There are some cars on the market that will speed up and slow down with cruise control. I think Mercedes makes these and they use radar if you get caught up in traffic. No need to disengage it. It will speed up and slow down.
I say bull. There is plenty of people that buy manual transmissions instead of automatics in the US. What you guys have that we don't so much is those flappy paddle gearboxes which I guess would be better described as semi-automatic like a motorcycle without a clutch lever.
One other thing cars such as these also have electronics to shut down the engine and brakes going at the same time. So that problem was in the software.
No, hit the breaks. Even with an automatic brakes make you stop. If you have a manual transmission push the clutch in too. Turning the key off could lock your steering but you should still have brakes even if your gas pedal sticks. Not a big issue except for some sue happy people that freeze up as what to do.
Doesn't the Mercedes C class have radar induced breaking if you get too close to a vehicle already? There should be a way to turn all of this stuff off and even have launch control if we want it. People are just to sue happy in the US and the insurance companies will make this happen for sure. The safety police (insurance companies) have spoken.
Isn't the brakes on the other side on a left hand drive car? That might be the issue. More than likely people miss the breaks and hit the gas on their own. I've had a gas pedal stick but it was just the carpet. Push breaks and clutch at the same time. Move carpet. Problem solved.
It works like this, the more you find out the less you know because of exponential growth in knowledge does not gain wisdom does it now? No big deal. Higgs maybe bigger deal. They know nothing. It's the force, that is what holds it all together. Yoda--
I've been around farms too. The ones out in the Midwest grow as much corn as the entire land area of Germany and enough soybeans to cover an area the size of Italy. So if it's so unprofitable, why are they doing it? Subsidies? I didn't say nothing about the old school stuff being better for you and tasting better especially tomatoes in the winter.
I'm just saying what we have now must be more profitable or large commercial farms wouldn't be doing it. Everything has a price. Even Mexicans can't get jobs pulling weeds anymore. They just genetically engineer a variety that RoundUp wont kill. Presto, spraying RoundUp is cheaper than hiring Mexicans and people here wont work that hard period.
Sidenote tip: Take all of your garbage not trash mix with sawdust and you will have very expensive compost pretty quick.
That's the television ones and they have been broke a long time ago. I assume schools have a different set of rules that probably says profanity is what they define it to be at the time. Like purple possum piss might be a funny word now but offend purple possums that can't take a piss. So they get to make up the rules as they go like the DEA except even they couldn't care less about your FB page.
--Doctors suspected health effects but it took time to properly substantiate those suspicions.--
The tobacco companies inserted extra nicotine into cigarettes way back in WWII and gave free packs to the GI's. They knew even then that this would hook them bad. Still better than a Mafia selling illegal smokes everywhere.
It also took a long time to convince everyone else. It happened about the time the Marlboro man died from lung cancer. People will believe in global warming too about the time it's too late to do anything about it. What worries me more is that we a running out of oil and not pursuing the alternatives with much zeal.
Longer even, but back in the 50's and 60's science was just trusted but they also didn't mention anything about environmental cleanup and things like that. I think their global warming prediction models are off but getting closer all of the time. As the future draws near, I can predict that I will get off work soon. Too much CO2 in the air and water might not kill us all but I would say it's not going to be a decent outcome without intervention of some sort. The models always changing confuses most people. Not the models in the past but the computer models in the future probably fail to take in many things.
Things are going to change no matter what now and we a fixing to see a lot more yet spoiled people here bury their head in the sand. Taking a stand on the old testament word for word is kind of silly when even bible scholars disagree on what certain words mean and many stories are not to be taken literal either. Many people bend the bible to say what they want it to say and ignore the rest. So most down understand science or the bible. Reading comprehension must be down these days.
These issues should matter. I for one hope he gets re-elected even though he probably wont and we will really see some tough times. Every time someone goes to the emergency room for something a primary care physician can take care of has to cost a ton of money. People need to smarten up. Even all the rich people don't want to destroy the middle class. We seem to be doing pretty well with that on our own.
That's pretty much it. There is no way someone with 40 acres is going to grow more with that 40 acres than someone that owns thousands of acres. A large commercial farm will produce more per acre than a small organic one not that people shouldn't try to grow and can more of their own stuff in case they really have too at some point rather than starve.
If I remember right Roosevelt got that changed. There was probably no one more liberal than that. Hoover was president or another Republican before him when it passed.
--You can get much better performance out of a small garden for a family (on a food produced per acre measure) than you can out of a large farm.--
You obviously never farmed. Go buy all of the stuff to grow tomatoes yourself and see if you spend less than just buying one from a large farm?
--Our current society is redistributing wealth from the lower and middle classes to the upper class.--
That's what they would like and are doing. They want to own it all and rent to you. I don't get that because in the long term it will just destroy the country they live in and building underground shelters wont help them if the middle class completely collapses.
Raising capital gains taxes would help but neither party will do it.
I think decent education is no favor but a right of someone in a just society otherwise we get the same dumb people in charge of things they have no clue about. Why not find our best a brightest and use them. If all he did was say the F word once, then why expulsion?
--They think that by taking a computer they are doing the school a favor.--
They are doing the school a favor by letting the school spy upon them in their off time. Put a piece of tape over the front facing camera.
Now we could get into a discussion why the F word is not necessarily profane. It's just that it offends many people while others could care less.

I would rather avoid both situations.
One other thing cars such as these also have electronics to shut down the engine and brakes going at the same time. So that problem was in the software.
Yeah, and that car better come with and extra set or it will set you back.
No, hit the breaks. Even with an automatic brakes make you stop. If you have a manual transmission push the clutch in too.

They did that before when they had a space program mostly sticking to aeronautics.

I used to be stupid but am feeling much smarter now that I have been to the doctor.

Especially philosophy.

I sure wish I could get conservatives to reduce it too but they have other arguments but do exactly the same thing, print that ole money.
