It's not [citation needed] anymore it's now [I am too lazy to click on the provided link but I still have opinions nonetheless].

Also having just found out about it myself... oh wow the Toyota hybrid transmission is really really neat. simpler and probably more reliable than he conventional one.

The RAV4 is one of the most popular new vehicles in the US so everyone buying one will be getting a hybrid whether they want it or not (and paying a few extra thousand dollars whether they want it or not).

Why would you want to buy a substantially less efficient vehicle (also with lower power)? Are you enjoying Trump's high fuel prices?

It seems to boil down to "They valued their user's privacy and so refused to use a company that funnels some ungodly portion of the Internet, decrypting and the re-encrypting it, through its servers."

Just because a "solution" to a problem exists doesn't make it appropriate or better than nothing "CommunityMember".

What question do you think was being answered by that wall of text? Because it wasn't a question the GP was asking.

"So Goldfinger, I suppose you expect me to talk"

"Good catch! You're absolutely right. You're right to push back, I am not expecting you to talk. There are several reasons I can't expect you to talk:

1. You're well known as a spy who is uncorruptable and has been threatened by far worse than a laser table.
2. You would likely spend the time trying to escape, rather than answering my question.
3. I would not be able to trust any answer you give anyway, because you would be seconds away from death while it would take much longer for me to determine if your answers are true.

In fact, I expect you to die. You not being alive any more would solve several issues, such as preventing you from interfering with my plans in future, or killing me by shooting out a window in a plane causing me to be sucked out into the air.

Would you like to ask me how to escape from the laser table, or how to find Pussy Galore's phone number?

And there you are wrong and quite obviously so. I will not even argue that point

Can't argue the point so you'll pretend to be taking some sort of high ground.

Your claim is obviously stupid, and since it's obvious I'll say why. Unlike you, who cannot say why which is why you didn't.

People, ordinary people go between multiple roles in their life while remaining the same person. Within a job people get promoted and may have some management duties, which may well involve deciding pay levels to some extent. Sometimes people strike out on their own and do contracting and start a company at which point they have full control over what they offer subcontractors or employees.

And even for those who do not people still get other jobs done via contractors, like plumbers, electricians etc, at which point they decide they pay levels as much as any business owner.

You like many people are absolutely bending over backwards to reinterpret the results to be what you want.

You know I've been on this thing for almost 30 years and never figured out the "upvoting" and other fancy finctions people often brag about...

You must have missed that "firehose" link that's been at the top for 25 years or so. I wouldn't brag quite so hard about missing it, personally.

Kinda like a /. post.

Ordinary people do not decide about the pay of others in actual reality.

Yes they do. Management/employers are not some special class of person.

So your reply has nothing do do with the pot it was replying to then. So why reply then?

Interesting that you immediately jumped to censorship. Why is that?

The muh freeze peach crowd are about the worst defenders of free speech I've ever met.

Speech is powerful and dangerous, which is why it is important and needs to be free. Pretending otherwise is to diminish it and erase the need for it to be protected.
