And denying income to people because you don't like kids working, when they are likely the only wages they'll ever see is cruel. Yeah, better for the kids to starve because there is no income than to have them work in mines.
Pretty much what I'm wondering. If there were better jobs for them to take, they would have probably taken them.
If young children are working in hazardous mines, I can't imagine they are doing it for any reason other than they have to do it for food.
It's a sad situation but what would happen to them if tomorrow we saw the entire operation employing them permanently closed?
A presidential candidate that actually knew what the fuck they were talking about when it came to computers, networking (And security) and the internet?
I run for the popcorn every time bernie, hillary, trump, cruz, etc. are asked any kind of technology related question.
I'm just waiting for "consolization" of cars, where vehicles come with the same engines across the board, but you have to pay license fees to enable the turbos, unlock all horsepower, use the BlueTooth functionality on the audio head... and none of those licenses will transfer with the vehicle, which guarentees that car makers make a significant, tidy sum when a vehicle is sold. Similar with farm equipment. Want to use the PTO? That is a licensed feature and even though the transmission supports it, the TCM won't enable it unless the manufacturer gets $2000 for a license key.
It wouldn't surprise me, given that a lot of the time the sportier version of a car has exactly the same parts, just a different tune on the ECU.
Thankfully there are alternatives that don't involve going back to the carburetor.
As Lumpy said, there is the 7730 GM ECU.
There are several aftermarket systems such as megasquirt, though it isn't completely open source.
There is the Saab Trionic 5.2 and 5.5 ECU which I have a lot of experience with. It requires the use of Saab's proprietary direct ignition cassette, but offers a LOT of options and now has a complete software suite (FREE) for tuning, one of the best features here is ionic knock sensing.
There are also a lot of smaller, truly open source engine management projects. I'd like to make my own just for shits and giggles.
Given how absolutely-fucking-everything in modern cars seem to be controlled by the ECU, these solutions will probably require extensive modification for newer cars and it probably won't happen until these newer cars become older cars.
And as far as I know there isn't a "transmission ecu" project going on (Keep in mind automagic transmissions have taken over in the US).
I think I'm just rambling at this point. Anyone interested in ECU modification should check out ECUproject.com
I think I'm going to go for a drive in my 1986 5-speed running Trionic. Amazing how much more power and drivability you get in older cars with updated engine management systems.
If thinking people are mentally ill for identifying as nonexistant creatures and demanding the use of correct "pronouns" makes you a Nazi, then I guess I'm fine with being a Nazi.
I find it difficult not to consider the modern leftist more pro-government than the right.
Who wants welfare? Who wants free shit? Who wants hate speech laws? Who wants to repeal the first amendment? Who wants to tell everybody else "You can't own that"? Who wants to fine you for "mis gendering" somebody?
They are both shitheads, not defending the pitiful right, but the modern leftist is extremely authoritarian. They are too weak to do anything themselves (Aside from make harassing phone calls in an attempt to get you fired) so they relay on our government to enforce their perfect utopia.
Pretty sure he was being sarcastic and it went over your head. I think he meant it in the way that anyone who disagrees with another persons belief tends to scream "TROLL!" to silence them instead of trying to engage in discussion.
running an unpatched version of the most-targeted platform for malware in the world means that it's not a question if if you'll get compromised, it's when, no matter how safe you think you're being.
8 years and counting for me, last time I had an issue was when a friend with an infected flashdrive came over to use my computer.
My secret? I don't download sketchy shit from GETDRIVERSNOW.COM or click on FREE GAMES AND MOUSE CURSORS ads.
The one time in years I decided to use my legit copy of windows was a week ago. It immediately downloaded 300 something updates, started applying them on shutdown and hung for hours on update 279. A hard reset later and it's impossible to boot and inserting the disc and attempting to repair ended in failure. All this even though I had updates disabled.
Thanks, I'll stick with my pirated copy. The legit copy can continue gathering dust on my shelf.
Forgot to add that if it emits black soot it is running way too rich. Sure, when you cram more air into the engine it needs to add more fuel but that is extremely excessive and the car mus have other problems.
Except that a 1.5/2l gas engine is not compatible in torque and is so turbo charged that it emits black sooth all the time from gasoline. Also because it is so small and pushed to the limit, you have to change oil every 3 months, and get a ridiculous 26mgp on the highway. It is not an engine that is build to last, it is going to be dead at 120k miles, and you can't tow anything with it.
What 1.5/2l turbo only lasts for 120k?
I have a feeling that a decline in quality has much more to do with "dead at 120k miles" than engine configuration.
I'm still driving a 1986 Saab 900 2.0| T on the original engine bearings and piston rings, tops out at around 18psi and I am not easy on it. 700k miles and still running fine aside from a few oil seals I need to replace. Got about 16 to 26 MPG before I put in a more modern ECU.
After a particular model year they stopped lasting nearly as long and I decided to look into why that was. Main reasons were they stopped nitriding the crank shaft and started using low quality bi-metal bearings instead of high quality tri-metal bearings, along with using pistons with much shorter skirts and "low tension" piston rings in an attempt to get slightly better gas mileage.
A friend of mine has a turbo'd 1.8 miata with a little over 200k on it, still getting along just fine despite squeezing 283hp out of it, from what I read this can be pretty reliable.
Speech comes with certain responsibilities. Not shouting fire in a theatre, for example. If you can't express your controversial ideas without trolling then you need to take responsibility and improve your writing skills.
The problem is stating/any/ controversial opinions is called "trolling" now.
I ended up breaking apart the coil and putting a nail at one end and pulsing the power to make a crude coil gun and ended up harvesting photo flash capacitors and making a three stage coilgun inside a vacuum cleaner handle. I miss being a kid.
Then you likely have to replace an entire body panel or structural member instead of welding a new piece in, depending on how skilled you are with welding thin metal.

Best part about still owning an older CRT monitor, aside from quality and refresh rate:
It makes a great space heater!

People actually send child porn through Gmail?
Not just Gmail, but their own personal Gmail account? Without using a VPN, Tor, etc.?
I've got no words.

Got any other shaming tactics you want to try?
The "progressive" left. You know, the kind of people that participate in this kind of thing:

Or will insult/exclude/harass you for being white or male, justified by their tinfoil hat conspiracy theories.
Considering your posts are rated at -1, troll, it seems that they have proven you right.

Loving how the comments are proving your point.
You have a different opinion than mine? You criticized someone who happens to be black, female or other minority?
TROLLS. STOP TROLLING ME SHITLORD. Everyone knows my politically correct opinion will remain unchallenged until the end of time!
