That's all "distracted" driving is. You want to "plug into" my phone? GET A WARRANT!
There really isn't any difference between texting and driving than reaching down to pick up something
you dropped, changing the radio station you were listening to, turning around to talk to someone,
looking at yourself/makeup in the mirror and on and on. It ALL falls into the category of C&I driving.
CARELESS and IMPRUDENT driving.
Is NOTHING compared to the age of the Earth.
It's been warmer, it's been colder, and NOT because of man, but because of that "tiny" star about 93,000,000
miles away, but, socialist have indoctrinated a couple generation of the world's population into believing it is
all man's fault, to enable the world to surrender itself to a "new world order" of the United Nations.
Sad that people are that naive to believe man, short of a global thermonuclear war, could "change the climate"
Look up the data between earth temperatures and the sunspot activity, or lack of activity.
Don't know or care if it is true...but...
"Only white man could cut bottom off blanket, sew it on top and think he have longer blanket".
This "daylight savings time" idea is something that needs to go away. Before 24/7 connectivity and
what not, when people (and businesses) wanted more time AFTER work, to do things, it was ok.
But, it's time to shelve DST.
Everyone "demands" a so called livable 15 dollar an hour wage (which MOSTLY only benefits union employees, which is why you see "big labor" and democrat politicians pushing it...kickbacks & union automatic wage increases).
If labor costs to a business go up. Two things can happen. Either you INCREASE the price of the goods you sell, or YOU CUT LABOR costs.
In our office, the "boss's wife" is the one who actually runs things. Pretty much the entire office is scared to death
of her. Not me...don't care...she wants me gone, then I'll take my talent elsewhere.
She had a meeting with the administration staff a few weeks ago. One of the first things I heard that she said was
"I want your butts in those chairs at 8am and except for lunch...I want them IN those chairs until exactly 5pm!
Apparently, she didn't like the fact that one or two of the women admin staff were "changing clothes" (they like to
work out after work), would get up at 4 minutes til 5pm, to change clothes.
Like I said...she is the "ice princess"
Market saturation, and the price of phones now, is causing consumers to KEEP what they have.
Phones of the last few generations, if the battery holds out, are "good enough" for 99% of consumers
usage. Once the $1,000 barrier was broken, more people are HOLDING onto their phones longer.
Why do you think the "rush" to make a folding screen, no matter how stupid they look.
1. Most of Europe would fit inside the USA. In other words, we are SPREAD OUT.
2. In the USA, there are what, at&t, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and that's pretty much it, discounting the MVNO's.
All your GREEN energy can't hold a candle to one nuke plant.
The problem with your solar/wind crap, is that you can't "spool up" like you can with
a nuke plant when demand goes up.
My car is limited at 114mph, but I've seen a TON of software chips that would unlock it.
This will be the same. The factory cars will be locked, but they can be "cracked".
The fastest I've ever driven, was when I was a dumb kid...120mph in my 69 Galaxie fastback,
with the 490 4bbl carb. Young and dumb. Now, even on the interstate, I rarely go over 75.
Pop some EMP's, kill off most of the population that will freak out if the grid goes down, their phones/computers stop working, they can't drive to Starbucks. Then once things die down, someone goes and gets the backup and we hit the
reboot button LOL.
911 systems that have phase II (E911, phase II) is "suppose" to get you within 50 to 150 meters
which is between 150 feet to 500 feet max which sounds "close" unless you are on the other
end of the 911 call screaming for help. Shoot, when I was dispatching, we had to figure out
WHERE they lived by the "well, you go down the old creek road where that barn got hit by
lightning, turn right (and right could be north, south, east or west depending on where they
were coming from!) then I'm right next to that barn that has that horse that always follows the
cars. Heck, everyone knows where I live. (I always wished people in the rural areas were given
flare guns...we'd send the patrol unit in the area, and if they heard a siren, shoot the flare up in
the air, and blink the porch light on and off!).
I'm sure the government has MUCH better accuracy than 911 systems, but, it's still a crapshoot
unless you have the equipment.
"NASA says iceberg calving is "a normal part of the life cycle of ice shelves, but the recent changes are unfamiliar in this area."
Yeah, unfamiliar in this area, in the what, just over 150 years of watching it? Which is but a blink of an eye, considering the age
of the Earth!
It's called a CYCLE. It's been warmer, it's been colder, NOT because of "man".
I prefer the old style navigation buttons. I don't care for something FORCED on me.
Just leave the option to change it. I mean, make it the default, but allow it to be changed
back. But, Google is starting to wall stuff off and making a locked down garden.
Why do you think the pharmacy industry gives you all the sob stories wanting more money for "research into a cure" because they know if they CURE something, they are OUT of business.
any other store. One, I pass in weekly travels, is 15 miles from anything that would have any "grocery"
items. In that 15 miles, there must be 40-50 homes. It's a perfect location, so people don't have to
travel 20-30 miles to get things they need. Maybe the "super stores" are overpriced?
Good lord! How many of us didn't screw around and modify crap when we were kids?
I did! I took pretty much everything apart I could get my hands on when I was a kid.
Gee, LOBBYIST don't want US to repair our OWN things. Granted, if you buy something
on a lease/loan, "technically" it is still their device or product, but by God, if I buy it, own
it, I'll do as I please!
Ok, NOW I get it. Not having to pull my phone out of the belt clip-case 3,403 times to see who is calling,
texting, emailing is definitely worth it! The nice addition to having it show the heart rate, sleep pattern is
just a bonus.

Wives, politicians, brat kids, crying babies that people take to restaurants etc?
I probably don't want to "find" it anyway.
We all know how well THAT will work. It will uninstall the "update" and who know's what else!
Of SOCIALIZED Obamacare medicine. Take a pain pill and go home. You are elderly, a "drain" on the rest of our comrades.

Betcha the higher ups at (Cr)apple still drive/ride in limos, SUV's, take private jet trips, live in huge McMansions. Do as I say, not as I do.
This DUDE got put in prison!

If you aren't capable of using a screen name, then I discount posts because, you ARE a coward.
