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.

It's what the people want. There's been several times where high speed rail in Florida was put on a public ballot, and overwhelmingly got voted for. And then the government came back and said, "wha...we didn't think you'd want this? We don't have the money." The last I was involved in explored high speed from Miami through Orlando and the I-4 corridor to Tampa. Huge potential. "We're a poor state, can't do it." FU FL

And it will be long term. It's far easier to destroy than to build, or repair.

Absolutely. My post was just about how kids begin with a DEI mindset and that gets removed from them. What you're talking about is reinforcing the normal, especially for those kids in bad environments. The issue then becomes the schools not having the backing to fight the eventual angry parents and their lawyers because their child is being shown that their parents are wrong. Schools used to be able to push back, but they bend over at anything now for fear of lawsuits and/or funding cut and jobs lost.

Education is one of the most critical careers we have, and yet it's underpaid and attacked constantly for doing their job.

It's worse than that. Kids aren't born into this world racist, sexist, and hating, they get taught that either from exposure to it or directly. Of course they see other kids are different to them, but they're fine with that until adults teach them otherwise.
