We've heard the expression supporting what is home grown: "If it ain't Boeing, it ain't going." Ok, well, the following is a Boeing product, the B-757, and, according to the news, "it ain't going." Because if you ain't spending the money to fix its Rolls Royce* engines, then it definitely ain't going. * hmmm, Rolls Royce ... when home grown Pratt & Whitney is "the other" major supplier of engines for this aircraft The irony here is that the plane was formerly owned by a Mexican airline...given all of the flap about Trump and Mexicans.

April 29, 20214 yr This HAS to be a joke. You literally pay for the hardware & software, you OWN it... but it doesn't 'work' unless you pay again.

BMW already tried this with Apple CarPlay, failed, and ended up giving it out for free with the car.... and that arguably might have some merit to it because then you'd be paying for updates etc.... what updates do I need to heated seat software though? It has 4 settings.. high, medium, low, and off. Edit: I Do see merit for charging a subscription for SuperCruise however (and Cadillac does after I think 3 years) because it costs GM an enormous amount of money to keep the LIDAR maps up to date. I could see GM eventually partnering with another company (Honda for Acura is the first to come to mind) to sell the LIDAR data for other autonomous systems.
April 30, 20214 yr Every Mexican and Mexican-American I've told this one to nods, smiles, and/or laughs, so it passes the "ok" test ... Q: Why were there only 500 Mexicans at the Alamo? A: They only took 7 cars.

That is a whole other white trash tragedy right there. There are literally stainless containers for just such a purpose, where you go through 55 gallons of tea an hour lol.

Not to mention that it is NOT a Food Grade Plastic and so who knows what chemicals are being added to that poor tea! Talk about a Health Code VIOLATION! ?
May 26, 20214 yr Conversation between a pharmacist and a female customer: Woman: "I need to buy some arsenic." Pharmacist:" Why do you need arsenic?" Woman: "I need arsenic because I want to kill my husband." Pharmacist: "WHAT?" Woman: "You heard me! I want to kill my husband!" Pharmacist: "Why on earth would you want to do that?" Woman: "Because he's having an affair with YOUR wife!!!" Pharmacist: "Well why didn't you tell me you had a prescription?"
