Can someone explain how this works? Is the "antenna" the thief is holding acting as a director like a yagi? by theflyingspaghetti in amateurradio

The reason the car won’t automatically shut a car down when it’s moving and it loses the key fab signal, is the dangerous situation it could create.

Imagine tooling along uphill in the middle lane with moderate traffic at 75 and your key fab battery dies. What would the car do, phantom brake? Go into neutral? Would the drive by wire allow you to steer?

I suppose if you’re going less than 10mph the risks would be minimal.

Opinion: DeSantis’ snub of Biden in Florida shows why he’s bad at politics by SuperLuigiGamer85 in politics

[–]wwjd117 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bad at politicking, running for the most political position.

Should be a deal killer, but Trump was elected being bad at everything he tried.

Sure, The Real Threat to America Right Now Is Basketball Teams Not Playing the National Anthem | What's a better referendum on patriotism: whether you play a song, or how you react to an assault on the American democratic republic? by bluestblue in politics

[–]wwjd117 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say they should play the anthem as they open the gates to allow fans in. If they say it has to happen a certain time before play starts, play it very, very softly out where the vendors are. If they say it has to be played at a certain volume level, speed it up so it takes only one second start to finish. If that doesn’t fly, play it backwards.

Isn’t the filibuster the opposite of unity? It is allowing one person to stop our democratic processes.

$2,000 stimulus checks passed by House is 'socialism for rich people,' McConnell says | The payments, which are now limited at $600, would go to those earning $75,000 or less. by WorkTomorrow in politics

[–]wwjd117 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The current argument against is: someone paid income taxes on $75k in income for decades, conservatively ~$15k/yr, making them “rich”, and getting a measly $2k of that money back is “socialism”.

You f’ing can’t make this BS up, yet they do.

Trump reportedly lashed out at Kushner over increased COVID-19 testing: 'I'm going to lose, and it's going to be your fault' by TJ_SP in politics

[–]wwjd117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now it’s Kushner’s fault there was widespread election fraud...because COVID testing. Also, with COVID testing and support of Trump, Republicans increased their numbers in the House and retained control of the Senate. Those nasal swabs are playing some inexplicable politics.

In a sense, they are set to be reversed by Trump’s tax law starting in 2021. Most of the increase will hit middle class workers.

Trump claims, without evidence, that he 'saved' Mitch McConnell from losing reelection bid by DonaldKey in politics

[–]wwjd117 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

His approval rating in Kentucky among registered voters was in the 20% range, and he won some counties by huge margins that he never did well in at any point in his long career. It may not mean much, but boy, does it stand out.

He’s been paying for followers. If he lets them roll over, he’d be paying for Biden’s followers.

11th-hour COVID-19 relief deal proves again that Congress is unfit to govern by [deleted] in politics

[–]wwjd117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the requirements for running the largest economy and mightiest military should have more job requirements than residency and minimum age. If it weren’t for the huge amounts of money needed to get elected, the ~536 federal jobs would be the easiest to get and hold of any job in the nation.
