    LOL. Me an addict? Ain't gonna happen. You know the last time I smoked before last night? 3 months ago. I can live with or without MJ. Honestly, I don't really care either way. Toke up as much as you want, just don't harass me to toke up with you. If you want to toke up dude, have fun. Hell, I sell more then I smoke, and I only have .5OZ in my residence at any given time. I am far from an addict. I'll smoke it if I have it, but if I don't, no big deal. Hell I have had some for a couple of months, and I have no "need" or "want" to ger any higher at this time. I have no problem w/ turning down MJ. Nate, is this you?

    Unless it is a mortgage, or another purchase in excess of $50000, the credit granter will typically only check with one bureau. Inquire about which bureau they are checking with, so you don't end up spending unnecessary money. It usually only takes 15 minutes to unfreeze a credit line, so place the call, and go have a cigarette. By the time that you come back in, it will be open, and they can run the credit score. After you are approved for the loan, place another call, and freeze your credit score again.

    That's $30 for a protection for life, (until you lift the freeze), versus $120/yr for nothing then a company placing fraud alerts on your credit report for you. I know which one I choose.

    You can legally own lock picks, crow bars, cutting torches, plasma cutters, bolt cutters, hammers, wrenches, etc in WA State. Hell, the day I got my DUI, I had lock picks in my car, and the police didn't say anything about it. (and I got my car searched for weapons, drugs, and alcohol).

    You are fully allowed to have "burglary tools", you just can't use them to commit a crime. Similar to how I can have a knife on my person whenever I want, I just can't assault people with it without justifiable cause. I can own as many firearms as I want, so long as I don't assault anybody without justifiable cause.

  15. Re:Well, except for the part... on Stanford Robot Car Capable of Slide Parking · · Score: 1

    Anybody who has a minute of winter driving or gravel experience has an idea on how to regain control of a sliding vehicle.

    1. Do the opposite of the throttle of what you were doing immediately prior to the slide. (If you were accelerating, let off of the accelerator and lightly apply your brakes; if you were braking, stop doing it, and keep your engine above a slight idle.)

    2. Steer in the opposite direction of the slide, (I.E. where you want to go).

    3. If necessary, shift into neutral, (NOT REVERSE OR PARK).

    4, Do not panic. If recovery is done properly, the most that will happen is you'll be in a hair raising situation for a couple of seconds before regaining control of the vehicle before wither continuing on your way, or coming to a non-collision stop.

    Most "out of control" situations are caused by driver error, and not an actual mechanical failure of the vehicle systems. Yes, a "stuck throttle" is very rare, but losing all nethods of control is pretty much not going to happen. Failure of brakes, steering, and acceleration all at the same time in the same vehicle will almost never happen. If it does, about the only chance you have at that point is to either jump, or hang on for the ride.

  16. Re:Well, except for the part... on Stanford Robot Car Capable of Slide Parking · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Car goes "out of control".

    1. Apply steady brake pressure, (DON'T PUMP).

    2. If power assisted brakes are not responding, use manual ("emergency" brake). Apply steady pressure.

    3. Downshift to slow your vehicle. Use the transmission against the engine.

    4. Shift into neutral. You may blow up your engine via over-revving it, but it's better then losing your own life.

    5. Turn off engine to "OFF position or "ACC". Do not lock the steering wheel or remove the keys from the ignition. You will lose power assist, but you will be able to stop the vehicle. (it will just be difficult to control the vehicle, but it can be done even at 65MPH).

    6. Head for the guard rail, and steer into it. You will eventually stop.
