Reply to comment by Lynxesandlarynxes in Why is death by respiratory failure in cases when the problem is only muscular (and not a problem with the lungs themselves) so prevalent? why is it so hard to assist respiration long term? Why are ventilators so unsophisticated and brutal on the lungs? by Eschatologists
What about those old-fashioned iron lung machines from decades ago, didn't people live with those for years?

With all the screaming kids, drunk relatives and at least one person trying to hide a persistent cough, I wish I could spend Thanksgiving alone!

Reply to comment by Nanakatl in Hyundai, Kia Say They’ll Fix Millions of Easily Stolen Cars - Frustrated law enforcement and states attorneys general have asked the automakers to fix the cars that can be stolen with little more than a USB charger. by speckz
Not a mechanic, but it could be that when the ignition is activated there are signals the engine computer (ECU) could use to decide whether or not it will allow the engine to start/run. Maybe those signals or measurements look different when a key is inserted and turned vs. someone smashing the ignition cover and hotwiring.
VW was able to tell when their cars were being emissions tested vs. driving normally and cheat the tests, so there are tricks that can be pulled.
Or I could be completely wrong.
