Techs put up with stealerships, as a gauntlet. Five years maximum at the dealer, now you can work someplace that doesn't abuse the fuck out of you. Dealer techs are 90% recent 'Wyotech' grads (OBD monkeys), 10% longtimers looking to get out. Walk around the shop area at your dealer. Find a tech over 30...
They don't _make_ factory parts for your car after seven. The dealer gets parts delivery from the same parts stores as any shop. Certified? LOL.
Dealers have recently (last few years) started to add an hourly 'shop fee' to the labor rate, $20/hour is typical. That's _more_ than they pay the techs.
Lose their franchise for poor service? Nonsense. Name one that has. Dealers get convicted of fraud and keep their franchise. Selling too few cars is the only way to lose your franchise (or having supported the wrong political party during a bailout, but that's another discussion). Even if you are convicted of stealing from the finance company and having your wife killed in a fake kidnapping, you get to sell the stealership.
Those other old cars? They belong to the techs. You are a fairly unique chump, taking a beater to a stealership.
Resale value? Not unless you're talking about an exotic. Nobody cares where you had a 14 year old car serviced, at all. They car how good a vacuum it pulls at idle etc.
The only reason to get near a stealership is to maintain warranty.
First: For normal theft victims, the cops will write you a report, for you insurance. Fuck off if you want anything more. Note how similar this story is to the dude that found the iPhone prototype in a bar. Apple owns at least a few cops...they jump for Cook.
Second: Who included this phone in the stolen batch? Could it be anyone but Apple?
Women score much higher on the big 5 personality assessment metric 'neuroticism'. He wrote 'neurotic', which used to mean 'mental but functional', as opposed to 'psychotic'. Not sure it has any meaning now.
They typically shout 'Police, open up' a half second before breaking down the door. But so do other crooks, that don't wear blue.
The fact the let this guy answer means they were going easy on him. That and they didn't nail his head to the floor, as a warning.
SF cops are easy, most places, they'd keep the phone, until your _lawyer_ could 'prove it'. It would come back broken, with some cop's kid's data in the flash. Anybody could have printed that recept.
Expecting that from a dealer IS stupid. You will generally get factory parts, if the car is newish. Dealers don't stock parts for cars over seven years old. They know they don't see anything older. 'Dealer only' parts are almost always special order BTW...had a car with 'dealer only' windshield wipers.
Tech talent? You obviously don't know how dealerships treat their techs. Finding a trustworthy independant can be difficult. Play stupid, see if they try and cheat you. Don't expect them to 'stay the same' ether. Get to know the good tech, if (s)he leaves, worry. The thing to remember is: There are no trustworthy dealership service departments. Filter you search for a trustworth shop appropriately.
The key thing to look for is accurate diagnosis. If they go rounds and rounds, installing new parts, they're just OBD monkeys, find a better shop. You could do that. They're supposed to have done it 1000 times and know what 'these cars from these years' do. At least if you had the sense to buy a reasonably common car.
There is a little over 5 million Norwegians, about 60k people in the 'aviation industry' nationwide.
They aren't going to fund anything like a new airliner by themselves, no chance. They're in a league with the flat earther rocket launch. Should get a Vans kit and start with that.
No, he's repeating derp told him by his commie middle school teacher. Adults could do better, even a dumb adult would do better, unless they were going to tell the story to gullible kids.
Now people not only have a 'right' to a house, they have a right to a house where they want it?
People live where they can afford, if there aren't enough shit job workers, the pay for shit jobs goes up (and they live 4 to a room, at the end of a long commute).
This is _not_ broken, this is how the world works. It's the best way to allocate limited resources.
SF has been unaffordable for decades. The people bitching are entitled 'trust fund shits' who's trust fund no longer covers SF. They had no sympathy for the actual working people they drove out decades ago.
Same people who currently own them. Not in general the state(s). Water districts are government chartered regional non-profits, they own a buttload.
In terms of realpolitik, the rural counties is where the vast majority of the watershed is. But everybody knows history. 'Aggressive dams' are easier to blow up than build.
Bet the conservative parts would dismantle Hetch hetchy though, just to stick a finger in the SF hypocrites eye. Delta water is good enough for them.

Most 'DBAs' are overpaid backup monkeys.
The ones that aren't, are backend database _programmers_.
Jesus tits you've tripled down on moron.
N Cal has INXS water in rainy season (now), it runs off melting snowpack during the summer.
Half the water that irrigates the actual desert parts of CA comes from the Sacramento river, the other half comes from the Colorado river.
You really should visit, or just run with 'idiot and proud', it seams to be working for you.

How could it not be apple's fault?

That's the worst thing they can find in the memo.
Or a marriage proposal.
You start with a wildly general statement.
You end with a criticism of a wildly general statement, that wasn't actually in the GP's post.

Obama is out of office now. We're OK in the short term. One or two dead SC justices and we're good for a generation or two.
The current, somewhat popular, fascists are waving hammer and sickle flags. But they're just fringe loonies, no power off university campuses.

Hybrid, not battery. Huge difference.
But don't let that get in the way of your preselected conclusion.
To 'have it' by 2022 they would have to be flying a prototype today. Not possible.
Note: That plane uses 'off the shelf' proven engines and isn't breaking any new ground, except Chinese manufacturing.
The average settlement for being falsely accused of shoplifting is $50k.
Apple is almost certainly on the hook in this case. They will settle quickly and quietly, to limit bad press. It will be well over $50k.
Now everybody knows your a liar.
You made bad choices, live with the consequences. Suck it up.
Counterfire...get it done.

Now you're a civil engineer too?
I don't want to live in SF, Hong Kong or Manhattan. Those that do obviously don't think it's too dense.
It's obviously physically possible to build deep foundations and build up, not everywhere, but enough places.
Now people not only have a 'right' to a house, they have a right to a house where they want it?
People live where they can afford, if there aren't enough shit job workers, the pay for shit jobs goes up (and they live 4 to a room, at the end of a long commute).

No cites. I'm treating the original claim as bullshit.
You should visit CA some time. It will help you not be such a blithering idiot.

So you should be able to point me to one that's well into it's FAA type certification process. Being 'close' to ready. Cite?
By 'puddle jumper' you mean commuter airliner, right?
How long do you think the lead time for commercial aircraft is? Not ultralights or piper cub speed light aircraft, new commercial aircraft.
2040 isn't completely undoable, but they better have improved batteries soon or the schedule is blown. Norway isn't a big enough market by itself.
