So now the Chinese/Russians/Iranians/NKoreans/Danish/Venezuelans/Canadians/PuertoRicans can effectively shut down US airspace for a week+ by purchasing and releasing a few dozen mylar balloons from the dollar store?

A few articles like this may help make Ring a little less popular.

"And it costs you exactly $0 extra."

Are Ring systems free?

It doesn't seem like I'd care either way then.

I need to know....
-if those heaters add substantial weight which could cut fuel efficiency
-has there ever been a case of those heaters causing electrical issues (working or disabled)
-how does their existence affect resale value
-can I or a passenger inadvertently enable the heating function and cause the manufacturer to try to collect money from me
-will a seat replacement cost more even if the heaters have never been used
-how does their existence affect my insurance rates

Some things are made proprietary just because its easier. Remember when everything was proprietary? It wasn't because all manufacturers were colluding to mka that happen. Sometimes its easier/cheaper to do it your own way.

Just because something is purposely or inadvertently shared with you, it doesn't mean its ok to share that with others.

What if Elon wasn't lying when he said we'd be on Mars within 10 years in 2011? What if he ran a secret mission for Trump and US astronuts landed on Mars in 2018 and have been there ever since? If so, is the "Elon" here actually an Optimus robot wearing an Elon mask?

If they eliminated 48,000 jobs last year and plan another 30k this year, that totals ~78,000 people. That's the population of Flagstaff AZ. They must have been amazingly inefficient to be able to shed so many bodies and still continue to operate. That said, they had ~500k employees a few years ago and this will end up being around a 10% reduction in force.

Its not hard to believe that the party who wants to ban more books than anyone is seeing a decrease in highly educated individuals working for the government said party controls.

FSD is hard, yet drones want to do FSD in 3D. They will constantly run into trees, power lines, etc. Also, they will always be targets for kids or people believing they are spying on them. Finally, there is a REAL issue with porch pirates and drones can't usually get anywhere near a porch. Who wants their stuff placed in the middle of their yard? Also, this can never work with people who live densely like apartments.

The real drone delivery solution will be vans who text you that they are coming. Once you confirm they roll up to your home and let you know they are there. They send you a code. You go to the van and type in the code and a door opens revealing your item while taking a pic to validate the recipient. In the meantime its already texting the next couple deliveries ahead. If you aren't home you can tell it you'd prefer delivery at 2AM or whenever is convenient. That's noted and it will return then. This method eliminates most failed deliveries and theft due to unattended packages or lying customers who state they never received the package.

When a drone crashes, the driver doesn't get harmed so they care less. When a delivery truck crashes into your house and burns it down, they have a good chance of dying and therefore are more careful. There is no arguing around those points. That's not always a negative, just ask Ukraine. Its a lot easier to get kamikaze drone pilots than one's who are actually in the aircraft.

Come February when tens of millions of people get credit card statements still showing 29.95% interest, those 1-800 #s will be swamped with calls about how its illegal to charge more due to Trump. Then, many will stop paying until its "corrected" causing many banks to make a decision to charge fines to Trump's supporters and enrage them and him even more, or to submit and lose control of their business.

Also, where is my "dividend" check for DOGE and the tariffs?

Billions of $$ isn't a lot when you're worth $3.5T.

You think MSFT is still popular because it has the best CAD software?
