I’m interested in some beach front property I have some powerful magic beans can pay in full.

If this glitch affects only those idiots who were tuned to NPR what’s the problem?

“Hitler was sure to hear about Whoopi’s views on the Holocaust since no matter what channel or streaming service one flips to in Hell, the only program that comes through on every channel is ‘The View’”

Wow, writing specs to define what the code shouldn’t do would be far bigger than defining what the code should do.

[Campion]

Bingo!

[cgbg]

“fixing old cars”

Yup—any day now Homeland Security will publish a bulletin on “how to recognize the right wing extremist in your neighborhood”.

That is definitely going to be on the list.

Owning big dogs will be another one.

KUOW is working with Xperi Holding Corporation, the parent company of HD Radio, to figure out what the station did wrong.

Finger pointing!   They need to find out why HD Radio could be fried by any radio signal that didn't fry any other system.

That would be my version of Hell, having to listen to NPR for all eternity.

Then again, those NPC Mazda Owners tuned to the NPR station to start with.

This story is beyond insane.

Back in the 80’s and 90’s we had those DIN sized radios, super easy to replace. Now we have technological overkill for it’s own sake, and the people who squeeze it out take no responsibility for their sloppy work.

es, and they can't resist making everything interdependent. So your steering wheel and HVAC are also routed through this stuff. It should be more modular.

Progressives who own one of the affected vehicles think they’ve died and gone to heaven.
Real people who own one of the affected vehicles have their Diocesan Exorcist on speed-dial.

What’s a Thom Hartmann?

[Trillian]

Why are all these glitches in favor of leftist communist agendas?
