To be fair, if its operating from 5m away then nefarious types can just generate the car's interrogation signal from outside your house and there's a chance the key will be close enough to respond.
Much as the article suggests, just the comms channels inverted.
There's a difference between use of public funds and how someone spends their own money.
I don't have to support one to call out unsubstantiated claims of the other.
Most Americans have archaic superstitious beliefs that lead them to poor decision making; at least Devos publicly supports separation of church and state.
Yes, it would be nicer if she acted a little more rationality. I still haven't see seen evidence that she's doing anything wrong in her official capacity.
I'd say society is heavily damaged by sending 30% of the population to university to gain a liberal arts degree that makes them good only for writing idiotic hate articles on the Guardian.
Given the Russell Group universities all charge the maximum the law allows them you must've got your BSc before the current fees were introduced or from a seriously shit uni.
Either way you're not terribly representative of current school leavers looking for a quality education at an affordable price.
Weird. At the top ranked university I went to I did around 5 hours a week. Including lectures, seminars, studying and writing assignments.
Then again it was in the UK, where 'turning up to class' isn't considered relevant to whether you pass or fail, just whether you can demonstrate the ability to learn, communicate and apply the concepts they're covering.
Personally I fucked about for three years at university, got a part time job to cover the rent, learned to program, met a lot of friends I retain decades later and had a glorious time.
Curiously they also gave me a degree (which has fuck all to do with programming). I guess handing in assignments and doing well in exams was all it took.
Graduated with no debt other than the Government student loan which I cleared 2 years later.
I genuinely don't understand people thinking they have to work hard at their degree.
No, his description is accurate for when I went to university. We were taught how to think.
That the current system fails to achieve that is why people are starting to question the value of a degree now in the UK.
There's research that suggests that something like 40% of male graduates would earn more by not going to university. That doesn't even take into account paying off student loans.
this is a bunch of gamers, probably lacking much political engagement
There are over 550 million 'gamers' in China, but feel free to write them off as inconsequential and irrelevant, instead of the majority of people under the age of 50.
I expect their growth to slow mainly because they're catching up with the US and Europe and growth from there is inherently slower. Whether it's further slowed by a change in Government policy or kept above global averages by those policies is going to be interesting in the next couple of decades. But as I said, I expect their growth to slow from its current rate.
Oh, and comically I forgot to mention your curious choice of number.
I think you'll find that rather more than 180k Jewish people prematurely lost their lives between 1938 and 1945. While precise numbers are constantly debated I think 5-6 million is a reasonable estimate.
That didn't go so well for them in the Warsaw ghetto. Still the right option though.
China is a different situation. Many people in China have survived the cultural revolution and seen their children attain a middle class lifestyle. By US or European standards it's horribly compromised but by Chinese standards this is a massive step forward.
They're more likely to celebrate than revolt. Change has happened and it's possible that it'll continue to happen. The current Chinese Government's actions on the Internet are an acknowledgement that they're losing the cultural battle; closing off the current communications routes will merely open others.
That's a tricky one. I can't find any recent cases where this is explicitly the situation but there are a lot of legal advice pages (including from actual lawyers) stating that statutory rape is a strict liability offence to which "the child's fake ID showed them to be of age" is not a defence.
In the UK it's a bit easier: The legal age to drive is a year older than the legal age to have sex so only fuck people that own a car.

In my country we don't have coyotes.
Things that might attack you:
- deer
- badgers
- boar
- pakistani rape gangs
They all run away when they see a man with white skin so I'm safe.
The UK does. Which I found out by accident, by misdialling a number starting with 11...
The lady that answered was not amused. I was well behaved and didn't tell her she answered the wrong fucking number.
Anything that can start a chemical hazard should not be handled by robots.
Surely robots are better, as they're more disposable in the event of an incident.
Nobody sent the robot home when this one happened.
Well, certainly not now it wont be.
Still, good news for the foreign companies Australian organisations outsource to. More work for them.

Maybe in your country but here it's called a manual gearbox.
How you operate it - gear stick, paddles, both - is entirely fucking irrelevant.
Most paddle operated gearboxes are semi-automatic though, no clutch. That's not always the case though.
I want to go for a walk in the countryside. Tell me, how do your 'real' cities stand up to that simple expectation?

PC gamers: Wealthier than the average population. More technically proficient.
That means they're influencers within their social spheres. Family, friends.
They don't need to fight the system. They just need to mention how shitty it is. Others will fight it for them.
Plus your 30 million is too low, according to another post further down.
Indeed. I still only have 3G because it costs less for unlimited data than I can get 4G even just capped.
Sure, it's slower. It's fast enough for mobile use.
If the carriers want to sell me a 5G service then it needs to be cheap and available (i.e. not capped). Fast is just a bonus.

Assuming ancestral low life expectancy doesn't get me, suicide will.
I'm not expecting to get old.
To be fair that would leave the gender imbalance pretty much where it is now. Just skewed male not female.
If that's a problem then maybe there's a problem. Strange that so few feminists want to resolve it.

He said his parents couldn't afford it. Many people can't afford a $100k fucking degree. Shit, if I had kids I couldn't pay that for them.
Maybe you're just fucking lucky but the rest of us have tough choices with our money.
That article's a shitpiece digging into the private donations made by her family and has nothing credible to say about her role in Government.
Do you have any objective sources that actually look at her actions in office?

30 years of growth out of the last 30 is a good track record.

What sort of cunt uses the term 'f bomb'?
There's no fucking bomb. Stop being silly.
