There are Costco's in Europe so if they're in Russia then I guess they do live on the same continent as a Costco. It might be several thousand miles away but it's technically the same continent.

There's no way that's not a troll account. Their tagline is SS for god's sake. MAGAs aren't that bright.

Hell even in Amsterdam they have traffic lights. This isn't an issue about the lack of public transportation.

I think the arguement is that the cameras are only there because people are running red lights. Don't you want to catch people who habitually run red lights, and therefore represent a danger to the public? If you're not the sort of person who runs the red lights then the cameras are irrelevant to you.

I'm a little confused, do you want people running red lights in the name of "personal liberty, yeehaw" because that seems like a bad idea.

Although that's not totally inappropriate (although ideally he would be prosecuted too but for so many things not just this) because it's also their responsibility to disobey illegal orders.

What absolute moron would obey that order?

I could see how maybe you could believe there was justification for the initial strike but there can be no justification for killing people who are now defenceless. Although why not just board the vessel and take everyone into custody, why instantly resort to deadly force, did they have information that the people on the boat were heavily armed or otherwise able to threaten a US naval vessel?

I mean it's not like they can make it any worse.

We used to have dell workstations at work and they were terrible. At one point we wanted to remove the heat sink on one of the systems because it was full of dust and was overheating, doing this was made virtually impossible by the placement of the screws. I assume Dell made the computer they had access to transdimensional screwdriver that can phase through matter.

Just wrap your car in tinfoil. Bonus is that it stops the government from reading you mind while inside.

Just got a dishwasher and it doesn't even have an app. How can that be?

Why not do cars need internet access in order to start?

I understand having auxiliary services the network connected but surely the failure mode should just be an error on the screen but otherwise the car should still function. It's not like operating without internet access is dangerous or anything.

Also, why don't we just do that, cut Russias internet access, it seems like it would cause utter chaos.
