chemists and their made up words. I was listening to two PhD chemists trying to out nerd each other when the word "desolublized" was used. They just make the shit up. It's a source of pride with them.

LOL, "fear"... too funny. I've posted my name, address and phone number publicly and when you called me you blocked your phone number. That's fear right there Bubba- either that or I'm stupid- ( MiniD , a ruling please? am I stupid?)
But you're scared to death. I really feel bad for you... I'd hate to be so scared of life like you are.Airhead spends about as much time cowering in fear as a honey badger.

I can see that as possible.

The airport, 6 miles away, suffered damage from the blast. Those people videoing over a mile away got knocked on their ass. That was one hell of a concussion.

Actually... no. Everyone's rights end at the same place.

I had to go look up that kit:

Way too much kit for my skillz... but it's nice to know it's available to those with the gift.

I was helping my wife with a problem on her computer a few years ago. I opened up her browser and the link http://www.womenagainstfeminism.com came up.

I listed the things I'm familiar with and totally agree with the sentiment that they could be doing this across the board. I'd add that I don't know anyone who has sold to or had anything manufactured in China that wasn't copied. That's still a relatively limited perspective, but it is VERY consistent.

He's not a communist... he's a manufacturer. Anyone I know who works to source manufacturing will point to China as an example of a country that is has the best manufacturing capability period... that's without slave labor factored in. The say the US has stopped advancing in many areas of forging and molding. Assembly is something we get crushed in by labor, but the others are something we used to excel in.
What most manufactures learn about China, however, is that all of that skill also works to steal and reproduce your designs. In the semi-conductor equipment world, their audacity is legend. One manufacturer referred to an add with a Chinese factory that showed some 50 of their tools lined up. These tools sell for $3m-$5m each. Their company had not sold them a single one. These aren't tools that you can buy from anyone else... either. They even had the company's logo on them. What gets awesome is when they try to contact the actual vendor for support.
China can build virtually anything faster right now. Ignoring that is suicide.

I'm in Oregon. I could walk 4 steps and punch at least 3 Canadians. The educated ones know where to go for jobs.

The price of outboards has always been ridiculous. I had to check on those Hondas. A new 100 HP 4 stroke (BF100) will run you over $10,000. Holy fuck. That's just a guess from the single add I could find listing a price. Nearest I can tell, the pricing on these is a closely guarded secret that the internet is not willing to give up.
After ignoring google and bing and simply scouring local dealers:
https://clemensmarina.marinede…roducts/outboards/BF75EFI (BF75 - $9184)
https://clemensmarina.marinede…roducts/outboards/BF90EFI (BF90 - $9779)
https://clemensmarina.marinede…/products/outboards/BF100 (BF100 - $10,351)
And for shits and giggles:
https://clemensmarina.marinede…/products/outboards/BF250 (BF250 - $20,845)

The show is pretty chronological... so how many serial killers do you think the average detective investigates in 5 years? That you think it's something that they go out of their way to avoid is a bit more damning on the current state of writing for this genre than an indictment of this series.

Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy is released tomorrow. That should keep me busy this weekend.

Netflix picked it up after season 3. It was OK... just not quite as good.

His ads call it the trump flu... so you're wrong.

It turns out it was common practice based on a law that was created to make it easier for the state to convert blighted properties into more valuable property. The state would seize the house, sell it and then keep all of the money from the sale.
A pesky court ruled that, while they could legally seize and sell the house, they could not pass a law that entitled them to all of the profits... only to what was owed with the rest being returned to the previous owner. The state argued, get this, that it would be too costly to refund the nearly $2 billion they'd made doing this and that it would hurt schools.

Um... that's true in *some* states. In lots of states though, retailers are requiring masks despite no mask order from the state.
You *will* comply... or you won't Walmart.
Walmart will not be enforcing it anymore. Most stores that do, will be dropping it shortly. It turns out that it's difficult to enforce in any way that doesn't cost you a ton of money.
Besides... you protest a store requiring it by not going there or picketing it. You protest a state requiring it at the governor's mansion. I support both actions. I don't support getting into fights with security or in the parking lot or macing someone because they weren't wearing a face mask at a dog park. This shit is just getting old.
