I am curious however to know where the straw man is in my statement. If seeing OVER traffic is important to you, and every year a bigger car comes out, then eventually you cannot see over traffic unless you continually purchase the newest and tallest auto. This is why I called it an arms race.
I didnt know the difference was so low for the hybrids. If what you say is true then why bother?
I dont believe that your comparison is very valid however. You compared the worst of the cars to the average of the trucks.
My car also has very low mileage in city driving, but it does nearly double (to over 30mpg) when I have a chance to run it on the interstate. I bought it for safety, not for efficiency, and the options that provided the best brakes and handling came with the 280 HP motor. Unfortunately I cant combine only the parts that I want without voiding the warranty.
None of this changes that there is an obvious gray area between giant and tiny cars, and that many people driving the biggest of the big really dont ever put the features to good use.
Whenever my wife tells me to take the golf clubs out of my car for better mileage, I ask her why she doesnt just call me a fat slob. There are several places that 20 pounds can be removed from my car, but it isnt so correct to tell everyone to get off their fat asses to save fuel (unless your an airline)
especially when the bumper of the bigger vehicle is aimed directly at the head of the driver of the smaller vehicle. I dont think glass windows are considered crumple zones.
just to clarify... is it the lack of using fossil fuels that allows bike riders to not signal or follow traffic laws and ride on sidewalks? or the larger than microscopic penis?
(its a joke, i ride bikes and have a larger than microscopic penis too)
This made me laugh. There is quite a range of types and sizes of cars in between giant SUV and sub-compact. There are also now giant SUVs coming in hybrid flavors, which I would think help to satisfy some people in your position of actually needing the Utility provided in these beasts. The problem where all of society fears lighter weight cars due to the number of giant cars is brought on by the millions of 110 pound women who will never carry more than a few gallons of milk "needing" to drive SUVs.
I think it may have been possible that the information on the passports was recorded prior to boarding the airplane. Every time I have presented information and purchased tickets, the information that I used to identify myself was saved somewhere for future reference if needed.
Only if anyone is claiming to have found the physical passports then you are correct.
I thought their agendas became just getting re-elected. This requires huge input of capital from the party heads, and if you don't toe the party line then you significantly reduce your chances of having funding for the next election.
All other motives take a back seat, and in my cynical view, the party lines are so dedicated to the money that the true platform for both sides is written by the same money wielding groups.
The lack of experience of Obama is a bright spot IMHO as far as these matters are concerned.
Add to this the fact that Alan Moore isnt lending his name to the movie and I am even more skeptical. A dark story with a non-happy ending doesn't sit very well with focus groups. I will save my cash a read the book again.
I love the fast bootups on the SSD on the eee, and all my data is portable or network accessible anyhow. The slightly larger keyboard might be nice, but now that I have gotten used to the tiny keys a normal keyboard actually makes me tired.
Not so quick. The turbo button in my 80s Civic was mislabeled AC, but I think the only incorrect installation was the light itself. If I turned off the AC light, the car could actually climb a hill with passengers in it.
yup. I like the competitiveness that can be found in the scores and rankings. Also, the trainers start at easy enough repetitions and work up to more as you get better, which works great for someone who is out of shape. This encourages more strenuous workouts as time goes on, and I am actually afraid of how hard it will make me work as the reps get closer to failure.
exactly. The rainy day / pressed for time bit is what is helping me, although the real issue is that finding time to do much exercise with a one year old around is difficult. This is quiet and I can stick around the house, and stay in better shape than if I just stare at tv (or slashdot).
strangely, after trying to give this a real effort and running through many of the exercises daily, I actually do feel a slight difference. Not just common sense, but real experience speaking here. Is it the same as riding a bike or playing soccer, no. It does meet a useful niche though. Forcing odd balance and repetitions does work you core , and lunges and such do work your large butt and thigh muscles. This leads to calorie burn. I have truly been hungry all week since I got this.
Is this because it would make no sense for consumers to buy from the plant at retail, and sell to the plant at wholesale. I know it sounds like the power company is being ripped off at first, but if the end result is an even trade watt for watt, then the 7x number becomes irrelevant fast. This would encourage people to generate some of their own power and I have a hard time finding the negative in that.

i normally dont bother replying to ACs...

i meant a few gallons of milk over the life of the truck !

so you buy the newest tallest car every year?
Please give up the see over traffic argument. It is a silly arms race at best.

people in Atlanta drive on highways for very significant amounts of time every day. The problem is we still dont drive above 30 mph very often.

what do you mean? there is a full additional sentence that wasnt in the summary.

Not perfect, not a gym , but quite useful.

On the other hand, I could be completely wrong.
just get a tattoo of a collar and tie, and some nice shoes.
