   Strange that someone would get a degree in mechanical engineering, then go into IT.

   Expensive cars in the Aldi’s parking most likely means a fat car loan, not an indication of wealth.

   Exactly. All the plastic shit made in China can end up back in China.

   I think doing away with the warehouses isn’t compatible with conquering the last of retail; same day delivery. Even next day is cost prohibitive for drop shipping as it requires UPS or FedEx. Amazon goal is same day delivery using low paid

   Hell, my math teachers in high school were the coaches. Geometry - Volleyball Algebra II- Football Trigonometry-Track I wish I had a math teachers who taught math as a main function, not a secondary. At least my daughters middle school math

   I remember when Uber was “supposed” to be a ride sharing service where you could make extra money along your intended destination. It wasn’t touted as a taxi service.

   I believe the USA federal definition of a weapon is a blade over 3”. Though they still won’t let you carry a less than 3” blade on a plane.

   Yeah, but it’s YOUR car getting dirty, not Teslas. Tesla wants your car to become part of the fleet when you are not driving it.

   Sorry for the experience, but this is great comic material. LMAO. How clean will these cars be when they are fully automated? Funny to think Tesla wants you to send your personal car off to a taxi fleet when not in use.

    Funny that they should ignore the old fogies without influence, as they are the ones that can most afford the Apple junk. I’m pushing 50, and I don’t need a fucking loan to buy an iPhone.

    So what’s the GPA of these students that bribed their way in? If it’s normal, then that says the curriculum of these schools is nothing special.

    Yeah, I bought an Anker one for work. I had to go to Microcenter, and start opening packages to find one that was UL listed.

    They exact ones (Vojo 12W USB charger) are no longer sold (huh, wonder why), but these are similar: https://www.amazon.com/VOJO-Charger-Adaptive-Charging-QUALCO... The Belkin ones are UL certified, and I bought several of t

    It’s not just batteries. I had an Amazon purchased USB wall charger start smoking and burning the enclosure. Fortunately we were home when it happened. I won’t buy any non NRTL certified (i.e. UL, TUV, etc) electronics that plug into AC p

    This may have better odds of getting around the Chicken Tax than imported diesel pickups. The Sprinter vans are imported knocked-down, then re-assembled. I’d like a flat-bed diesel Toyota like you can buy in Australia.

    They are trying to implement that tax here in KS. To screw me even further, the property tax is based on a average depreciation for all vehicles. Thus the used 2015 Leaf that I bought for $8,500 was taxed at $23k for a two year old car.

    Every time I design a circuit it seems I have to find new indicator LEDs. I can’t standardize on a single part as they are consistently out of stock.

    Remington just doesn’t have that many interesting guns. There are a ton of firearms manufacturers in the last 20 years. I’m guessing the AR-15 market alone is billions in revenue.

    Also, with the number of CCH licenses, those don’t needs a NICS check.

    Have you tried a Honda Clarity? It has decent space inside and gets 45 miles/charge.

    No catch. A 2015 base model with fast charger option. Bought it in 2017. A ton of these 2015 were coming off 2 year leases in 2017, and I bought it off a guy who re-sells then from auctions. So I wonder what he got it for at auction?

    Maybe you are in the KC area. KCP&L had $10k rebates in Leafs. I was going to buy a new one, but the dealers were total assholes, jacking up the prices to compensate for the rebate. I ended up buying a used one. I’ll buy a Tesla next

    GM better have something up their sleeve. With the plant closings to divert $ to electric and driverless R&D, I have not read of any new EV models or AI progress.

    Why would it be outdated? It has 200+ miles range.

    Yep, I bought a 2 year old one with 19k miles for $8,500.

    I don’t want the USA to turn into India or China, where your academic fate is decided by some cruddy standardized test given in 5th grade.
