    BMW Electric Mini Leasing - Feedback

    Yeah, I read an article about a month ago involving about the Mini-E program; they were skeptical, as the program involved $800 a month from the user to be involved. Folks that have that kind of dough to participate are more or less biased. That said, I really hope this program is successful.

    Number of US Autos Declining

    The Smart car is a joke, period. A sick one at that. Do yourself a favor, Rassy, do not google the 2011 CR-Z. The concept car and idea made my heart pound. Seeing the specs and finished product is just another layer of recent disappointments I've got with the late model Hondas. Where did they...

    Number of US Autos Declining

    Let's not forget one thing: for the past twenty years, most cars (both foreign and domestic,) with a few notable & expensive exceptions, suck. Now, when it comes to getting from point A to point B, I'm pretty much a minimalist. I want something reliable, efficient, and fun. Less is more for me...

    EE is hard

    Man, you literally made me barf in my mouth. Differential Equations. Man. I used to think I was good at math. Then I took that God-forsaken class. Dude. Word. Relating to DiffEqs, when I took that class about 15 years ago it was taught in an auditorium. Not a good sign. Then the prof...

    Riding in the Flock

    Shucks, I was going to drop some witty word-play, and I see Toorbough beat me to the punch. Hopefully these dark companions are auspicious and dig your style, Zoot.

    Saw an electric skateboard in Buenos Aires last week

    Yep, that could be the model I saw. Incidentally, I saw it the Saturday before last, over by the street market at Recoleta, on that wide diagonal street that goes to Quintaña. Dude, I tip my hat to anybody that rides in anything smaller than an armored car on those streets. Be safe. If you...

    Saw an electric skateboard in Buenos Aires last week

    Saw quite a few bikes down there, couple of choppers, but no e-bikes. I am delighted to note that our neighbors to the south have e-skateboard technology. Saw a dude cruising at around 15 miles an hour, on a busy street between the Ricoleta and Ritiro barrios, on an electrically powered...

    Helmets Part 1,489,348 - To Wear Or Not To Wear

    My apologies, Deron, I had misconstrued that you were advocating that helmets were not necessary.

    debate on universal access to health care

    debate on universal access to health care

    njs- What, pointing out facts? There are reasons why that quoted statement above is 100% false. America currently produces a plurality of the world's pharma research, and will likely always produce a plurality of the worlds pharma research. The principle reason is the federal government...

    debate on universal access to health care

    What prods the government to capriciously de-regulate? It isn't the regulators, it is the agents of the free-market. You want a close look at what an unregulated market, try the derivatives trading of the past decade. Who pushed to keep regulators out, promising that the free-market would...

    debate on universal access to health care

    I'm sorry, your youtube link returned the following: Yaron Brook on Capitalism, Question 6 - Ayn Rand Institute "An error occurred, please try again later." The other appears to be a 10k word synopsis on the history of the electric grid. Thanks? Pseudo-deregulation? Was that the one that...

    debate on universal access to health care

    Interesting that Libertarians are dissing their golden-child Greenspan. This the same flavor of denial you see Republicans and conservatives dish out when they try and distance their ideologies from Bush. Look, I caught Frontline last week, the one about Brooksly Born. The one about derivative...

    DWI while driving a Lazy Boy?

    deardancer, If you do what needs to be done to your recliner, know that folks like myself will consider you an ascended being, above the laws of man and nature. The question for you is simple: hub motor or other drive system? I still can't believe he hit a parked car. I mean, BAC of 0.29 or...

    DWI while driving a Lazy Boy?

    Check this out: http://wtopnews.com/?nid=104&sid=1792014 I'm thinking 180 days is a bit steep. Sure, the dude did have a ton of booze, but he was driving a Lazyboy. I'm for rule of law and everything, but if anyone has a right to be above the law, it is a man who has built a motorized Lazyboy.

    Will you have to pay a carbon tax on your pet?

    I read on a poorly sourced blog that modern science is bogus. Ergo, my lifestyle choices have no impact on me or my descendants. When droughts & floods occur, triggering genocidal events that make Darfur look like a drive to Disneyworld, I plan on blaming Al Gore. Since he doesn't walk as...

    debate on universal access to health care

    And there in lies the rub for our conservative friends. One of the most difficult things for some folks to do is go into the 3rd person, to understand what others are facing. Almost like an Upton Sinclair quote, save for the fact that there is no money in it for them. Just a perceived loss of...

    My birthday a couple months ago sucked.

    Aww man- Sucks. We've been dealing with food reactions now for the past 9 months. The unholiest smells and dispeptic expressions imaginable. Dogs are the perfect species, save for the fact that despite their olfactory powers, they cannot tell the difference between good substantive nutrition...

    Post your Pets here!

    I don't do a good job of photographing objects that are best seen in motion (i.e. my bike or my dog.) So apropos my handicap, behold: b1zp5LGDvLs Oh, I got longer ones too. We'll hit y'all with them soon enough.

    Dogmans Balloon Fiesta Blog

    Pretty sweet. I gotta say, while I dig Vader and the Bees, that Warsteiner is making me very, very thirsty. And I've got 5 1/2 hours until quitting time. Incidentally, a buddy of mine left a couple Warsteiners in my fridge a couple nights ago. Suffice to say, I know what I'm doing in 6...

    To Save the Planet From Global Warming-Turn the Sahara Green

    My main question; $2 trillion aside, is irrigation. My area is coming out of a severe drought; over the past several summers, I've used rain barrels to collect water that I use for watering a modest-sized garden. Despite having a small house with a small roof, it has worked exceptionally well...

    STOLEN BIKES....HOW TO GET THEM BACK

    Sucks. Good luck. Only advice I have is for the future: ditto the cable lock; I've got one of those, but it is in tandem with a U-lock. I view both as keeping the honest thieves at bay. Added layer of deterrence is the registry, serial number, and to top it of: a photo of myself standing next...
