    A lot of trucks are already networked. Hijacking isn't as easy as it once was.

    70 dollars? Damn! I paid $138 last month and that's the cheapest in 2 years or more. I spend about the same on gas every month too. I'm watching electric cars closely. I think my next car might well be electric. I'm planning to set up solar panels on the garage so I can drive for free.

    While this is true I think that Google, which loves liberalism and all it's proponents in the media and politics, should be held to the same ridiculous standard that all American companies are. If they pay women less than they do men then they are obviously biased against women. I love Karma.

    I remember how absolutely certain another administration was about WMD in Iraq. I remember a certain "Highly Honarable Mr. Clapper" who told bald face lies to Congress under oath. Anyone who thinks the US Intel community can be trusted is a fool. I think they played Trump like a banjo just like they did W. The Globalist agenda marches on. They own Congress and they've crippled the President so that he's their tool whether he likes it or not. Here we go with 8 more years of world policeman bullshit. Fuck it. I figured they'd kill him but they just co-opted him. Nice.

    I was talking paying members. A lot of people agree with the NRA but don't join because they're cheap asses.

    After this last political cycle I no longer have any faith whatsoever in polls. Some of those polls were so far out they couldn't have been anything other than an attempt at manipulation. I'm not saying the ones you quote are wrong, they may be correct. I just don't look at polls the same way anymore because it seems all the people I used to trust have decided that "the end justifies the means" in their desperation.

    All 3 million or so members of the NRA. Every damn one of them. Every gun owner I know, and that's several hundred people, voted for Trump.

    In one debate I watched Hilliary speak about appointing a progressive judge and after she finished speaking I knew we were fucked. But then Trump won. I'm not sure how Trump will end but just the fact that we have avoided a judge that thinks he should legislate from the bench is enough for me to call him a success. Imagine a SCOTUS like the 9th Circus Court.

    While I agree with you I think the Karma of this is fucking fantastic. Google supports so much of the crazy liberal bullshit in this country it is only fitting that it comes back to bite the hell out of them. I hope they get reamed out.

    Considering the way truly insane places like Iran and North Korea are building Nukes and ICBMs I predict that by 2100 we'll have a nuclear winter that will solve the global warming crisis.

  13. Jobs died and so did the Vision at Apple. Jobs had the Vision of what Apple was. Now they wander around with no clue as to what kind of company they are, coasting on momentum. I wonder sometimes if the people running Apple use Windows 10 on their Macs.

    I never missed a Braves baseball game for years. I either watched it on TV or listened on the radio and went to 3 or 4 games a year even though I live over 140 miles away from the stadium. Until the baseball strike. I haven't been to a game since and I've probably watched a total of 9 innings in all the years since. I have no idea who plays on their team anymore. I've tried to watch but it's like I can't even make myself do it. I loathe baseball where I used to love it. It's kind of like a guy who has a wife he adores, worships the ground she walks on. Then one day he comes home and finds the neighbor pounding her ass. He then hates her with a burning passion. That's what they're going to get from a lot of people when they strike. The doormats will return but the rest will walk and never look back.

    But that's the point isn't it? They're not forking over the dough anymore. I looked at the previews for Beauty and the Beast and passed. That's me, the wife and 5 grandkids that would have gone probably but it's not a little kid's movie anymore. I don't know what in Hell is wrong with Disney. We did love Moana though. Hell, I could watch it again.

    Not enough sleep. I thought it said something about robot chickens. I have seen some interesting things with tablets and autistic children.
