If you are eligible to vote, and don't, that is the same as a vote for the winner - whoever that is.

Absolutely. I have a 2016 Volt and I love it. I've gone 4200 miles between fill-ups; I charge at home and only fill up when I go on a long trip or the car decides the gas is too old. I get all the benefits of an EV, all the benefits of a hybrid, and all the benefits of a gas-car. Plug-in hybrids are a better way forward than full EV's.

First, the beginning of your post sounds like the opening line to Jimmy Buffett's "The Devil I Know": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9WBXNW8Kj4

Second, my favorite experience with the B-1 was at the Edwards AFB air show. They were at max power, full afterburner, but near stall - the nose was pointed way up and they were just crawling across the sky. The ground shook; the cars were parked on the flightline (pre-9/11), and every car alarm went off at the same time. It was awesome.

I mean, it also opened during an ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike that severely hampered promotion of the movie. So there is that.

I took the family to see it and we all loved it. I thought it was great personally.

I actually have some USB-A to USB-C cables from DeWalt with reversible USB-A connectors. Certainly no reason other companies couldn't have built them that way.

This is probably closer to the truth, as I first heard it in Firefly in 2002 before I started hearing it everywhere.

It's a direct quote from him.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
