freedrock87··on Automakers invented the crime of jaywalking (2015)
Not sure where the law says "crossing without checking" is illegal. It clearly states that crossing outside certain defined areas areas is illegal. That alone is massive issue since crossing area are far and few in between especially if you are trying to cross midblock in NYC. So much for "making more sense when you read them"

Not sure where the 8 years number is from. It was launched in 2017 and CDW was selling it until 2021. That means some people have it for less than 2 years

freedrock87··on How to register a Kei truck in Pennsylvania
A motor vehicle that is at least 25 years old can be lawfully imported into the U.S. without regard to whether it complies with all applicable FMVSS. Such a vehicle would be entered under Box 1 on the HS-7 Declaration form to be given to Customs at the time of importation. If you wish to see that form, you may download a copy from our website at nhtsa.gov/importing-vehicle. You should note that the 25 year period runs from the date of the vehicle's manufacture. If the date of manufacture is not identified on a label permanently affixed to the vehicle by its original manufacturer, to establish the age of the vehicle, you should have documentation available such as an invoice showing the date the vehicle was first sold or a registration document showing that the vehicle was registered at least 25 years ago. Absent such information, a statement from a recognized vehicle historical society identifying the age of the vehicle could be used.

freedrock87··on US Senate votes unanimously to make daylight savings time permanent
Instead of a waste of energy in the evening?

Your arguments have very subjective points and you could easily claim that due to WFH more people are waking up later.

freedrock87··on Kosher search engine powered by 4 car batteries on a passively cooled server
In strict orthodox Judiasm nope.

The only time you can break the Sabbath is if it is "pikuach nefesh" (life threatening if not done)

freedrock87··on Kosher search engine powered by 4 car batteries on a passively cooled server
According to the bible you or possessions or servants aren't allowed to "work" on the Sabbath (On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates.)

Rabbinic Judaism expanded this to the Jews doing "work" for you. Since this server is hosted in Israel and there are Jews who work for electric company on Sabbath. In addition the he doesn't want the server to work so he has it "work" only on a day when there isn't Sabbath anywhere in world.
