Hey Fred, can you change the engine sound to that of a sports car? Sure Debbie, let me pull up the engine sounds I've got stored on the computer. What a flipping JOKE!

It's just like when things in a grocery store go down in price. Yeah, the price dropped, but the QUANTITY in the box went down. I never buy anything on Prime day...it's for suckers. They jack the price up a week or two before prime day, then discount it to make it look good.

I use to repair tv's back in the mid-late 70's as a teenager through college. You didn't have to worry about someone stealing your "puny" 25" tv back then because those @#)^@$ things were HEAVY! Those huge CRT "picture tubes" weighed a TON! The glow of the old vacuum tubes in the back was kind of cool though. Although, you DID have to wait for the tv to WARM UP before you could use it.

Yeah, that will work out great! Star Trek TOS already did an episode like that over 50 years ago. The M5 computer didn't work out so well.

In small nations, yeah, EV's probably work! Plus in these small countries, they have available mass transit. In America, it take days to drive across the country. Some people live "out in the sticks" on farms or in the country and it takes time to get to a city. The lack of EV charging stations, along with the TIME IT TAKES to recharge is a problem. Batteries in the super cold winter is another thing. Until someone comes up with "The Flux Capacitor" and the "Fusion Reactor" from Back To The Future, hybrids are a better option than a full fledge EV. Personally I drive an ICE vehicle and probably will do so till I die.

I've been using AdGuard on my phone & PC's for years to knock down the garbage. The PC version will obviously still load, but their app isn't on the Google Play Store. You have to download it from Adguard's website and load it. Google wants as many ads on their apps as possible to generate revenue even if people ignore the ads. It's all about generating MORE ads for them. If they were so worried about malware, their "google play protect" would weed them out!

After that guy in NYC gets elected mayor, the NYSE will probably move OUT of NYC...move to Texas?

Just think what would happen with an EMP burst above a major city.

Your car is not a flipping home computer. Cameras, sensors, "infotainment" systems, huge tablet screens. All it does it drives up the price of the vehicle, not to mention the repair costs! Just bumping into another vehicle these days is a multi-thousand dollar repair, given all the sensors & cameras in vehicles today. malfunctioning phone-as-a-key functionality, a useless keyfob, a keycard that rarely worked quickly, constant phone connection issues, infotainment glitches and error messages.

Not all of the problem is environmentalist, but, we can't dig here, we can't drill there so we have to use outside sources for the things we need. Couple that with the greedy CEO/stockholders that want huge returns on their investments plus higher wages, move all of the jobs overseas.

Kids from the 80's to the 2020 era were pretty much all told you "have to have a four year college degree". They and/or their families rack up thousands of dollars in debt, for a degree that won't pay enough for them to move out of their parent's house. Too many liberal art degrees + not enough positions open to fill those degrees = low employment. But, on the other side, I see 2 year tech colleges hiring people by the time they graduate, and I see some manufacturing type places with "now hiring/hiring bonuses" signs.

Closing down multiple coal fired water plants, nuclear plants has A LOT to do with it. Trying to rely on wind/solar WILL NOT WORK.

Can you imagine these vehicles getting safety tested in the United States?

You'd have to be an ldiot to think Samsung never thought of this when they released the "smart" fridge!

Ask anyone who lives where it is COLD in the winter, and they try to start their car what happens. ldiots...
