Even if LEDs used the same amount of electricity as Incandescents, they are *still* cheaper in the long run from longevity alone. The electricity savings is just a bonus on top of the bonus of not buying new bulbs every 1,000 hours.

So T-Mobile has caught up to Google’s 2009 tech (Google Voice / Grand Central)?

And someone going around, picking them up, finding the barcode, taking a picture of the barcode somehow draws less attention?

“Eh, you get charged”

And that’s exactly what changed. Now the app tells you the exact fare when you request the Uber up front. It won’t change from that unless you specifically ask the driver (Or the app) to make a change in the route that deviates from what you originally requested.

The app warns you that changes to the trip (different destination, stops, etc) will result in changes in the fare.

As someone who had to have a piece of said “high speed metal” surgically removed from my leg I can attest to this advice.

Why would anyone be driving to Hillsboro Ohio??

Well it’s hard to say exactly for several reasons:

How bad is it to leave your device in the charger?

That is true, but the cut-off point is still very close to fully discharged and being that close to fully discharged is not good for the battery.

On most engines, the “red line” that you see on the tach is the “red line under power”. There is usually a different, much higher RPM limit when downshifting/grade braking. On an automatic transmission the computer will almost never let you exceed the higher RPM limit, so you shouldn’t have to worry about exceeding it…

I don’t disagree with you at all on that point. The left lane is for passing only regardless of speed, and *no* lane is for people to drive recklessly. Move left, pass, then move right. Regardless of speed, if everyone did that, life would go on much more smoothly.

In Texas where speed limits are mostly 75-85 (Yes, seriously, 85 mph) my 06 Duramax averages around 18 overall. In the midwest where the speed limits are mostly 55-65 I average 24 mpg. My truck has oversized tires and is tuned up to around 500 HP so that hurts me some on economy.

You are absolutely correct that merging is riskier than staying put in your lane, for the most part, and that no-one *should* be doing 20 over anyway. But that’s not the point. Driving is inherantly risky so it’s all about minimizing overall risks to yourself and vehicles around you.

If the cars in the right lane are following the rules too, then they should each be following at a distance that allows cars to merge in front of them.

No I believe I understood your point perfectly well:

Obviously if it’s a “wall” of cars to the right, then you are correct that you should keep going and get around them before moving over. He shouldn’t cut you off in the right lane to get out of someone’s way. I assumed that was a given/common sense.

Eric, honestly I would have expected you to know better on the left lane rules. It doesn’t matter if there are 2 lanes or 5 lanes, the mechanics and reasons for not camping in the left lane are the same.

It is, but when you compare it to comparable Zero Turn mowers that use an actual steering wheel instead of the two sidesticks, it’s actually a much smaller price premium. The cheapest zero turn model I can find with an actual steering wheel is $2,700, and the increased productivity and ease of maneuvering is really…
