The *real* problem is with people who aren't skilled enough at operating a motor vehicle

That is where your sentence should have ended. There is a large majority of people who do not know how to drive a motor vehicle. Braking at green lights, not turning right on red, braking going down the most insignificant hill rather than coasting, not accelerating when the light turns green, not yielding when entering a roadway, driving below the speed limit, making a turn from the middle of the lane rather than the edge, etc.

If I had a dime for every person I've been around who has done any one of the above, I'd never have to work again.

With a drone, I could have it fly to wait on somebody's roof for them to come home, use license plate and facial recognition for target confirmation, and then shoot them in the face as they walk to their front door.

You'll be happy to know Ukraine is doing something very similar: drones with guns. They also have machine guns mounted on mobile drones.

Nice to know who is off their meds. When you look at those videos, tell us, how many cars do you see driving on the streets? A dozen?

If NK is so great, why can't tourists go into a store and see what's there? Why does every tour group have minders who check what pictures you've taken? Why must every statue of Kim Jong Un be shown in full and not, say, missing his feet? What water park are you talking about? NK people don't go to water parks unless they're part of the elite.

It's not editorializing if it's true.

Comment North Korea should take note (or not) (Score 1, Interesting) 25

Their recent attempt at launching a destroyer ended in failure when a transport cradle slid off and the ship is now lying on its starboard side and partially submerged.

It's probably a good thing they consider anything from the West as decadent or beneath them or else they might not have this problem.

Condiering Trump doesn't hire Americans at his failing properties, he has no right to tell a company where to build its products.

Of note from the story:

Some former Trump club staffers who spoke to CNN on the condition of anonymity said Trump could attract more Americans to those temporary roles at his properties if his businesses raised the positionsâ(TM) wages or offered other perks.

I bookmarked the page but now it still looks the same when I click it again. What am I doing wrong?

You could always clear your cache, but since that is such a difficult thing to do, it might take some time to do. I've never had an issue with a web page looking the same after I bookmark it and come back later, but that's just me always clearing out crap and forcing the browser to get new info.

I don't like the first example. To me, having two independent sentences is better than using a semicolon. In fact, most of the examples I don't like. It might be a preference issue. I like the two separate sentences as they have more punch (to me).

Of course, I'm the same person who doesn't like how Lee Childs writes using that same style, so go figure.
