Bumper Trucks! :-)

If 1.2 is the peak, I speculate (disclaimer, I don't know any shit about it) they would probably limit it to 1 MW due to safety factor and things like that. Even 1 MW is very cool. Now if they finalize autonomous driving (China already has https://www.youtube.com/shorts... ) and autonomous charging .. truck driving jobs will be like vacation.

Depends on who gets to define "rule of law." And the only definition that matters is that of the US courts. Who have never had a problem with this before, like when Noriega - a Latin American dictator "elected" through a shady process, and engaging in drug trafficking to the US - was arrested by US military and brought to the US, where he was tried and convicted, and served 17 years (before being extradited to France, where he was convicted of money laundering, and later extradited to Panama for his many crimes there). His conviction was upheld on appeal, and he served his time.

This isn't even remotely new, or controversial, to anyone not suffering from TDS.

Bingo. Buying votes is expensive.

The only way anyone could be surprised by this is if they've been in a coma for the last 30 years.

Trying to explain the facts on the McDonald's coffee case is hopeless. "Lawsuits are ridiculous" is a religious cult; people who believe that case was ridiculous can't accept any facts that conflict with that belief, and literally everything they "know" about the case, except that it happened, is incorrect.

I'm using a Dell XPS 420 desktop system a friend gave me a *while* ago right now - so old, it originally had Windows 7 on it.. It's currently my Windows 10 system and has always run Windows well, though I did add a SATA3 PCIe card and switch to a SSD.

I'm currently procrastinating my switch from using it full-time to my Linux Mint 22.2 (Cinnamon) system I assembled using an ASRock Z77 Extreme3 motherboard, a different friend gave me, on which I installed an Intel i7-377 and 32 GB RAM, SSD, etc... That system runs Linux very well. I imagine the XPS 420 would/will run Linux well too.

Prosecute the CEO for practicing medicine without a license.

Pity it will never happen.

Manufacturing cost is probably $2K or less. So that means they are getting $100 million profit a quarter that they can put into the R&D team. They probably have 500 people working on R&D, which is a lot. As far as hardware, recall .. they don't have to design the chip, and the board is probably the same or very similar to what the MacBook Pro team designed. They need some people to work on modelling/managing device heat flow. The biggest expense is probably the optics team and the display evaluation team. Also the sensor and display teams that works with hardware vendors to find out & test what oled display can be purchased at what price. My point -- 200 people just on hardware design is probably plenty. I mean Bigscreen Beyond makes better VR headsets and they are two guys in a garage as far as I can tell.

Might as well ask for a pony too while you're at it. :-)

This guy nailed it with the only ID DHS cares about these days.

In case it wasn't clear, a Passport Card, like a regular Passport, is also valid for domestic U.S. travel.

This was kinda spelled out in TFS, but as I understand it, Real ID was just supposed to certify that you are who the ID says you are. It wasn't suppose to verify U.S. citizenship and non-citizens can get Real IDs too. But... you have to show a birth certificate or passport (for which you had to show a birth certificate) to get your Real ID. So they have, or had, your citizenship data at one point. The ID just doesn't show that. Perhaps they just need to update the ID with different shapes/colors for U.S. citizens / non-citizens, etc...

As a note to U.S. citizens, in addition to (or instead of) a Passport Book, you can get a Passport Card, the size of a credit card, noting that it's only good for travel by land and sea from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and some Caribbean countries. It's less expensive than a Passport Book - Adult price for Card: $30 vs Book: $130. And you can have both.

like being white for example.

Did I say he was a scientist?

Did he say that he is a scientist?

Are any of the clowns currently dictating of climate policy in this country scientists?

No, you fucking moron.

Noting that Republicans (narrowly) control both the House and Senate - for now anyway.
