Some people will steal anything they think they can sell for a couple bucks -- particularly addicts. Some people just suck and will think the owner deserves to have it stolen for not securing it.

You're banking on not a single one of those people seeing it and taking it. It's not hard to sell it for cheap to someone who'll list it on ebay.

In their defense the cabin and engine air filters do need to be changed frequently.

That being said, they're incredibly cheap at any parts store and stupidly easy to replace. Better yet: buy washable ones.

Just disconnect the antenna and/or cover the module with something that will block any wireless signals. It's easier upfront and simple to undo when you want to sell the vehicle.

It was my go-to solution whenever I bought a vehicle with OnStar.

Just equip the airliners with modified AGM-88 HARM missiles to deal with the jammers.

That's one way to do it.

Or avionics companies could sell modern equipment that uses multiple constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), is capable of acquiring more satellites at a time than a 20 year old system, and has basic jamming protection like ignoring spurious signals. You know: like consumer devices have been doing for years.

Then the commercial operators could install them in their aircraft.

So you do need to drain off the condensate. You can take a big bucket and collect the water to bail later

Do y'all not have condensate pumps?

I have no issue with sex scenes in media. I also think the vast majority of sex scenes are unnecessary and badly done.

... Are you being ironic? I legitimately can't tell anymore on this website.

There was a brief moment in the 2000s where major manufacturers were selling computers with Linux preinstalled. A lot of netbooks and thin clients had Ubuntu as an option.

Picking up trash with a net is a a little easier than collecting 1 trillion tonnes of CO~2~ from 5.1 quadrillion tonnes of atmosphere, then somehow storing it directly or converting it back into into stable solid or liquid for storage.

It's not impossible, but in terms of difficulty and expense the two are orders of magnitudes apart from each other. Like "inventing the wheel" vs "landing on the moon."

And the "bare stainless steel body panels" isn't a new thing on a production car.

Unsurprisingly they had a ton of issues with it back then too.
