Nah. Googorilla. You're welcome.

My last three major purchases. An HDTV, a PS3, an HDTV projector. All at a cost of $3000 in the past five years. It's all good enough...for me. I don't need to impress anyone but myself. I pay my bills, I don't put anything on credit except for immediate emergencies like auto repairs. My goal? To be completely debt…

That is correct.

Wrong! At least here in the USA. The left hand is the front brake, which is essential as well, but still...

The right hand brake on a motorcycle is for the front brake. The left is the clutch. The right foot brake is for the rear.

Well, it was also for motorcycles. Using your right arm would not make sense as you couldn't control your speed with your hand removed from the throttle.

I used to work IT for a city government. I supported the local police officers' technology. It was common knowledge that sometimes a badge can make for a power-tripping ass. Most of the guys were normal everyday people who simply had a job as a police officer. They were respectful and always willing to share a story…

Shark week rocks. It's all about education. We (humans) are slaughtering on the order of 100 million sharks every year. It's ridiculous.

No new Market here yet either. Droid Incredible on Verizon.

I hear ya. That's functional. A ridiculous leather accoutrement? Tartar sauce. Maybe they should also dress it up with some hardwood.

Yeah...leather...on a bike. That makes perfect sense. For when you want that opulence to ooze from every pore. I don't see any benefit aside from the fact you could continue to ride with a flat on each end.

you had me at "...but unplggd"

That's why I hearted you a long while ago. Good to see you're still throwing curve balls. *smack*

I rock Carver equipment too. Nice to see a fellow rocker.

Currently working for the city government. I am one of the liaisons between the Army Corps of Engineers and the people who need to know what's going on around here. I take a local river reading every day and pass it along to the Corps. Our water and wastewater plants now have levees up to 1013' MSL which protect our…

A TV is almost a necessary luxury when attempting to entertain a 5-year-old. Yes, I feel fortunate to have a job. And blessed to have found one that allows me to pay my creditors and provides me opportune technical challenges in my field of choice. But it is a meager existence when fighting the system that is 100%…

Hey Zuck. Yeah. You! I'd be totally happy with $60,000. It would pay off all of my student loans that I thought would be a great investment into my tech future. As it stands, I pay a majority of my income out every month to struggle on. A fallacy painted by all those dreamers so many years ago. Yes, I am basking in a…

OK. The flood is controlled by man, but it's nature that determines the flood. Not man. If we didn't have the dams/reservoirs, we'd have this every 5 years (roughly).

I live 10 minutes from this plant. There is no imminent danger. They are adequately prepared for an inundation of floodwater to a level that is 99% not likely to approach it.

You would love my 1992 GMC Sierra K1500. That thing cost me $6500 back in 2000 with 139,000 miles on it. I still drive it every day. 350ci engine, manual 5-speed transmission, everything is factory. I change the oil every 3-5K miles. It now has 250,000 miles on it and it runs amazingly. I've had to put some money in…
