    Speak for yourself you god damn law abider.

    My car has a compliant ECU once every two years, for just long enough to get it smogged. Then the ECU gets flashed and the cats get put away for safekeeping.

    I'm an attack helicopter. A Super Cobra.

    Don't try and get away with only giving me one turbine, you fascist!

    Restricting my ownership of and open 'chin carry' of a minigun and automatic grenade launcher is also fascism.

    Liar. You seem to think nobody here has been to Europe.

    Coed bathrooms are only in places with single bathrooms that lock when you use them.

    Not undoable, but neither is swapping in a whole aftermarket or alternate year/model ECU.

    If CA secedes from the USA, the next day 80% of the land area (and 95% or the water) secedes from CA and rejoins the USA.

    Not unlike Quebec's problem if they ever seceded from Canada. The next day Quebec would be _much_ smaller and Canada would have a new english speaking province.

    I hope your not putting the port authority forward as an example of anything but a corrupt, organized criminal enterprise, unaccountable pseudo government.

    The automatable production is already coming back or never left.

    The production requiring 'the Chinese army' will move to Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and eventually any parts of Africa that pull themselves together well enough to take investment.

    Grunt hand work isn't coming back to the USA or western Europe anytime soon.

    China has big problems, not guaranteed to blow up in their faces, but no guarantee of success either. Their banking system in particular...

    These days, most 'sport cars' come with mushy suspension, with a dash button to make them slightly stiffer. You should be fine with any of them.

    The locked down ECU ship has, more or less, sailed.

    Security by obscurity doesn't work for long.

    Not what a smog pump does.

    It supplies O2 to the cats to burnoff unburnt hydrocarbons. Tiny volume of gas compared to the engine.

    At this point, Russia is, more or less, a third world nation running a pure resource export (oil and blonds) economy.

    That's _not_ a good place to be, claims of 'long game' not withstanding.

    Putin needs to get Russian capitalism working better, or they have no hope, long term.

    Yes communist bumbling imbecile.

    He's on record supporting Castro. Also he went to the god damn USSR for his honeymoon (visiting Lenin's tomb is a post wedding ritual for reds). I bet he paid the official exchange rate while their, fucking red.

    Once he started triangulating on national politics he started to hide how much of a nut he is.
