I think it'll be disease long before it's war or starvation.

How often CO2 is blamed on burning of fossil fuels, I often get gobsmacked by how many people forget plants breathe CO2 and release O2 yet no one ever correlates the increase to deforestation of rain forests. Possibly 1 is not enough to merit the change on it's own, but the two combined could account for the increase of CO2, not enough plants and trees in the rain forests to scrub the atmos of CO2 fast enough.

I recall in the 70's and 80's it was ozone, at some point we shifted and now it's CO2.

Your comment was rational and well thought out but missed the obvious so borders on foolish.

Would have been much easier and less obvious for the pilot to drive 30lbs of C4 into position in a vehicle or a backpack or bag vs the stealthy manner of flying it in with something as unwieldy and less than threatening gyro-copter.

To my knowledge gyros also don't have transponders and I'm not sure if they show up on radar.

I do this as well, I also have been known after turning the head to crane around looking into the side mirror to get the full view from the mirror. My main concern are those idiots who see the empty space I'm about to transition to and they swoop in with no signal.

No need to even project an image on the window, just have a red led light up on the side of the vehicle where there's an object detected in the blind spot.

A decent attorney might argue that the client having disabled the camera and run over the child accidentally is no different from a driver doing the same but in a car not equipped with camera which would not have landed the client in trouble.

Not sure if you'd win but it is a valid point, why prosecute one and not the other.

I could agree with you about setting us up to put us in debt but I'd also like to point out there is no one twisting your arm to purchase a new vehicle you can find decent used older vehicles that will cost 1/4th what a new car will.

I fully agree with you about the manual though, I love driving manual. I think it forces the driver to be more aware while driving and less chance of distraction. It's hard to change radio stations or fiddle with GPS when you have to shift gears.

My insurance company should offer me a discount for driving a manual then as I could suggest it's an "anti-theft" feature.

Same as with emissions, there is always the opt out of using an older model vehicle not bound by the new restrictions.

Where is Moores law?

Where the hell do you plug in a keyboard and mouse? Wheres the display port? Where's the network connector?

I suspect it is number one, I mean they probably get paid for forgetting about it.

Pleased to inform you the movie came out in the mid 70's.

It's called Phase IV

Porpoise and dolphins kill for fun.

No but you do see it in porpoise and dolphins, and sometimes chimpanzees.

What is interesting is thinking that our tool use could have completely sprung from one of our distant ancestors mimicking what they saw a sub-species of our ancestors doing.
