Many politicians use this diversionary tactic to accuse others of the very thing they're doing. In this case, the left was just trying to smokescreen its way out of responsibility. Expect to see it from the right.

I have a Lexus LX, one of the most expensive Lexus vehicles ever made. I love it. It was made in Japan.

Tesla panel gaps and quality are fine. They had some early issues, but the damn things are basically body panels hung off of almost entirely cast chunks of metal. There is not a lot of room for wiggle. If anything, they're so we'll integrated that they're hard to repair after a crash.

Am I reading this right? 130 km/h is ~ 80 mph. In the US, doing 80 in a 70-zone doesn't upset most police officers.

Prescribing what (to you) is acceptable behaviour to a free person is wrong.
Starlink now has many laser crosslinks and no longer requires a base station to be in its line of sight.
Anything sounds wonderful if you ignore the problems.
Re:Hyundai to buy 'thousands' of Boston Dynamics robots on Tuesday April 08, 2025 @10:12AM (#43622023)
Correct. They've become significantly cheaper to run, and their lifetime costs are vastly more affordable.

In the 1960's, getting a car to 100,000 miles was an achievement; now, the car is just getting broken in.

For Multimode, they now make splices where you jam the two cleaved ends into the splice. It costs about $5 per splice.
If anything, such an extensive system should have better controls than a small business. Given that, there are trillions of dollars flowing around of other people's money.
Aren't they taking away the 'command' part of the government? No government, no command.

>> The Thermette, a simple and effective device for boiling water outdoors over an enclosed fire, was invented by Manawatū plumber John Hart and patented in 1931

The Kelly Kettle was produced in Ireland decades before. The Thermette is a knockoff.
