I think we are looking at a bad summary as usually the articles dateline is March 31st, but thank you for reminding me to get off of the internet for the next ~48 hours.

You could also write it off as a market for innovative goods developed elsewhere.

It is possible that something similar is happening with Autism, that somehow the recessive version is giving us some noteworthy advantage in the modern age, but the idea that Autism itself is the advantage is a little crazy, even if you accept the premise that they might be more successful in an electronically connected world that world has not existed long enough for that pressure to be exerted. It would have to be providing an advantage for a significantly longer period of time.

Your hypothesis is much more believable but at least at this point, not really provable.

Tthey could be barred from operating in this country. That isn't much but it is something.

Wait, you get specification requirement?

I need a new job.

I never claimed that this was statistical evidence that there was a problem but he is using "statistics" to try to show that there can't be.

If there were as many teslas on the road as prius' and there was only one report of a problem with a tesla that actually WOULD be evidence that the car is fine and the driver is a moron, as the original poster is suggesting. I am pointing out that the samples do not support such a conclusion.

You mean moving them to a position consistent with other cars on the road would somehow make this car less safe than those other cars?

Hill starts? Its not a manual you know.

Before posting crap like this for the love of god at least consider the difference in number between the most popular car on the road and a super expensive specialty vehicle that very few people own. Somehow I am not surprised that with only 25,000 cars on the road there are less reports of problems with the tesla than there are with the 3.2 million prius' sold world wide.

Obviously its just a conspiracy and also there is clearly no way that anyone at tesla could ever make a poor design decision.

City tax (the NYC income tax, or the Philly income tax) is a whole different animal and creates the worst tax headaches when you are a commuter or only work in the city part time.

Yeah because paying out the benefits that these generations worked for... the benefits that they paid for with their taxes during their earning years... yeah, they just aren't carrying their own weight. Lazy fuckers

It depends on the credit union you use. Some are better than others for certain tasks. I have USAA for instance which is awesome when traveling. Use any ATM and they pay back the fees that the ATM charges you (up to a reasonable monthly limit) and because they are set up to support the military world wide they have a lot of awesome services like overnighting you cashiers checks that you order online. I also have another credit union that is local to Philadelphia (I dont live in philly anymore) I have kept the account open but its not really all that useful by comparison. There is also DCU which has a lot of good loan products so its worth at least looking around. That said having a local bank can be pretty useful as well.

They didn't get rich by writing checks.

Well they clearly fucked up when they categorized internet providers which resulted in the ruling. I have yet to see an explination of their categorization that doesn't leave the FCC looking incompetent or corrupt. This court ruling seemed pretty inevitable and its not clear that there was a valid reason for them to not make them common carriers in the first place.

So there is some argument, but if the FCC responds soon enough (by re-categorizing internet providers) I think you have to give them the benefit of the doubt... if they don't well that further makes them look incompetent or corrupt.

And you have to be good enough to answer the tricky word play questions out of order, which can bite you in the ass if you have an opponent who excels at them.
