That’s sounds wonderful, let’s go with that option

Idiocracy draws closer every day

Elmo’s little satellite Internet project will never hold a candle to the international fiber backbone networks, especially tier 1 networks.

For starters, it doesn’t smell very good

Probably the exception to the rule. I did as well, and constantly find myself at a loss for how it simply doesn’t occur to most people to stop and think about something for a split second as opposed to just impulsively doing whatever.

What’s ridiculous is they made remote start only available from the app instead of a keyfob

Got PakOS, but since I’m not Pakistani I’m not sure how useful it would be
