TOS always, the others it depends.

My thought is that these people think that their smarter than everyone else therefore they are justified doing anything they do. On the other hand, anyone with a billion dollars got it by making a whole lot of other people poorer. And they ate neither actually geniuses nor benevolent in any other way.

The Phillip Morris CEO makes money by hooking people onto something that isn't good for them. Tech CEOs are very seldom any different. Anyone who says otherwise usually has a financial interest in making you believe them.

In the song the Sk8r boy is the hero who triumphs in the end so i think it makes sense.

Yeah i think you are right. There hasn't been a "peoples car" EV like the original beetle or even the Kia Soul.

If they could get a decent compact ev for around 25k they could sell as many as they can make i think.

I test drove one when I ended up getting my kia soul instead. It was super nice and really futuristic and cool. It was just way too expensive for me at the time. And probably still is honestly.

If they could do a proper EV Soul they'd make a customer of me every 10 or so years for the rest of my life....maybe more often if it keeps getting stolen based on their track record.

Pretty much every OSHA rule came from some kind of death or dismemberment of they guy before you. As a wise foreman once said, "Better a pain in the ass than your ass in pain”

KISS launcher is exactly what I was looking for in a launcher. 5 always used apps at the bottom calendar and weather widgets on the home screen, search for everything else. It seems like it used to have a lot of problems with custom icons but lately it's been pretty much perfect.

This guy isn't kidding about the garage door springs. I had some of the old style ones in my old garage that broke and launched a piece of metal across the garage right past my head and made a giant dent in a 2x4. Those things are vicious.

From a Star Trek perspective, when they have to eject the (warp) core they are also in for a pretty bad time.
