Now FF thinks it has both version 10 and version 11.
Someone messed up bad. Real bad.

my cousin and a couple of friends have Volts. They get about 1000 eMPG.
The only reason it's 1000 is it won't record over that, and the car insists on burning the gas in the tank if you don't use any for a year.
I had a Dodge Colt for 10 years and a Saturn SC2 for 19 years. The cost to keep them on the road was pretty darned low. Just got rid of the latter because the engine was shot. It had been to Burning Man or Santa Barbara about ten times, from Seattle, and lots of highway miles in the mountains and snow.
I had a Dodge Colt. Maybe a Chevy Capacitor?
So that all the cool chicks will turn their heads as it goes by and say "Watt?"
If that were true I'd be a gay gerbil with diabetes, a heart condition, and wanting to date 20 yo girls.
None are true.

The 1770's...
I can't speak to that from any personal knowledge, even if my dad was in a precursor to the NSA since before I was born.
But the British Empire did spy on Americans then, one of the reasons why we have three specific Rights that are in the Constitution not permitting such actions against US citizens in the US.
Well, we saw what happened in Canada when they had a new law about Copyright and "rights holders" tried to pretend they could get $500,000 for a music violation when the law said $5000 max - the Feds there cracked down on the litigants.
But, the concept of a 30 day deadline is to force people to disclose it in the US. Admirable goal. Might be needed as a blanket requirement, because there are always excuses for not reporting.
No, it was very specifically overseas targets, and the NSA put a lot of effort into hand filtering to ensure that no information on a "US Person" (citizen, permanent resident or corporation) was included in the information passed to the FBI. But, that part doesn't grab the headlines.
This is not a factual statement.
We have been spying on American citizens in America for a lot longer than that, and without warrants.
A lot longer.
Look, I hate to break your "Oh It Just Happened In 2000 and later" bubble, but we've been spying on US citizens in the continental US (and all others) since the 70s.
Without warrants.
That you think it started on 9-11 is a pleasant fiction.
Is it Unconstitutional? Of course.
Seriously.
If you can't get your own house in order, why do we expect other people to do the same.
Merde fils de chiens
If God had not given us sticky tape, it would have been necessary to invent it.
