- omginternets 3y agoI think you mean “coal roller”. The term “coal burner” is a racial slur.
- RamblingCTO 3y agoWoops, yes you're right! Thank you for correcting me!
- fsckboy 3y agocoal burner is really a neutral reference that makes a note of race. Your interracial group of friends could say "she's melting snow" or "burning coal" with just a smile, no slur. I've only ever heard the term used in a friendly way. People frequently giggle about sexual matters. Of course, if a racist makes any racial reference, it's generally racist.

- toomuchtodo 3y agoYou only have to go after the largest volume folks, and then put bounties on reporting the small frys (both sellers and the trucks running this gear). Leverage where most efficient.
- Scoundreller 3y agoDepends how broadly the devices covered under this lawsuit are. As cars get more advanced, sometimes you’re just overriding a sensor that broke and there was nothing wrong with the vehicle or its emissions. But fixing the faulty sensor would be a $$$$ fix and a defeat device is far cheaper. Other devices can be used for other situations.
