I've noticed some driving schools are teaching really weird things lately, like "right of way" means the person entering the highway on the right has the right of way, which is not true at all.

Well that just, like, your opinion man.

It is in some states, not in others. But everywhere it is the accepted convention. People aren't required to follow it everywhere.

Sure they're being unsafe. But instead of making it worse and increasing the accident potential, you could move over and actually reduce the chance of incident.

Because it's traffic law.

With a long enough head start, it doesn't matter how many horsepower you have. It wasn't the Jeep that was pathetic, it was the driver who couldn't properly judge the distance.

No, it's not hard on your car to change lanes. It's a car not a teacup. And if you can't handle looking around you once in a while, you shouldn't be driving.

If you're actively passing them yes. Once you are past the cars, move back into the right lane. Regardless of your speed.

Yep, clothing and fashion entrepreneur. Wacky and original fabrics and designs. Has a cult following and a lot of celebrities have picked up wearing his stuff. Hard work, intelligence and finding the right niche is how he earned his money.

It's certainly a double edged sword. I find the history of the Native Americans fascinating because they followed a totally different technological path than Europeans, yet had some stuff right Europe didn't figure out for a long time. (Bathing, for instance) They had a civilization that had trade routes from coast to…

Well sure, to us plebes it's a multimillion dollar complex housing his collection. But to him, it's a shed.

Not likely this car will experience any revolutions. It will probably sit in a shed.

I agree with you. That's basically the point I was trying to make. Neither banning, nor unregulated acceptance of fracking practices are good options.

I agree with you totally. Heartclick for that. :D

Every corporation will try to do everything as cheaply as possible. Corporations exist to make profits. Without the profit incentive, I can't think of many companies that would be willing to make a product and you'd have a hard time pitching an idea to investors that doesn't generate it.

Ultimately it's data that matters, not opinions. It's "safe" as any industrial process is, with potential for destruction if done improperly. That holds true of almost every thing we consume. Off the top of my head, nuclear power, chemical plants like Union Carbide, the list goes on and on of bad things that have…

I've worked in the Barnett Shale for two years as an engineer drilling oil and gas wells. The market is absolutely huge and the Barnett is the worlds largest producing natural gas field. It supports the economy of northern Texas and southern Oklahoma massively, employing more people than any other employer in the DFW…

I guess this one somehow dressed up as an azalea bush during the Great Shrubbery Census of 19-who cares? Because we have such a complete catalog of world-wide bushes that it's not conceivable there may be another wild bush anywhere. And what they have done is spend $200,000 dollars to remove everything special about…

I like the thoughts and implementation.

I wouldn't call it modelling, but she's let me snap a few...er... underhood photos. Don't tell her I let you see them.
