As someone working bottom up, and who drives maybe 2 times a month, this argument is weak, and ignores the basic social structures that have evolved around the implicit incentives to engage in the tragedy of the commons.
This is a threshold of evidence required of exactly 0 other taxes and government activities, and in the face of pretty substantial economic and scientific research saying exactly that. I think that it's fair to reject your special pleading.
Sure, accusing someone who wants to kill an entire ethnic group under the guise of killing a particular religion of being a bigot is "bigotry too". Lamest. Argument. Ever.
The rest of your post is off-topic, stupid, bigoted, and uninteresting, but I'd like to point out that being sold "upriver" would have been considered a good thing, comparatively, since downriver agriculture was crueler than upriver slave jobs. The expression you just used would mean "putting Israel into a slightly less inhumane situation".
You say that as if the engine fan would keep working, spark plugs can keep firing, the engine doesn't flood(through, say, the tailpipe, or oil system), or a ton of other basic risks. All an electric motor needs to keep working is insulation to prevent shorts. Which it SHOULD have anyways.
Well, I'll admit the price is exactly the reason I am not buying one, but the good news is, the more they sell at this price, the stronger the secondary market will be. Electric cars have vastly lower maintenance costs with how little metal-on-metal goes on inside them, so it's forseeable for used Teslas to stay on the market longer than gas cars, thus driving down the used car price.
Or you could read the article and see that in the areas considered for the tests, many of the common safety tests wouldn't even work, they couldn't roll the car over with standard techniques, they couldn't crush the passenger compartment with a standard crusher, and they had a HUGE crumple zone.
While, frankly, I'm okay with resurrection, as a backup, there is no way I'm paying for a service I have to die to use. There is zero contract enforceability.
Also roblimo and his slashvertisements are all so blatant, it's insulting.
The reason it became a meme is because someone submitted that headline, while netcraft itself was in no position in the industry to confirm much of anything. That's the joke. Someone actually thought "netcraft confirms it" meant anything at all, and it was funny. And reiterated about whatever the next few articles were. Meme became ensconced.
Please, they don't bear guises of stupidity. They they pretend to be "doing the right thing". I think you're seriously overestimating the competence of lawmakers here.
The internet has precipitated a rise of self-congratulation and echo chambers that magnify and enhance conspiracy theories in the minds of the sufficiently credulous. This has allowed thought diseases like vaccine paranoia, chemtrails, and reptoids to spread rapidly among the at-risk populations.
My proposed cure is that everyone be forced to have a 5 minute debate with a random individual they disagree with about their core beliefs. This should allow the spread of the "mental antibodies" that help resist this kind of infection*.
*this method is pending clinical trial, and people who take my ideas seriously enough to schedule a clinical trial.
Yeah, I've seen many people make similar choices when tuitions spiked for "in-state" students here. Good quality engineering degrees dropped for being too expensive.

We let market forces dictate the success or failure of these tactics
The same market forces that cause no one I know to actually own a blackberry?
Yeah, they aren't doing that. Blizzard stopped being a company I was interested with starcraft 2, and haven't started again since.
Well, if you want something to feed your cynicism, it's pretty reasonably supported that graphene causes cancer, if it gets in your body.

No, he's the ex-editor-in-chief, predating dice by a long time. But all he ever posts is shilling for things. It's really weird.
Fine, the car's battery/alternator would short, destroying the wiring. Just like an electric.

Fuck him for selling Israel up the river.

We'll see if that hold true 3-10 years from now.
Gasoline engines are well noted for their ability to work underwater.
You invent a cheaper rechargeable battery that matches LiIon on energy density, and congratulations, you've reduced the price of a model S.

I was explaining the origin. I'm confused how that can be your point.

Post what you know to their white-hate system: not reproducible with that information. No money.
Reproduce it yourself: violating TOS. No money.
Yeah, I totally recall how the UN wasn't involved in bosnia at all. Or maybe that's the opposite of what is true
Your comments near the top have no actual science in them FYI.
Oh yes, there's no way I'm engaging with people who post disagreeing with me. (Self fulfilling posts are best posts).
Yep, if you give the same contract to every single person you deal with, it's not really a contract, and more of an imposition.
