I was more thinking about the fact that the vehicle has a log that the car company can use to contradict the owner's claim.
On first thought, that sounds like an okay thing. But my car doesn't have a log that Ford can pull up wirelessly over the Internet, that says what my car has been doing.
I don't understand, in the modern world where we have complex handheld game devices, why a functional test can't be administered to detect impaired drivers.
If it couldn't be a handheld device, it could be something built into the the back seat of a squad car, or something in a police van. Sort of a virtual reality booth to detect reaction times, etc.
Stoners in a state where they shouldn't be on the road would be identified and could be processed for arrest. People with a buzz on that doesn't impair their driving could be released.
Wouldn't it make sense for you potential to live well and long to move to a region of the world where a catheter would stay in place better?
I don't mean this in a chiding way. You might have the opportunity to live a happier, healthier life in a climate like, say, Norway, with an insulin pump.
I have the paid version and ironically I just installed Malwarebytes to scan and try to root out whatever has been doing this. I also have Rhythm Software's file manager which I consider superior. It's time to toss this thing out of flash now that I know it's the culprit.
Yeah. There's no way that email could have been a settled matter in 2012. Clearly the innovation over the last four years would render a 2012 email client worthless.
And these people need to get a clue and upgrade their Windows, too.
and those of us with any sense would still rather take a bullet than live there.
The Internet has really flattened out the world, and made it tolerable, even pleasant, to live in many places that would be unlivable a few decades ago.
Twenty years ago the town I live outside of was small-town Midwest, with a few stores and everything shut down at six on weekdays. Even shorter hours on the weekends. The cultural 'connection' was a Sam Goodies outlet at the strip mall on the outskirts of town.
Today, even a nerd like me can feel connected and in touch by reaching out over electronic forums. Music by artists I like, I can order over Bandcamp. The fact that one of my favorite musical groups is based in Amsterdam doesn't block me from enjoying their latest work as it comes out.
I would probably still be in Minneapolis without the Internet allowing me to stay connected with my interests. But when I moved here from Minneapolis, I was able to sell a two bedroom town house for the same amount of money I paid for a comfortable 19th century house on Five acres here.
Most smokers do not like smoking and wish they had never started.
This is always stated as a truism, as if it doesn't need to be backed up with any evidence.
I can't stand cigarette smoke, and have family members who engage in it.
But I don't pretend my smoking wife is an addict on the level with a heroin or meth addict. She's quit smoking in the past and chose to start smoking again.
I smoke a tobacco pipe several times a week. I notice and acknowledge the nicotine craving that results from this, but I enjoy the little buzz that I get from the crave, mostly by not smoking very often at all.
Furthermore, the people who (mostly non-smokers) treat smoking like a harrowing and unbreakable habit on the same level as a heroin addiction do smokers a big misfavor: spreading the notion that it's near-impossible to quit smoking just reinforces people who would like to quit but for whatever reason lack the will-power to do it on their own. I guess spreading that notion is a profitable business for 'quit smoking' service and product providers, but it doesn't do any of the rest of us a favor to pretend it's harder than it really is to quit smoking.
That means that other people, who partially pay your health care cost, can prohibit you from having a soldering iron in your house, and can prohibit you from skiing, rock climbing, or riding a bicycle.
When we went to my sister's wedding, in the Midway district in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, we were at the church when my wife discovered she had forgotten to bring along a cigarette lighter or matches. My car also doesn't have a working cigarette lighter, so she went into a kind of a panic.
Right across the street from the church was a neighborhood corner grocery marketplace. We walked over there to get her a lighter so she could escape out of her panic state of nicotine withdrawal.
They didn't have any tobacco products for sale in the store, nor any matches or means of cigarette ignition. An entire neighborhood of mostly non-smokers. It was a major cultural shock for my wife, a lifelong Indiana native.
And I'd love the freedom to take a break every hour at work to do nothing.
We only have a few smokers where I work, and yes, they feel entitled to wander off to smoke every hour or so during the day. I've proposed a few times that there should be a drinking area out in the parking lot, and perhaps a little shed where people can go to take breaks to pick their nose.
The actuaries at private health insurers use the customers smoking/nonsmoking status as a factor in determining their insurance rate. At least the smarter insurers, the ones with the most competitive rates do.

How else can I put ROMs of every single Nintendo DS game into a R4 card?
512G would be enough, btw.
Debbie "Downer" Wasserman-Shultz, the queen of the DNC and a huge Hillary! supporter is heavily supported by Payday Loan industry.
I guess she probably will have to use Duck Duck Go.

It's possible tort reform could become an agenda item on a Trump platform. He's not a fucking lawyer like most politicians.
I saw Gawker quoted in the fricking Economist this week. It might be too late, but they still need to be reduced to a smoking hole in the ground.

So you are the dude who owes me the refund.
Really? You were just trolling and have no personal stakes beyond trolling us? How nice.
I've now deleted the paid version. I wish there was an enforcablecrefund policy, but it wasn't that expensive.

Used copies of that book are potentially tainted with bodily fluids. Nobody wants to even touch a used copy.
May as well. Hillary would just use the paper to print up food stamps, and government regulation manuals.
I'm imagining how expensive food would be in dense urban areas of the USA if there were no highways, railways or airports.
Paperbacks are $6-15 in the US.
It's all a conspiracy, by Big Oryl!

I clean and save some of the syringes for things like injecting lubricants and solvents in my workshop.

People laugh like I'm just kidding.
Which simply shows that stupidity doesn't need to be genetic to be hereditary.
