So are they responsible for the breach just before Christmas 2013 that exposed millions of credit card details?

Target should sue them, and there could be a class action lawsuit from the affected customers.
And the 1700 workers that were fired in the Twin Cities the other day should get some of the damages too.

The death penalty should only be used when there is absolutely no doubt of guilt.
There are cases that qualify, where the murderer is caught in the act, like some of these mass shootings.

And as for method, well a high velocity large calibre bullet through the head would seem to be pretty reliable and humane.
We aren't going to run out of .50 cal bullets and the manufacturers are not going to say "you can't kill someone with our product"

That's OK for people who only use the internet in the daytime...

A car with nobody in pulls up to a gas station...

I think it was called Blue Thunder, starred Roy Scheider sometime in the 80's

With climate change, there is more energy in the atmosphere - higher wind speeds.

We won't be able to harness all of this increase of course, generally wind turbines can't handle tornadoes for example.

"Or just go for nickel tetracarbonyl"

Isn't that what the Dorsai people of Foralie district used to disable Dow Decastries troops?

"and the tail stand as tall as four giraffes."

Is giraffes the new standard unit of height? I though they used elephants in asia.

Anyway four giraffes aren't any higher than one giraffe - its not like they can stand on each others head.

"in both November and Golf registered aircraft]"

Is a Golf registered aircraft what Harrison Ford flies?

If you can afford a Tesla you can probably afford to keep it in a warm garage on cold winter nights.

And in other news, gasoline engines don't like well below zero temps either.

"Tires actually get more efficient as they get hot. You don't want to be cooling your tires. Heat raises the internal pressure and it makes the rubber more flexible, both of which reduce rolling losses. "

If tires get too hot then they wear out quicker, and you will lose traction, and have to box and change them.

Maybe it made sense last century, but not anymore.
With modern efficient lighting (CFL and LED) there is no significant 'savings' of electricity.
