Apple: Cars that few can afford

Android Auto: Everyone else.

Oh bullshit. Why would it cost something to fix that should have been done right to begin with.

They're only interested in Southern or Southernized states, which is not representative of the US. That is, they're only interested in places with a well-defended "know thy place" mentality where labor is rendered servile.

Any deviance from said philosophy is severely punished, whether it be by individuals or corporations. In the case of individuals, it is measured in legally-friendly terminations, designed to break support. In the case of corporations, especially the precedent-setting Volkswagen, interest groups will threaten to take out tax incentives or otherwise hobble the company.

You just made 37 Juggalos' heads asplode.
Good work!

I'm well aware of the difference between handgun and long gun terminal ballistics.

I evidently mis-read your comment about 9mm and .38 being the same size, which is what I was addressing. .38 is slightly larger, but the larger powder charge behind the 9mm makes it a more effective round. That being said, more effective round is easily eclipsed by shot placement.

And again, a round from a long gun is head and shoulders above any handgun round.

All good points.

Though the .38 is actually .356" where a 9mm is .355". It is a minor detail and one thousandth of an inch is irrelevant. Though folks will load .356" for lead in 9mm.

That Doctor Who reboot isn't scientific fiction. It's pure fantasy and Americanized Michael Bay actionexplosions(tm) . That "Doctor" deals with every problem by waving his magic wand like Harry Potter and yelling "RUN!".

Don't forget that all of the old batteries that are returned to Tesla will probably go into large warehouses in rural areas where they can take those batteries that are only 70% of their effectiveness and use them for another 20 years as grid storage. I honestly think this is Elon's long term goal. Using them in transportation pays for the initial cost of the batteries - long term grid storage is what will make the money. Once the first few large scale grid storage "warehouses" come on line the financiers will join in to make purchasing your electric vehicle batteries a lease with the goal of making money over the long term, making it even cheaper for the EV owner to purchase them.

All signs point to the next breakthrough as being some form of magnesium taking the place of Lithium.

"fecal transplant" is a concept I could have quite happily gone to my grave without learning. Thank you Dr. Gregory House.

"That has lead to all kinds of problems."

Like how quickly disease spreads.. oh wait, that's in a city.... How about the increased crime rate!! Nope, city life again.

What exactly are you fucking talking about?

who the fuck says yolo any more?

There is no way a printed foundation will outperform a concrete solution.

The design spec specifically stated "cities on flame with rock and roll" not "birdies aflame from old Sol".

I think you've put your finger on an underserved market - clandestine growbots that can be sent out to tend your crop in national forests while maintaining plausible denialblitiy.
Anti-aircraft-drone drones. Drive-by killbots for defending your territory. And pusherbots. And if you expand into related industries, pimpbots.

Like Syndicate LARP. With robots.
You know, for the kids.
