My car was $1,500 and my insurance is ~$35. I'm lucky enough to be able to bother mechanics to teach me repairs though.

In causal speech confidence in an answer is communicated; though maybe just as a pause, or even through tone.

Not the sort of data we'll have crop up in CommonCrawl.

It could be that they didn't observe it long enough to get enough data to do the checks tho, no?

How much does that metric matter? Especially in the context of hybrids with regenerative braking.

For comparison a Model S weighs over 4,500 lbs.

Mobile Garage Band is actually pretty good from what I can tell, for an example.

Is it not "be privileged" or to "have privileges"? It's not as though it were quantifiable—"privilege checks" (the decade old boogeymeme) notwithstanding.

My '08 MacBook has calculations via Spotlight.

Not to mention the screenshot tool (including Command-Shift-4, Spacebar) that works immediately upon keypress unlike the new Windows built-in screenshotter. Of which it doesn't hide its own UI properly and may leave a small 1-pixel bar at the top of your screenshot! It's insane how poorly crafted Windows is, and yet it flourishes.
