These are the same asshats (feds run by leftist expletives) that
pumped nearly half a billion dollars into Tesla, the electric car company.

  According to Ed Wallace of http://www.insideautomotive.com/ (he has a radio program where he
went on at length about Tesla car company today)
This outfit is in over its head 300,000 dollars in per car for cars they expect to sell for some 120k or there abouts.
  They claim to expect to sell 20,000 units per year. To date they have only sold some few 1000.

  Bottom line according to MY reading of what Mr Wallace said is that this company is a shill and sham
that will accomplish taking money from foolish investors that came late to the game and US Taxpayers who
as we can all bear witness appear to be fools as well.

    Expect no less from this expenditure of YOUR money.. (assuming you are a American taxpayer).

      I recommend anyone take a listen to his show when it is on Saturday AM.
      Great site for talk show junkies is http://streamingradioguide.com/radio-shows-on-air.php
     

  THEY ignored Ripley too and we saw where that ended up.

  THEY will ignore a visionary like you as well.

  THEY always do.

  Pity the fools.

qoombah99 blurted: "One more thing: Always label the axes on a plot dammit. and then always tell people in words what the axes are BEFORE you tell them what the plot says."

  Is this the US military your advising? Do they still use a lot of axes?
    Sounds like good advice though. I'd hate for some grunt to confuse
    F Wood Axe for chopping wood.

    F Tosser Axe for wood shaving

    F Fire Axe (For hitting fire with)

    F Hurlbat (just to confuse em).

    F Danish Axe (Often found in upper end pastry shops)

    F Axis Axe (Used to prune excess axes down to a single axis)

Hey, THMS.

  I suspect you'd be as much fun at the movies as Chloe O'Brian from the series
24 would be.

  Dry.

    Chill.

  It's why I say listen to Ripley you dolts. (situational variance)

  As she said, "Just nuke the site from orbit, just to be sure."

  Problem furking solved. Move along now, nothing to see here SOON.

  Use the maximum force possible to cover up errors.

  Fuck all that sensible talk.

  I say nuke the site from orbit, just to be sure.

  Ripley was right.

  These stinking capitalist pig companies only care about one thing. Profit.

  It is obvious what the Obama crowd should do. Seize control of them and make these old school
for profit companies work for the people. Any and all stock holders should be shot dead for not
having the peoples interest at heart.

  THere is no room for rigorous capitalism in the New Era - Hope and Change- America under
  Obama and his Marxist (progressive) sidekicks.

  Okay, maybe I'm ahead of the curve but only a fool doesn't see where we are going.

  Laugh away , fools.
  Your next.
  Oh, Cheers.
    Your future is to bow to your Chinese Overlords.

  Signed, unhappy Texan that said 'I told you so' over a fraking decade ago. But did you listen? nooooooooooo.
    Vent off.

  Perhaps I should have been more clear.

  I wasn't trying to support this crazed cell phone idea.

  I was merely pointing out to you that there are people who can not detect odors, something you seem to lack
knowledge of.
  My odor detecting lackage is hopefully temporary but there are plenty of folk out there that can not detect odors to one degree or another who's issue is permanent.

  As an aside I've since researched flammable gas detectors of the consumer sort and have concluded they are not
worth pursuing due to false alarm issues. Oh well.

    Thanks for snark, Clyde.

Tomhudson spewed forth :"You already have a fine detector for that - it's called your NOSE.

Also works wonders for all other sorts of poisonous gases. "

  Well that is great ASSUMING the sense of smell is working for said nose holder.
I"ve used mine in the past to detect natural gas perfume and then my fingers to
dial up the local natural gas suppliers.

  Two weeks ago, thanks to a conjunction of events involving anti-biotics and a case of hay fever (allergy for you
furnish polishers) I totally lost my sense of smell and could not taste food at all.
  I tested myself on all sorts of things I could smell in the past:

The chlorine in the water from my faucet. Nada.
The perfume from the natural gas at the stove. Nada.
The wonderful aroma from canned mackeral. Nada.
That is the short list.

  About the only thing I could sense was heat from pepper or a slight sensation from acids like vinegar.

  So, your assumption is way off base. Luckily for me the effects are temporary and I blame the anti-biotic
for most of my issues.
  There are plenty out there walking around who are permanently or partially affected by the loss of smell and taste sensations.

  Since my last episode I"m now in the market for a AFFORDABLE and effective natural gas detector alarm.

  It would be a wonderful thing if these devices were available for all for household use.

  Remove your rose colored glasses and smell the roses.

Great. I had a MRI this morning. Cost 650 American
play dollars. I have a back problem we are looking into...

  So I get home pop a couple tabs of hay fever med with
pseudofedrin included. I had to sign for that ..
  THen I popped open a fresh bottle of brandy and started sipping
that. Caught a nice buzz about the time I stumbled across Slashdot
and saw this article.

  It might explain the sudden urge I have to engage in slutty behavior.
  MRI + psycho active drugs. Fuck ya, I'm going on a killing spree.
    After I slut it up though.
    Or, I may forgo the killing spree and just go on a forum troll run.
      Fuck ya.
    I got my excuse.
