3 hours travel, avg 55 miles an hour = 165 miles double for the trip home so 330 miles 330 miles at 20 miles a gallon= 16.5 gallons a day at 3 dollars a gallon = $49.50 a day
8 hours of work at 8 an hour = 64 dollars a day 64 dollars - 49.50 = 14.50 a day to live off of.. before taxes.
Note this does not include the income tax, wear on the vehicle, or the other assorted daily expenditures.
Change the "idle" in the url to news or ile or anything. You will get the standard page then. I'm still not sure why the idle pages are even different from the reg ones.
Ive known this trick for a while, I wish there was a setting somewhere so I could make them pop up as ile or news or whatever. Save me from having to reload the page, or copying, pasting and editing the link.
That's what your saying, cause if everyone gave a few dollars to be shared, then no one would have to worry about one entity giving billions.
I'm sorry that doesn't seem to make sense to you.
You seem to think that your individual donation means something It doesn't even make a blip on the screen compared to what a corp donates. Why would a politician care about your donation. He doesn't, not really, he cares about the donation from the Koch brothers. Where will this politicians loyalty lay? Well Ill give you 1 guess.
Public financing.. get over it. Id rather support someone I don't like then have them bought and paid for by a single individual or entity. If we all pay for all the politicians, then they have to listen to the people. You know the ones they are supposed to be representing.
So you want our politicians bribed by a select few. You are whats wrong with America. You seem to be happy with the system we got. Well im not.. and you calling me names isnt going to change that.
Money is not free speech as far as I'm concerned. I think that no one person/organization/corporation should not be allowed to give more then 50 dollars to a politician, and no more then 300 a year total.
It would be even better if there was public financing for all politicians.
How come you believe that I should have to give money to get my voice heard. Why should I bribe my politician?
It turns the measure of my voice into the amount of money I have. Which means that corporations have a much louder voice then I do. Thats wrong
That is the first time Ive seen anyone ever explain that. Thanks, I think anything that removes political contributions to elected officials is a good thing.
Shhh... Careful.. positive talk about the mythbusters around here is kinda like saying something nice about Microsoft.
Roving bands of Uber-Nerds who are upset that someone made a TV show that can prove or disprove difficult to answer questions with trial and experiment. Of course its entertaining too, so there are many people out there, who dont qualify as "nerds" enjoying this pesudo science.
Positive talk of the mythbusters causes what could be analogous to a full moon to the werewolf to these Uber-nerds. They hike their britches up to their arm pits, ask for some cheese (dont give them any!!) and attack Adam and Jamie's supporters as unfit to enjoy science. If confronted by these Uber-Nerds puff out your chest, wave your arms, and threaten loudly to give them a wedgie or a swirly. If you have a calculator, or old cell phone, throw it in one direction and run in the other. Uber-nerds cant move fast with their pants so high.
Im a nerd, and I approve of Mythbusters. Anything that helps to pull the rest of the worlds collective head out of its collective ass is a good thing. It may not be true scientific method, but at least its based on reasoning and facts rather then mysterious sky daddies.
However, searches that intrude upon a traveler's personal dignity and privacy interests, such as strip and body cavity searches, must be supported by "reasonable suspicion."[68]
"nonroutine" searches must be supported by "reasonable suspicion"... while searches of a traveler's body, including strip, body cavity and involuntary x-ray searches, are considered "nonroutine." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Border_search_exception
This is only for borders also, other random searches are much more highly regulated when your not dealing with a border.
4th amendment, it is my right. You needing the comfort of security theater is not a right.
Some places do, some do not. In some of the major cities they do have curbside recycling. In my city they don't, but there are neighborhood recycling centers everywhere here. I pass 3 on the way to college, and there is another located at my college. So it isn't a large problem for me to drop the stuff off.
They also schedule neighborhood recycling for dangerous household chemicals, like paints. These are usually once a year or so for the neighborhood. If I'm not mistaken they will even take CRTs at these events.
Perhaps my internet isn't working. Perhaps id like to have a phonebook released by an authoritative source. I don't want to have to search for an individual's phone number online. Its an exercise in futility.
Its not like I'm going to cost them a lot of money.. I mean sending me a CD once a year cant cost much. America Online sent them to everyone in America for years, even when people used them for target practice. Im sure the same company that charges me 40 dollars a month for phone service can afford to spend 25 cents mailing me a cd. Hell tack the 25 cents onto my bill.
Either way, whats the point in filling up the landfill with phonebooks? Yes, I'm sure that a lot of the phonebook easily biodegrades, except for the cover and any glossy pages or whatnot. That is unless the book is in a trash bag, then it degrading will probably take much longer.
Its been a while, but I read an article on how newspapers have been found in landfills, and are still legible after 50 years.
I never said getting rid of them completely was a good idea. Just that I would like to get one on a CD.
I don't particularly like looking up phone numbers online, especially white page numbers. If I had a CD it would save me time and trouble. They also shouldn't be to expensive. I'm sure the phone company already has all this information in a digital format, and CDs are dirt cheap.
A quick google shows that 81% of people in the US own a computer. (As of June of 07) Putting it on a CD, or making the ISO available for download could save the phone companies large amounts of money, while still providing numbers from an authoritative source. The other 20% can opt in for a paper book.

Well why don't you point out what he has wrong. Cause frankly looking at your arguments (and yours alone) your the wrong one here.
At least we know the Indians (Hindu) arn't eating our precious hamburgers!!
I am hungry, a pony might not be enough. I could eat a horse though.

Dont feed the trolls. Sorry I fed you yesterday, there is no saucer or milk for you today. Shoo.. go on now.. Shoo.

Who uses stones as a measurement anymore, even the UK gave it up in 85. Btw, a stone is 14 pounds or 6.35029 kg.

I have. On more then one occasion.
Ooooo how do I get that type of mod points?

Alright comon Mark, your not allowed to nominate yourself. Trust me, no one with any sense looks up to you.
That explains so much.
Either I missed the woosh, or your trolling.
