It wasn’t just ‘his ride’ though. He got into a ride with a bunch of friends and they kept going after he got out. It was like a 40 min drive with the surge price included. I agree it was a ridiculous amount of money, however you have ample opportunity to opt out and wait for a taxi (for hours) rather than pay.

Hrmmm - from my perspective (admittadly small) it seems that Russia used this as an excuse to deploy their new toy.
Whatever I find laying around....
I’ve used them twice with success - second time was on a seat bolt on my truck - through the frame and rusted in place - EZ out got it out after every attempt at using the actual bolt head only suceeded in making a nice round stud. (side note - bolt extrators may work if you use them before the bolt has already turned…
If you are lucky and your engine turns to the left (driver side) you can pop a breaker bar on the nut and wedge it - then crank the engine (with the plugs wires off)... instant loose nut :)
WD-40 works wonders....
What makes it real world - You can’t stop someone from changing - but that doesn’t mean you have to like the change. And that does mean sometimes people break up. I don’t find what Archie is saying invalid here - if he doesn’t like the ‘new’ Betty then the relationship isn’t going to work out. This does happen in the…
Better answer - not possible as we understand physics today. I find with science (physics in particular) just saying ‘no’ is a bit of a stretch - we ‘know’ that there are gaps in our ability to understand everything - and while the likelyhood of this being possible is not high - there is always a chance we are missing…
Yes I know that they had it in Diablo 2 - my sarcasm meta tags must not be working :)
Funny - and here I thought if you had a separate gameplay mode that worked offline and private party only it wouldn’t affect the ‘online’ only part.
ROFL you grandfather had a pension - which couldn’t be taken away in a lawsuit (unlike a 401k) and pays him until he passes away. Pensions in every way imaginable are 10000x better than a 401k. He also had a 50/50 shot roughly of having health insurance - by the 50’s about half of the workforce did (http://content.heal…
Companies in this country make more profit now than ever before in it’s history. Productivity is at an all time high. Wages are at an all time low. There is *plenty* of room for wages to go up without triggering inflation - it’s called ‘non-historic profits’. (That means the companies would need to eat the loss).
Considering that with the cost of shipping overseas the cost increase in price tends to be 10% or less. Yes. I’ll pay an extra 3 dollars on an Iphone for it to be made safe and humane (even if that means paying ‘gasp’ American labor prices). I’d pay 5 bucks more for a manhole cover to ensure the workers have shoes.…
Not sci-fi but ... Better off Ted. That show was amazing
Alright - working on learning about differentials - I get the idea of ‘backlash’ - that’s the movement towards or away from the other gear in a gear set (2 gears - because reality the teeth can move apart or closer while the machine is moving - this is called backlash) - what I don’t get is ‘preload’ and what on earth…
Go figure - try a search on ‘rusted brake lines GM’ and then explain why having a batch of brake lines that rust out isn’t a saftey issue... I don’t understand it still :)
Why does anyone have to say something “bad” about Sarkeesian? You can dismiss her work or not like it (which is actually fine) - the biggest issue most have with the ‘gg’ crowd is that they don’t do that - they go out of their way to personally attack her.
“On October 22, Patricia was a Category one hurricane. By 8 a.m. EDT on October 23, 2015, it had been upgraded to a Category 5 and flagged as the strongest eastern north Pacific hurricane on record.”
A true failure should have multiple stop points - first the cable snapping - then breaks apply - first fall - at this point honestly the fire dept should arrive and advise you when it’s safe to exit. Assuming however the breaks fail - the second fall should be to the safety cable - then stop. At that point it’s a good…
