This is true. More than 98 percent of the wear and tear on bridges and roads is from giant trailers and large trucks used for freight, not from cars or SUVs or trucks of lower GVW.

The large rigs are moving to electric and biodiesel (source: PACCAR, which manufactures them, and is here).

A friend of mine who just moved to Boston was commenting on that today. She was shocked how packed MBTA is now, having lived in Seattle for years.

No, seriously, I don't know what it's like in the empty states but in the growing GDP powerhouses that are the tech cities, people are just not using cars at all.

They might rent a car once in a while, but most of them use transit, bike, walk, take Bolt, take the High Speed train (if it exists), and maybe fly to a place that's far away.

People are already adapting. You're confused because the deadenders aren't adapting.

those can be forged. Even with IPv6. Just use an IoT bridge device.

Corporations aren't People in Canada.

I'm not even dead yet, and you'll make my works live into the 22nd Century if you permit this insanity!

In South and North Korea, almost everyone has the same last name.

Man, how many million accounts can you create using a telephone database ....

They'll have an active moon base by 2019 and it won't matter what the US, a third world country, says.

Heck, the US can't even build high speed rail, they're that backwards, and their idea of fast Internet is 1/20th what real countries have.

I've switched from watching a lot of TV live to watching it On Demand, other than sports like soccer, curling, hockey, and the odd SuperBowl football game.

I prefer to watch it live, but sometimes I have to study for tests, or do homework, and it's too distracting watching US commercials. Sometimes I switch it to CBC so the commercials don't distract me by yelling and being so very long.

Now if only there was Saturday cartoons on the "major" channels like there used to be, I might watch live TV more.

That plus the commercials irritate me, making me not buy their stuff, with their continual "Dad is Stupid" memes, or "only guys watch sports and women never buy trucks" idiocy that pisses me off so I turn it off.

If by solution you mean major hacker targets.

Actual solution: stop making the car OS connected to the Net, and keep those systems totally separate.

Of course I am. Ignore the trial going on in the Air India case that I may or may not have done certain CT ops in BC. And my dad had nothing to do with anything that became the NSA.

I believe you, because you're "well informed". Like most people who think we haven't been doing this stuff for many decades.

thanks, forgot the word, still depressed from the Seahawks final call.

This is a way of insulating the rest of the Kirabuta (or whatever they call the "holding company" I owned ADR shares in) from the parts that hackers attack.

Expect them to spin off the movie division the same way, changing it's name too, so that North Korea attacks only the film part that underpays women, not the rest of the holding company which underpays women.

(personal opinion only, but based on many years watching shareholder meetings online as an owner)

For every percent of taxes not repatriated, we send one drone after their top execs and top shareholders, starting at the top and working down.

I give it about one week before they pay in full.
