Question is when it became "the standard". We need an internet historian to weigh in.

I think its almost always the editor that's charged with creating titles.

Closer to 15

I have seen so many comments cheering this merger on because they have gamepass... No, we can't all think beyond short term.

Because the cities are named by European immigrants naming places after their home towns. It not very original but I guess its better than naming it after yourself

Agreed. I'm not defending Cruise at all. They should have humans in the car if they are testing. Or at least a drone-style driver sitting in a room watching a camera feed. I wonder if the car thought there was just a speed bump ahead. Some speed bumps are striped similar to crosswalks. I can see situations where the autopilot can't determine if something is a speed bump or genuine obstruction (either false positive or negative).

Thats the whole point of their comment. The car did not recognize anyone was on the crosswalk because it was never trained to look for people laying in the crosswalk.

DeSantis can't run again so it will be a new fascist either way.

Woof.

Its just used that way to make it less wordy. Like when people say "Raising money for cancer" instead of "raising money for cancer research". I always find it mildly humorous but the intent is obvious.

You are so right. Media/government/society has been conflating objectivity with neutrality. Many things are objectively right or wrong.

How is that possible? Tires alone will be that cost. Oil changes over 20 years? Even if you only changed oil annually for 20 years for $20 thats $400.

Not that you should ditch your car. I have a 12 year old with similar performance.

A lot of big oaks and other trees are vulnerable too. In South Florida the trees are periodically culled by hurricanes so the trees still standing have made it through a few storms and the ones that do go down are fewer in number. Up north they had decades upon decades of growth that had never seen a hurricane. A tree growing in a way not conducive to hurricane survival growing for decades then getting knocked down can cause a lot of issues.

Slash pine is as hurricane resistant as anything and the only reason there isn't a lot left is because they were on the few spits of dry land in South Florida. So naturally they were cut down for timber used to build on that dry land.

A Cat 1 will still cause a lot of problems in North Florida. Since they don't get hit as often they aren't used to it, the infrastructure isn't ready for it, the trees aren't ready for it, etc. I remember one fucking up Tallahassee not too many years ago.

I haven't looked into their reasoning at all but I would guess "the original" was incapacitated by his stroke so democrats put a clone in to take his place to keep the well liked politician in power.

The whole thing is floppy now.

Yeah you make good points. I think Watergate is still very different because the initial crime wasn't on behalf of or sanctioned by the government. The wider cover-up was to an extent. I think there is some gray area too. Like you say there is no "state secret". But when is confidential information held by the government vs individuals within the government holding confidential information? An individual within the government can keep a secret from both the broader government and the public.

No ot wasn't. The break in was not in the name of the US Government. It was in the name of a presidential candidate.

Falling apart after a year? Maybe it was a lemon? What is your use case?
