We already have plenty of schools with trained, armed security guards. Many schools, though, can’t afford to hire said armed guards. So what if teachers who so choose, go through the same training, become licensed, and are allowed to carry on school premises? How would that be a bad idea? One of the reasons school…

The middle class, nationwide, has shrunk 11% since 1971, with 4% going to the lower class and 7% going to the upper class...seems like a fair trade-off, to me. Almost twice as many of those who are no longer middle class are now rich, than poor.

It’s the math. The rear tires are 345/30-20", giving them a circumference of 88.4". With the petrol-engine redline of 8250/minute, gear-ratio of 2.73:1, you get revolutions of ~3022/minute at the rear wheels (8250/2.73) and, with 88.4" of circumference, that’s 267,142.857 inches per minute (3022*88.4), or 22,261.905…

I would say, accepting the piece you reference at face value, no. The Regera, while insanely expensive and stupid fast, also pushes the envelope of automotive tech. There is a possibility, albeit remote, that some of the technology developed for this car, subsidized by its sale price, justified by its performance, may…

Lol, Poors. Seriously, though, I live in the 7th largest city in the country, and the rent in a 2300 sq. ft. 3br/2.5ba house is $1,500. I like NY, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Every few months I get a batch of calls for “Dale Skeen” who has, apparently been approved for some payday loans.

Painted, with stickers, for F1.

A lot of those choices are the customer’s. I know the Blazer and Jimmy were a bit more hamstrung than most of Icon’s builds by budget.

Yeah, it’s just the body shell. The original car was cannibalized for a 250 GTO replica build. Jonathan just bought the body shell from that. He’s going to underpin it with a thoroughly modern chassis, and another Ferrari V12.

Generally, state by state, insurers are allowed to develop their own premium model. If they provide a discount for something, it has to be based on their model showing that class of insureds is cheaper to insure. So, generally speaking, multiple insurers have found homeowners are cheaper to insure for auto insurance.

What’s easier to say, she’s 5'6" tall, or 1.6764 meters/167.64 centimeters? And, given most Americans learned long ago 12" = 1', 5'6" is easily converted to 66".

I used to be an insurance adjuster. Had a claim where the insured’s teenage son, in a Camry, took out a beater mini-van (~$3,500 in damages), and totaled an S-Class (used, but still ~$60K in damage). Policy only provided $25K for property damage. Typically, if the damaged car’s insurance has UM/UIM, they'll take care…

My brother went off to college in Boston, from home in Arkansas, and left behind his comic collection. Now that my parents are retiring and moving, they can’t figure out what to do with it- it’s 7 of the long boxes, and weighs nearly 500 lbs. Shipping would cost a fortune, it’s too far to drive just for that, so…

Mostly true, except for, as mstrlargo said, burial expenses for whoever gets that lucky inheritance. However, getting good, long term life insurance when you’re young, even as an unattached person, is easy and cheap. If you decide to wait until later, when you’re married and a parent, you may be heavier, definitely…

Still more wins, poles, and higher best finish than Susie Wolff...

Yeah, I’ve only seen these in rental fleets. Actually, I’ve only seen one of these in the real world, and it was a rental. Enterprise gets to charge a premium for an “SUV” and only had to pay about $13 more at fleet invoice for it.

Not this year. Hyundai just took over sponsorship from GM, decided not to have a car, this year- probably to avoid the embarrassment of having an NFL player, live on TV, say, “no thanks.”

“Highly refined” peanut oil, as opposed to “cold-press” or “gourmet” peanut oil contains no peanut proteins, which is what people are allergic to. Still wouldn’t recommend someone like Ms. Herbert eating it, or anything cooked in it, but the peanut oil in cleaning products or fragrances won’t, under the vast majority…

I was hired by my law firm about a year after one woman who had come in just as we started getting a bunch of a particular kind of case. She had sort of dedicated herself to becoming our subject matter expert on them, and then I was hired, in part, to help with them because I had some previous, relevant experience.…
