The thing about VW and EVs is that they can't make a decent electrical system for an ICE vehicle, why on earth would we think they could create a full EV?
I suspect the orbits wouldn't last long and they'd burn up within a couple of years. But even so, I'm HIGHLY skeptical that a clump of cubesats are going to be visible enough for this to be viable.
Oh, and there aren't any *unjustified* prejudices against gamers.
I've done this any number of times. Amazon does flag reviews that they can correlate to a purchase, but I have never been prohibited from entering one.
So true. Perhaps they're starting to realize that the ideas I always hear "libertarians" spouting are exactly the ones that the Cheeto administration is enacting, and gee wow the exploiters are exploiting more.
This. I had a townhouse; the other side was owned by a jerk who slammed his doors/cabinets and pounded up and down his stairs constantly.
Then he left the country and had an agency bring in renters. I then had to deal with cigarette smoke that violated the CC&Rs, meat stench, and frat boy subwoofer-rap parties every weekend. They literally would pound on the walls when watching their sportsball.
When I was starting out and lived in apartment, I had to deal with people stomping above me 24x7. From the other sounds I'm pretty sure there was a brothel there.
When you live in an apartment, you can't fix anything and generally aren't allowed to even hang pictures on walls. Until relatively recently, single-family houses were the only way to *own* something vs the perpetual rent cycle that left you with no equity when you hit 70.
Take a cab? First, jump out in front of one; that's the only way to get one to stop. Deal with the driver pretending to not know where your destination is, and hitting the vehicle's horn 7-8 times a minute while you're stuck in gridlock.
Rather than fixing the symptoms, fix the *problems*:
1) Stop forcing people to live in greater NYC 2) If they're afflicted with Stockholm syndrome and choose to stay there for some bizarre reason, don't make them travel to an office so they can sit in front of a computer all day.
You aren't wrong. People who live there are fanatical about being stuck in a perpetual cycle of renting a shitty apartment for $4000 a month, so they can enjoy smoke, urine, crowds, and urine, ie. the streets.
The subway system is more of the same. No guidance about how to pay or navigate the thing, pervasive filth. 25% of the trips I've taken on it I've seen someone in my party groped by a stranger.
The GP is 100% correct that the electoral is anachronistic bullshit. Cities aren't voters, and neither are states. People are, and they're the only granularity that should matter.
Popular vote can't be manipulated by gerrymandering.
I've yet to see a "state's rights" argument that wasn't thinly-veiled elitism designed to perpetuate the feudal system. The electoral college disenfranchises millions of voters. There is no legitimate argument that a 51:49 vote in a given state rationally translates to all of the electoral votes going to the 51 candidate.
I've only had to go to Vegas once, for a presentation at the Hard Rock. My room experience:
o Check into my room, on a designated non-smoking floor. o ~1am awakened by partiers in the adjacent room. One of those setups where there are doors between rooms. The gap under the door was easily an inch tall. Mixed tobacco and weed smoke was coming through. o Called the front desk. They say they'll send someone up. They don't, and it continues. The perps should have been ejected. And really there is zero justification for there to be *any* smoking in a hotel anywhere. o Call the desk again and demand another room. o They take me to a room that HAS ASHTRAYS AND REEKS OF SMOKE. "We figured the larger room would compensate" o Next I'm taken to a room that HAS SOMEONE SLEEPING IN IT o Fourth room is finally livable, at 4am.

Not that one can actually buy a Fit EV...

Or harvested for organs / Bodies exhibits.
They came up with PAL just to be contrarian, after all.
... and working to block vehicle fuel economy standards.
Are you talking about bitcoin, or the White House?
You mean you don't like the literal swampy weather, and cockroaches the size of your head?
... if you don't mind having to have your food flown in, and not having educational opportunities for any kids you might have.
Were they ever *on* a list? Why is "someone you've never heard of does something you don't care about" news?
Agreed. Moreover: " try and tow it"
I cringe every time I see "try and" written instead of "try to".
Like having a family? A yard for your kid / dog to play in?
In my case I have a family member who for reasons I won't go into is incompatible with shared walls/floors/ceilings.

Fuck shared walls.

DeVos wants to change that
And yet handguns are those where nobody has even a tenuous excuse for owning one. Shit, even Lynyrd Skynyrd did a song about this.

I had a John Deere commercial mower with a setup that was similar in some ways.
One way to do that is to stop mistaking animals for food. Animal agriculture is responsible for a significant fraction of deforestation.
The microspheres trouble me, though - they will get *everywhere* and we already have a growing problem of pervasive plastic particles.

So, fuck any Hard Rock, and fuck Vegas.
Nonetheless it is or should be SOP for an employee to knock before entering any room. I have seen eg. housekeeping do this routinely.
There is zero excuse for entering without knocking.
But are the other places in Maryland okay? Baltimore is kind of scungy too.
