So why are people running around proposing solutions? We don't have workable climate models yet that can predict new observations without tweaking. And yet there are people waving treaties around, claiming that they implement the solution and no further studies need to be done.
Its like your smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night. And you don't know whether its the car on fire in the garage or someone left a chicken pot pie in the oven. But everyone is prepared to dive out the windows into the snow.
I don't know about that. Alpha males will respond to authority and a chain of command. Sociopaths tend to be the ones who creep around behind peoples backs. Alpha males tend to be more confrontational, even in a structured setting (violence prohibited, but one can stand up for one's position intellectually).The sociopath might shiv the teacher after school if they get told off. And since most people with well developed social skills can sense the 'crazy', they just give them a wide berth.
what's the benefit for the customer about having dealers instead of direct sales?
I don't know. They are different business models. Each has their up and down sides.
But the argument for protecting franchised dealers is that they are independent businesses who entered into contracts and invested money in their dealerships. And a part of those contracts was an agreement that they would have some territorial exclusivity for a particular manufacturer's product lines. When manufacturers tried to break these contracts, dealers went to their state legislators to have them codified into law.
But Tesla has no independent dealer networks that need such protection. And since pro-business conservatives are such sticklers for the original intent of a law, I don't see how they could back up the dealers' lobbying organiztion (NADA) on this one.
There's other evidence that grit isn't always desirable. Gritty people sometimes exhibit what psychologists call "nonproductive persistence"
I've worked at companies where the bosses pay is based on how many people report to him. He wants a large staff with 'grit'. Not some smart-ass engineer who trys to clean up the process and do the same job with 1/10th of the staff.
And the socipaths win out over everyone. Because manipulating others is the core of their personal philosophy. And they become dangerous when someone trys to 'pull back the curtain'.
Independent GM/Ford/Toyota/whatever dealers don't want to compete with direct manufacturing sales. And they should not have to. Independent Tesla dealers should be protected by the same rules.
What? You're saying there are no independent Tesla dealers? Then it isn't even the same industry we are talking about.
I assume that these will work in a manner similar to dashboard cameras. They will buffer some amount of video continuously and write a specified "pre-roll" window to permanent storage when triggered.
This can't be true. France has some pretty strict gun control laws. Terrorists and criminals should not e a ble to get hold of such weaponry. These reports must be wrong.
... something that suits them. Then there's a court case. Eventually, parallel construction woun't stand up to cross examination and they will have to cough up the Stingray data*. They'll either drop the case or make sure it is being heard by a judge for whom the FBI has some dirt on file.
*I've always wondered about the risks of parallel construction. When law enforcement makes up stories, they are risking geting caught in a lie under oath. Even if that is revealed and they offer to drop charges, a judge with some balls can still charge them with contempt. That this doesn't happen and LE keeps playing their game indicates to me that they have dirt on most of the judges they bring cases before.

So, let the ones who already know test out of the class.
And then send them to phys. ed.

The warmingists have always said 'the science is done'. So, I guess no more research money, right?
The saying "May all your wishes be granted" is a Chinese curse.

Not the sort of bear I expected in a story about Canada.
Never mind.
It's only a 32 bit bus.

That's a line out of Gladiator.
Proximo: Can any of them fight? I've got a match coming up.
Slave Trader: Some are good for fighting, others for dying. You need both, I think.

Used to hear those now and again.
Still hear that one on latex and high heels night.

Close. But in all probability, the Conan writers borrowed it from someplace else.

You could think of all these Second Amendment open carry events as a kind of performance art. So there's your precious first Amendment as well.
