The difference is that it's not mass transit. It arguably should have been regulated more though, because and only because it cost The People money to chase after the dead.

Your solutions don't solve anything. e.g. "The department can't evade the bits they're actually able to do" means only that the argument will be over what they are able to do.

It still can be, if you've got a couple hundred bucks.

There's a lot of people here who support nuclear because glowing stuff making power is cool, and for no other reason. They then constructed a shambolic cluster of borrowed bullshit to support their belief, which it doesn't; they're holding it up all on their own, and none of that crap is meaningful at all when we factually don't need nuclear. Maybe we did once, but we sure don't now.

Exactamente. I had friends that got stop-lossed for Iraq. Even if I were morally bankrupt enough to sign up for a four year stint potentially murdering people so that oil companies or Halliburton can make more profit, I wouldn't be dumb enough to believe they wouldn't keep me for longer.

Well, friend, it involves a student loan that I was promised I had a ~3% rate locked in on which is currently only not accruing over 6% because of SAVE which the rapeublicans want to destroy.

If only my Pine64 hadn't killed itself in less than a year, I might trust them to do hardware. I wouldn't buy a raspiphone either.

Crush-roasted is exactly how I like my oligarchs.

That's not a thing that happened. What happened there is that six people decided to die in a can together. Anyone who knew anything about this project knew it was shit. Tons of us Slashdotters, who had no skin in the game whatsoever as we were neither investors nor even potential passengers knew enough about it to know that it was a folly. We knew this solely from freely publicly available information. Everyone who got on that sub either chose to risk their lives on what was obviously a shit idea, or chose to not find out whether they were risking their lives on a shit idea when they could have found out from the phone they carry everywhere with them, in a matter of minutes.

He was 19. Don't infantilize adults.

No, it is not, and suggesting that is only one thing involving a taste for leather.

Thanks for really ramming your culinary proclivities home.

There's increased risk from this loan you can only discharge through death, or through a program that people are getting cheated out of eligibility for that pays back the lender? Could you draw us a flowchart showing how you came to that conclusion?

Tricking them into thinking they're on top while they're pushing themselves down is the true heart of religion.

It's fairly common for non-locomotive diesels to use both EGR and DEF. The locomotives are irrelevant to the discussion since it's about trucks. Pickups and OTR trucks will both commonly have both.

So far 2/2 of the comments I've come back to this morning have been irrelevant. I wonder if I can get a hat trick...

Why? That event is irrelevant to this specifically because the situation is so different, which their own comment points out. I especially appreciated that from them because it made it clear that they (and you) are not taking that into account.
