Him getting all weirdly defensive about some idiot posting throw away garbage on reddit is such a tiny insecure bitch move though. Doug also posted a comment then straight up deleted it. That right there says everything you need to know.

Fermented Tinal posted:Tired? Son you need to convert to the truth and the light that is the buckling spring. Might I suggest: bruh... the Cherry MX clears are like 150% the force required to actuate a Model M switch. They actuate at 65cn and bottom out at 100. I love the clears though. They're perfect for office use because they are so quiet. There's a little bit of a ringing after the switch returns, but I'm not sure if there's a way to dampen that or not. Either way it's nowhere near as loud as some MX blues.

Demographics are only moving one way and I wonder what these people are going to do then. GM talking about wanting the EPA regulations relaxed seems extremely short sighted of them, do they think they are going to be relaxed forever? They are driving themselves right into a neo-malaise era, again. Oh look everything's suddenly changed and we didn't innovate at all oh nooooooooo *declares bankruptcy again*

GM and other OEMs aren't stupid. They'll take those credits all the way to the bank and keep on developing strategies to reduce emissions for expected future emissions requirements, as well as I guess I should say, they're all probably stupid but not THAT stupid that they just stop development work and pretend like loose standards are here to stay. Plus, it's not like they have a choice, unless they want to only sell cars in the US and also not in California, neither of which are feasible.

Let alone not a single country is going to water down their regulations and that thence ends any and all possibilty of export unless GM does an expensive re-engineer. Or sales in California if that state insists on it's own emission / economy compliance. But then again, GM is well known for being stupid and short sighted.

I dropped out of pharmacy school after a medication that's been around ever and used off label to treat gout got recognized by the FDA for its treatment of gout, revoked the generic and gave the rights to a company who then sold it for $85/tab It costs $0.01/tab to manufacture Colchicine I think was it

The objective of bills like this is to break government regulation of private insurance. Then when government run health care comes up in the future the talking point will be "we tried that, remember what a disaster Obamacare was? It only got worse when we tried to fix it!"

Cop Porn Popper posted:A basic ER admission. Bullshit. You cannot walk into an ER without a $1000+ bill. I went in in January for an Achilles tendonitis problem that I knew was going to need an MRI, I thought that the new, fancy hospital by me would have an MRI machine. It was 5:00AM on a Sunday morning. I was in, they took my vitals, saw the doctor right away who said they can't do anything, gave me a prescription for steroids and told me to follow up with an ortho place. I was in and out in 20 minutes, and they told me there was nothing they could do. Then I received a $1800 bill from the hospital and $600 from the doctor. US healthcare is a loving joke. But that's not news. Also -- Amazon is down again, this time affecting the storefront. I don't think this cloud thing is working out so well.

Speaking of the counterfeit fuel pump thing, I even put a note on my website for the walbro 255 that yes, this is a legitimate pump from a trusted distributor. If it costs under like $65 there's a good chance it's fake. The bosch 044s are all going to be over about $200 for a real one. It makes me wonder about the AEM "bosch pump." I wonder where these are coming from since they are so much cheaper http://aemelectronics.com/products/fuel-delivery/high-flow-fuel-pumps/380lph-inline-high-flow-fuel-pump

Does not need to be bolt-modded for keyswitch disassembly. All you need is a screwdriver and pliers. Metal case. Reconfigurable. Mature modding base beyond what can be done with a M.

Plus, the added members gives the insurance company more bargaining power against drug companies and hospital systems 1500quidporsche posted:Working for a health insurance company but being a foreigner most the changes being proposed are bad for health insurance companies. Obamacare was a golden goose for the insurance companies. This. With the proposed changes, it looks like they just want sick people to have insurance, but to still have the protections of the ACA. That means that insurance companies can't drop the people who would cost too much money to keep healthy, can't turn away sick people, and the healthy people don't have to pay into insurance companies if they don't want to. And if they get sick, they can't be denied coverage and get a discounted rate for joining. Insurance companies are gonna get rammed like their customers used to when there was lifetime limits and diseases that would make you uninsurable

I'm going to look at a 2008 147k mile Crown Vic tomorrow for around 2k. Anything else I should look out for, model or gotcha wise?
