. I'd like to call them 'useful idiots' but that's making light of them. They're a mix of extremely disenfranchised people and the people who exploit them for gain. Such things have always been useful. Right now we've got a multi-trillion dollar tax cut for the 1% that got ram-roded [sic] through our house and senate and folks like the Daily Stormer helped put the folks in charge that made that happen.
I want to make sure I understand you properly. What you seem to be saying is that anyone who didn't vote for your party - and I'm assuming you were with Her - then you are a Nazi. And that the reason she lost are all of the people who voted for someone else?
You want to know where the problem is, look in the mirror. If you can't honestly accept that not everyone outside of your echo chamber isn't an evil, Nazi sympathizing, racist, deplorable Bad Person, then we're fscked as a society.
Fuck it, mod me down, but as a former Marine, I will sure as shit call out any scumbag who thinks I'm a Nazi because I don't share their precious political beliefs.
Now it's all political and how anyone not fully left of center is evil.
So, we have a legislator starting an investigation into whether or not Google is profiting off of, while concurrently harming other companies, and pushing the left's agenda.
This site used to be about the 800lb gorilla using it's market share to force the other companies to toe the line, or die on the vine.
Now , it's all about that left wing agenda and how anyone who disagrees is 'attacking' $favored_company or clubbing baby seals.
But I do see them competing with Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, Breitling, etc. in the very high end watch market.
Really? Your going to compete the Apple Watch made by Quanta Computer with a high-end Swiss watch? I'd accept maybe a low end Swiss watch with a quartz movement, but certainly not one of the automatics. Definitely not any of the brands you mentioned.
Heck, the machining and finishing on those watches costs more than the Apple Watch. (maybe not including the absurdly priced Watch Edition... and by that I mean production cost, not MSRP)
The advertiser lobbied the movie production's responsible parties.
More likely, the movie's producers engaged multiple advertisers/agencies to obtain product placements - for the specific purpose of getting money to help make the movie.

I would not fly a plane that had an automatic system that I could not override, and I consider it a crime to even sell tickets for such a beast.
So, no Airbus for you, right? Unless the aircraft is in direct law, it's *always* under some type of automated control.

I do hope everyone here will read what the bill ACTUALLY SAYS, rather than merely the claims that are going to be made about the bill...
With Pelosi sponsoring the bill, no doubt you'll only be able to read it after it's been signed into law.
