Electric Cars Require Fewer Jobs to Build

---------------------

** Larkin is a congentital liar.

** Nice = only the he thinks are the same as him. ** So he only does that here ?

On a public forum with everyone watching ?

Oh, I forget Larkin consider the NG to be a joke and treat all the folk here as fools. I know so os has has posted that view several times.

** How sweet- and totally contradicts what he just claimed.

** Must be saving one for a rainy day ... r

** I could post some hair raising stories is about them, the Scientologist was not the worst. He at least he gave grudging respect for my obvious abilities.

BTW:

Has anyone got a clue what it is like to be employed in a workplace where you are the only non-Scientologist among 5 or 6 people ?

Or one where the boss has got his whole family and siblings working for him plus two close friends - and you are the only outsider ?

Of course, it took a few weeks for me to realise that THAT was the deal.

Why are you always shrieking and cursing and insulting everyone?

That sounds a lot worse than any of my claimed pathologies.

You sure don't sound very happy.

---------------------

** John, I am not insulting you - I am outing you.

For your constant, despicable postings here. You really did not expect to have it all your own way for ever - did you ?

Ain't 15 or more years enough ?

The police here make little effort to enforce the minutiae of vehicle equipment laws, if you go "by the book" in most USA jurisdictions almost no aftermarket lighting or non-DOT-approved equipment is allowed to be on cars, at all. It happens all the time though and they don't make any particular effort to try and enforce it on-sight most of the time. Hoodlum's cars have a certain "look" to them and you can usually find six things you could pull them over for immediately for on any particular hoodlum's car.

They let them just keep them that way most of the time, makes a great reason to pull them over when they suspect hoodlum in question is doing something more serious like DUI or carrying drugs or otherwise up to no good.

Police in the US are not under any _requirement_ to enforce any laws at all or pull over every single speeder they see speeding, or to actively protect any individual citizen from harm. it's almost entirely at their discretion. this has been affirmed by the Supreme Court many times.

So the police are fine with motorists openly advertising "I'm a sketchy person" if it doesn't really harm anyone else at the time, and will often just let them do so _until_ the violation becomes otherwise useful. Neer-do-wells love to advertise...

the red-light tickets here are almost surely almost entirely automated from camera to the citations being printed up and mailed.

A police officer probably just flips through the plate photos in the image folder every so often to make sure all the digits have come out clearly and that a reasonable name and address has been matched up with the registration. The mailed citations are stamped "This citation has been reviewed by a police officer" - so it has.

how does habeas corpus apply if the citizen isn't detained in the first place?

Really? I don't have many secrets.

I try to be cheerful and helpful and talk about electronics. That's the topic, not oh-tut-tut personality stuff. That's what Facebook is for.

Why not? It doesn't cost anybody anything.

You didn't answer:

Why are you always insulting and shrieking and cursing?

Are you having fun?

But I don't know why this is ringing:

About 700 MHz. I can add a lowpass filter, but it wrecks the rise and fall time. IT MAKES ME SO MAD.

No, traffic cameras are widely used, just not all that pervasively... i.e. not at every intersection. Usually they are used at trouble spots.

The problem I have is that they are often operated by a company on a profit sharing basis with the local jurisdiction. So the company has little ince ntive to be accurate, rather they have every incentive to issue summons. T here is no police officer reviewing anything. More importantly, there is n o accuser to question in court. In fact, in many jurisdictions they don't even give you a trial, it's a hearing with a review board. In other words, it's guilty until proven innocent.

The last time I got paid was in May 2003, at Haffmans BV in Venlo.

That's less than two decades ago. I do persist in applying for jobs, and ge t interviewed from time to time - less than once a year - but it's unlikely I'll ever find anything. I found myself retired when I was 60, and I'm now 76 - I can live with that, but it is a bit irritating.

I do stuff for the NSW branch of the IEEE, which looks like work to all the people who take advantage of it, but I don't get paid for it.

John Larkin does like to be unpleasant. He's less explicit it about it than Phil Allison, but more vicious.

WTF are you talking about??? The people who would run from a cop would not even receive a mailed traffic violation notice since they are likely drivi ng a stolen car or have some sort of felony warrant against them so are not living at the address listed on their license or they would have been arre sted by now.

What world are you living in?

He is definitely worse than you. That doesn't make you any better in any way. I guess a short person would try to stand next to shorter people when a picture is being taken.

I'm actually impressed that you are reasoning without screaming and using profanities. Are you on meds or something?

But he finds most of the population less than nice - they don't flatter him as enthusiastically as he feels they should, and he really resents that.

For years he was the most prolific poster here - and may still be. That doesn't suggest laziness. He looks more like a hyper-energetic egomaniac.

He less interested when his self-image isn't at issue.

And then find lots of people to admire each and every one of them - even though most of them re-invent the lumpy roller decades after everybody else did it.

He can talk fluently about himself for hours, and doesn't appreciate that there are other components in normal social skills.

If you can put up with the prick and have worked out how to pull his levers, why bother moving?

UK bosses are selected almost exclusively from members of the upper-middle class. That doesn't stop them from being good, but there are not enough good ones to fill all the slots, and the rest do include some total disasters.

You are bizarre! You say you're not into all the "oh-tut-tut personality stuff", then you accuse Phil of insulting, shrieking and cursing? If you aren't into the drama of the group, why do you keep asking about this?

I keep asking you about this because I find you a truly unusual personality... in the clinical sense. Clearly you have some sort of denial going on. You do things you don't even realize you are doing. Yes, clinical is the right word.

ro-manages, insults, stalks and harasses anyone who he sees as different to himself.

John Larkin experiences not being admired as "shrieking and cursing and ins ulting everybody". He makes the same sort of claims about my output.

Egomaniacs thank that whatever they do is perfectly fine. It's part of the condition.

Some people enjoy being irritated. John Larkin enjoys being admired. My exp erience is that whenever anybody admires my work, they are softening me up to work on something tedious. John Larkin's work may be more admirable than mine, but what he posts here doesn't support that hypothesis.

You don't get a trial because civil infractions, taken individually, aren't crimes

In other words, it's guilty until proven innocent.

Welcome to tort law HTH

You have a "review board" in red light camera traffic court here, such as it is, they roll the footage for everyone in the court. Judge lets everyone watch it and when a car blasts thru the intersection without trying to stop at all, then looks quizzically at the audience and sardonically says "Well, ladies and gentlemen, did that look like a stop, to you?"

Light laughter from the audience. Judge looks back at defendant. Case closed. please pay by cash or charge within 30 days.

Sorry, don't understand. Traffic tickets get a trial when issued by a cop. How is this different?

rephrase, it's not a special traffic court. On certain days there tend to be more traffic offenses there because that's when they schedule 'em, but there are always a smattering of holdovers from the drunk tank, shoplifters, and random hoodlums they picked up over the weekend waiting their turn and available to laugh at your camera footage, too. No special treatment
