I've always felt this policy was a mistake. I kinda understand locking down the software, but not parts, especially when said vechicle is out of warranty. Get the parts out to DIY'ers. Don't make enemies right out of the gat

I live among the wealthy. I live in a little enclave called Marin County. I'm not one of them, just service their stuff, usually with them watching me. I'm constantly astonished over just how frugal they are. Their bodies are de

In college I felt like anything was possible. I felt the failures around be needed to just delay gratification, and work hard, because life is difficult. I looked at my classmates, and thought they were just not serious, and needed to work

I am obviously confused, as usual. I'm not used to reading these studies. I'm looking at the study. I'm looking at the #3 graph under Tables and Functions Tab. It says amitriptyline is the best drug? Isn't that an old

To those struggling with the terminology, this site helped me a bit. I wasn't familiar with Odds Ratios (OR). And I'm still confused, with a headache. https://www.students4bestevidence.net/a-beginners-guide-to-i..

I wonder which races sweat the most. I'm basically Irish, and boy do I sweat. Even when I was young and fit, I would be drenched when my co-workers/friends looked dry. My brother once asked the family doctor about his sweating. T

How about harsher regulations on the predatory businesses? Yes--I know regulations are not liked. Rent-to-own is basically extorsion. My biggest gripe is the payday loan type companies. Oh yea, federally insured banks should be required to

That's the best idea I have heard so far. Better yet, would be a law passed that outlaws photographing people without their consent, at least while at work. I heard France has strict laws that protect privacy. I've never liked my

The "f*ck you, got mine" was probally always there. It seems like it's just getting worse though. Morality/ethics used to be more noticed, and rewarded. I don't know who to blame. I sometimes think it's the l

I bought this book, and he graciously provides it online. It's put together well. I just haven't read it throughly, buy it's a keeper. I just opened the book, and happened to see a motherboard. It was a VW board, and I saw

There's a huge market out there for honest auto repair shops. I'm a former mechanic, and usually astonished at what most shops get away with. I've seen $1200 tune ups. (Six cylinder Ford Vallant, and the shop owner told my f

I've always felt if you can pass a notoriously hard Bar Examination, like the CA Bar; you should be allowed to practice law. (Maybe require a few ethics's classes, after a passing grade?)

I sent away for a Submarine (plans, and most parts) when I was six, seven, or eight. I waited by that mailbox for weeks. My mom finally told me I was robbed of $4.75. It was a learning experience. I still think about the person who set ou

Never forget being charged 14.99 for one Acetaminophen while in a hospital, and this was years ago. My father had good insurance. He went in for a spider bite. He needed to stay the night. I arrived and he thanked me for Teddy Bear, and

I find Vacuum tubes beautiful on so many levels. Whenever I repair a old device, I cringe when I put the cover back on. I always say to myself, I'm going to encase the old radio, or vibrograph (watch timing machine) in clear plastic,

I don't visit Home Depot like I used to. It's basically the cameras--that are everywhere. Along with the underpaid, miserable employees, and ever increasing monopoly prices. I really despise surveillance, but I am guilty as char

Usually the Bankruptcy Refree hires really shady resellers. Those machines will be pieced out--down to the coffee maker. Tip to those buying; find the guy in the back, barking orders at temp liquidators, with a hint of a Martinni on his bre

"If all art suddenly disappeared it wouldnt really matter." A lot of art inspires people. How many young men saw that movie about Facebook, and didn't want to become the next billionaire? Art influences the masses. Sometimes

Those older Tektronics are works of art. The boards were meant to be repaired. I still remember the feeling I got when I took the case off mine. Yes, complicated, but so much thought was put into the layout. I guess those days are over?

I wish the USA had some data-protection laws in the pipeline. But no--we just let them do as they wish. (I don't blame anyone. Just making rent here seems like the last straw. Not the best/greatest anymore?)

Yea, but many people don't have, or couldn't afford property insurance. Turn it on, and get out.

Everyone gave good advice. I think about the way Insurance companies have used these rare events to raise rates, and cringe. I think about all the people who couldn't afford property insurance, and cringe. (If it was my house, I might

I'll get hammered for this, but there are better books. I still haven't figured out if this book is a vanity project written by a bored Doctor, or a sincere attempt to convey information. I do like the Period Table though. And may

I worked as a state security guard in college. 90% plus of the shenanigans were carried off by security personnel, Insiders, and local cops. I basically watched a hugh building in San Francisco on the weekends. I only spoke up when they tri

He opened up my eyes too. He's honest, and seems like a moral person. He seems to love what he does, but we need people like him in politics. It's too bad just being honest is so rare these days.

1. Many, even the ethical, doctors prescribed opioids for pain, and misery. 2. A very small percentage of Doctors set up shop to hook their patients. 3. I just can't put all the blame on doctors. 4. People are miserable across this
