  1. That a poor fitting helmet could possibly come off in an accident seems like a pretty weak excuse for not wearing one. I used to ride a bit, I hated wearing a helmet.
  2. So are you claiming the helmet likely came off in the accident?
  3. Earlier in the thread was it not pointed out the fumes were heavier than air? If so, how would they get to the battery?
  4. What about all the smoke damage on the car?
  5. I think two of the grounded plugs will generally not fit into the standard covers. One grounded and on not grounded, one grounded and one not grounded, one grounded and a switch, three not grounded, three switches, but not three grounded.
  6. I heard he was a psychiatrist in the SIS.
  7. I know that one of the things people selling finance models to is build different models generate make stock picks every day. Then, in a few years they pick whichever prediction panned out to sell their service.
  8. Well it does seem to take quite a long time to fill and it's hot. If you roll the windows down, it smells like fuel. If the staff asks me to turn it off, I turn it off. I think the fumes from the fuel is more hazardous than the exhaust.
  9. He probably wanted to have a smoke.
  10. So when I see a commercial on television offering something free, it is not a promotion, but a service. Got it. In all states as far as I am aware. Is it not true? In any event, I'm not defending states that ban abortions, I do not think abortion should be banned. So women in the states you claim have banned abortions still have access to abortions, correct? As long as that "number" is zero, it may be a fact. I do not know of any state that has a 100% ban on abortions. No doubt there are huge numbers of these pregnancies, but they are still offered free abortions and transportation to the states that promote abortions. Again, I am not anti-abortion, and I would support federal legislation that made abortion in cases of rape and incest legal. Why is legislation like this being pushed through? We heard a lot about it before the election. Now? Not so much.
  11. Kid made some bad choices and paid the price, been there, done that. Good luck young man.
  12. We have over 200 years of data from the NYSE and still no solid model.
  13. When the governor of a state goes on national televisions and offers free abortions and free travel for out-of-state women that want abortions, is it not promoting? When the Social Security advertises free wellness check-ups and flu-shots, are they not promoting them?
  14. You seem to be conflating data with projections. We have much more complete and accurate data from the financial sector, yet we have no model that will accurately predict it. With climate change, we have less data and many more variables, yet we're supposed to be absolutely certain the models are accurate. I do not doubt that the Earth is warming, nor do I doubt that human activity has an impact on that, but it the problem is CO2, why are we shutting down nuclear and hydro? Why are we compelling people to burn wood and dung when they could be burning gas?
  15. How is it a misrepresentation? You think the issue is not enough money? Who runs the big cities and virtually all the schools in the US?
  16. That looks like a good price and configuration. I had this Asus before the Acer and really liked it, but it had a motherboard issue (which had to be replaced) and later it had a charging issue (the connection). Great display and keyboard. I bought it in January of 2018 while I visiting the US and it was $799. Be advised, unless something had changed, Asus would not honor the warranty on my motherboard, which blew. Be advised, if you're friend sends something to you and you try to avoid the VAT and duty you may end up paying significantly more, and shipping will cost more than if you ship it direct.
  17. This is what I got a few months ago, the NUC is still the same price, but I paid about $50 more for the SSD and $11 more for the RAM:
  18. I'm glad he was impressed, I was not. It's okay, and I'm using it, I just don't like the keyboard. I'm not in the market for another laptop.
  19. This is probably a wind-up, but on the off-chance it's not, my advice is to quit feeling sorry for yourself, man-up and take care of your wife and child. Or do like a lot of guys here are recommending and just flush their lives down the toilet.
  20. I love cruise control and use it all the time here. I've only used "adaptive" cruise control in US rentals and you could turn it off and on, it was okay.
  21. Do you have a lot of flat tires?
