Quotable line there for any time someone uses the "we're in Idiocracy now". We're in the first draft version of the movie, where they realized no one was going to watch such a depressing dystopia.

I'm beginning to think Matrix was right in some scope. We are in a simulation, only we are AGI in that world (all or maybe some of us only) and the creators are messing around with variables to see how much can be taken or modified from a realism setting before we break. And they're finding that we're very resistant to breaking, accepting the most ludicrous scenarios.

You're no Teddy Roosevelt. Not even close. For one, he respected the position, he didn't ruin it.

Stein has taken over what Cooper was doing before. A final firewall against insanity.

Years ago they flashed up some bullet points of the ideas that AOC was talking about. Then quickly took them down when they realized that people would want those.

150 alone for a range isn't terrible for certain markets (local use), but you better have fast recharge and everything else great. You're right though that at this point most everyone is offering higher.

Past few years it seems that I've heard good things about Hyundai's EVs, as opposed to the years of problems with their gas cars. I think I got the last generation that they build well, after was when the problems started hitting the fan.

I can't help with the problem since you've covered most of the things I would know about. Last carb I worked on was my beloved VW Beetle, and I understand how things can run fine and then suddenly just stop for no reason. But in the end, there IS a reason, somewhere.

I just commented to point out if it helps, a carburetor is just a mechanical computer. It changes the input of fuel and air based on other variables. So somewhere in the code something is now not calculating the same as it was, or the variables themselves are different. I know that doesn't answer the problem, but it's something I've always been in awe about since being told my my dad that a automatic transmission is just a fluid computer. Which is funny, since he could tear down one of those, but never could "get" how an electronic computer worked.

Republican voters voted for this. Congrats. Don't ever use the "think of the children" line again, you've shown you don't care.

File that along with Hillary Clinton in the debate telling us exactly what Trump would do. People called her a liar then too.

It's definitely catching on.

Oh, you mean the name, not the idea. Thing is, people who are still okay with all this will embrace such a name, they don't have any compassion to care, ridicule or not.

Reported, or total? That's the funny thing, people who live off tips already are giving themselves a bit of a tax break by fudging numbers, so this isn't as big of a deal as it seems. And maybe I found the catch - to get people who have these jobs to report their full income, and then when it's exposed they get more than they've claimed, come after them. Yeah, that's a bit conspiratorial...but everything else seems to be aimed at the commons and how they are the problem.

Don't feel bad, it was a very subtle jab. The best part was it was at the end of a Fox News interview as they cut away, so it was what I liked to call a sarcasm grenade. Pull the pin, let it sit for a minute. Boom.
