  1. I sure did. Explains a lot I was unaware of, even tho' I was born and raised in the 51'st State 555
  2. And what "system" would this be ? The only system this young lady needed was instruction on how to operate a motorcycle on public roads. Did she receive that ? Doubtful Was she ever told to wear protective gear, stay off her fone ? Doubtful 2.0
  3. Reading moronic topic titles on public internet forums Next worse is clicking on those same titles and reading the posts.
  4. Ancient ? Less than 2000 years. And nothing but a brainwashing tool when first written - do as I say, not as I do. Gotta keep those pesky little people in line ! 555 Wonder what it says about ongoing pedophiles ?
  5. Change all the rubber hoses too.
  6. Caterpillar tried this with the C15 ... failure. Everyone I know that ran the stock setup switched to single turbo. "Advanced Technology ... " 555
  7. Wears pants in the daytime - and a dress at night 555
  8. Another Brit one - from the days of Wooden ships and Iron men. "Let the Cat out of the Bag" The first origin story claims the phrase refers to the cat o’ nine tails, a whipping device infamously used by the Royal Navy as an instrument of punishment aboard its ships. The whip’s nine knotted cords could scratch an undisciplined sailor’s back badly, hence its feline nickname. The bag comes into play because the cat, being made of leather, had to be kept in a sack to protect it from drying out in the salty sea air and keep it flexible. Removing a whip from a sack doesn’t immediately seem to have anything to do with revealing a secret (that the lash was onboard the ship and would be readily used shouldn’t have been a secret to any sailor), but if you think of “letting the cat out of the bag” as a revelation that results in a punishment, it makes a little more sense.

  9. Blackmores total ripoff. Boots the same. 1000 Mg Vit C 570 THB for 100 Matell.co.th 79 THB for 50. Made with Acerola cherrys from Japan
  10. Well, ... that explains a lot
  11. Hear Hear And hazard a guess that they were mostly white-picket-fence, law abiding, 25 years and a gold watch 'citizens'
  12. 13 hours ago, Walker88 said: ancient Greeks who believed tattoos were a sin against the gods for defiling the beauty the gods gave a person. I know something else the Ancient Greeks were famous for. Hazard a guess as to what it is ? And it is still going on, and many people Whine and Snivel and Moan about it to this day. I fail to see the relevance. Do what you want - let others do the same.
  13. If I said topics like this are useless, that was started by you, what would be your response. ? And if you really believe your opinion matters to those that have, or will have tattoos - you are sadly mistaken. Want a tat - get one. Don't want a tat - don't get one Yours is one opinion of billions.
  14. Substitute "The World" for "Thailand" and I would agree. Why single out this country ?
  15. Don't know if he is still around, and if he is if still working. Darrell - you can get his number from the Richco HD dealer I believe. Top notch work. Did my back piece and a few on upper arms and shoulders
  16. Grip the steering wheel with both hands, look out the windshield and the mirrors. No need for all the other garbage. ABS braking excepted. Know why people have accidents - they do not pay attention. Know why people buy cars that have all the other garbage - auto windshield wipers ? Because they are too GD lazy to drive the car, much rather be on FB
  17. The search for Q Vice All I can say is ... WOW
  18. Hogwash Only education will have a significant impact. As in ALL causes of death https://ourworldindata.org/causes-of-death
  19. Hear Hear Tell that to many posters on this forum and you will be met with derision, condensation, and 12 year olds (mentally at least) unable to form an argument to add to the discussion but instead fall back on a diagram I made when I was a child. Examples - I am from the Chinese Gov't and I am here to help you. Computers will run the world as they are superior to people. Buy a Tesla - and pay over$200 for a chunk of plastic purported to be a door handle. Today 10 year old computer controlled vehicles are being scrapped because the repair cost is more than the car is worth. Planned obsolescence at its finest. People are Sheeple
  20. 737 Max a very good example. Boeing did not even tell pilots the system was there, let alone how - and if - it could be disabled. Why ? So they could sell more aircraft by not having pilots get type certified - the old cert would do. The whole bunch of them should be in jail for life for the amount of people they killed.
  21. Computers doing the driving - don't make me laugh. People after 100 years still - for the most part - are clueless as to what to do. They will NEVER be quick enuf, smart enuf, to replace human drivers. Here is a scenario - you are driving alone in your computer controlled whatever. A small kid darts out on the road. If you swerve you will crash and die. How does the computer react - save the kid or save the owner of the car ? In 50 years maybe - if there is precedence given by world gov'ts to upgrade all the infrastructure need to allow them to operate on public roads, insurance companies are onboard to decide fault when - not IF - the systems fail, and the public is willing to buy them. No matter how smart they are, there will be accidents, potentially many, and fatalities. Who will be found at fault ? https://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2017/self-driving-cars-technology-risks-possibilities/
