I just wish it was slightly less cynical than pulling up the email from last year and changing 2014 to 2015, then sending it out. But dont worry, the CEO will get a big payrise!

Darchangel posted:Sonic Electronics has the Polk db651s for $65. I was shocked when I saw that with PP and Streamstream too. Maxxsonics owns Hifonics (along with Crunch, MB Quart, and Autotek), so I'd look at it as a budget brand now. I haven't had any complaints about my Crunch amp, but I know it's made in China, and know it doesn't put out anywhere remotely close to what it claims.  more through Crutchfield, but that's with shipping and with the adapter pigtails, and they don't charge sales tax in TX. Amazon only stocks the marine version and the shallow version, so that was out (plus they charge sales tax, which would have brought it up a bit more). I'd forgotten about Sonic, I'll probably do my next order through them. When I order components I plan to get something a bit higher end than the Reference or Prime line; I like how Infinitys sound, wasn't real happy with my last set of Fosgate speakers.Thankfully I don't need a mounting kit for the speakers, and even the non-shallow speakers will fit - though I will need to drill a couple of holes since GM is a special snowflake with their mounting pattern. My sub is also a Polk (DXi 12", single voice coil), I've been very happy with it. It's held up to a shitload of abuse and just keeps on pounding. meatpimp posted:Now that I have some quiet time in the car, I find myself listening to NPR. It's weird.

I got to watch a cyclist get nailed by a cop with a laser this morning for speeding and overtaking me on a solid white line. I giggled. Wonder what kind of penalty he cops?

Oh my, he crossed a solid white line and was speeding a little bit? what a menace. Yesterday I found a really awesome road, and it had a 25mph speed limit. I saw 40 a few times, and looked down to see 25 exiting a corner marked 10mph. On a bicycle.  I think I was even speeding before I stopped to take this picture.

Well, my main issue with an automatic for work is I sit in traffic... a lot. I can modulate a clutch and time my shifts to where clutch wear is pretty minimal, whereas an automatic is going to be shifting between 1 and 2 constantly when I'm in traffic. I mean yeah, my left leg is about double the size of my right leg from all the clutch work....

I don't know where I'll be staying but I'll be working at the MD Anderson hospital. http://www.tasteoftexas.com/visit-us/ A local recommended this restaurant to me last time I was there and it was out loving standing. Not sure if other locals would agree but I ate so much I felt like I couldn't bend to sit in the car afterwards. Says it's 16 miles or 25 minutes away, I'd say it's worth the drive.

How would it know that you don't have any identifiable details when it makes the decision based on whether or not to take the picture based upon radar or induction information. The only speed camera systems which require a number plate are those used for average speed enforcement, as a reference needs to be used by multiple cameras to calculate travel time.

So... Deadpool. Worth it for the Stan Lee cameo alone. I wont give it 10 for being perfect because it's not. It gets 10 for loving nailing Deadpool as a character and absolutly exceeding expectations on a clearly limited budget. Any problems Deadpool has really come down to Fox didnt give em enough cash - but the movie is self aware of that and turns it into a great running gag. That self awareness and willingness to even draw attention to it's own flaws was perfectly done. It earns the R-Rating big time and it looks like they cut a few things that were too harsh even for that. Again, referenced and turned into a gag. It's got about as much fat on it as Ryan Reynold's abs - very fast paced and to be honest could have done with another 10 minutes. Credits are hysterical, stick around to the end of them. And holy poo poo, it's hilarious. Absolute machine gun it just never lets up hysterical.

My apologies, I thought it was implied that the camera knew cyclists were cyclists due to either smaller radar signature, smaller/nonexistent induction currents, or lack of reflectivity (for LIDAR)

Mitragyna speciosa also known as ketum,kratom and kratumum,[2] is a tropical deciduous and evergreen tree in the coffee family (Rubiaceae) native to Southeast Asia in the Indochina and Malaysia floristic regions. Kratom behaves as a μ-opioid receptor agonist like morphine[5] and is used in the management of chronic pain, as well as recreationally.[6] Kratom use is not detected by typical drug screening tests, but its metabolites can be detected by more specialized testing.
