No it's not. I choose not to vote and wouldn't appreciate being forced to do it.

this is a really stupid viewpoint, your state consistently comes in very close several races that are critically important and you do nothing to oust the bad candidates (who you appear to not support) by not participating

Lol yep.


I served my country, and I'm going to use my grownup freedoms in the country I served, and partake in non voting this year ok. Thanks for your concern tho :)

So you don't vote at all? You seemingly lack the ability to differentiate bad candidates from good because they're politicians but not all things we vote on are politicians running for office...

For better or worse, district attorneys, judges and Sheriffs are all possible elected officials but are they politicians? Debatable

What about initiatives? Your state just passed one to give felons back the vote and your yes vote would have been worth the time it took to make it known.

When it gets down to it your reasoning is a cop out and I hope you teach your son that voting does matter, because it does.

So you'd be fine with me voting for Trump I suppose. Funny how that works, I'm an idiot for not voting, but if I voted for a candidate YOU don't like I'm even worse lol.

Go ahead and think what you want I really don't care, I was just defending people like myself that chose not to vote this time :shrug:

Also I'm going to teach my son to do whatever he feels like doing and I'm not going to hold it against him either way :)

its really really funny how upset you seem about getting some crap about this viewpoint of yours

oh well i'm glad your state voted to reinstate voting rights for ex-felons, they deserve a voice.

Last month, my wife and I sold both our cars. We bought an 09 Mazda Atenza/6 Wagon for her to use with the kids. Mean while I've had a couple of grand burning a hole in my pocket to get something cheap and cheap to run for my 50km/week commute.
Yesterday I came home with this:

I'd be curious to know what it costs to construct an autoclave that large

not sure but they're gonna have a total of 3 of them eventually to achieve full production rate

the 777x wings has two spars, the largest one is a 105 foot single piece of carbon composite

the 787 uses carbon for the spars but the large spar is 3 pieces which are assembled together. also the wings are significantly smaller than 777/777x

I just got a renewal notice for the Prius that I had to give to my lazy bum of an ex-wife. This means it is still in my name and she is out I am sure often driving drunk in a car in my name registered to me. What the hell can I do? I signed the title over to her in July. This is a person who was told by the judge in December to get a job and of course she hasn’t.

you signed the title over but did you report the transfer to the state? thats how you free yourself from the liability that comes from situations like this

Reality: Two days ago I decided this job isn't worth it and have already been sending out resumes, I have zero plans on remaining here for more than the time it will take me to find another job.

E: Just got off the phone with my broker, I do have depreciation coverage and comprehensive on the Kia, because it was required for my financing, fingers crossed the car gets totalled.

Well I might as well ask in here, where should I place my left and right speakers?

I figured the center channel speaker can sit on the mantle but IDK what to do about left and right.

I could theoretically do in wall but the cost is prohibitive but I really don't want any visible wires



Maybe wall mount the speakers to the side of the TV and hide the wires behind the TV?

What's on the other side of the wall? Can you run all the way though, or into a stud cavity or something?

Or add coving and hide the cables in that.?

This is probably like asking what's the one true religion, but I need a corn bread recipe and my friends from the south insist you can't use sugar, and all the recipes I see online have sugar in them. Thoughts and/or recipes? My friend who makes very good corn bread but is from California uses sugar, but it tastes good so I may just use his recipe.

Are you actually serving it to southerners or just sticking to their rules?

^Laminate flooring can be a mixed bag in wet areas like bathrooms. Yes it's cheaper than tile but any amount of standing water left on laminate flooring can seep into the seams and cause immediate damage
