I'd like to add that faster speeds mean less reaction time. The road might be physically capable of handling 100 anything per hour, but the bottom line, is that we might not have fast enough reflexes to deal with various obstacles.
In BC, we used to split "the $25" both ways, so both parties could carry on. I don't know if we do that now, though.
ICBC used to literally give both parties the exact same amount, regardless of fault.It sounds like something that you read about only in obscure articles, but I seem to recall them advertising it in the local papers.
I totally agree with you. Yes, these things are important "to us", but we're not talking about coffee preferences. We're talking about functionality and usability, which are very important to a lot of people.
Hi again. Here's an update, in case you're curious.
I went in to see a family doctor, and he thinks that I might have it, so he is referring me to a counselor. If the counselor thinks that I have it, then I'll have to pay for a proper diagnosis with my own cash, which I'll do.
I read through the book, and from what it seems, I have a mild case of Asperger's. I definitely struggled with about half of the problems of the book. The others are completely foreign to me. Just being aware of what it is like will reduce the symptoms, I think, because I'll try to be on my best behaviour.
I'll probably return the book to the library, to let somebody else use it. Once I start seeing a counselor, I'll buy/borrow for more in depth reading.
I've noticed that I have felt quite at peace with myself, now that I know that I probably have it.
Thanks to you, I'll be able to start living a "normal" life.;^p
Like you, I won't try to be normal. I'm going to try to be as normal as possible, but I'll just try to work with my abilities.
Thank you for taking time out of your life to help me.
[You are an official bastard. I clicked on "Homepage" to go to your blog. I only realized that that was a mistake, just a split second too late. I laughed out loud, moment later, though. That's a good one. Good job.]
I subscribed to your news feed, so if you start blogging, then I'll get updated.
I guess that I see what you mean. People without Asperger's would be able to use their intuition to learn about Flirting, whereas Aspies wouldn't be able to learn by intuition, I bet.
I see that you mentioned pants a couple of times in the blog entry about obligations. I take it that you like to wear alternative clothing. Am I right?
It is interesting that you're taking on a new label, assuming that you're relatively serious. I'm also looking for a new label, but it's hard to come up with something reasonable.
What do you call it when you don't even think the answer to the question "does God exist?" could possibly be important? Believe if you like, or don't, it doesn't matter.
I'd call it apathetic, but apathy has negative connotations.
I just don't like it when people are needlessly and illogically antagonistic.
That's frightening. I must have missed so many opportunities.:^( Just the other day, I noticed that a girl was giggling and stroking her hair, etc., when she was talking with me. Because this whole Aspie thing is on the forefront of my mind, it caught my attention. It fascinated me, but I didn't know what to do.
Thanks for the comparison to NY. I especially like the "6.9 million" number. At first, I thought that it was only 3 more zeros than Rwanda's needs, but not even close.
That being said, now I'm even more excited about this, because it is really obvious that Rwanda is "just starting out" in comparison to us. I hope that they take this initiative and develop it, to start exporting technology to the rest of the world. Maybe they can use their influence to push the rest of Africa into this century.
If they're going to push the water up, then they should create a fountain. They could take it a step further, by creating an art project, and then charging admission.
I think that I figured out a possible problem with the moderation system.
Perhaps moderators from different countries are moderating "us". That particular comment wasn't negative, controversial, or political. It is quite a ways down the page. It has a very positive tone. I can only assume that somebody from a foreign country looked at the 2 words, "grease" and "traps", and saw negative connotations. I tutor ESL, and try to learn languages, so I am keenly aware that we can't put 2 words together and then automatically get a correct interpretation of the resulting phrase. Also, many cultures don't use "the", so they might try to use it in English, but not understand the potential meaning. The last potential problem is that the moderator might have the URL thingy turned off: "[biodieselnow.com]". If we don't see that, then we might assume that the link might be goatse, without checking. We could easily check, but still...;^P
So, in short, perhaps the moderator thought that "grease" = "greasy", which might produce, "You're close - in the States, we actually generate power off of the Taco Bell, which has greasy traps...".
I'm not letting the moderator off of the hook. Rather, I'm trying to get a clearer understanding of this strange moderation problem that we have.
I'm glad that you put it into perspective like that. I suspected that the natural resource was approximately the size of a football field or 2, and that Rwanda was an above average size African country.
Hmm. Before hitting submit, I decided to take a look at a map of Africa, and find the population of Rwanda. Wow. I didn't realize how small the place was.
That being said, I'm very happy for them. This sounds like a genuine attempt at furthering themselves. Kudos. Hopefully, they'll have the innovation to try to bring their technology to other places. Then again, according to the summary, there are only 3 of these lakes.

He was the racist. He implied that black people are poor.
The computer tricked him into thinking that he was posting anonymously.
Are you telling me that you can tail gate at 400 km/hour, with no risk?
I agree with you.

:^D I never thought of it in terms of "militanty".
What you say reminds me of that Futurama episode, where they encounter Neutrals. I still remember, "Beige alert! Beige alert!".
I usually wear hosiery and shorts, which tends to feel tidier and freer than pants. Have you ever tried that?
I see that you mentioned pants a couple of times in the blog entry about obligations. I take it that you like to wear alternative clothing. Am I right?
:^D Seriously?? You like the label?

Exactly. Me too.
How did he "steal" her away? I assume that you're being figurative. Was he passionate and persistent? Was he more than she ever expected from a guy?
He was probably just steering the discussion in the "correct" direction, as opposed to replying to your question.
I totally agree with you. Keep it up.
In this situation, people are not supposed to have anything to hide, because the cameras aren't there to monitor private things.
Yeah, I heard that of all continents, Africa has the greatest potential, because of natural resources, location and a huge labour pool.

How do people generate it for soda?

Yeah, but Chuck Norris thinks that it was Chuck Norris who was in it.
I don't understand your flirt test. Why couldn't an aspie flirt so poorly and fail, as opposed to not flirting and being alone?
