That is the problem with a lot of manufactures. They all seem to think that we want various packages of crap that have nothing to do with each other. I have been looking into getting a replacement truck/SUV for my current one, now I don't use it much but when I do use it I do truck things that require 4WD, high clearance, ability to tow or haul. Given what I do I want something with either posi or locking differentials but to get that I need get the package that has the premium audio and leather wrapped steering wheel for some stupid reason. What does the premium audio have to do with the front an rear differentials, I could understand getting thing that were related and one depended on others but this makes no sense.
Besides they pulled off one of the greatest jokes ever for April fools. If you are unfamiliar with the spaghetti tree hoax it is worth seeing and I would say is at the same level as Orson Welles War of the Worlds radio broadcast with how it was done.
No one I supported is currently in office despite my best efforts. Unfortunately I am not the person you would ever want in office as I am a take my ball and go home type of person and will go off on a tirade that would make a sailor blush.
Well I have a few times but then those were on older phones and I stopped having the problem when I got a flip phone. That and both times were while working on vehicles where the phone inadvertently ended up being what I was leaning on.
That is pretty funny. Usually I hear things like they might want to tow or haul something but have never towed or hauled anything ever in their life. While being a suburbanite with a SUV at least when I use mine it is for things like hauling, going places that require high clearance and 4WD, or being driven in snow storms since I don't care if it gets hit since it is a beater. Most of the time it sits along side my house waiting to be used.
While I do agree, there is something to be said with the byzantine rules and case law surrounding even things like e-verify that are meant to prevent hiring of illegal aliens. When it is possible to consider it discriminatory to not hire some because of a failed e-verify query something has gone very wrong with our legal system. Granted these are a very small minority of employers hiring illegal employees and most who hire illegal aliens know full well what they are doing and should be fined into oblivion.
The graph you are referring to is probably one similar to the first one shown in this New Yorker article. A few months back there were a number of articles about this this and this one happened to be the first one I came across. The peak for inflation adjusted minimum wage in the US was in 1968 which was worth about $10.56 in today's dolalrs. Since then it has been in a downward trend with spikes each time it has been increased. Also of note is how much inflation has devalued the dollar in the following 45 years because it appears that $10.56 in today's dollars was worth $1.60 in 1968 or to simplify our money is worth about 1/10 of what it was then.
I would say go even finer than those dove loads go down to a rat/snake shot. Their maximum effective range is about 3-5 meters but even in a 2 3/4 20 gauge shell there would be a lot of projectiles. Another option might just be to use table salt.
(And, I was told while there, just wait until you visit India.)
Sounds reasonable from what I saw while in India. Before I went I thought it might be fun to go for a ride in an autorick but after being there and seeing traffic as well as the trucks that were so overloaded their leaf springs looked like a W I decided against it. Seriously a 2 land paved road has 6 lanes of traffic in it and a red light seem to mean stop only if it has been red for 10 seconds.
There was a case similar to that where I live a few years ago. Two robbers go to rob a liquor store and bring a gun. The gun is set down on the counter and the clerk grabs it and it ends up shooting one of the robbers who died as a result. The remaining robber ends up charged with armed robbery and murder. I have been trying to find the article for a while but none of the local news sites seem to like to keep articles available for more then 6 months to a year now.
I do understand and see that I also don't want to have a monthly bill that I have to pay to some worthless organization that will try to tell me how I should live and what color mail box I can have. Along the same lines I also am not paying a monthly fee so I can pay higher property taxes.
I chose to move into my neighborhood because I saw an environment that I would fit into. So what If my good next door neighbor has his boat and trailer parked in his back yard because his driveway has his daily driver, his wife's car and the garage is filled with his truck, ATVs, morotcycles and tools. The guy across the street has 2 large vans he uses for work as a general contractor that are in his drive way, and the guy up the street from him runs a landscaping business and keeps his heavy equipment in his backyard. We often will have a bonfire at someone's house on the weekends and shoot the breeze over a few beers.
I would hardly say the neighborhood looks like crap, large nicely kept trees and bushes, some very nicely terraced gardens on the hill, flower gardens in front yards, houses that aren't identical, a back yards that open to a park. It isn't like there are derelict vehicles on blocks sitting in the front yard with old washing machines next to them surrounded by tall grass.
I don't agree with he green party on much either but they seem much less likely to take rights away than the Ds or Rs so they get my vote over them. My 2012 ballot was basically all greens or libertarians with one very libertarian leaning republican whom I knew well. What is needed is for Jesse Ventura to be on someone's ticket as the VP. He would crash the VP debate much like he did in the Minnesota Governors debate and would get noticed even if the man is a self obsessed douche.

Because they believe the hype that they have been fed. These people tend to believe that the electric grid has storage abilities as well.

Sounds like it is time to start buying euros.
I keep writing my congress critters and they don't want to hear that. I also suggested withdrawing from Asia as well with similar results.
Well not own, but my uncle and a couple of hunting buddies drive CNG vehicles every day all day for their jobs as do their coworkers.

I think you might be posting in the wrong article. The one you probably should be posting in is this one.

Sounds like someone forgot that the government is shutdown and therefor not a good time to drop off the monthly bribe.
You haven't seen a car fire until you have seen a Fiero fire, those things burn a long time.
I thought that was Pontiac's slogan.
When doing the WD-40 flamethrower trick it is best to light the plastic straw and then spray instead of spraying into the lighter's flame.

No kidding. I don't have mod points but even if I did I couldn't decided if you deserve a funny or insightful.

Given what most politicians look like I don't want any of their pictures more widely distributed.
and something sharp enough to cut it.
I don't think the school board would approve of the use of a thermal lance or diamond coated masonry saw in an elementary school classroom.

Sounds like par for the course for every project I have ever worked on. Same thing for performance testing.
