Also note retirement accounts are subject to being split for divorce, but they are protected from lawsuit. So loading up your 401k will prevent you being sued and having your assets taken.

By all reports, Trump can't stay focused on any one thing more than a few minutes, whether it was 20 years ago talking to reporters, people working for him, whatever. So he's not likely to be the person who will care about a long

And obviously we all drive much much faster on average than people did in the 1930s, yet we are much much safer.

Your reasoning is extremely flawed. We have fewer deaths on the road because we added safety features and have road features designed to address what caused accidents in the past. Newer cars have way more horsepower and acceleration than in

The Trumper-net will be much better than our archaic free-form hippy internet of today. We will look back on the old one and simply say: Sad! We'll all be much safer because President Trump will mandate no private encryption systems th

It's hard to take your comment seriously. Breitbart might use "words" and "paragraphs" from other sources, but they live in a different, fact-free world. They are generally advocating something, leading you toward t

They have been enforced, against of all things sandwich shop workers. Those are mostly just to scare low income workers from leaving their job.

Buying nextstep on intel (I think it was os 3.3, it cost like $800) was the last big thing I invested in that turned out to be a big mistake, but I'm lucky :-) I happened to think google glass would never go anywhere but that was lucky

However, a fair number of tea party members in congress were actively promoting defaulting on the debt. That's different than some random guy with a page on the internet. That's a lawmaker with a vote who can affect the outcome. S

The goal of the temp lawsuits, at least when I was at microsoft (in a fulltime job) imho was to get tons of money for the stock options they would have received if they had been regular fulltime employees. They were almost full timers, exce

If men can see other women, but women must be 'faithful' with only one man, there's a clear scaling limitation. And I am assuming he was not bi. He should have said " We can have sex with other women", then he'

So okay, electric cars don't work for every scenario, that's not exactly news. There didn't used to be any gas stations either, and over time they were added. EVs are a tiny percentage of cars, and charging time will keep imp

You can either use automatic adjustment of brightness and color scheme when it gets dark, or you can adjust it yourself. You can make it so dark you can barely see anything. It's not a problem in practice.

I think your second sentence is wrong or at least very misleading. The bolt is not the only long distance practical ev. The tesla model s and x are exactly that. The bolt is cheaper, and has great range (less than existing teslas), but the

Amp hours seems like the wrong measure. How many volts are the batteries? Tesla's kwh is much clearer. A tesla with 85kwh is rated for 425 km (265 miles). The only reason I can imagine to use amp hours instead of kwh is to hide the fac

It's questionable to say the i8 is better than the Tesla. The i8 is cooler looking than a tesla. But it's a hybrid, with about 15 miles electric only range. It's just a plug in hybrid. After having had a tesla, I'd never

I don't think either of those documents says that Soros wants to federalize US police. Soros is a progressive, and progressives want to limit the power of police, and limit the militarization of police forces. I believe Soros is on boa

It's unique within our solar system, the only one we have details about. I think it's fair to state that as being unique. The implication (that we don't know about other solar systems) doesn't need to be stated, at least
