and much like Great Britain of the late 1700's which led to the convening
of the first continental congress, we are quickly coming to a point where
action will be necessary to reverse this condition and restore our rightful
place as free men and not slaves, because that is what the federal
government seeks to turn us into - SLAVES
The British government instituted the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts
as a way for the colonies to pay for their "fair share" of the costs of
maintaining the British Empire, we suffer under these same sentiments
and conditions as our rulers seek to increasingly burden the most productive
among us with confiscatory taxation and onerous regulation to pay for the
maintenance of the least productive among us under the guise of fairness.
I am calling on our so-called representatives to pledge the following
1 -We will not offer or sign onto any legislation that raises taxes, alters tax
rates, creates new taxes, raises fees, creates new fees or any scheme or
plan to increase monies flowing into the federal government from the
citizens, businesses and corporations of the United States wherever they
may reside.
2 - We will not offer or sign onto any legislation that creates and or
alters regulations, rules, codes that would impose a limit, constrain
a right, impose a duty, allocate a responsibility on any citizen, business
or corporation of the United States wherever they may reside.
3 - We will not offer or sign onto any legislation that would result in
the full implementation of the "Affordable Care Act"
4 - We will not allow to leave committee or confirm any judicial appointee
of the President of the United States.
5 - We will not offer or sign any legislation that creates any new agency, office,
czar or otherwise increases the size, scope and reach of the federal government.
This is what I want from my so-called representatives, I want them to stand
athwart these outrages and usurpations and yell - STOP!
We've made too many compromises already, signed onto too many grand bargains.
They seek to tax more and more and we compromise.
They seek to regulate and take away our liberty and we compromise.
Not again!
The line must be drawn here!
This far, no farther!
And we will make them pay for what they've done!

I am getting a Roku and a digital antenna. I need to have the antenna so I can watch for local bad weather, otherwise I would have no interest. The Roku is for watching old movies.
I am sick of news since half of it is fake and the other half just makes me upset. I am pretending there is no president.

The whole Bush lied about WMD is a fiction conjured up by mendacious leftists proffering a thesis that WMD and Iraq were conjured up out of thin air to offer a pretext to go to war with a country that had not aided with 16 UN resolutions and a 1992 war ceasefire to account for and destroy it's......

Because all the cool people are RATS. Republicans are like the British Army in the Revolution. Maintaining old-fashioned ROE while we shot the shit out of them with balls to the wall tactics. To sink to our level of war was ungentlemanly.

Earn your own dilithium unless you're willing to pay real money for a lot of shit. This may not be great advice as I stopped playing because all I did was earn dilithium.
Don't waste resources on anything until you hit the level cap. Levelling is extremely fast and you don't spend enough at any rank to use stuff beyond what you earn as mission rewards anyway.

First, never believe the mileage numbers for tires. They are bullshit. They will pro rate your next set of tires, if you want to buy some more. If not you are, you out of luck. What are you driving makes a big difference in how much you want to spend on tires.
I have a turbo Porsche, eat your hearts out, I am not going to put shitty tires on it. They run about $250 a tire and last about 12,000 miles, BUT they are made for plus 160 driving, rallies etc.
Also depends on how you drive. I am hard on tires, fast start, quick stops, high speed turns, etc. If you are not doing any of that and are not in bad weather area, get cheap tires.
That Costco tire repair etc is bull too. It only is for YOU, if your son is driving you are out of luck getting them repaired.
I've had good luck with Tire King. They replaced a set of tires on my Land Cruiser after they went bad early at no charge. If you have one in the area give them a try.

That said, it's difficult to say which is the better tire.
Price doesn't mean squat. I've paid through the nose for tires that didn't last half the length of the warranty. (and that's with proper maintenance and wheel alignments and not being a yoyo and whipping around corners at speed.)
1) find out what the manufacturer originally put on the car.
2) how's the ones now? how many miles you getting?
3) how do they drive? good in rain sometimes mean they wear faster in dry conditions.
It's a crap shoot. I've been buying tires for years but not often for the same vehicle and it varies depending on the vehicle and the driving done.
Sorry to be of little help. Best guess? keep doing what you're doing unless you believe you're spending too much or the tires don't stick for the conditions you drive in.
Posted by: Bitter Clinger and All That at December 01, 2012 03:17 PM (3E2th)
59 ....are the tires actually enough better than the cheap ones?
It depends on what kind of driving you're going to be doing on them.
For example...I wouldn't drive at 80 mph on the interstate, in 100 degree weather, on cheap tires.
If you're going to be just driving around town, at lower speeds...then you can get by just fine on the cheaper ones.

You're thinking of Thomas Paine--and it wasn't just for those two reasons. He also a colossal dick, on a personal level. He could be likeable. He could funny. However, he had too many chips on his shoulder and it eventually just seeped into his personality.
More importantly, he felt George Washington hadn't done enough to help him when he was arrested during the French Revolution and started calling him a tyrant and smearing him. That soured a ton of people on the guy.

Within limits, get the best tires you can afford. Go for a name brand (Goodyear, Michelin, Pirelli, etc., etc.) and DO NOT BUY Chinese or Korean rubber.
Mileage isn't a good indicator. They will wear differently based on the car (get the alignment checked and balance the tires!) and how good you are about keeping pressures at recommended levels. And how you drive.
My personal recommendation is to avoid "all-season" tires. They are mediocre 12 months a year. Get good summer tires and use chains if you live in a snowy area.
And don't buy a Porsche Turbo. Those suckers eat tires. I know this.

Tire Rack lets you buy from a huge selection of tires online and have them installed locally. They have reviews on the site. The prices are good but usually not spectacularly good. It's worth at least checking them out for pricing before you buy locally.

This is true, up to a point.
I was lucky that the Porsche Turbo whose tires I zinged (in a week!) was not mine, and I was not on the hook for new rubber when I took it back with little tread on the rears and flat-spots all around.

You can get 4 185/55r16 Hankook for a compact car on Discount tires direct for $395 delivered with a tire pressure sensor rebuild kit. (Honda Fit Sport)
You could then take the tires to a local place and have them fit to your rims and balanced for $100.
That's $495 total - fairer than fair in my opinion.

I would think they'd have all of the business they can handle. I'm sure not buying a new vehicle anytime soon. I had the flywheel and AC replaced in mine. I grew weary of flinching every time I turned the key. That spinning noise is awful. After that, I had to have the pan gasket replaced. No more transmission fluid leaking. This all took place within the span of three months. Hopefully, I won't have to replace anything else in the near future.

______________________
I'm saying this in a broader sense. Expensive cars tend to need expensive maintenance. They run through tires and brakes faster. That's always a given. BMWs cost an arm and a leg to do just about anything to them. Same with Audis. If you buy a Porsche, Audi, BMW, etc you will pay a lot to maintain. But it's something people oftten overlook. They drive an Accord all their lives and one day decide, yeah I can afford a BMW or a Porsche. Until the 1st oil change for $120 vs. the $18.99 Jifffy Lube oil change comes along. Or the $1000 brake job on a BMW 7 series vs $300 for an Accord. Then people suddenly understand what owning a German car is all about. And which is also why craigslist and ebay are filled with high end cars for sale by people who bought them less than a year ago.

A lighter vehicle will get by much better on junk tires than a heavy one too.
I ran a set of shitty bias-ply recaps on my old 72' VW beetle for 40k miles and abused them severely with offroad driving and 80mph in the southwest desert and they did just fine. I would not do that with a car weighing much over 2,000lb.
If you keep it under 70mph, and have the pressure on the hard side, and the vehicle isn't too heavy, internal heat buildup isn't going to be a big deal. A loaded up Explorer/Escalade at 80mph running a 25psi inflation on a hot summer day is a delamination waiting to happen.

Maaco doesn't really paint cars, they only claim to. To really paint a car, so it doesn't look like its been repainted, is a herculean undertaking. Windows/trim, headlights, tail lights, bumpers, etc all need to come off, and all the old paint needs to be sanded off down to the primer. If that shit is just masked, anyone with a sharp eye will know the car has been repainted.

Back in our younger days, sent the Mrs to get the tires put on the car. I had already gone in the afternoon before and made a deal on the tires and an appointment so it should be wham bam and down the road. The Mrs calls me at MY shop (we didn't sell tires) and says the mechanic can't let the car back on the road like it is. When I left I had another 25% off the deal and they felt like they had survived tornado.

Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.

Oldest trick in the book...they run that game on women all the time.
I had someone do the brakes/bearings on my Jetta a while ago because I just didn't feel like doing it. I was shocked when they called me over to look at the rear brakes and bearings.
Guy said "these rear brakes are fine, and these bearings are fine too, I'm just gonna repack/adjust the bearings and put the rears back together".
Could have knocked me over with a feather at that point.

Kinda' long, but here's the deal that the SCoaMF demanded of Boehner and the House, through his proxy Timmeh TurboTax this week:
A $1.6 Trillion increase in taxes over 10 years, coupled with an increase in spending by another $1 Trillion per year, added TO THE BASELINE He wants to not only have the debt ceiling increased, to pay for furthering the deficit, but also demanded that the House permanently give up its Constitutional control of the purse strings, by granting the President unlimited ability to use America's credit card -- until such time as our creditors see fit to cut us off.
This alone caused uncontrollable laughter amongst not only Republican lawmakers, but even had some members of the Democrat Caucus in stitches.
So, what olive branch did the President offer in exchange for the gift of un-Constrained power, free from the shackles of checks and balances?
He offered, wait for it...
$1 Trillion in budgetary concessions to be taken from future base line expenditures, spread over 10 years -- to begin in 10 years.
Those spending cuts will not even be true cuts, because they will be based on that enduring joke called "base line budgeting".
Think of Lucy and Charlie Brown, and you will have some idea how this has always played out in the past. (I'm still waiting on those budget cuts offered to Reagan during the "budget compromise of 1982".)
So, the JEF seeks to increase spending by an amount GREATER THAN ALL SPENDING THROUGHOUT OUR HISTORY, while stripping the House of it's lone Constitutional power.
I.DESPISE.THEM.ALL. It is going to burn, whether I want it to or not.

The date will come and go and they will make a retroactive tax cut for the 20% of people that will fall into the tax increase. 47% do not care if they go over the cliff as they do not pay any taxes now and will not in the future as they are also in the poverty bracket.

Yeah, there's a Ver-Sales in Ohio, too (Versailles).
And a Bellefontaine (pronounced Bell-fountain)
It was funny to hear the Cleveland radio station weather report pronouncing them as Ver-sigh and Bell-fon-taine.
And in Ohio, it's Lye-ma, not Leema (as in Peru, spelled Lima).

Lil Guy: Those eyes aw weawwy cwear, can you hold me so I see hew teef ?
I was gettin tired of holding his fat lil ass in the air, at this point, but I let him check her teeth.
Lil Guy: Hew teef awn't wown at all, could I see her twat?
At this point, I lost it. I carried him around to the rear end of the mare, and stuck his head into the nether regions of the mare. Sick S.O.B. And held him there for quite a while. Then I dropped him, tellin him he was a very sick individual.

French names are bastardzied all over the place in America. Terre Haute, Des Moines, Des Plaines, Detroit....on and on. Yet Spanish names are for the most part pronounced as they should be. Posted by: Mr. Moo Moo at December 01, 2012 09:03 PM (HDgX3)
Perhaps that's because not enough French emigrated to the US to insist on correct pronounication. The fur traders and missionaries who founded the outposts you named were not followed by settlers from the mother country. While I know a few people of French Canadian descent here in Wisconsin, Americans of French descent appear to be concentrated in New England, particularly Maine, and Louisiana. It just struck me that the French people as a whole appear to have been stay-at-homes compared to other European peoples, even when conditions got pretty crappy in France. Algeria was an exception - and things did not turn out so well for the colonists there, did they?

There were some changes earlier this year. Apparently there were some issues with grandfathering or something like that.
Some of the continuing education requirements were loosened a bit too. They were pretty onerous previously.
They really should do away with local cert and just do everything state wide. There's a huge duplication of effort there, but it will never happen.
Localities see it as a revenue source. I know guys who don't even bother bidding on jobs outside Palm Beach because to get licensed in Dade or Broward because its too expensive for the occasional job.

When you realize that English is considered a watered down Germanic language, you tend to lose the proscribed stereotype.
American English is a much more watered down version of British English, with bits and pieces of just about every other language.

Talliaferro Co. (TOLL-iver) Posted by: Dr. Varno at December 01, 2012 09:25 PM (LMPgk)
David Hackett Fischer, the author of "Albion's Seed" (a really fascinating book about the 4 British "folkways" which set the template for much of American history - the New England Puritans, the Virginia cavaliers, the Quakers of PA, and the backcountry Scots-Irish) wrote that Talliaferro was an Italian adventurer who - improbably - ended up in colonial Virginia. The Virginians accepted him into high society but could not for the life of them pronounce his name correctly. So Talliferro, pronounced with a Tidewater accent, became Toll-iver. That's undoubtably what happened to all the French place-names as well - the dominant Anglo-Saxons butchered the pronounciations and the mispronounced names became the official ones.

Considering the fact that many of the first-ish settlers were originally Gaelic speaking ( Scots/ Irish / Welsh etc) the American language has a Celtic rhythm to it, as does most of Country music.
I read a book about the DNA content of Great Britain, before the muzzie invasion, something like 80% were of Celtic origin, not Viking, Saxon or Norman.

That's your hash. It generally refers to your IP and is one of the ways people can tell who is using which sock. It's also a way to target when the ban-hammer spools up. Some people have dynamic IPs so their hash changes frequently while others have had the same one for years. Trolls often use proxies so that when one hash is targeted for banning they can quickly move to another.

This is the IP adress generated by your (ack..blanking on term for little box that brings internet into house and plugs into computer) so doesn't have anything to do with accounts or anything like that. If you have a wi-fi device and post from McDonalds you'd have a different hash than using that same device at home.

My favorite is a street in Franklin, our county seat. It runs into a copy of a certain arch in Paris, only smaller. It was put up right after WWI.
The name of the street?
Champ Ulysses. I am not making that up.
I think some farm boys from Johnson country went over to france during the great War, and when they came back they wanted a street like that beautiful one in Gay Paree.
So, there you go. Champ Ulysses.

Ah, got it. I don't try to change either but have had several hashes over the couple years of commenting due to power outages and the like. There's supposed to be a way to Google the hash along with ".minx" to figure out what socks are used by that hash but I don't understand it well enough to generally succeed.
