"They may customize it with their own communications gear, but they didn't pay for the R&D that went into it. "

Companies build the prior research cost into their current pricing. It isn't as though gov. is not paying for it when they buy off the shelf. They just are not paying for it up front, but they will pay.

Regardless, this brings up a dilemma for the alleged administration. They have two competing impulses. They want to decrease the cost of the care and upkeep of systems so they can spend more on systems and repair them quickly, and they want to preserve the kickbacks from industry into their greedy little hands. I'm guessing the latter impluse will win because industry has populated the regime with their cronies, and money is everything to them.

They could make a note of mileage leaving and re-entering the UK.
Penalty for misplacing the documents would be paying for all the miles.
Or keep it in a database for tax purposes.

Lots of "cute" answers I see. More seriously, the FAA is involved because it involved a flying thing. FAA regulations are designed for flying stuff, and wants a high level of safety.

If a self-driving Fedex truck did what you described, the DOT would likely become involved.

This is supposed to be for NON-emergency calls. Not comparable to 911.

Just to repeat your downvoted post, I guess we have a Maggot with mod points:

Sheinbaum earned a bachelor's degree in physics at UNAM in 1989, a master's degree in 1994, and a Ph.D. in energy engineering in 1995.

Contrast that to the USA.

Ask Stephen Miller. There are White Folk as far as his myopic eyes can see in America. The U.S. got rich and powerful because it welcomed (with hiccups) all races, nationalities, and creeds. Leave to the Maggots to turn that strength into something they hate.

Well, I'm about to find out if I need to do my first chargeback, I have a delayed response on a return authorization for where I was sent the wrong item. They advertised a different version. This might be confusing for them since the difference is small - yet critical. But there really should be no confusion because they advertised the other version both in the images and the product name/listing title.

"Why would this require an FAA investigation?" So the alleged administration can shake down Amazon for a "contribution" to fight "terrorist drones". The Fed. Gov. is being turned into a Mafia organization.

In contrast, the U.S. is cutting basic research simply because the alleged administration cannot see a trail of bread crumbs back to its pocket.

It's probably overkill in most people's homes. However, it may be more valuable in a commercial setting, such as a convention center or hospital. Cutting down on the crud even by a small fraction could be worth quite a bit.

They have been having decreases in their ability to grow food, so yes they absolutely want Ukraine. You really think people around here know dick.

I have overly expensive cable internet already, I don't need to also pay for CATV.

I got a Google TV because I knew it would have the best app support. Looks like you didn't.

My desktop TV-used-as-Monitor has stupid LG WebOS, but I also don't need a TV-specific app since my desktop is connected to it and I don't connect the TV to the network, only HDMI.

Most iPhone owners didn't buy them outright.

No. It can't be properly expressive without understanding the story that it's reading. Punctuation is just not enough, it doesn't capture many different shades of meaning. E.g., an ironic statement should be read in a different tone than a factual statement, even with exactly the same punctuation. (That's one example out of MANY. Consider, e.g., the scene in "Alice in Wonderland" where she's talking about jumping off the top of the house.)
