[QUOTE]On a fateful day in October 2015, Pedro—an IT contractor living in Ireland—was surfing Amazon.de for a specialised textbook he needed for a new extracurricular art class. He found the book, ordered it, but was disappointed when it arrived. The listing had said that the book was the current edition, but Amazon sent Pedro the previous edition.


Pedro got in touch with customer service to see about getting the proper version. A few days later, Amazon told Pedro that it had ultimately failed to find the right version of the textbook and that he should instead return the book for a full refund.


Pedro, who by this point had spent a long time looking for the correct version of the book and then more time waiting while Amazon looked for the book in its warehouse, wasn't happy with the overall shopping experience. He made his displeasure known by providing negative feedback on a customer satisfaction survey, and he figured that was the end of it.

Washington Post Disses Electric Cars As Sales Soar Tenfold In 5 Years
 

[URL="http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2016/01/08/3736911/electric-vehicles-washington-post/"]A pundit lies and blusters.[/URL] What a surprise! (Think Progress changed titles since I posted the one in the subject line.)

[QUOTE]Plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) sales are exploding. Annual global sales are up tenfold in just five years — from a mere [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_use_by_country"]45,000 in 2011[/URL] to a record [URL="http://insideevs.com/monthly-plug-in-sales-scorecard/"]448,000 last year[/URL].

And yet for the Washington Post’s Charles Lane, the latest PEV figures are simply grist for his [URL="http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/11/12/charles_lane_electric_cars_why_so_angry.html"]umpteenth[/URL] highly-confused [URL="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/government-has-spent-a-lot-on-electric-cars-but-was-it-worth-it/2016/01/06/359bd25c-b496-11e5-9388-466021d971de_story.html"]anti-PEV screed[/URL].

Before seeing how Lane pulls this off, let us go back two years, when the the Post published two attacks on electric vehicles by Charles Lane. The first in [URL="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/charles-lane-obamas-electric-car-mistake/2013/02/11/441b39f6-7490-11e2-aa12-e6cf1d31106b_story.html"]February 2013[/URL], titled “Obama’s electric car mistake” began “The Obama administration’s electric-car fantasy finally may have died on the road between Newark, Del., and Milford, Conn.”

I am sure you remember that moment when a dubious New York Times review killed off that obscure electric car company nobody talks about any more. What was it’s name. Oh yes, Tesla.

Paiute tribal chair: 'Don’t tell me any of these ranchers came across the Bering Strait'
 

.[QUOTE][URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/www.dailykos.com/story/2016/01/07/1466961/-Paiute-tribal-chair-Don-t-tell-me-any-of-these-ranchers-came-across-the-Bering-Strait"]The armed occupiers at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge want the federal government to give back their land. This map of Oregon shows who had that land in the first place.[/URL] Note: No map of pre-conquest America is exact because tribal "borders" were fluid.

As the media continue spotlighting the armed extremists occupying the federal headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, their complaints about federal government “over-reach,” and their demands that the feds “give the land back,” members of another group say that if there were to be any giveback, [I]they [/I]ought to be first in line.

They are the Burns Paiute Tribe, descendants of the people the U.S. Army under Gen. George Crook starved and murdered into submission in the 1860s in a successful effort to confine them to a 1.8 million-acre reservation. This was later reduced to the 1,000 or so acres where the 420-member tribe is now headquartered. The Paiute leaders are profoundly irked by the occupiers’ demands.[/QUOTE].

The Arcimoto SRK electric vehicle is the most fun thing we did at CES
 

This little thing is beyond cool!

LAS VEGAS—Electric vehicles were a big thing at CES this year. Even before the show officially kicked off, Faraday Future [URL="http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/01/ars-talks-car-design-with-faraday-future-at-ces/"]introduced the world to its FF Zero 1[/URL] concept car, and Chevrolet let journalists ([URL="http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/01/chevrolets-bolt-is-an-electric-vehicle-for-the-masses-and-weve-driven-it/"]including us)[/URL] get behind the wheel of its new Bolt EV. But the single most fun EV we encountered was also the cheapest and most pared back (by quite some margin)—[SIZE=3][B][URL="http://arstechnica.com/cars/2016/01/the-arcimoto-srk-electric-vehicle-is-the-most-fun-thing-we-did-at-ces/"]the Arcimoto SRK.[/URL][/B][/SIZE]
