I wonder what kind of good could have been done, or how many lives could have been saved, with the thousands of dollars you've spent on a computer, a car, and a phone that you really don't need.

Or does your outrage only apply to rich people?

Remember when the Republicans in Congress fought against the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? This is why.

The CFPB was actually proposed by Elizabeth Warren, then still at Harvard. She was Obama's first choice for its Director, but her appointment was blocked.

Iran is free, as a sovereign nation, to respond to Stuxnet in any way they see fit. But they know that escalating the situation will probably go poorly for them.

Apparently some Russia shops are pricing items in "Nominal Price Units", which is code for Dollars.

Would you say that the trend is up or down on bitcoin?

That was my first reaction. But the official Uber twitter account sent this-

"We are all concerned with events in CBD. Fares have increased to encourage more drivers to come online and pick up passengers in the area."

Then an hour later, after getting hammered on twitter, they decided to make all rides free. Uber pretty much has the worst PR department I have ever seen.

The decentralized currency that's lost two thirds of its value over the past year or a different one?

The A-10s were cheap to build..back in the 70s. Keeping the A-10 program running in the 21st century actually costs $700M per year.

To nipick, it's actually just under 1.5M atmospheres.

That's not a pun.

I love the old saying "The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese."

You think that cyber-warfare started with Stuxnet? That's funny.

Electric vehicle range is very dependent on weight and drag. So you can certainly convert heavy, boxy cars. And a larger vehicle will give you more room for batteries. But the performance will not be good.

A common conversion is using a small pickup truck, which is cheap and light, and then filling the bed with batteries. Obviously you need a cap over the back.

I've been to a few dozen electric vehicle club meetings in two cities. Maybe one or two people are big environmentalists. Three or four people are hardcore "off grid" guys that don't want to be dependent on refined gasoline. The vast majority are nerds who like building cool stuff.

Your common sense has no place among these dumbass women hating neckbeards.
