I think some people just like to hear explosions, once you start going deaf it won't bother you as much!. But in all seriousness sport bike riders use "loud pipes" as well because they are less restrictive, usually giving a little boost in the upper part of the rev range ("racy", "radical" powerband). People use earplugs if they don't want to go deaf.
Having been in traffic court a few too many times, let me tell you: fighting tickets is NOT what the judge is looking for. For this type of small time high volume casework they HEAVILY steer you toward making a plea and not stating your case to save time. They are usually not willing to hear people out and more punitive if you claim not guilty vs going the no contest route (what they want). I'm talking mostly about speeders, I've never been to court for a parking ticket, but I believe it may be the same court.
Well, I should have read the article. The call wasn't really anonymous, but it was submitted in evidence as such and has to be handled that way as far as the court case goes. I still maintain it should be thrown out on technicality.
Yeah, and hauling it while drunk too! The issue is how this applies to false tips made by three letter agencies (DEA especially). Perhaps the man really did run someone off the road. Perhaps the DEA had a heads up but no legal means to pursue it. He drove 100% fine after the police were following him, so he was able to. He had 30lbs of bud in his car, is it not a little suspicious he was running people off the road? The so called "parallel construction" we should all be worried about. Remember, letting this guy go hurts no one. Sending him away sets a dangerous precedent.
THANK YOU! The issue is not this woman's case, but the precedent allowing anonymous tips would allow. As an aside: Why was the woman so worried about being anonymous? She was run off the road. She didn't witness a murder.
"In physics, a quantum (plural: quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction."
From Wikipedia. So yeah I suppose they are selling a so called infrastructure that they have done the absolute minimum too.
To clarify, I pay for 50/25. I don't know if its "Quantum" or not, but it quantum sucks for streaming video. Service is being disconnected the 28th of this month.
I'm in Tampa, and my service for Netflix has gone down slowly but surely for many months. At this point during peak access it shows me video that looks akin to 240p YouTube clips. Fingers crossed that these clowns overstep their bounds and force some net neutrality legislation.
Ask your what how much? But seriously. Your problems with medical bills could be solved if you lived in a country with socialized medicine. I've met people like you, bitch about the government and taxes and "ObamaCare" while you're bankrupted by our ridiculous medical system and screwed by our low wages and jobs exported to India. Somehow, more republican stuff is the answer! If you had even read the summary you'd realize they are trying to do more with what they have by way of a private partnership anyway, not raise your taxes $2 a year (you need that money for medical bills, wah!). GTFO.
I know this is way late but:
-2 Stroke lawnmowers haven't even been common since the 60s. 4 Stroke has been king for a long, long time here.
-Modern 2 stroke can be designed with something called direct Injection, which is solid and very far from vaporware. Emissions are less than 4 strokes(!!)
People tend to vent there anger on small engines toward 2 strokes but really aside from string trimmers, weed eaters, and pole saws/chainsaws, there is very little in the way of 2 stroke use (in the US). Further, 2 stroke has a distinct power to weight advantage. Retrofitting direct injection onto existing 2strokes in places where they are dominant is a lot more environmentally sound

"EnviroFit, a non-profit corporation sponsored by Colorado State University, has developed direct injection retrofit kits for two-stroke motorcycles in a project to reduce air pollution in Southeast Asia, using technology developed by Orbital Corporation of Australia.[64] The World Health Organization says air pollution in Southeast Asia and the Pacific causes 537,000 premature deaths each year. The 100-million two-stroke taxis and motorcycles in that part of the world are a major cause.[65][66]"
The EnviroFit quote is just one example, please do check wikipedia on this one if you are curious.
Look I'm no shill of Briggs and Stratton, just trying to set the facts straight. I am, however, a big fan of old 2 stroke motorcycles like the Yamaha RDs and other cool old 2 strokes. I'd love to fit mine up with a direct injection kit, but because 2 stroke has been so successfully combined in peoples minds with pollution and smoke (for good reason admittedly, without direct injection these things are pretty dirty, but the tech isnt rocket science and has been around for decades) 2 stroke direct injection retrofits are expensive and few between. Thats because very few 2 stroke motorcycles have even been sold since the 80s here in the US. Honda has been fairly instrumental to the 2 strokes demise, as any MotoGP fan will tell you. Anyway, I'm going to save this as an early draft for the token "Ugh get rid of the 2 strokes" comments I read a lot.
If you read the article it goes into detail about said issue. Basically, the project will not itself distribute any non-free materials, but you can load your own (and people do, it seems, for full functionality). So for example you may have to use the binary blob to get your WiFi working on your phone. I wouldn't be so dismissive about the possibility of drivers being developed for certain handsets that are fully open sourced, via some stab at reverse engineering. Now as far as quality....
My point is that our food sources are not as good as food sources of the RECENT past.
today's consumer has to be more scrutinizing about the source and processing involved in their food than say our grandparents or even our parents when they were young.
Now, you probably won't die from food poisoning, but things that kill you slowly (but fairly surely if you look at a large sample) like pesticides and heavy metals are in our food chain as well.
We have the cleanest, most rigorously tested, most reliable, most nutritious,
Do we really have cleaner food (pesticides, GMO drift, soil contamination, water contamination, poor soil quality) than ever?
E. Coli from fast food tomatoes is not unheard of at all. Meat has to be cooked so carefully temperature wise largely because of factory farming. You don't hear about food contamination issues unless its as big as the Peanut Corporation of America issue years back (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_Corporation_of_America). And there is a good example of how things can go wrong despite this huge system in place to keep our food free of contaminants (in PCA's case it was salmonella). They hadn't been inspected in years. And that's the norm apparently.
US FDA inspects less than 10% of incoming foreign produce, and I don't know numbers on domestic/import produce, but at the grocery store I see mostly produce labeled from another country. I won't argue with reliable, but I feel today's consumer has to be more scrutinizing about the source and processing involved in their food than say our grandparents or even our parents when they were young.
No. Pharmaceutical grade speed was commonly prescribed in the 50s and 60s (perhaps a greater time period). It was a sort of, hey just tell the doctor you need it type thing, like allergy medicine. He checks for contraindications but basically just gives it to you. It was not known for being expensive to produce, that is NOT why we have illegal meth labs. We have illegal meth labs because getting your hands on said pharmaceutical speed these days (if you use stronger product than the average ADD medicine) is much much harder than it was before. Also, once you become a meth addict to the point that people notice it, good luck getting any kind of speed prescription, its a big liability for the doctors office.
Well, methane is a greenhouse gas more potent than C02. Also I believe its relatively clean burning itself compared to cardboard, paper, or wood scraps.

There's nothing inherently stupid about crossfit if serious soreness and kicking your own ass is what your after.

You sound like a pretty fearful person, who never lived in a big city.

Spot on sir, if I had mod points I'd +1 insightful this one. I got the same feeling reading the dissenting opinion.

Yes there was, if not by country, by state in many states.

Yeah, but EarthGP was ruined by Honda completely recently.
The USSR never did?
I was talking about in the US dude. And yeah, there are BARELY any on the road here.

Wow, you used Windows Me?

Brighter than dying of cancer, but we are dealing in hypotheticals, right?
