I believe you will find none of that stuff you mention is actually free with a strict definition. According to the last time I read dumblaws.com you could still take your cattle or sheep to graze on the Boston Commons on Sunday. I should move there for six months and get me a herd of sheep and test this. I might want to wear a sandwich board that shows the law's title. Boston cops are often huge and the State cops are big AND dumb. Also, off-topic, you are supposed to carry a rifle or shotgun to church on Sunday in Portland, Maine and you are allowed to kill the natives if there are more than one on horseback according to the above site a few years ago. I think the Memorial Day parade is a good place to start. I am not going to be on horseback so I do not have to shoot myself.
There are a lot of fake liberals there. I am not saying this with political motivations. Vermont is not as liberal as people think. They are, well, slow but the quality of life is good, the policing is lax, and the weather is probably a bit tamer actually as I have been to both in the winter.
I have an interesting story about him that I probably should not share and most certainly should not share under my moniker... However...
I had a younger friend call me and ask if I had any good weed. I, of course, did. They wanted to share some "Maine Skunk" with this gentleman as he was doing a gig at Sunday River. It is a rather long drive but I meandered down and was rather kind. So this old man met Afroman and I am going to stop the story here. The first part I am absolutely positive will impact nobody other than myself (if anyone) but the rest is, most certainly, private and rather surreal. A good time was had by all, that is the important bit.
If I call him a Nazi am I invoking Godwin or telling the truth??? This is my paradox... That is not pair of docs, that is when you have two versions of the manual and no about.txt to figure out which version you have.
Half a tank? LOL I would have drained it to be on the safe side. I am like that though and have a lot invested as I am a bit of a car buff but not a mechanic (much - I hate getting my hands dirty or hurt) so I would just have it towed. AAA FTW.
Cool, I may look there (though I do not recall ever using that distro) to see where they come from and whatnot. I may then find the distro I am thinking of. Thanks. Anyone else?
Most ignore the truth and root for their team regardless. Vote third party. You are throwing your vote away BUT if enough of us do it we may get noticed. And then, to quote Guthrie, we will have a movement.
I did warn folks - even here on/. did I warn folks. No, at no time did I recommend the Republican opposition. I throw my vote away on third party candidates just because I hope they notice. They probable do not notice though.
If they had it then collision avoidance would function at that speed but NOT if the driver is mashing the accelerator pedal like they were. Pressing the gas hard disengages the automatic braking with pedestrian avoidance - it also does so when in self parking mode as a safety feature should you be getting carjacked.
I assume, and I shouldn't, that "filling up" with diesel is more than your implied "some" which will, indeed, harm the engine. I have had friends who have somehow managed to do this and the opposite (putting gasoline into a diesel) and in all but two cases they have realized the error and had the vehicle towed, drained, and returned. In the two cases that I know of, where they did not notice, catastrophic engine failure was the result. Sadly one was a beautiful old Mercedes that she had borrowed from her father-in-law because her car was in the shop. A replacement engine was too expensive for them so the vehicle was scrapped. I wish I had known they were going to scrape it. It had always been garaged so it had no rust, it was a sad time indeed.
Volvo should anticipate that the driver did not pay for a feature and then attempted to use the feature? The 'feature' in this case requires a whole DIFFERENT system with radar, a front camera, dashboard changes, and software changes... They should anticipate this and, well, do what exactly? You are not entirely to blame. The story and the summary are both wrong. They are not misleading, they are outright wrong.
Every feature? So I want three sets of tires and a sun-roof and a moon-roof. I also want leather and cloth seats, two different alarm systems, and three types of glass in the car.
Pedestrian detection is a whole other system that requires a front end camera, dashboard alterations, AND an expensive radar mounted under the front bumper. You believe, thus it must be true, that they are ethically mandated to include this several thousand dollar extra (and entirely different) system for free? You believe that the buyer should not be able to opt out of that additional, extra, expensive option and should be forced to purchase it if they only want the parking system which is just sonic and a rear facing camera?
You will need more than a couple of friends to move a 7 series BMW or an S class Mercedes. I have a factory restored 95 740IL that I drive for fun during the summer some times (I have an M3 that is much newer) and while it is plenty powerful it is also like driving a truck as far as weight goes. Hell, I think the GVW on the 740 is higher than the GVW of my old F-250 that I use to plow my driveway.

I most certainly would not normally do this but...

It reminds me of this:
"We want to rape some kids and there are people who are stopping and punishing us, take them to jail!"
I hate ads. I will give you money if you need it and you do good things with it. It is simpler and I do not get annoyed.
She will pay that after she gets tenure at the same university. It will take a little longer though.

This is /. - they would have mentioned the erection.

Excellent, thank you. It is in my book collection, somewhere... I am sure it is on a shelf too. *sighs* I need to hire an intern or something.

Was that Tetris or the Tux game though?

Yeah, I meant proper names but I was being dump/brain farting. It happens with age.

I voted for GW in the first presidential election I could vote in.
