Nowhere does the requirement say the radio has to come with an Effective antenna. It says AM radio not AM radio antenna.
It just says the vehicle has to come with a radio. They can potentially include a radio in the car that Won't have very good reception, and won't ever give you clean audio due to interference, but it would still meet the definition of an AM radio.
And the owner might just have to bring their own temporary antenna to use it.
Eh, I don't think that's gonna work.
That's not how courts and laws work. This isn't some movie where you have to word things perfectly for a malicious genie. A judge and/or jury would conclude that an "AM radio" necessarily has to be one that actually works in the scenario it is in.
Some judges would even rule that on the basis of the lawmakers' intent; meaning that for democracy to actually be real then the law that gets enforced has to be the one the lawmakers actually thought they were passing, not some creative or new interpretation someone is making now.
Either way, the result would be "nuh uh, it has to be a working AM radio."
Object-oriented programming does my head in
That's the thing; it's perfectly possible to write clear, understandable code in any language, and also headache-causing, horribly obfuscated code in any language.
The odd GOTO has nothing on "modern", "reusable" code when it comes to the level of convoluted-ness possible,

Er, crime's not good, but I'm pretty sure that criminals do spend money.
As opposed to in-person e-commerce? Isn't e-commerce, by definition, virtual?
It's virtual all the way down
My general perception is that shipping is incredibly cheaper and faster than it was 30 years ago. I guess it's mostly due to automation in logistics (tracking and routing), but really it is hugely improved. As a kid I'd mail order things and they'd say "allow 2-4 weeks for shipping."
Heck, I remember "allow 6-8 weeks for shipping."
It's a camera, a tiny keyboard, and some software.
So why is it a separate device rather than a smartphone app?
My phone already has a camera and a touchpad keyboard, and it can run any software. Duplicating all that hardware and charging $199 doesn't make much sense.
I feel that way about most form factors. A "smart watch"? "Smart glasses"? They are all just mini portable computers.
Granted, if we must give them to kids, it would be nice if they made ones that didn't have cameras and microphones
Nepal!

Are those women going to be still poor when they get paid a fair wage for a highly in demand job?
After working part time for minimum wage at a daycare? Yeah, probably.
Does a guy having a job as a mechanic mean I have a "right" to car care? What kind of argument is this? Let's use our brains here.
Er, if you demanded and got taxpayer subsidies for your car repair
Let's use our brains here.
That's what I've been asking you to do
If your brain connect daycare services where people get paid for an in demand job to victorian british servants, well, that's your issue.
lol, they are both people paid to raise your children for you, during the non-leisure portions of your day. I notice the similarities, but I didn't create them.
It's "in demand", certainly
Yes, they do get paid
So anyway, let me get this straight. Child rearing is so soul-killing that women - well, the women who matter - should get tax money to pay other women to do it?
Fortunately, most of the bots are dumb and measures like captchas block them from the pages that need protection, as a first layer of security
Exactly. If bots stop being dumb, we're doomed, lol.
2nd level is honeypot - a hidden field that humans don't even see and leave blank, but that stupid bots just fill in with their link spam or whatever. But smart bots - think googlebot, or even screen readers - do process JS and CSS to figure out what is visible.
When all the bots get smart, we're screwed, lol
