I would think "TAZ" in this case would be bowl, not pelvis.

But "Car of the year" doesn't mean that it was better than a Ferrari, or a Royce either. Also, Fiat lacked Soviet build quality.

Lack of bidets, like insistence on using fixed-head showers (and only fixed head) or putting light switch of a table lamp in the bulb holder, the most inconvenient location, is one of those things that I can never understand about Americans

Fiat that the USSR bought wasnm't exactly a pinnacle of automotive engineering to begin with (as an American joke goes, FIAT stands for "Fix it again, Tony", doesn't it?) Initially, while all the Italian equipment was op

What Rubin says makes sense, viz. Sanders. Not that this is any kind of choice one would want to make. Also, it is not at all surprising that it would be right-wing nut jobs who would approach Damore -- as we can see even here, no one else

Are you comparing Kochs with Hitler? Seriously? That's a good way to godwin any discussion, but does not bring anything meaningful to the table.

They might. Or might not. I think the question here is whether the Reason Foundation identifies with them.

Mostly that it pales ion comparison with what US Military-Industrial Complex had produced, and that a lot of it would not have been produced in the first place without massive supplies from US (and to lesser degree UK).

The final sentence in the GP seems to strongly suggest so.

One could also try to, you know, read what they publish rather than scaremongering about the Evil Kocv Brothers. Not that anyone so far managed to point at anything particularly nefarious that Kochs do, other than them being rich and active

You do realize that all the production necessary to win the war was done by countries that did have weekends.

Well, obviously somebody in Texas disagrees, and from my layman's cursory reading of the law, I don't think Vote.org is unquestionably right. They might be, but I would not be claiming "voter suppression" right away.

It has something to do with the fact that few people live that long.

There very much are people who miss the USSR. Some are paid for it. Some honestly miss it because... well, I don't want to go into analyzing national mentality here, but there's a Russian saying that goes "if they are afraid

Or, for doing absolutely nothing. It didn't even matter if they actually were "rich" or not.

And why pretty much every Soviet citizen would have killed for a business trip (leisure trips very pretty much impossible) to even the poorest third-world country?

The quality of those benefits (if you could even claim them) was rather lacking, though.

I'm all for making it easy. Why couldn't Vote.org just do what the official site does, but add the function of printing it out on their end and mailing the pre-filled form to the voter. Maybe even with a stamped envelope included?

I read the law that you linked, and with all the IANAL disclaimers, deputy registrar does not apply to Vote.org. Lawyers might have to fight it out, but the SOS position seems to have at least some merit -- whatever Vote will send to the co

But of course you don't have to go to DMV (or rather DPS, in Texas). If you can go to vote.org you surely can go to https://webservices.sos.state.tx.us/vrapp/index.asp and have it generate an official application

Of course you could just register to vote by itself. So while I would not put some nefarious motives past people who elect Ted Cruz, this particular instance seems less about voter suppression, and more about millenials wailing that they ha

I dunno... It took me all of 15 minutes to get TX license and voter registration (too bad they do not share it across the board, and I am getting bombarded with all those fake "surveys" about yet another stupid California propos

Kelt cognac as well. Not bad, but is it really better than ones that did not do it? I don't think so.
444.
by Fins 8y ago
Yeah, that's better, but of course it means that you either can use that button on the steering wheel for AC, or you can use it for something else. And I am not sure if having reprogrammable buttons in a vehicle is a good idea. If I am

Good thing I don't plan to get a Toyota, then. And at one point they were known for good ergonomics. On the other hand, in my 2011 car (and it wasn't exactly anything new at the time either), adjusting AC does not require looking
446.
by Fins 8y ago
Granted, the other reason was that because of Pajamacare, health plans that are "too good" get taxed excessively.

by Fins 8y ago
Not aq big fan of Toyota's design, but is their UX seriously worse than "oh, let's control AC system from a touchscreen" nonsense from Tesla?

Of course. Since the company actually does have some decency (being privately held helps, too) eventually they just decided, as I hear, to simply convert to a (still generous) regular insurance plan.

It is also quite interesting that the article (such as you can comprehend from the butchered translation) talks about all of those "computers" (that until the 90's almost nobody had actually seen) being based on some other So

Well, when I was working there, employee premiums where exactly 0, company picking up the entire tab, but I am quite sure that this stuff does happen.
