Of course it was going to happen, just like it happens to many of the non-trans men in prison.

Yup. But follow the money. Privatizing prison just made inmates a commodity.

Please, in this country it is legal to sell a any kind of novice more of whatever than they can handle. Cars, bikes, guns, and especially food.

#6 is legal. But it typically means a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) contract in which all the contractor’s allowable costs are reimbursed and the fee (profit) is added on top of that. So, that’s the trade, fix the profit line at a low level, but relieve them of financial responsibility for their performance on the…

There were flying machines before the Wrights, they just were not controllable, which was the point of the Wright’s key patent. They patented the wing warping, but then said that basically anything that changed the force produced by the airfoil was covered.

*cough*Tom Cruise*Cough*

The law I mentioned applies to both police and private property impounds. I don’t know anywhere where police would not run the registration prior to ordering the impound, if for no other reason than coming up with another charge to pile on.

I don’t know about NYC since the city runs some of their own tow trucks. However, most states have a law that requires the private towing companies to submit a report for every impounded vehicle to the state by plate and VIN. The state will provide registration information back to the towing company who must send a…

So do the trucks, they apparently want to kill you too.

I am not advocating for or against lane splitting, however...

IIRC some aviation companies have been experimenting with wing-warping again

Based on some of the other things I’ve read it would seem that the Wrights were serious patent trolls that slowed the early progress of heavier than air flight.

They just don’t want to have to come back in 20 minutes.

Yeah, that is unusual to me. In my admittedly closely controlled interactions with cops (helping train police dogs) the typical thing, if there is a gun in a closet or under a bed or just not in someone’s hands, is something like this:

We need distance based cruise control, lane monitoring, and best of all automatic parallel parking.

I don’t know. I kind of like a thumper for off-road and I personally don’t mind a carb. I think if you lean more towards a twin with fuel injection you could do just as well with an F700GS for 10K, but then you are probably 12K when you add luggage. The G650GS is still a single but with EFI and ABS. It has more…

I thought this sounded somewhat familiar...

I need help here. This isn’t a criticism rather it is an honest question. Why would I buy this when I could buy a 2015 KLR650 for about $6K (plus luggage and a just a couple of tweaks)? Weight is close to the same, horsepower is close to the same, torque is higher, and more suspension travel? The only advantage this…

I haven’t found anything else that works as well for me to load up my camping gear, ride 180mi on the highway in relative comfort and then do another 30mi on the logging roads (some no longer maintained) to get where I’m going. As for the other ~80%, I think they are great because they drive the manufacturers to…

Either way, the nominee has to eventually be approved by the Senate. Which is why Obama nominated who he did, to have a chance at getting someone through. Hillary wouldn’t nominate a real liberal to SCOTUS anyway.
