I was similarly pushed when I worked at a retail store. I, too, did not like the idea of convincing someone to buy something they didn’t need. But, as the video also said, you can apply this “power” ethically... I found that I ran into a few customers who simply “weren’t sure” of how to get what they wanted. In this…

Forget arbitration, I’ve dealt with similar behavior to what you describe in the second example... in small claims court. They’re supposed to follow the law and make things “easier” and “casual” but they don’t... it’s worse than arbitration.

100% right. Snow tires FTW. And then learn how to drive in the snow via a parking lot or similar. In the case of the Mustang, learn how NOT to use the right pedal... and SLOW DOWN in the snow. You’ll get where you need to go with no issues.

I’ve had my 06 Legacy since new, 140k miles on it now, and it’s been over-stock-boost since about 30k (running 18psi vs 12psi stock), and I run WOT as often as I can. Head gaskets are fine to this day, as is the stock turbo. *knock on wood* I’d say that’s pretty darn reliable.

The buyer AND seller should also know what their state has to say about such things. Here in MA you cannot sell a used car (exceptions apply, of course) as-is at all. In fact, the law is such that the seller can get pretty screwed if they don’t know the law - I’ve heard (unsubstantiated) stories of people selling…

Totally agree. As a non-Christian, I have to say Jesus was pretty cool too... he’s just being misquoted by Christianity too often. Cool Pope is showing them a little of what it’s really supposed to be like!

Totally. Someone went a LOT too heavy with the Photoshopping blur tool on that picture... yeesh.

Same here - get through filling out all the info, then “Bummer” and “we’re having connection issues”

Totally agree. Which is why I also feel that there should be a rule (or law, though I hate extra laws) to say that a passing vehicle should pass within (for example) 30 seconds (per car that is being passed) or get the hell out of the left lane. Pacing during a pass is just idiotic assholery.

I swtiched from LM to Amica and saved a bunch as well. My credit rating is excellent (over 820 I believe). So, I’m not sure how it’s tied to the credit rating...

Sorry, didn't mean to attack you personally at all. I simply posted in response to your comment, but the reply wasn't intended directly at you, but rather to the comment itself (and people who make them vehemently).

The entire discussion really comes down to "harm" in the legal sense. How does serving a gay person "harm" you versus serving a non-gay person? The answer is that it doesn't (other than your delicate sensitivities)... and that's the point. Your feelings are not a legally valid "harm", otherwise we'd have MANY more…

It comes down to power efficiency. The real question is in turbo vs SC, which generates 707hp with the least amount of fuel? Sure, we’re not looking for fuel economy at 707hp, but the implication of the question is that the more efficient engine can be tuned higher than 707hp for the same fuel load... if desired…

“heat energy in the exhaust to spin the turbine”? I don’t think so. A turbocharger is not a heat-pump or anything like that. It uses the KINETIC energy of the exhaust gases (ie mass and velocity) to spin the turbine. This necessarily causes a reduction in exhaust velocity, which results in increased backpressure.…

I think you may be doing it wrong. I have a flat-top electric, and it's wonderful. Copper pans have no issues (some of mine have these bases). As for cleanup, water and a scrub sponge works very well for the majority of droppings. The rest, true, can be scraped or cleaned with a liquid cleaner (nothing super special -…

I'll be so happy with Ani-GIFs die the horrible death they should, and are replaced by APNG or something with more color-content. Why haven't we gotten there yet?!

This is likely a bad way to place it. If the computer case is metal (eg a desktop tower) then it’s effectively blocking signals from going left. In addition, depending on the distance, it can cause a rippling interference pattern to the right side due to reflected signal. Bottom line, move the router. Put it above the…

Darn right. My family had taken many trips in our Dodge Omni and Mercury Lynx (both compact hatchbacks) and we never had an issue with 4 people (parents, my brother, and me), even on long trips from upstate NY to NJ, DC, or Canada. Hell, my friends and I take trips on our motorcycles with FAR less luggage space than…

Correction: The app says it will work for devices running 4.0.3 or higher (ie, not just Lollipop)

Like the other poster said, you really need to read more about actual laws than what you believe. Pedestrians are quite legally allowed to walk on roads if there is no sidewalk. In fact, the law goes further to state they should walk against the direction of traffic.
