I can find Gen 1&2 clean enough save for brittle valances & fenders, various blocks, and SIs that have been riced out. In Phoenix. Craigslist usually has 3-4. I can always get a roller and an Acura donor for engine/ecm.
Fox bodies are repellent, and they get rotten inside in the desert. But the 5.0 is a champ, my 00 Explorer V8 just runs.
Personally I'd prefer to mess with a 65 Nova or Mustang, or maybe an 04 Ralliart... Those I know.
- Honda CRX, $1500 - Initial fixes, $1000-2000 - Improvements such as clutch, suspension, intake/fuel, $1200-2000 - Cosmetics, $200-$500 - Tires and wheels, $1000-3000 - Additional tools, $500-2000
Total, $5,400-$11,000.
Try this with a 2005 Impala SS, similar money. Jeep CJ, similar with a higher max. Classic US muscle car, double the top figure maybe. Mangle your existing daily driver, plan on being close to he bottom unless you've chosen something without many options, and you've just chosen the equivalent of a $500 gaming rig, never really that much fun. Cost of tires to learn to drive quick, priceless.
Total, $1,200-2,950. A lathe would be the next investment. Cost of lumber to learn proficiency, priceless.
Both requiring similar amounts of space dedicated to the hobby... More than gaming.
Maybe you'd prefer to take up elk or deer hunting?
- Big game rifle, $500-1800 - Scope, $150-700 - Ammo for practice, $250-450 - Ammo for hunting, $150-450 - Cold weather gear, $300-1000 - Travel expenses for a weekend hunt, $200-1500 - Assumes you already posses a vehicle. Cost of trips to learn proficiency, priceless. Actually killing an animal, superlative.
Total: $1350-4400
Bowhunting expenses would be similar.
Or maybe you would, as I do, prefer flyfishing?
- Trout rod, $75-$500 - Reel, $35-200 - Backing and floating line, $40-100 - Spare spool, Backing and sinking line, $65-150 - Basic fly collection, $45-200 (an ongoing expense) - Waders, $45-250 - Vest or jacket, $25-200 - Tackle, boxes, accessories, $100-500 - Travel expenses for weekend trip, $200-1800
Total: $620-3700 (Can be cheap). Cost to learn proficiency, priceless. Actually catching a fish, immaterial A day fishing is a good day, catching a fish is a GREAT day.
Hunting and fishing also requires physical exertion and time from home.
You could get into metal working, but plan on adding a zero to the woodworking hobby to approach the same level. Welding requires not just space, but careful examination of your homeowner's insurance coverage...
I see decent gaming rigs built from $500-1500, and all-out rigs topping $2500. Seems like an affordable hobby, and the added benefit of having a functional PC for all those other uses. If there's a notebook game rig that doesn't burn the graphic chip and your thighs, you got yourself a hobby that can be indulged on a cross-country flight, maybe, if inflight WiFi latency doesn't make you dead. I'm jaded, of course, since everything is either a twitch game, tedious leveling and learning the story, or IGP.
On Prism, it banners and sounds an alarm on the channel your watching. Change and the other channels also have the banner and alarm. People who have premium channels I don't tell me they get the warnings.
Around here, they commandeer the cable systems to deliver emergency notifications, and this then imposes these warnings on every channel. Even the ones you aren't subscribed to.
The government isn't going to let you escape their control until you make them.
- when I'm driving to and from work. Radio? Not when I'm listening to streaming whatever.
Sadly, while my government will rely upon emergency service to justify the exemption, they will use it for every purpose. And if Hillary becomes President, be sure, certain beyond doubt, my government will use this to threaten and intimidate me, to justify its' expansion, to market itself to me, and to engage me solely to improve its surveillance of me and everyone connected to me.
It will not do any of this for my benefit, or to my advantage, because my government, when it exceed the minimum necessary functions a federal government should perform, does nothing that brings any benefit to me.
No. Beyond the minimum necessary functions, federal government is of no advantage or benefit to citizens. Everything beyond these minimum necessary functions should be performed by state or local government, or by the people.
I get this download offered a lot when I'm on dodgy file sites. I never trust these anyways, and a moment's research on Google brings up lots of complaints.
But I'm there, on this dodgy site, and I expect they will try to fling poo at my machine. So I have always avoided it.
And having a Windows machine, everything wants to infect it, even Windows Update.
It looks, upon casual examination, that the max bitcoins (roughly halfing every 210k blocks) is about 21 million. We know of about 14.5+ million minted, and it will likely take until 2033 to get near 20.75 million, unless some massive (2 orders of magnitude) increase in mining activity occurs, given the current mining growth predictions.
Maybe someone will go to work trying to reclaim lost coins. That's an interesting proposition.
Technically, not all possible coins will be minted, due to rounding issues. Before that point, since mining will have long since ceased to be productive for finding new coins, and transaction fees will need to sustain the work. I would expect that before then either miners will executing cycles for coins, and focus on transaction fees, or a cartel will in fact overcome the community and rule Bitcoin, setting fees and crushing competition until everyone gives up.
I don't see a future for blockchain currency, which is why I'm working on a blockchain application that uses it for transaction security, which seems to be a valid use case. But
Ha. Active countermeasures are the only useful response. Break lock on the incoming missiles, force them to guns. You really don't care if they shoot if you can avoid the incoming.
And advantage AI. Proximity maneuvering and even marginal countermeasures can avoid an AIM-9, maybe. Not that I'd bank on that, but if it's an AI pilot I might let 'them' take the chance. Absolute denial via countermeasures hasn't been the goal since the mid 70s. You only have to fool them a little at the right time, to survive and reengage.
Let the B-52s launch Harpy/Harop/Delilah/Cutlass outside of LOS, out of reach. Or off ships, where they can also defend.
We re not far from a theater where there are so many devices in action you can't tell which is what threat, and a bogey can be a ship-killer, AAM, AGM, anything. Or all three.
Then the solution is to EMP or air nuke blast them to literally clear the air. Collateral damage means holding troops back until the environment is safe, which hopefully is measured in hours or days... Unless you don't care about your troops.
Seems from the article that they could deploy an AI only 70% as effective and still prevail.
But more usefully;
- Refit older craft with AI. Use them as clutter to occupy the enemy. No pilot losses makes this a cost benefit equation easier to solve.
- If your scenario is CAP, use these AI drones to draw the enemy away from your ground attack craft. Troops will thank their AI overlords.
- Since your AI drones are pulling 10+ Gs regularly, the enemy will figure out they are fakes and go find the flesh and blood pilots.
- And your AI will shoot them in the butt.
There are downsides to capable remote piloting in air-to-air combat. If AI is indeed that much better, sooner or later the fight will be between little tiny AI fighters buzzing each other crazy. Human pilots will be in Vegas or Riyadh or Weisbaden or Lakenheath or Okinawa remoting the more capable craft. And winning an air battle will best be accomplished by bombing the C&C site. Oooh, civilian casualties. Real war again.
But if you trade cars every 3 months, and the burglary occurred a day after you traded for it, that makes it potentially a bit complicated.
And of course, you bought it used, so do we want to try and figure out whether the previous owner was responsible? Oh, wait, we don't know who they are, because there are no records. But even if they were, continue...
And, to complete the scenario, because you weren't paying attention to the known flaw in the keyless entry, someone has been driving your car off and on when you were asleep/drunk/working, and you don't know. Hell, once they drove it around WHILE YOU WERE IN THE CAR AND NO ONE COULD TELL BECAUSE THEY WERE DRIVING AN EXACT COPY.
Your garage door isn't an impediment. The crooks can throw dice to choose which way to defeat that layer of security.
Between DHCP and WiFi hijacking, MAC spoofing and general tomfoolery, IP addresses are mostly useless for figuring out who did what. The copyright holders should give up now, or serialize every single copy of everything. Ha.
...is deny it access to my contacts. And fight the fight over and over, because they won't take 'no' for an answer for very long.
Along with some other privacy settings I keep having to remake. It's relentless, almost as bad as dealing with the U.S. Government.
And yes, I reinstall FB occasionally on my Android devices, giving them an opportunity to sneak in those settings again. I notice they've moved the 'Most Recent' choice of listings further and further down the line, trying to convince me to accept their idea of what I'm most interested at the moment. And they are wrong.

By your logic, Paul Revere sounded the alarm throughout Massachusetts...

Free as in electricity to run your average PC.
And fees are pretty much required to get your transaction processed.
You get out much?
Since her boss, our President, endorsed her candidacy, it should have been obvious her conduct would not be referred for criminal charges.
And even if it were, her boss would probably not permit the Attorney General to actually seek an indictment.
The fix was in years ago, even before the second Bush presidency.
Yes. Point #2 was in error.
There were never any free bitcoins, just cheaper ones.
And if you weren't in on the ground floor, yes, you missed the easy money. Now mining is only an exercise in value speculation.
