Don't worry, he'll upset Putin soon enough.
Another way to rank them how other states have first/second/third degree felonies.
Kind of like how burglary is a bad, but not as bad as murder or rape.
It's not even a ponzi scheme, it's just a good old fashioned bubble.
It's digital tulips.
They aren't exactly writing checks and sending it Kyiv.
They're sending stuff we already have. Ammo, tanks, etc.
It should be phrased as "Joe asks mom it it's cool to give Volodymir, his friend down the way, his old iPhone, and then go buy a new iPhone 15 Max, which has sick BVR capabilities and stealth, from LockMart."
He has a certain energy. I'd call it smooth energy.
It's fantastic, but smooth energy doesn't work for game shows.
You can hardly blame that just on Gates. Every moron in the government has been pushing standardized tests as some way of grading teachers and schools for decades at this point, and this program coincided with Obama's equally disastrous and very similar federal program. Which was an improvement over Bush's even more disastrous program.
Especially when you realize Gate's program was of limited scope while Dubbya/Obama/Trump's DOE's fuckups covered the entire country for a far longer period of time.
I got one, but got rid of it after the screen cover plastic became rigid and creaky...twice. Worse, Samsung said they'd cover it once under warranty, and that after their ubreak ifix people were telling me it'd cost $200 to fix and I had to explain I had a protection plan to the braindead tech ten times.
Not worth it until they solve durability issues.
Insurance would have to prove the modification caused the accident by disabiling some safety mechanism.
Legally, software mods and hardware mods are no different, and people have been modifying their cars well before you could hack a seat heater on.
Modifying your car isn't a valid reason to yank coverage in most circumstances.
Even making your car faster isn't enough, assuming your mods are street legal.
BMWs have had this, to some extent, for a while. Bimmercode can do things like change sounds and enable software disabled features, like anti dazzle lights. (This is disabled because the NHTSA refuses to adopt ways for them to be easily tested in the US, despite their being approved for decades in Europe and a congressional mandate telling them to allow them on the roads, so every automaker has to disable them.)
No exploits needed.
Yeah. GM's subscription nonsense is for their ice cars too. BMW's aborted seat heater thing was too.
You aren't wrong, but at the same time, I'm not buying a Hyundai/Kia ev anytime soon either. They constantly have electrical problems with fire risks.
And considering that they've buried stuff before (metal shavings in their ICE engines like 4 years ago), I could easily see an EV wiring problem they're sitting on lest they destroy their standing in the EV market. Not that EV fires are actually much worse than gas car fires (a little harder to put out, but far less explodey (gas is also hard to put out, just not as hard.))
Yeah, or the US just invades Yemen with global support, triggering the regional crisis Iran wanted.
None of the regional powers actually care about Palestine outside of using it as a convenient political excuse.
