Why are you so fixated on 2020?

When the orange goon and his cohorts stop whining about a "stolen" election in 2020, then everyone else will. Until then, they're the ones who keep bringing it up.

Democrats have been screeching about stolen elections since 2000. ?

No, they haven't. No Democrat has been "screeching" about "stolen" elections. None. No one is out there every day claiming that in any shape or form. In fact, the ONLY time the issue was raised of irregularities, Republicans immediately went to court to prevent any vote recount by stating there were no evidence of fraud. And yet, four years later, that is all Republicans talk about. All the "fraud" they claim existed yet have shown absolutely zero evidence for it. In fact, when asked point blank by judges if their multitude of lawsuits were about voter fraud, every single time the answer was no.

When you're done with your lying, let us know.

The Neanderthal misanthropes want more legal immigration,

Exactly, just like the con artist was hiring all those legal immigrants to work on his failing properties. The same guy who doesn't hire Americans but always finds a way to hire an immigrant.

No, but instead go with the stats, that well over 95% of the kids that are "confused", grow out of it..?

Well sure. And when 95% of all statistics are made up, who can argue with it?

This is exactly what Tesla did for years. In addition to getting billions of dollars in socialist payments from the taxpayer, the company used regulatory credits to keep itself going. It didn't make money on its poorly designed vehicles.

Ford does not have the luxury of using those same credits so its numbers are more reflective of the cost to start up an EV car company.

On the other hand, hopefully this sort of technology will reduce the number of exploited people being forced to work in slavery conducting scams in call centers in India and other places.

They'll just be moved to forced prostitution or manually breaking ships. Then again, have you seen all those videos of "manufacturers" in India where everything is done in a room with no safety precautions whatsoever?

Not all abuse is physical, and women have basically the entire government (men with guns) at their disposal to meet out abuse if a relationship turns sour, if they so choose.

Yes, "abuse" when the woman doesn't want to be with the guy any more and the guy doesn't take no for an answer. Sort of like this guy. Or this gold medal catch of a "man".

Because, as usual, the "man" always blames the woman for his faults and issues. Nothing is ever on him.

Sopwith Camels could also be used a bombers. They were used with great success to bomb the German airship base at Tønder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... That was the first air raid ever launched from ships. They were launched from the deck of a battleship.

Later Sopwith models even carried torpedos.

Let me know when you can push this crap to a flip phone. Then I'll be impressed.

Til then, ad and malware free it is.

I don't think you can hold up the DotCom Boom as an example of right management. Sure, it was fun building things from nothing with little legacy and no thought of profitability. But it was unsustainable and at least as dysfunctional as the current tech world. I was there too. If you want to stay employable you have to adapt. Either adapt to a more mature and restrictive climate or adapt your skills to be in the centre of the next raging boom. If you do the latter, you will have to do it again as these raging booms never last. Reality always asserts itself when the easy problems have been solved and solving what remains just isn't as exciting or profitable.

The assholes need to be plugged up too.

Some may enjoy it, even look forward to it.

That said, this is why we can't have nice things. A human always finds a way to screw things up for the rest of us.

That there was a trove of e-mails that are now publicly available from executives at Google as a result of discovery? I mean, that's some pretty interesting stuff, if it does give a backstory for how Google search is pretty much useless now.

If only I could exclude search results from the last 5 years, it would be so much more useful...

Funny thing, Montana is a big grain-producing state, and we have possibly the most unpredictable, and definitely the most absurdly-variable climate in North America.

Oh, and we also grow potatoes, but only in very limited areas (potatoes need more predictable conditions), whereas grain is grown here pretty much anywhere the ground is near enough to level.

This is why I don't use Windows at home.

After W7 I went to Linux and haven't looked back. It's bad enough I have to put up with Microsoft's excuses and incompetence at work, I definitely don't want to deal with that at home.

It's like the bridge to nowhere in the sense that it actually makes sense as a project but is easy for people who don't understand the situation to ridicule. Yes, Rancho Cucamonga is a drive from downtown LA. It would be great if they could extend the tracks to Union Station, and they probably can, since there's already a rail connection between the two on LA's commuter rail system, Metrolink. Rancho Cucamonga is also right next to the most common driving route between LA and Las Vegas, so people who might otherwise drive the whole way can instead think about taking the train for a big part of the distance. CityNerd did an interesting video on how HSR would compete with driving and flying between LA and Las Vegas and concluded it will beat the pants off driving for most people in LA, despite the less-than-ideal station location.

Of course not. What we do need to admit, though is that this is an experiment that is nowhere near as beneficial as TFA seems to imply, unless this is scaled up and powered by some sort of carbon-free energy. Otherwise it's a gigantic hamster wheel.
