This is both retarded and elitist. You see, your plan doesn't account for the hundreds of thousands of folks living on the margins. They have crappy cars, perhaps even ones that get poor fuel economy, but that is what they can afford; what they need to put food on the table.
So, your solution is to take even more from them so you can have your orgiastic electric car revolution... no doubt fueled by QE[4,N], and more 'stimulus' money.
Hope your grandkids don't mind paying off our debt.

Re:But
Actually, you can buy fully automatic rifles and machines guns. They aren't illegal to transfer, but they do require a bit of legwork.
Basically, you have to pay a Class III FFL to transfer the gun to you, and you have to obtain a $200 'Tax Stamp' for that device.
The other restriction is that the weapon must have been manufactured prior to May 19, 1986 to be legally transferred to an individual.
All that being said, be prepared to bring a huge wad of cash. A transferable M-16 goes for $8000-$10,000, and I have seen M60s hit $100,000.

by h4rr4r (612664) How about sending real whiskey instead? Bourbon always tastes so sweet, like candy booze or something.
If the bourbon you're drinking tastes sweet, buy better bourbon. Try Black Maple Hill, Baker's 7, Booker's, or Basil Hayden.

I've done this on occasion and it seems to work quite nicely as I find I'm rarely braking. The cars behind me enjoy a nice smooth flow and since there is usually a space in front of me others can easily merge.
The only problem with this method is that it just doesn't work on multi-lane roads. There are always asshats that jump into the gap and braking...

The choice faced by our generation is not whether or not life after climate change is possible, but what kind of life it will be.

There's a set of rules for the great unwashed, and another for the 1%.
The marvellous book Freakonomics describes how rich people steal, lie and cheat more often, because their sense of entitlement gets there in the first place.
But I'm not sure I'm allowed to post this. It's election year, therefore we're not allowed to say anything that might offend conservatives, Republicans or rich people.
I swear, this 1% shit is getting old. A story gets posted to
Why can't it just be that this guy is an idiot with mental problems? Or just an idiot with kleptomania?

No, it's not irrelevant. The TAWS switch in the off state means that someone turned it off between the last pre-flight and the time of the photo. In a post-accident investigation, the questions "when was it turned off, and why" are quite relevant. Was someone (e.g., the pilot) in the habit of turning it off during flight? Post flight? Does it really get turned back on during pre-flight? All very relevant questions after someone flies the very same airplane into a mountain.
Where the switches are when the plane is powered off is not particularly relevant. On pre-flight, all switches would be set appropriately via checklist. That same checklist is also used during different flight phases to ensure that changes to equipment are properly carried out. In every case that I am familiar with, the checklist is a challenge/response between the Captain and co-pilot.
If the switch was off in-flight, the post crash investigation will be able to determine this, either because the black box will record it, or by examining the switch itself.

This is getting to the point of ridiculousness due to the another article bringing up issues with the body scanners. The public really needs to send letters and sign petitions in mass to get rid of this expensive cancer causing paper weights.
I'd go so far as to say shitcan the entirety of the TSA. Apart from violating the 4th amendment, they are useless security theatre with no redeeming qualities.

The OP's question was about nerve reattachment, which is the same whether it's your own or someone else's.
If it were that simple (relatively speaking), you would think that limb replacements would be relatively common. That they are not informs me there are challenges above and beyond mere nerve and tendon re-attachment.

And they've been reattaching severed limbs since the '70s. My friend's dad had his arm reattached after a boating accident circa '76. He was one of the first.
Re-attaching someone's own tissue, I think, doesn't have anywhere near the challenges of a limb transplant. I have a BK leg amputation, and have been wearing a prosthetic sine 1995. I asked the ortho surgeon at the time whether or not a transplant was viable, and back then the answer was 'no'.
Having read this article, I have started to reach out once again to see what the possibilities are.
