Oblig Candide quote:

CANDIDE:
There is a reason
For everything under the sun!

MAXIMILLIAN:
Objection!
What about snakes?

PANGLOSS:
Snakes!
'Twas snake that tempted mother Eve
Because of snake we now believe
That though depraved
We can be saved
>From hellfire and damnation
(Because of snake's temptation!)

If snake had not seduced our lot
And primed us for salvation
Jehova could not pardon all
The sins that we call cardinal
Involving bed and bottle!

ALL
Now onto Aristotle!

my Brother in SoCal had one which was great for commute, but there was no place nearby to fillup and although he did have a home unit that took regular natural gas from the pipes and compressed it, the compressor eventually broke and by then he had put >100k miles on the car, so he got rid of the car and junked the compressor.

on your own Reaper or Predator Drone

I'm sure we can get the NRA and the Military/Industrial complex behind this!

the next logical step would then be drone-killer drones, killer drone killer drones, etc

considering that a medallion in San Francisco can cost upwards of $200k

They were probably hoping that they could diminish netflix (esp comcast) since they would all prefer pay per (every) view or non ala-carte bundles rather than a 'watch whatever you want for a low flat fee'

Netflix is one of the things that is helping keep the Media cartels at bay at this point and I am happy to have been a subscriber for the past 10 years or so and hope that Comcast/ATT get their comeuppance some day (but doubt it due to regulatory capture)

What the American public doesn't know is what makes them the American public -Tommy Boy

No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the record for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. H.L Mencken

improperly attributed to him as:

No one ever went broke by underestimating the intelligence of the American Public

-I'm just sayin'

reminds me of an old cartoon/story or something:

ends up with the TA bringing in a tape recorder to play the professor's prerecorded lecture to a classroom full of tape recorders

course nowadays it would just get posted to youtube or something...

correction -Gillig is actually in Hayward across 92 from where I'm at now -25800 Clawiter Rd, Hayward, CA 94545

but yeah The East Bay between Fremont and Hayward is definitely growing as a tech/mfg area

The Desi population here is so high that when Netflix shows me what other people in the area are watching it is Bollywood flicks

-I'm just sayin'

yep -students, bums (homeless) and hippies/new age types -sort of like Berkeley by the Sea -should be an Open Source Paradise

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_My_Tears,_The_Policeman_Said

also features a sort of 1% -99% societal split

The novel is set in a dystopian future United States following a Second Civil War which led to the collapse of the nation's democratic institutions. The National Guard ("nats") and US police force ("pols") reestablished social order through instituting a dictatorship, with a "Director" at the apex, and police marshals and generals as operational commanders in the field. Resistance to the regime is largely confined to university campuses, where radicalized former university students eke out a desperate existence in subterranean kibbutzim. Recreational drug use is widespread, and the age of consent has been lowered to twelve. Most commuting is undertaken by personal aircraft, allowing great distances to be covered in little time.

John Brunner's -'The sheep look up' is another excellent dystopian (though not all that surveillance-oriented) novel

-I'm just sayin'

mod this guy up! -Interesting how it is the social hierarchy imposed by the language itself which may have resulted in slow response or communication of the problem...

Comic Book Guy: Well first of all I've a plan to eliminate obesity in women.
Lyndsey Nagle: Oh please, for a nickel-a-person tax increase we could build a theatre for shadow puppets.

Lyndsey Nagle: Why not both, then everybody's happy.
Comic Book Guy: Oh yeah, everyone's real happy then.
Lyndsey Nagle: Do I detect a note of sarcasm?
Professor Frink: (With sarcasm detector) Are you kidding? This baby is off he charts mm-hai.
Comic Book Guy: A sarcasm detector, that's a real useful invention.
