What is THAAD?

So it's a. Double Win!!

Africa is going green....AND comes with built in population control.

I just let them break or run out of power and never replace them.....

Problem solved...they all do eventually die.

I'll give you a good example.

I was talking with friends...and all of us have decent jobs, decent earnings with disposable income.

We would pay top dollar if Jeep, made....well, a Jeep again.

I'm talking bare bones...100% mechanical....something like a CJ7 type thing...easy to work on, no computers, just something simple and mechanical that you could mod as you wished....and could drive through the woods, and do 4 wheeling stuff.

I don't need a fucking backup camera or ABS brakes, etc....

I'd pay EXTRA to have a simpler vehicle like we used to in the 70's.

Are there some modern things better that could go in there..sure...technology has improved but I'd draw the line at least and keeping things non-computer controlled.

Make a simple jeep and I swear there would be a market for it yelling the trope: PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY

Did anyone else cringe at least a bit when reading this quote in the article:

The car is now a computing surface.

Am I the ONLY one that does NOT want more computing and more connectivity and more monitoring in my fscking car?!?!

Thankfully my slightly older car is low mileage and in great shape, so hoping I don't have to buy another any time soon....but geez, next one I do will take tons of research and then figuring out how to rip out most of the "phone home" and other tech I don't want annoying me, tracking me or limiting me on how/where I want to drive...

Btw, being Nazi does not only mean sending Jews to the camp.

The reality is that a Nazi person mentality is characterized by extreme nationalism, belief in racial superiority, and a totalitarian approach to governance, often involving anti-Semitism and the rejection of liberal democracy.

Is that hitting too close to home?

Ouch...yes, that does certainly sound a lot like some of the far far left progressive democrats these days in the US....

Hell I remember going to the bus stop some mornings when it was dark or just barely sunrise....in the southern US Central time.

We had no problem with it at all....

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Does anybody really care?

If so, I can't imagine why

We've all got time enough to cry.

The time is ... 25 or 6 to 4.

Should I try to do some more....?

I think the majority in the US don't really care....and would say "Just pick ONE".

If they did lean I'd guess it was slightly for DST.

I personally don't care, just pick one and quit changing twice a fscking years....

Yes, and with DST in the dead of winter, dawn in Boston won't happen until 8 AM. Full on daylight won't be until about 9 AM.

All it will take is one cycle of DST during winter, and everyone will clamor for either going back to the semi-annual shifting, or Standard Time. That's what happened last time this misguided experiment was actually tried.

And most of the rest of the country says...

"Fuck Boston"...

;)

Apple used to make very pretty 1U servers.

Wonder if these new servers are lickable?

I've only ever used Siri in the car, telling it to 'shuffle playlist x".

Many things are.

"That poor coyote."

Yeah, just about everyone.

Just like The Conquerer (1956)
