of course I did my best to keep the dust out:

The worst one I've done was when my shift lever broke off at the base and I inserted a bit driver. I drove it like that for like a week, at least 200 miles a day (pizza delivery driver), before I finally got around to heading down to the u-pull-it yard for a new assembly.

Old meme is old.

Well with Windows in particular which retails at what, $100 or so, the price of the drive is pretty inconsequential. You can get a CD/DVD drive on Newegg right now for $18.

I watch Blu-Rays (and play games) on my PS3. Since you said Computer and not PC in the title I suppose that counts? Otherwise, no. I haven't stuck a disc in my PC since like last year.

I know it's not a car or a house we're talking about, but Apple product or no, it is still worth doing some due diligence and waiting for real-world reviews and experiences before plunking down the credit card (chicken-and-egg paradox notwithstanding).

I also owned one. Great hardware for the time, and yeah, the free games thing was excellent. Especially after retailers stopped selling DC stuff.

Sounds a little overkill. Not to echo others who replied, I'd suggest a lower speed limit or higher fines based on classification of CDL vehicles. That would be any combination over 10,000GCW and any straight vehicle over 26,000.

I'm sure there are other good ways as well. Estimation is definitely one of those things you use all the time and that many people seem like they never learned.

I prefer to be a bit more generous with the tip. Drop a decimal point, round down to the next dollar and double it. That way it's always around 18-20% or so. So the $80 tab would be a $15 or 16 tip

You know Adblock is free, right?

Yes, because nobody else ever made mapping software worth using besides Google. /s

At a ship-builder, they are probably using 480, 600 or at the outside 2160V to run construction equipment in the ship. That downed power line that killed your friend could have been running 50 kV even if it was just a regular roadside wood pole. A downed power line is a very dangerous thing no matter what you're…

You'd get calls of bias for doing that as well, just from a different group.

Are they still the only one selling a 90" model? They were last time I checked.

Most Cell towers are built with an on-site genset and at least 36 hours of fuel. Also, you can charge your phone in the car during a blackout. If I was in a real emergency situation (hurricane, or something) I'd be looking to the wireless system first for connectivity.

This can't possibly be a gimmick.

I nominate Johnny Cash flipping the bird.

Yeah, I think more places should institute peak demand charges to punish people who waste power. Then your statement would be more valid.

Using electricity to generate heat is a terrible waste of electricity.
