I have a towball on my Clio which is probably smaller than any car sold in the USA, and smaller than a Model 3. Hell one of the guys I work with has a towball on his Renault Twingo. I've also seen towballs on Smart cars, and on VW UP!s.
I'm sure if you wanted to, you could tow a trailer with a Lamborghini Huracán Performante, but I'd still want the opportunity to laugh out loud at you.
Sure, but it has been said by economists over the world
Economists as a group have pretty much maxed out their moron stats. As a science economics is less rigorous than parapsychology. So if they say it, you can count on it being stupid.
you will find that overall electric cars as they exist today burn more fossil fuel than internal combustion.
Only if coal is the main fuel you use to create electricity. Since the use of coal in power plants is dropping precipitously, electric cars are always greener than ICE cars.
If you have relevant skills for 2017 you should have no problem finding a job anywhere in the US.
And the most relevant skill is being able to pay off your student loan while spending 50% of your income on housing costs. Guys like you and me got our educations back in the day when the expense was pretty trivial. I actually graduated with more money than I started school with, thanks to tuition waivers and working as a TA. It's not like that any more.
I've read slashdot for 17 years
The first step is admitting you have a problem. Good for you.
You probably think Ulysses S. Grant was a great general and decent human being, don't you?
No, Grant was a horrible human being. And Lee was a traitor who fought to protect slavery while trying to assuage his guilt by freeing his own slaves.
Whether or not we tear down their cheaply-made Jim Crow-era statues is not going to change history one bit. There are no statues of Hitler in Germany, but I'm pretty sure Germans know who he is and what he did.
No, because in your example there's no correlation between the people adding 0s to their bank account and the people facilitating financial transactions.
Sure there is. If you add a zero to my bank balance, it will facilitate many more financial transactions by me.
You're talking about paying people for doing nothing to aid the operation of the system, whereas I was talking about paying the people who facilitate the operation of the financial system.
In terms of productivity, those two things are exactly the same.
All of which is to say, mining isn't just a matter of spinning one's wheels without purpose. It produces value for the people making use of that currency.
Based on your description of how virtual currency mining creates value, then couldn't we also create value by adding a zero to the end of our bank balances?
Or more specifically, by having only people with fancy computers add a zero to their bank balances.
You've got it backwards. Individuals first chose to travel paths, eventually wearing footpaths along common routes.
Are you really trying to equate individuals wearing footpaths along common routes with the building of the interstate highway system?
Individuals first sought justice when perceived crimes were committed.
No, individuals didn't "seek" justice. They took it if they were strong enough. Before governments, most people just had to suck up whatever "justice" the warlord wanted to impose. "Justice" was only for the biggest bully.
If it is valuable to allocate resources to activities in space, then individuals can choose to invest their own damn resources in those activities; it is not the purpose of government to make such investments for people, especially against individuals' will.
Do you feel the same way about the interstate highway system? How about waiting for individuals to create their own justice system? Oh wait, that IS what libertarians want.
There are a whole lot of things that are too big for individuals to do. It's why we need government.
As an American, I'm not even convinced New Zealand is a real place. Sure, I watched that show with the little people living the Shire and the wizard and all, but it was mostly CGI.
No, there is no such thing as a "New Zealand". Unlike Nambia, which is totally a real place, but the mainstream media doesn't want you to know that. It's why they lost the election.

Yes, and you can tow those 2,268kg all the way to the end of your block.

What moron said that "data is the new oil", and can we please name and shame him?
I mean, why oil? Why not "the new lupens"? Or, the "new bath salts"? Wait, I know, "data is the new hydrogen".
There have been like 40,000 Model Xs delivered world-wide, so when you say "lots of people tow with a Model X", I guess it's all sort of relative.
Yes, the release of the Panama Papers is a step toward a better world.
If the person who uses the Tesla 3 to tow is on Slashdot, could you please message me? I need to know what the fuck you're thinking.
NOTE: Never mind, I found the guy. He's exactly what I expected, and he's even wearing a fedora.

I'm pretty sure the world would be a better place if the secret emails of Deloitte's "blue chip" clients were made public.
Nah, I believe you dude. I was just poking fun.

If startpage would create an "iGoogle" like portal, I'd pay the $60/month for it in a heartbeat.
Yeah, and on that job you met your wife, Morgan Fairchild, which whom you have had sex.
Sure there is. If you add a zero to my bank balance, it will facilitate many more financial transactions by me.

You make some very good points.
I know, right? Ever since they tore down the statue of Robert E. Lee, I can't remember who won the Civil War.

I'd love to see a herd of cattle blinking like fireflies at twilight.
Lamb chops are also delicious. And if you know how to cook them, lamb ribs are awesome.
Thank you for your service.
There are about 270 million cars in the US. Better to switch to electric and continue enjoying your ribeye steak.
Medicaid health records aren't covered by FOIA.
Thanks for the information and I wish you the best of luck.
