How can you be too poor to afford salt? At around 50 cents/lb it has to be the cheapest seasoning by orders of magnitude. Even the cheapest restaurants just give it away.
Where it most definitely does not make sense is in passenger cars, where the moronic part of our population (that is, most of it)...
Why do you think having a bunch of morons behind the wheel is better than Tesla's half-baked "Autopilot"? At least with the Tesla there's something watching the road 100% of the time, rather than looking down at their phone. Even if it is flawed, let's not pretend that the alternative is perfect.
So how much automation is the correct amount? Should we get rid of automatic transmissions? Go back to carburetors and make everyone know how to use a choke valve? Let's lose electric start and make all cars start up with hand cranks. This will make people smarter, more skilled, and less lazy, right?
This seems like it would have helped. With bars lower on the sides of the trailer, the sensors would have a better chance of detecting it and then braking to avoid the accident. Even if the trailer still wasn't seen, if the bars were able to prevent the Tesla from going under the trailer and shearing the top, a fatality may have been avoided. I would guess the trucking industry is probably against such regulations as they will make for heavier, more expensive, less fuel efficient trailers.
Same here. I enjoy my iPhone 6 and really enjoy the ease of sharing and interacting with everyone else who has an iPhone, but I am too invested in the 3.5mm headphone jack to give it up. That standard has been around since 1964, and Apple is deluded if they think they can make it disappear. I'm sure there will be an adapter, but unless they're a buck a piece, tiny, and allow you to still charge your phone, then no thanks.
A lot of geeks have expensive hobbies. Cars, guns, model trains, stereos, it can all get expensive.
I have a suspicion that there is a lot of of illegal money make it's way into the Steam economies as well. Hacked credit cards are much more dangerous to use buying physical goods.
If you're the type of engineer that modifies a standardized interface, but doesn't give any sort of visual clue to the modification because you expect everyone to RTFM, you're an idiot.
Do you sit and read the manual every time you rent a car?
We did see the airline employees (and police) politely telling someone that, no, they could not take their loaded speargun on the flight with them as hand baggage.
I'm with you. The only other feature I would add is to be aesthetically pleasing. I don't have giant wrists/hands so I don't want a giant watch. I'd like to be able to switch out the watch band to any aftermarket one I like.
It seems like the watch we want doesn't really need to be "smart" at all. I think Bluetooth could handle all of those features.
People like to toss around the "W" word, and it has a bit of a stigma attached to it, so I don't like using it. I would guess that you're actually being assisted by Social Security disability benefits. Is that correct?
Some of these places also just track the vehicles. People who are behind on their payments will sometimes hide their vehicles so they won't get repo'd. The tracker makes the vehicle much easier to recover.
I no longer see the point in owning physical copies of media. Why spend my limited viewing time watching something I've seen before when my Netflix streaming queue has so much new stuff for me to see?
There's also the DRM issue. DVD players pretty much just work. My in-laws purchased a Blu-Ray player, but no longer use it since it refused to play a handful of movies they had rented. They're not going to bother with updating the firmware on their device when they could just watch a DVD instead.
Actually the way they find planets outside of our solar system is by measuring the "wobble" caused by the planets gravity as it orbits the star. Thus, it is much easier to find large planets with more gravity and planets that are closer to the star with shorter, more observable orbital periods.

They already offer more space, but you have to pay for it. Try premium economy or first class next time.

TIL what a pekin is.
A lot of drivers already abdicate responsibility without letting it fall to anyone, let alone a big company with insurance, and deep pockets.

The terrorists have truly won.
Calling is so last century. I just send a quick email when I need a fire extinguished.
I respect your approach to wealth, but think you should really reconsider your decision to shop at Kohl's.
Fascinating first hand account. The surgery helped, then?

Technically, eggs would be unborn animals.

One of the two has effectively captured their market regulators.

It's so bad it goes right past good and back to bad.

There's plenty of legal American citizens who can't pay for their ER bills.
Also, the gravel roads help them to justify the SUVs and pickups they own to drive back and forth to work.
