The Commerce clause gives the federal government nearly limitless authority over the States despite what the rest of the Constitution says.

Not usually. You have to add so many plasticizers back in that it would be more economical to burn it in a modern waste-to-energy incinerator, if onlynthose weren't basically illegal in California

Commercial speech is not free speech ... Fight me

There won't be any money to hire you after the bubble pops. We'll potentially enter a recession that lasts for a few quarters or perhaps a few years.

AI fraudsters that tricked millions of middle class retirement account managers to invest in the wrong* AI companies are going to come out ahead of course.

* I say wrong companies, because I don't believe anyone can pick the winners right now.

Simple LED display, radio, and the alarm was just a square wave BEEP BEEP BEEP at 90 dB like the house was on fire. I got it for $5 at a yard sale in the 1990's and that was my go-to for waking up my teenage self.

No one doing the hiring is competent, even if they accidentally hire competent people.

It can make completing school or holding most jobs a difficult and frustrating thing. So it isn't simply because someone decided the label is negative. But it is that modern society does not adapt around ADHD, so people with it have to adapt around society. Often with no diagnoses and little help or guidance.

Prop a few CDs on your bookshelf in the background while you stream.

In the US, U-turns are illegal in some states, and necessary in others. But we don't make a person who has a license in a different state take any tests to drive in a new state. It only comes up if someone becomes a resident, then they apply for id and license in their new state and take a written driving test. It's all multiple choice and if you fail it you can immediately take it again.

In the US a driver's license has very little to do with being able to drive a car. It has to do with being able to obey traffic signs. Operating the machine is something you learn on your own time. With one key exception, a motorcycle license is completely different than more rigorous than a US driver's license. US motorcycle licenses are perhaps closer to the deeper requirements that Europeans expect from a driving test. Because our car driving licenses are a joke, anyone can get one if they can pass the vision test.

All cars were train cars, and the highways were 6 track corridors.

I love hiking. I love the feeling of using all four limbs to control my locomotion. The main disadvantage is that it takes a long time and impractical to carry my groceries for several miles without melting the icecream.

I think the numbers are reasonable for people over 40 or 50. But for under 30, the number of people who know how to drive a stick must be really low. Given how rare stickshifts have been on the new car lots in the past 20 years, at least when I tried to buy a car the last few times my options were limited when it came to manual transmission. Dealers rarely had them or had the previous year model because it didn't sell.

Controlled burns when it isn't crispy or windy is how it is done already in the US and Canada. A toy robot is not going to get far in the back country terrain, and solar power is not going to drive a hypothetical mulcher.

A robot cannot legally consent.
