Back in the 80s a new 100kw FM transmitter was setup in Colorado right next to an EEs house. He couldn't get away from the noise, on the land line, TV etc etc.
He set up a 'faraday wall' (between 99 ft antenna towers) and inverter, harvested about 20% of the stations output, and sold it back to the power company. The FM station sued, they lost.
In the end they worked out an agreement, IIRC the EE got something like 2 or 3 times fair market value to go away.
It already doesn't look good for Tesla. We took apart their claims of better safety on the last two tesla autopilot threads.
Bottom line. Driving on divided highways is about 1/4 as dangerous as all driving. The stat for 'all driving is 1 in 92 million in the USA. Inferred from that the stat for divided highways is (about) 1 death in 368 million miles. Tesla has a long way to go to be as safe, much less safer.
I stopped paying any attention when they reviewed the Corvette as 'unacceptable' because it wasn't a good econo box. Granting that 'vette didn't make more than 200 hp, hence it was so fucking weak it might as well have been an econobox. If CR had said that, I'd still respect them. Instead they bitched about MPG and cargo space.
So you're saying: The Xers are pissed because the millennials are stealing their schtick?
You want whiners? Look back at the boomers when they were college aged. But there were enough of them that they felt self righteous about their whine. Just as they felt self righteous about disco, then BMWs etc etc.
You know what countries with free college tuition also have?
Strict academic standards for admission. Sanders supporters would be working apprenticeships in Germany, not 'going to college' and partying their asses off.
Nations with academic standards for admission would see zero students in 'gender/black/queer studies' programs.
The only thing keeping peace in Iraq was Saddam prior to the war.
The Sunni/Shia was entirely foreseeable. But was also _desirable_ from America's POV. They just couldn't say it or our Allies in the middle east would not have gone along.
There was however plenty linking Iraq to Hezbollah.
Iraq was invaded in large part because Saddam bluffed and blustered.
I admit: I think the Sunni/Shia war heating back up was planned and is a _great_ outcome. Obviously Bush couldn't have said that, or it wouldn't have worked.
It has downsides. Minority parties become kingmakers in coalitions. Coalitions that break up regularly as they don't really agree on anything more than keeping someone else out of power.
I'm not seeing how it's working better for them. Europe is a mess, even after 70 years of having America pay for it's defense.

Carter leaked information about the stealth bomber for political gain.
SDI financially broke the USSR you dolt.
It won't work continuously, but for burst transmission it might.
Stolen? No. Settled law.

That's Mohammed.

That's the 'dude with boobs' version of Mohammed.
The risk for driving on divided highways is about 1/4 that of all driving.
Divided highway risk is about 1 in 360 million.

CR have always been agenda driven morons.

Won't help. 3rd parties will still sue Tesla. You can't waive someone else's right to sue.

They always had the strength to attack the west.
Now they are busy fighting each other, though they still have the strength to attack the west, the distraction is a help.
Saddam definitely supported terrorism. Hezbollah terrorism, nobody denies it.
How about 'I am a democratic socialist' when he openly supported Castro and went to the god damn USSR for his honeymoon?

Vietnam was a pawn battle in the cold war.
The west won the cold war in the end. It wasn't entirely futile.
If we had won in Vietnam, Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge would never have happened.

The R's bible thumpers are just like the D's commies.
The _dumbest_ part of the electorate. They won't turn out unless they see 'one of them' bleating the correct BS on the ticket.
His brain was downloaded onto an grey alien computer in Argentina in the 60s. It's now running on an iPhone.
Nukes saved the world.
Only an idiot thinks Stalin would have stopped absent nukes.
Oppenheimer, Graves and company should have gotten a Nobel peace prize.
Nukes will force Pakistan and India to grow up.
If Iran gets nukes, the counterbalancing Saudi nukes will force them to end their geopolitical childhood as well.
Key quote in that article:
In other words motherjones pretends to not understand corporate finance to bash Trump. SOP.

You don't understand American elections. For those in 'safe states' any vote other than for the one you like best is stupid.
Your POV might make sense in swing states.
If you live in a 'safe state' and vote D or R you are part of the problem.
If you live in a 'swing state' the move is to find a Green/Libertarian buddy. Knowing you're not changing the final vote.
Why? So the media can stop pretending there are only two parties. So the third parties get on debate stages and get federal election funds.
Centrist politicians in Europe went to the USSR for their honeymoon and support Castro?
You're fucking nuts. Those are leftists even in Greece.
Sanders will cost Hillary Florida. Now she is supported by the same man who supports Fidel.
Any other lawyer would have been disbarred for whitewater.
She was on both sides of the case. As a lawyer for the state and as a real estate investor involved in a scam.
Somehow she got away with it, Chelsea's dad died in jail before he could testify against her.
