It seems they ranged from 265 to 350 hp, and 140 to 290 ft-lbs torque. The tires and road conditions make a big difference too.
When I bought my '00 WS/6 (stock 320hp and 345 ft-lbs torque), it game with some awful tires. The test drive was in the rain. The tires spun anywhere under 3rd gear. It was a "fun" test ride, and the salesman loved it, but I would have preferred to drive it. It had a new set of tires the next week, and that got rid of the unintentional tire spins.
12 years and 130,000 miles later...
The last dyno run measured it at 330hp and 345 ft-lbs torque. That's with the original engine, and even spark plugs. It just has some bolt-on stuff, but nothing internal done.
1) Employees at the agency that is chartered to be the most secretive agency the US government has is telling the press they aren't happy?
2) They want the President to visit because they've been doing their jobs, and it made the news?
3) They want a pitty party because a contractor has been leaking information? The fucking NSA? Let a contractor leak anything? They let a contractor walk away with classified documents? How is he still alive?
4) Are they not being paid for their jobs?
5) Were they under some insane misconception about what their job would be when they were hired? It's one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world. What did they think they were getting hired for? Play solitaire and collect paychecks?
This story makes me think that next week we'll be hearing about massive layoffs, and new openings with the agency.
Yes, I do believe they can tell the difference. They aren't determining the risk factor. They are passing on information based on scientific studies. The doctors who ran the studies make the determinations on risk. They provide the links to that research, and even specifically discuss other things you should do if you are concerned, including contacting a genetic counselor.
I didn't believe or not believe, I had gallstones based on the 23andMe report. I believed based on symptoms and a diagnostic ultrasound that showed two golf ball size stones where there should have been none.
Here's the study information they provide with this particular one. There's a lot of information on the page. I don't want to make this post huge by quoting the whole thing. It does include information on the lab that does the testing.
The FDA is pissed that 23andMe is making this information available, where you should normally spend a fortune with doctors, if you can get them to agree to doing genetic testing, to give you the same information.
ABCG8 Marker:rs11887534
This SNP is in a gene called ABCG8, which encodes a cholesterol transporter protein. The version of this SNP associated with increased risk for gallstones (C) causes a physical change in the protein that is thought to result in increased cholesterol transport into the biliary ducts and the gallbladder. This may precipitate the formation of gallstones; however, additional studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which this SNP affects gallstone formation. Having two copies of the C version of this SNP confers higher risk than having just one.
Research suggests that the C version of this SNP is also associated with slightly earlier onset of gallstones. There is also some evidence that this SNP may be associated with gallbladder cancer (gallstones are a risk factor for gallbladder cancer), but larger studies are required to verify this.
Multiple studies have confirmed this association in populations with European ancestry. A small Chinese study examined this SNP and found suggestive evidence for the association with gallstones and biliary tract cancer, but more studies are needed to confirm the association in Asian populations. This association has not been studied in populations with African ancestry. Citations

That quote isn't quite complete. They've only discontinued new user access to health related tests. They're still providing ancestry information.
The majority of the really useful information is genetic. The health information was secondary. Really, the whole health thing was vague at best, and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
For example, gallstones. My risk is 6.2%, where avg risk is 7.0%. Not bad, I have a lower chance.
I had to have my gallbladder removed a year ago, because I had two golf ball size stones. Yup, anything greater than a 0.0% chance means there is a chance. Lucky me.
Anyways, here's the full email they just sent out to 23andMe customers today.
Dear 23andMe Customers,
I'm writing to update you on our conversation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and how it impacts you.
If you are a customer whose kit was purchased before November 22, 2013, your 23andMe experience will not change. You will be able to access both ancestry and health-related information as you always have.
23andMe has complied with the FDA's directive and stopped offering new consumers access to health-related genetic results while the company moves forward with the agency's regulatory review processes. Be sure to refer to our 23andMe blog for updates.
We stand behind the data we have generated for customers. Our lab partner adheres to strict quality standards that are part of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 - known as CLIA. These are the same standards used in the majority of other health and disease-related tests.
You are among the first people in the world to ever get access to their genomes. You are genetic pioneers. Thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to continuing to serve you.
No one said it could get anywhere fast. It can run 2 of 3 thrusters to turn, so I'd expect it could run 2 of 3 thrusters to go straight. Anything faster than stopped is still movement.
Right, but if that circuit already has 9A of load on it, the breaker will pop. It doesn't matter that the particular outlet has nothing plugged into it.... as I've tried to explain to so many people who ask why circuit breakers pop and turn off half their house.:)
So 30A on 10 gauge works fine at 10 feet. It doesn't work so well at 500 feet.
And not that physics changes, but there are different rules in different areas. I may be able to install 10 gauge wire for a run here. Someone in the next city may be required to use 8 gauge for the same length run. That's why you're suppose to have a licensed local contractor doing work. You might know it's safe. It may not be done according to local code.
Now everyone, go back to setting up your Christmas lights.:) Tis the season for house fires.. flalalalalaaa lalalaa laaa laaa.
Sometimes I wish I kept notes on some of the insanities at places I've worked and consulted for. Most of the time I'm happy I didn't, because it means I have no liability when someone comes up with a wild-ass lawsuit. I've been subpoenaed for all of my records relating to places I hadn't been to or people I hadn't talked to in years. I prefer the answer "Sorry, all records were left with that employer when I left."
I've seen the curl on AIX thing. Well, not curl specifically, but they couldn't figure out how to update, because "AIX is different". They don't realize, you can put all the regular build tools on there (gcc and friends), and compile just about anything. Well, assuming there isn't an IBM pack for it. I'd be willing to bet there is. It may require upgrading a bunch of TLs. Oh my gosh, we can't upgrade anything, it's been running AIX 4.3.0 since 1997. What if it breaks something?
For those who don't know, "AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications" has worked since 3.0.5.20, so sometime around 1990.
The AIX boxes I worked with, I ended up building my GNU tools, and kept them in ~/bin , because (oh my gosh) we can't have unauthorized binaries in common locations.
Sadly, yes.. There are *lots* of programmers, who once ran a web server at their house to test with, who are confident that they are fully qualified to do the roles of sysadmin and netadmin. They're more than happy to throw you under the bus and accept 75% of your old salary to do the job.
How hard could those jobs really be? He kept the test box up 24/7 because he invested $100 on a UPS. His "network infrastructure" (cable modem with 1 "server" and two workstations) was flawless, except for when it went down.
They always think it scales out easily. 300 desks? No problem, that's just 300 wires from a Linksys/DLink/Netgear switch, right? Need more? We'll run down to TigerDirect/BestBuy/etc and get another 8 port switch.
It will all go smooth, til they have 300 people screaming that they can't reach the file server; or they can't print; or their email is slow; or Internet access is slow. But there's always a solution to that too. Hire a consultant!
I'm sure plenty of people here have seen exactly this. I've shown up on so many sites, where this was the situation. 5 to 8 port switches in all kinds of weird places. Some under desks. Some inside the drop ceiling with rat shit, and cat5 cables gnawed on by said rats. Some desktops having network problems because their network cable is laid over the carpet, covered by duct tape, in a high traffic area, And even desktops they couldn't figure out how to run cables to so they have USB wifi dongles on them, even though they're on the edge of coverage for that consumer grade AP on top of a file cabinet. Well, on top, if you're lucky. I've seen them under desks, with concrete walls between the AP and the user. Some of those were done by the $200/hr consultant that the boss likes because it's a "nice guy"
Do you have access to the magic Google box. You can find all you want yourself.
One of those that I linked was the mall who released the footage of a lady falling into a fountain while texting. I think that qualifies as person suing business.
Which part. Did I use too many words for you? Was the concept too difficult?
If you are the owner of a restaurant, and you sell, or give away footage of people eating in your restaurant, the person or persons shown on the video can sue you for civil damages. Celebrities have the most to lose and gain from it.
It is in the best interest of a restaurant owner to not allow random filming of patrons. They are lenient with taking photos and video of friends they are with, but can (and most likely will) eject you from the premises if you walk around filming everyone without permission. They can (and again most likely will) eject you, even if your camera isn't actually recording, as it presents itself as if you are recording.
The civil liability, of course, varies by jurisdiction. I don't recommend trying the boundaries, unless you like to either end up in court, or severely beaten for filming the wrong person.
What now atheists? You better hope it doesn't flood again.
No problem. We'll be the ones setting up to survive, while you're praying. And anyone on *my* ship who praises god for saving them will be kicked overboard.
Pay attention. If you believe your god has anything to do with a natural disaster, that means your god is trying to kill you. If anyone from anything but your specific sect of your specific religion helps you, then it means your god intended you to die.
Don't worry though, the Mormons will give you a posthumous baptism, so you'll be one of them for all eternity.
You can, and probably would, be asked to leave if you were to walk around obviously filming everyone in the restaurant as you walked through, and filming others at their tables. Sure, your phone may be able to record video. You aren't holding it up like you're filming the whole time.
And sure, you could get a covert camera. People don't know you're filming. If you were to make such videos public, you could easily be looking at legal problems, if nothing less in civil court.
Security cameras as used for security purposes. They can have a civil liability if they release security footage. Like, if they released footage of a celebrity eating dinner, they'd sue.
If you carried a video camera in the restaurant, and pointed it at everyone you passed by, you'd be asked to leave. I'm sure someone's going to argue "But Google Glasses aren't necessarily recording." Fine. Carrying a video camera in and pointing it at strangers doesn't mean that it's actually recording either.
It's a neat idea, but I'm afraid to say I won't welcome anyone into my house while wearing Google Glasses, nor will I be very open to them speaking to me in a workplace environment.
I've been watching Craigslist and local dealership ads for them. I have pretty much nothing for money right now, so it's just more of a passing interest.:) I've mostly been looking for Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, in the older versions. That puts them about 10 years old.
I decided a long time ago, I'll never sink a fortune into a car again. The last new-ish car I bought a 2000, that I bought in 2001 for Something like $35k. In the end with all the interest, it cost about $45k. Current value is about $8,500. That means I lost $36,500 on it. Buying a new car means, ya, you'll have a nice virgin car that no one has ever spilled a drink making a hard stop. It may not have had major body damage, but as I've learned plenty of new cars are damaged in shipping and are repaired by the dealer so there is no record of it.
The last vehicle I bought was a '99 SUV. It had issues. Lots and lots of issues. I also only paid something like $1,200 for it. Now the book value is $3,800. Until a recent accident, I did all of my own mechanical work. Paying to have it fixed would have been really expensive. Since I did it myself, I only have about $800 more invested. So I effectively paid $2,000 for something I could sell tomorrow for $3,800.
Looking at listings for a 10 year old hybrid shows the problems they have. The engines seem to do fine, since they're basically water cooled generators. Their electrical systems break down. A lot of the listings, they're selling because the batteries are failing, or have already failed.
Apparently, you can convince a Honda Insight to drive with the battery dead or disconnected.
The Toyota Prius, if the battery goes, you're having it towed back to Toyota for repairs. A couple people I've known with the Toyota Prius told me some of the disadvantages. Like, if the battery dies, you have to get it towed to Toyota to get a minimum charge put back in. If you leave it sitting for months, you'll have to get it towed to Toyota to get a minimum charge put back in. If the battery pack dies.. well, you get the idea.
One of them had a problem with the Prius, where the headlights would blink on and off. It was an electrical issue with the HID lights. A piece overheats, and the headlight turns off. It was just out of warranty, so Toyota told her something like $600 to repair it... Fucking $600 to fix a headlight. $200 for the bulb, $100 for the HID control module, and $300 for labor. Changing the headlight in that car (or at least that year) involved disassembling the entire nose of the car. Ya. no.
In the years of Honda Insight I was looking at, they used nickel metal-hydride batteries. They're actually kind of cute. There are a bunch of sticks that look like a row of C size batteries, in a stick, with special ends. I was curious about changing to Lithium Ion. Apparently lots of people have considered the same thing, and the general consensus is, you don't do that. I looked at how to do it, as if I had the car. I'm sure people look around and say "ya, you can do it! I saw a post talking about this guy who did." Tracking that back to the guy who really did it, or finding a vendor selling anything for it turns up just about nothing.
Plug-in charging options exist, but not for all of them. Some are totally hacked solutions. Like one I saw, a guy took two ATX power supplies, some fans, and a big warning of "don't leave it charging unattended. The batteries will overheat and catch fire". It sounded like he learned that through experience. Oops. If I go drop $5k on a car, it won't feel as bad catching it on fire as dropping tens of thousands on it and doing the same thing. Still, I don't really like the idea of wasting $5k, or the potential arson charge.
My biggest thing is, when I buy a car, it's not for 5 to 8 years and then I'll trade it on another. I am not interested in perpetually funding any corp for the pleasure of transportation. My cars are coming up on 14 and 15 years respectively
I think that's what he was saying. The thing is, you have to make sure the dosage is large enough. It all depends on your opiate tolerance. The wrong dose could just make you worse. Like, the person could suffer permanent organ damage, but not failure.
I've been prescribed a lot of opiate based pain killers over the years. Now I realize some were way above what any doctor should have normally prescribed, but it was because with each prescription and dose increase, it raised my opiate tolerance. It got to a point where my "normal" dose (4x day) would put someone with no opiate tolerance at serious risk. Like, they'd need to be in the hospital for an overdose. I don't take them at all any more, except for special circumstances. It's not an addiction thing, I do or don't take them as necessary. Like, I had abdominal surgery about a year ago, and they gave me a one week prescription. I took it for 2 days, and kept the rest for later "as needed". I have no urge to take them, but it's nice to have something better than ibuprofen around if I do need it. Before the surgery when I went to the ER in extreme pain, it took double the normal dose to make me not hurt. That was after at least a year of not touching any opiates for any reason.
I posted a comment a bit earlier, based on a guess for me. 200mg morphine with no opiate tolerance can be lethal. Less can be lethal if the person has adverse reactions to opiates. For someone with a high tolerance, 1000mg to 2000mg can be survivable without hospital care. So 4000mg, right in the IV should do it.
If I'm terminal, with no hope of improvement, all I hope is that a doctor will be kind enough to leave 4000mg morphine and
Euthanasia? illegal. Suicide? Illegal. Restrained to a bed, and kept alive while suffering through the last hours to years of your life against your will? Perfectly fine.
I hope when the day comes, I can have a doctor "accidentally" leave a nice large bottle of morphine and a syringe on my bedside table. I won't ask someone else to do it for me, unless I'm totally incapable. If I can do it for myself, why make someone else question if they did the right thing, or did what I really wanted.
4000mg morphine, and I'll take a nice permanent nap.
Yes, I've seen some of the specifications. IANAL, but I've worked with a few, and they've described some of the rules, and then shown me the spec to explain it to them.:)
To the best of my knowledge, the courts never had to deal with it. The Clerk of Court office would simply refuse them, and instruct the person filing of why they were refused. Like "Really, you can't use Comic Sans. Use Arial, Helvetica, or Times New Roman.
I'm guessing since he did receive filed papers with the Arial font, that it is accepted in that jurisdiction, and the guy bitching about it was just a dick. Admitting bias based on anything is absolutely stupid for an officer of the court.
This one (IMHO) is worse, âoelikes taking motions under advisement, but gets greater satisfaction denying themâ. Ok, so you just like refusing motions. It doesn't matter if there's justification for them? That's not how the judicial system is suppose to work. I guess it's good that he outed himself. He's just removed himself from the judicial system entirely. So much for those great career plans.
The Chevrolet and Nissan cars, straight from their sites. These are all "starting from..." prices. We could compare options all day. I've excluded the high end sports cars (Corvette and GT-R respectively)
$12,170 Spark $14,170 Sonic $17,270 Cruze $22,140 Malibu $23,555 Camaro --- Average --- $26,860 Impala $34,185 Volt <--- EV $43,475 SS
Chevrolet "average" is $24,228
Nissan $11,990 Versa Sedan $13,990 Versa Note $15,990 Sentra $16,760 Cube $22,010 Altima Sedan --- Average --- $25,230 Altima Coupe $28,800 Leaf <--- EV $29,990 370Z Coupe $31,000 Maxima $35,110 Pathfinder Hybrid $41,470 370Z Roadster
Nissan "average" is $24,758
Really, a $1,190 difference between a Leaf and a 370Z? $19.83/mo difference with 60 month financing? A buyer would switch up the the 370Z if they want performance, or they'll happily save $3,570 by going down to the Altima Coupe.
The same applies to Chevy, except stepping down to a gas car saves $7,325. Stepping up is a bit more expensive.
The EVs are a great idea. They aren't priced to sell to most consumers. They're priced to sell to people who want to brag they have an EV, much like pricing on high end sports cars.
I *want* an EV. If I had to buy a new car today, I wouldn't buy one. Besides the above average costs, I see longevity being a problem. The car I have now is over 10 years old. I have serious doubts in the longevity of the current EVs, and part replacement costs. As I understand it, the Volt battery pack is $8,000. Nissan Leafs batteries cost $15,000. Nissan has a payment plan deal, which still ends up costing you thousands.
There are other pesky issues, like the cost of recharging.
That's why they'd prefer to kill the meet-me room. Bring down all the links without yanking cords out, or dropping power to the rest of the DC floor.
Most facilities I've been in pass all traffic through the meet-me room. Sometimes the "room" is just a few racks with all the outside providers networking gear. Usually it's a separate room that requires special access. Like, I've never had access to go wandering around a providers meet-me room by myself. I'd usually get supervised tours. When I've needed to help providers work through their problems, I've been escorted by authorized personnel. That's always been "point, don't touch" access. We all acknowledge that all it would take to kill all peering in that room is to flip the main breaker(s) for that room. There's usually at least two panels from two different sources (i.e, two DC rooms either physically or logically divided.)

NJTA sues YouTube over the posting of a video that had been shot with an NJTA camera.
And this link may provide you with lots and lots of articles to read on the subject.
1) Google Glasses aren't.
2) "covert" spy camera eyeglasses aren't exactly covert.
3) You aren't my friend. You aren't welcome in.
Which part. Did I use too many words for you? Was the concept too difficult?
If you are the owner of a restaurant, and you sell, or give away footage of people eating in your restaurant, the person or persons shown on the video can sue you for civil damages. Celebrities have the most to lose and gain from it.
It is in the best interest of a restaurant owner to not allow random filming of patrons. They are lenient with taking photos and video of friends they are with, but can (and most likely will) eject you from the premises if you walk around filming everyone without permission. They can (and again most likely will) eject you, even if your camera isn't actually recording, as it presents itself as if you are recording.
The civil liability, of course, varies by jurisdiction. I don't recommend trying the boundaries, unless you like to either end up in court, or severely beaten for filming the wrong person.
No problem. We'll be the ones setting up to survive, while you're praying. And anyone on *my* ship who praises god for saving them will be kicked overboard.
Pay attention. If you believe your god has anything to do with a natural disaster, that means your god is trying to kill you. If anyone from anything but your specific sect of your specific religion helps you, then it means your god intended you to die.
Don't worry though, the Mormons will give you a posthumous baptism, so you'll be one of them for all eternity.
You can, and probably would, be asked to leave if you were to walk around obviously filming everyone in the restaurant as you walked through, and filming others at their tables. Sure, your phone may be able to record video. You aren't holding it up like you're filming the whole time.
And sure, you could get a covert camera. People don't know you're filming. If you were to make such videos public, you could easily be looking at legal problems, if nothing less in civil court.
Security cameras as used for security purposes. They can have a civil liability if they release security footage. Like, if they released footage of a celebrity eating dinner, they'd sue.
If you carried a video camera in the restaurant, and pointed it at everyone you passed by, you'd be asked to leave. I'm sure someone's going to argue "But Google Glasses aren't necessarily recording." Fine. Carrying a video camera in and pointing it at strangers doesn't mean that it's actually recording either.
It's a neat idea, but I'm afraid to say I won't welcome anyone into my house while wearing Google Glasses, nor will I be very open to them speaking to me in a workplace environment.
I've been watching Craigslist and local dealership ads for them. I have pretty much nothing for money right now, so it's just more of a passing interest. :) I've mostly been looking for Honda Insight and Toyota Prius, in the older versions. That puts them about 10 years old.
I decided a long time ago, I'll never sink a fortune into a car again. The last new-ish car I bought a 2000, that I bought in 2001 for Something like $35k. In the end with all the interest, it cost about $45k. Current value is about $8,500. That means I lost $36,500 on it. Buying a new car means, ya, you'll have a nice virgin car that no one has ever spilled a drink making a hard stop. It may not have had major body damage, but as I've learned plenty of new cars are damaged in shipping and are repaired by the dealer so there is no record of it.
The last vehicle I bought was a '99 SUV. It had issues. Lots and lots of issues. I also only paid something like $1,200 for it. Now the book value is $3,800. Until a recent accident, I did all of my own mechanical work. Paying to have it fixed would have been really expensive. Since I did it myself, I only have about $800 more invested. So I effectively paid $2,000 for something I could sell tomorrow for $3,800.
Looking at listings for a 10 year old hybrid shows the problems they have. The engines seem to do fine, since they're basically water cooled generators. Their electrical systems break down. A lot of the listings, they're selling because the batteries are failing, or have already failed.
Apparently, you can convince a Honda Insight to drive with the battery dead or disconnected.
The Toyota Prius, if the battery goes, you're having it towed back to Toyota for repairs. A couple people I've known with the Toyota Prius told me some of the disadvantages. Like, if the battery dies, you have to get it towed to Toyota to get a minimum charge put back in. If you leave it sitting for months, you'll have to get it towed to Toyota to get a minimum charge put back in. If the battery pack dies.. well, you get the idea.
One of them had a problem with the Prius, where the headlights would blink on and off. It was an electrical issue with the HID lights. A piece overheats, and the headlight turns off. It was just out of warranty, so Toyota told her something like $600 to repair it... Fucking $600 to fix a headlight. $200 for the bulb, $100 for the HID control module, and $300 for labor. Changing the headlight in that car (or at least that year) involved disassembling the entire nose of the car. Ya. no.
In the years of Honda Insight I was looking at, they used nickel metal-hydride batteries. They're actually kind of cute. There are a bunch of sticks that look like a row of C size batteries, in a stick, with special ends. I was curious about changing to Lithium Ion. Apparently lots of people have considered the same thing, and the general consensus is, you don't do that. I looked at how to do it, as if I had the car. I'm sure people look around and say "ya, you can do it! I saw a post talking about this guy who did." Tracking that back to the guy who really did it, or finding a vendor selling anything for it turns up just about nothing.
Plug-in charging options exist, but not for all of them. Some are totally hacked solutions. Like one I saw, a guy took two ATX power supplies, some fans, and a big warning of "don't leave it charging unattended. The batteries will overheat and catch fire". It sounded like he learned that through experience. Oops. If I go drop $5k on a car, it won't feel as bad catching it on fire as dropping tens of thousands on it and doing the same thing. Still, I don't really like the idea of wasting $5k, or the potential arson charge.
My biggest thing is, when I buy a car, it's not for 5 to 8 years and then I'll trade it on another. I am not interested in perpetually funding any corp for the pleasure of transportation. My cars are coming up on 14 and 15 years respectively
I think that's what he was saying. The thing is, you have to make sure the dosage is large enough. It all depends on your opiate tolerance. The wrong dose could just make you worse. Like, the person could suffer permanent organ damage, but not failure.
I've been prescribed a lot of opiate based pain killers over the years. Now I realize some were way above what any doctor should have normally prescribed, but it was because with each prescription and dose increase, it raised my opiate tolerance. It got to a point where my "normal" dose (4x day) would put someone with no opiate tolerance at serious risk. Like, they'd need to be in the hospital for an overdose. I don't take them at all any more, except for special circumstances. It's not an addiction thing, I do or don't take them as necessary. Like, I had abdominal surgery about a year ago, and they gave me a one week prescription. I took it for 2 days, and kept the rest for later "as needed". I have no urge to take them, but it's nice to have something better than ibuprofen around if I do need it. Before the surgery when I went to the ER in extreme pain, it took double the normal dose to make me not hurt. That was after at least a year of not touching any opiates for any reason.
I posted a comment a bit earlier, based on a guess for me. 200mg morphine with no opiate tolerance can be lethal. Less can be lethal if the person has adverse reactions to opiates. For someone with a high tolerance, 1000mg to 2000mg can be survivable without hospital care. So 4000mg, right in the IV should do it.
If I'm terminal, with no hope of improvement, all I hope is that a doctor will be kind enough to leave 4000mg morphine and
Euthanasia? illegal.
Suicide? Illegal.
Restrained to a bed, and kept alive while suffering through the last hours to years of your life against your will? Perfectly fine.
I hope when the day comes, I can have a doctor "accidentally" leave a nice large bottle of morphine and a syringe on my bedside table. I won't ask someone else to do it for me, unless I'm totally incapable. If I can do it for myself, why make someone else question if they did the right thing, or did what I really wanted.
4000mg morphine, and I'll take a nice permanent nap.
Yes, I've seen some of the specifications. IANAL, but I've worked with a few, and they've described some of the rules, and then shown me the spec to explain it to them. :)
To the best of my knowledge, the courts never had to deal with it. The Clerk of Court office would simply refuse them, and instruct the person filing of why they were refused. Like "Really, you can't use Comic Sans. Use Arial, Helvetica, or Times New Roman.
I'm guessing since he did receive filed papers with the Arial font, that it is accepted in that jurisdiction, and the guy bitching about it was just a dick. Admitting bias based on anything is absolutely stupid for an officer of the court.
This one (IMHO) is worse, âoelikes taking motions under advisement, but gets greater satisfaction denying themâ. Ok, so you just like refusing motions. It doesn't matter if there's justification for them? That's not how the judicial system is suppose to work. I guess it's good that he outed himself. He's just removed himself from the judicial system entirely. So much for those great career plans.
He sounds like he must write everything in Comic Sans, or Canterbury.
{sigh}
Lets compare..
The Chevrolet and Nissan cars, straight from their sites. These are all "starting from..." prices. We could compare options all day. I've excluded the high end sports cars (Corvette and GT-R respectively)
Really, a $1,190 difference between a Leaf and a 370Z? $19.83/mo difference with 60 month financing? A buyer would switch up the the 370Z if they want performance, or they'll happily save $3,570 by going down to the Altima Coupe.
The same applies to Chevy, except stepping down to a gas car saves $7,325. Stepping up is a bit more expensive.
The EVs are a great idea. They aren't priced to sell to most consumers. They're priced to sell to people who want to brag they have an EV, much like pricing on high end sports cars.
I *want* an EV. If I had to buy a new car today, I wouldn't buy one. Besides the above average costs, I see longevity being a problem. The car I have now is over 10 years old. I have serious doubts in the longevity of the current EVs, and part replacement costs. As I understand it, the Volt battery pack is $8,000. Nissan Leafs batteries cost $15,000. Nissan has a payment plan deal, which still ends up costing you thousands.
There are other pesky issues, like the cost of recharging.
That's why they'd prefer to kill the meet-me room. Bring down all the links without yanking cords out, or dropping power to the rest of the DC floor.
Most facilities I've been in pass all traffic through the meet-me room. Sometimes the "room" is just a few racks with all the outside providers networking gear. Usually it's a separate room that requires special access. Like, I've never had access to go wandering around a providers meet-me room by myself. I'd usually get supervised tours. When I've needed to help providers work through their problems, I've been escorted by authorized personnel. That's always been "point, don't touch" access. We all acknowledge that all it would take to kill all peering in that room is to flip the main breaker(s) for that room. There's usually at least two panels from two different sources (i.e, two DC rooms either physically or logically divided.)
