I think a plug-in hybrid is the only thing close to an electric that would work for me, short of having multiple cars. I'm considering a Diesel plug-in SUV or wagon for my next car, as the vast majority (all but 2-4 drives a year) would fall into a 40 mile round trip, with all but probably fewer than 20 being round trips of less than 5 miles. On the other hand, I have very little incentive to get anything 'more efficient' as I can't remember exactly the last time I refuelled my gasoline auto. I think maybe 6 weeks ago. The plug in would just mean I don't have to refuel almost ever, which would be sort of nice, and that the fuel tank would always be full, also sort of nice.

There's no need to be racist about it.

Oh, it wasn't a civilian drone - story was wrong.

I don't understand why they had to divert so much for a tiny drone. Seems like a little jog to the left, and another to the right, and an angry finger gesture ...

Buckshot is for bucks. I'd recommend #6 as a first approximation of the optimal solution.

Wish I had mod points

Liability insurance on my motorcycle (1000cc sportbike) is $14 a month, in Los Angeles. Is it really enough to weigh heavily on your decision?

Yeah I built a NAS with 'disks' and all the new machines just get SSD for local stuff. If/when I am faced with having to be in scenarios where I'm disconnected or poorly connected for long periods of time again I'll have to reconsider, unless we're all sporting 4tb SSDs by then.

I think I saw some in a closet somewhere - I wondered what they were for. I assumed they were just ugly coasters.

What's a DVD?

A tiny percentage of murders in America involve guns like this - they are truly not the low hanging fruit on the homicide tree.

I have video footage of a mall in Asia where the entrance metal detector is shrieking every time someone walks through it; no one is stopped or even slowed down for several minutes until a grubby looking character is pulled aside, based on suspicion of being a Muslim or something I suppose.

Maybe a standard implantation of auto complete is needed too.
