QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 09:42 AM) This is all coming much faster than I think anyone anticipated...it will be interesting to see how this does on the market. The safety is the obvious selling point, along with the convenience, but some people, like myself, truly enjoy driving. I suspect there would be times when I would appreciate not having to actually drive, but for the most part, I find driving to be quite an enjoyable experience and a break from the other stressful parts of my day. This is something they made a point about in some NPR show I caught on the road the other week. In the traditional automotive world, features like this are tested and tested again before they're rolled out. In the tech world, new software and features are often released into the public and then tweaked and updated as time goes on, bugs are discovered, etc. That mindset seems to be bleeding over into the more tech-minded automotive companies with Tesla being the obvious poster boy for it. Case in point. Something like this is realistically at least a couple of decades away most likely, but Tesla is going to aggressively push this new tech out.

I have no idea what point wikileaks thinks it's making here

Mail-in ballot now and forever! (I've been banished to Cali for the last 2+ months with no end in sight so I'm really glad that's an easy option in Illinois.)

First day of early voting in NC. I think some other states have seen similar big turnouts on the first day of early voting this year.

News from the other AZ Senator Flake says it might be Garland time I don't think McCain deserves much credit because he's still going along with the BS idea that simply refusing to even consider a President's nominee is okay.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) I hope for her sake Kellyanne is getting paid a ton of money and really doesn't want to ever manage a campaign again. Would any future candidate have the nerve to hire Donald Trump's campaign manager as their own? Kellyanne Conway was the campaign manager for Todd "legitimate rape" Akin so she's used to dealing with dumpster fire candidates.

I just got one in September. Haven't used it too much yet, but so far I like it.

That guy is apparently a bats*** crazy guy who's always rattling sabers and Putin keeps him around to appease the right-wing nationalists in his own country.

FWIW, people around here denied that the Saudis donated money to the Clinton Campaign, which they didn't and which would be 100% illegal. Trump's accusation is that they donated money to the Clinton Foundation (don't know but let's assume that's true), and that Clinton should return that money because Saudi Arabia is awful and does terrible things (100% true). I suppose there could be an interesting discussion there surrounding whether international charities should accept donations from "bad" countries like Saudi Arabia or its leaders and, if not, what constitutes a "bad" country, but I don't see how that would be considered the best moment of the debate.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Oct 20, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) Wallace was outstanding. The previous moderators should have been taking notes. Hillary revealing our time to react concerning nukes isn't getting serious play. Sad. It wasn't new information and was publicly available/disseminated.

Love the doors and all of the woodwork. Not something you see even in many higher-end homes these days.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Oct 19, 2016 -> 09:49 PM) I think the missing lede in this debate was Hillary's answer on abortion. Her defense of abortion, particularly late term abortion was one of the most honest, bold defenses of Roe v Wade I've ever seen in a campaign. That really was a great moment imo of course. You haven't seen a full throated defense like that on that big of a stage before.

Mike pence doubled down on the "we'll see" about accepting the election results.

Once again zero environment or global warming questions

Chris Wallace has a Sunday show on regular fox every week, that's more respected than having an opinion show on cable

Ugh nobody really cares about the debt, that's a weak question to end on.

Many Syrian refuges are definitely ISIS-aligned, and we've let in tens of thousands. He gets really amped up to deliver the craziest lines.

Trump has zero idea what someone is even asking him when they ask him about Aleppo falling. None at all.

The moderator explained to him at length why you might announce a large-scale coordinated assault on a city at the last debate.

Trump refusing to accept the legitimacy of the election. Pretty good response by Clinton painting him as a giant, whiny baby who shouldn't be taking seriously whether or not he concedes.

Chris Wallace taking no s*** from anyone is my favorite part.

Would like them to get back to actual policy discussions though
