This is one little signs tat the upcoming generation is effed up. Can't even make a sentence properly.

Judeo-Christian Western Europe will be gone too.

Kim afraid that building in “safety” features such as self-braking and so forth just has the effect of enabling even more people to get away with distracted driving.
A few years ago, I saw a study that had found that incorporating more safety gear into sports (e.g. padding and helmets for football) actually caused players to play more aggressively and take more risks. That was because they believed themselves invulnerable with the safety equipment. Same thing with safety features built into cars.
Granted, I do not turn off traction control in my car, which I can do (but why would I not want traction?). But I do not use the cruise control. And I drive a standard, because I want that extra level of control over my car.
I think that building in features to do what human drivers should do, or that allow human drivers to be more lazy and sloppy in their driving habits are not good ideas. They make people stupid, since their brains are not being exercised. Haven’t people been dumbed-down enough already?
Sex WAS better in 1953.... ;-D
I can live with that! I’ll be standing in line to p*ss on her grave! ;)
Looks like I'll have to buy the White Album again.
I live way out in the country. I have to go half a mile from home to get a cell phone signal. Landline is not a dinosaur yet.

...and not much will happen.
I like used book stores and thrift stores and some are more categorized than others but mostly if you want one specific book, good luck..

You know that my point is irrefutable, and are just being obstinate for the sake of being obstinate. I appreciate your stance, and often take it myself. ;-D
You have obviously done that several times, and will have to repeat the process forever. Whatever you uploaded to will also breakdown or become obsolete.
You have observed random and limited reproduction of such material, not blanket availability. The point I am making is that books can be read as long as the paper survives. Electronic media’s lifetime is at the mercy of the marketing people and the transient nature of the media itself. To keep anything a long time one must transfer content from media to media, forever and often.
Well, of course! As individuals age they just remember it as best they can. ;-D

Breakdowns? Dude, you should learn how to backup!
Obsolete? Took about two hours to transfer from my IOMEGA’s backups almost 20 years ago!
