Shit, I've swerved to miss a bottle in the road and nearly killed myself. People are stupid and make stupid decisions. Myself included.
Why don't we start keeping people out of the streets? Build the occasional pedestrian bridge or tunnel.
Imagine an interstate system that didn't slow to a crawl every time some jackass breaks down on the OTHER SIDE! I'd pay a fair penny to get back the hour of my life lost to slogging to and from work every day. It may not make a utopia, but it'd be close!
Atomic Fireball is my favorite, but you need to use a glass or metal tank. The cinnamon eats through plastic tanks but man is it a nice vape. If you like fruity, try watermelon. Dual coil tanks are a must, but your pg/vg concentration will affect the smoke production as much if not more. The more PG you have, the thinner the e-juice and the "easier" it will vape, but there will be little to no smoke. VG is added to produce the smoke and thicken the liquid. Personally, I prefer 50/50 or 60/40 PG/VG.
Some people I know will use 100% PG with no flavoring in their stealth setup. Add a stubby 300mah battery and a short tank and you can get a full tank setup in a device slightly larger than a AA battery.
I smoked for ~20 years. Once I found an ecig setup I liked, I haven't looked back. I have gone from a $40 carton a week to $20 a MONTH for juice and replacement cartomizers. Every 2-3 months or so I'll go wild and buy another tank or battery for $10-$20. I just got a mini-usb passthrough battery and that is a big step forward. No need to remove the tank to charge, and you can keep using it while it's plugged in.Nice piece of kit.
I can taste and smell again. I'm not short of breath. I don't have to take illicit breaks at work to smoke and I don't miss it. I can drive to work with my windows rolled up regardless of the weather.
My only complaints about ecigs is their relative scarcity. There are only a few local shops that really deal in it, and none of them are convenient for me. Because of this, I find I need to carry two, because things do go wrong. Batteries die, tanks leak or carto's can go out without warning, like light bulbs. So a spare is always nice. Also, when a battery starts to weaken, it's pretty obvious in the vapor production, so a fully charged spare is nice.
Then again, cigarettes had their issues as well. They had to remain dry, went stale if left out, burned your house down if left unattended, turned everything brownish, you had to lug around a lighter and hope it didn't run out or get stolen, etc, ad nauseum.
So all in all, I'm way happier with my ecig experience.
I've been pulled over on while I was on my motorcycle around 20 times. 20 for 20 were on the phone. Most of them were holding the phone up to their left ear totally blocking their left field of vision. All I can say is Loud Pipes Save Lives. One good rev and I don't care how loud your radio is, you are going to FEEL that I am there. I don't usually even bother with the horn. People usually have the decency to be a little freaked out when they realize what they were about to do.
That being said, I ride a cruiser. I'm not sure how crotch rockets avoid getting smacked all the time. Too small and too quiet. They DO look like fun though!
Good luck getting it through a multivitamin, too. The only way you get vitamin D effectively is from PUVA absorbed by the skin. Get a lamp, not a multivitamin.
Yeah, but people like move and stuff. It's more about keeping accurate voter registration info. The license part is just the impetus to keep the public coming in and registering.
So cute. You think they'd go to court. They would just send an underling to the court with the ticket and the prosecutor would simply dismiss the case.
Why would this be more dangerous than a regular motorcycle? I regularly ride by 18-wheelers doing 70 in the opposite direction and I barely feel much more than a tug. It has certainly never given me reason to be concerned. If the wind conditions are such that it really becomes an issue, pull over. You shouldn't be driving at all. Also, these things are skinny. You can scoot over a LOT and avoid most of the wind that a giant SUV feels.
Then again, I think that looks like SOOO much fun! It just looks like the natural you would fly in a video game from the 80's. Think S.T.U.N. Runner.
Played it this morning. My copy is from Good old Games. The $6 they charged for a working install that worked on a win7 machine without having to find all 4 cd's and related keys and making sure they weren't scratched was sooooo worth it. Even for a game I already bought twice.
As creepy as it is, it was fascinating to see that the analysis it ran on my recipients was totally accurate. It knew who people were by how I knew them better than I did. Groups like family were in different colors. It was a detailed overhead view of my little personal electronic world.
I've mostly seen it used by companies that insist on direct deposit, with employees that refuse to have a bank account for whatever reason. Mostly labor workers, not skilled workers.
And it works. I saw a marine stand within 10 feet of the exhaust while the F117-A was prepping for takeoff at an airshow in Florida a few years back. You could see the heat coming out of the vents, but it was similar to the shimmer coming off a highway. It was nothing like the cone of pure fury coming out of the F-16's. In the air they run quite a bit hotter but still nothing compared to, say, flares. The F-177 was really quiet, too. Very impressive machine.
The Ceton 4 is the one you are referring refer to. It supports 4 tuners and it works great with OTA, but forget about recording anything on the Cox network. They've set the HDCP copy flag to never allow copying. Not even to record it for time-shifting purposes.
And they really work, too. I have one. When I tore my rotator cuff in college, I had a choice of surgery and maybe getting back 85% of my movement back, or trying a muscle stimulator, or TENS machine. I used it on the torn shoulder set well below the pain threshold for a few weeks and then started slowly working it up. After a few months I was already past 85% movement and still improving. Now, an unmentionable number of years later, I'm playing racketball again with 100% range of motion. For six hundred dollars. And no pain.
That being said, no amount of money would get me to stick it anywhere near my head. Shudder. The machine I got is capable of making your muscles rip themselves apart. If you overestimate when you increase the power, you effectively taze yourself. The only good thing is you know there's a rest period in a few seconds so you can stop it. It hurts. A LOT. I know.;)
My Empeg mk2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empeg has been living in my current car for over a decade (and my jeep for 3 years before that). It uses standard ide laptop drives (dual 30gb). The same two drives have been mounted in my car since February, 1999. The only special consideration they get is the rubber mounting grommets holding the drives to the frame of the Empeg. The ONLY issues I've had with this setup was with the rotary encoder getting dirty and now the VFD is getting weak. So now I have an mp3 player that is almost old enough to drive itself that has been parked outsidein a mustang in the elements on the Gulf Coast for the entire time. Nothing on the market yet can do what the Empeg does, at least without me having to take my eyes off the road.
I know my story is anecdotal, but I've had my car 3-5 times as long as most people keep theirs and I just haven't seen the hard drive failures you are talking about. To be fair, the empeg guys did a lot of smart things when they built it, such as using caching to memory heavily. This way that the drives could be spun down when not in use. The drives auto-parked when not active, etc.
And remember, we're talking about laptop drives. They're slow on purpose. 5400 rpm drives are preferable in a situation like this. We're not talking about 15k server class multi-TB storage units.

Not with a shotgun.

Crap, not PUVA. No psoralin involved. It's just the UV you need.
Good luck getting it through a multivitamin, too. The only way you get vitamin D effectively is from PUVA absorbed by the skin. Get a lamp, not a multivitamin.

note the temperature sensor in there
That looks like 9 temperature sensors. If this is a grow op, then it is probably being used as corroborating evidence.

Yeah, but your traffic pattern will now be seeded with kiddie porn, warez, and torrents. Awesome.

Tell me. I have a Ceton 4 USB sitting in the box because COX decided to turn the Copy Never flag on for EVERYTHING. Fuckers.

Nonsense.
Apple and Microsoft will happily comply. After all, they've already take away the end-user's control of their mobile devices.

We have legal places for this. They're called libraries.
