But instead he intentionally took actions to destroy evidence, so none of that matters anymore

Actually he did NOT wipe the phone.

The officer that put a code in wiped the phone.

The officer was in no way obligated to put any code into the phone from any source....

At this point, I don't see how they can prove there was anything on the phone to begin with.....how can they prove he destroyed anything?

Renting house now...no way to charge an EV at home.

Unless I ran an extension cord out in the open to the car...I"m lucky to have off street parking (a rarity in this area)...but it isn't covered.

And any generator I get, is gasoline powered....mostly for the reasons I described, much easier to drive gas cans into town as needed....and generator has to be portable.

They're going to try to make potato RAM.

The administration doesn't decide the merits of the case, a judge does that. And while there's a better than there should be chance that the judge was appointed by this administration, it's still a coin flip.

You would need to wrong her again to make it right.

2. Every phone mounting solution is janky shit and looks like janky shit. If I was still 16 and it was a beater from Craigslist, sure - but neither are the case.

I use the Quadlock system in my car same as on my motorcycle....with magnetic charging.

Works great, secure quick mounting and detaching the phone when leaving either vehicle.

On the bike it's on the handlebars obviously, but for there car I got a windshield mount that holds it and it works great!!!!

Me? I like my big iPhone, but I only replace them ever 6 years or so....so, with the cost spread out over that long, it isn't really $$.

My 2017 car doesn't have CarPlay...but no big deal, I just use Bluetooth to stream Spotify to the cars OEM head unit....plays great.

If I need to use maps, My phone is right there in easy vision and can still be playing tunes while giving me directions.

...the newer ones that also tend to have better functioning voice driven commands.

I do NOT want to talk to my fucking car.

Hell I can't stand phone assistance that tries to make me talk to the computer.

The only time I want to be talking to my car is when I'm cursing it fucking up, or the damned traffic situation at the time if it isn't moving at speed....

Given some of the places I drive, a pure EV is not an option for me ...

Amish communities?

Southeast in the US.....

Hell last time I used the app to look for public charging stations in New Orleans.....there were precious few.

Most of the ones on the app were private ones....

I"d really not want to be stuck with an EV just before or after a Hurricane when power can be out for a month or more easily.....

You can drive gas in....but it's not so easy to drive batteries in to re-fuel your car, even if you had a widespread public EV charging infrastructure down here.

I am thankful I have a car that is till majority populated with physical switches, buttons and dials I can operate 98% from muscle memory without having to take my eyes off the road....of if I do it is usually a second or less.

I prefer 2 seater sports cars, that's all I've had my life to date.....I like analog gauges, manual transmission and all.

Frankly if they could come out with a simple car like in my youth....a '78 280Z type car...simple transmissions, I was more than able to deal with crank windows....that thing ran forever, simple and fun to drive while I owned it.

No worrying about telemetry, no computer needs....I mean I'll be happy with it to have Bluetooth so I can stream Spotify to it, but other than that, just keep analog controls, and as little computer as possible.

Cars like that, can last multiple decades with a little care.....and I pretty much only want my distractions to driving to be when the stereo starts playing "Highway to Hell" or the like....and I start head banging while driving down the highway...a little faster.

It's going to be mostly AI taking those kill shots moving forward anyway, experienced soldiers aren't going to make much difference at that point.

No, but our aerospace industry learned a lot of useful things about how to operate in space. We can't be risk free if we want to make progress. In order to learn you have to fail sometimes; If we, the taxpayers, insisted on a refund that would likely put this company out of business and a lot of the learning would be lost.

So..what exactly are we learning for $30M?

How to fuck up a launch/deployment of a low orbing space craft?

Haven't we been in space long enough to learn those lessons?

Yes I'm a bit sarcastic....but seriously, what learning are we getting from our $30M.

If this company sucks....should they NOT go out of business and open bids up to more qualified companies for next shots?

From the State House to the US House, Byron has a proven record of standing up for our values. From defending Second Amendment rights, to protecting life, and to keeping radical woke ideology out of schools, Byron will always fight the Left's agenda.

What's inflammatory about that statement?

My question is....

Do we, the US taxpayers get a $30M refund from this company that could not complete their end of the contract?

When you have to cite a decade old model, you're not proving your point, you're proving mine

Sorry...I've never considered it to be "old" as a car....
