Police and prosecutors misbehave frequently enough that the entire system is cast with a light of illegitimacy. The United States Government is one of the oldest extant in the world, and this epidemic of misbehavior, corruption and perjury

If there is any wear then I think it is microscopic. I had a Green disk die after 45000 hours of spin time, over 1.5 million load cycles. I could not visually see any defects on the loading ramp with a 5x lens. I think the failure mode o

You might want to see how much of your collection is available in Library Genesis [1]. I am no authority on The Law but see no moral issue with collecting other people's scans of printed books that you own. [1] http://gen.l

I wish I knew what documents PayPal demanded. I wish I didn't have to enable JavaScript to see anything other than an empty white browser.

They can also line-haul trucks from the warehouse to a UPS hub every evening to extend their "one day delivery" reach. McMaster-Carr is one distributor that has been doing this successfully for years. I think that Amazon is alrea

I would like to say the same, because it sure sounds "convenient," but I have noticed that in most cases price comparisons work out in favor of physical stores. I know that a return trip to the shopping area of my town costs less

I think 55 Ah is a bit large for an econobox. That's about the size in my 6 cylinder volvo and my 6 cylinder pickup. I have seen quite a few small cars with batteries that look to me like they should be for a motorcycle. I have repla

Yeah, GM and Ford are hit and miss with their models. I really don't like the Malibu and the Korean products GM sells. I currently own three euro sedans and a Toyota pickup. Probably should have gotten a K1500 instead of the yota. I

I laughed a bit when I saw the collection of "Share of vehicles in operation vs. share of recalls" bargraphs. I am thinking here that where the "% recalled" bar is higher than the "% in service" for a model ye

That may be a result of low spec, "being years behind" (top European production) or designing for cost economy in mass production. I have noticed that one thing Delco does is to commission custom silicon with a view to saving mon

If you can forget the 70s and 80s, GM isn't really shit. At least not as shit as Chrysler. I held onto this 'They're Shit' opinion I formed because of their 70s/80s production, when Japan was actually beating thei

Well some engineer noticed the problem, a change order was issued to manufacturing, new production continued with no new part number was issued, so someone seemed to want to conceal this from not only the public but the rest of the enterpri

Yes! Car keys are so big nowadays, it doesn't make sense to have them on your "main" keychain. It's also bad in a crash situation, because your knee or another body part can hit this area, so having a bunch of ornament

I think you made a lot of decisions in a young person's mindset - some of them got you into the debt hole - but this one saved your life. Thinking about my acquaintances there are four kinds of people among them who carry automatic han

I didn't really like living and working in Japan, but the toilet in my flat is one of the few things that I dearly miss. I don't know why anyone would want to stick their hand in "the mess" with a flimsy layer of cheap

I take issue with the lack of positive train controls but moreso with the facts reported in the final paragraph. I was under the impression that locomotives had dead-man switches. The last paragraph implies that either the locomotive did

I thought it was illegal (in USA) to participate in the boycott against Israel. McMaster-Carr got fined for accepting po's whose terms said the product or its transportation were not to involve Israel or Israeli owned assets.

Maybe some of us aren't cut out for it? There are definitely weeks when I spend almost 80 hours at my home office computer. My family doesn't really like these periods, but I rarely get headaches and have never experienced joint

Since cannabis is well known to be mostly harmless, and much more harmless than alcohol, it seems like a good start. LSD might be in this category too. There are other ones that have value in medical, psychiatric and therapeutic settings,

What would you expect would happen to you if you made such a brazen, public display of disrespect against your executive management? Would you have your job after? They certainly could have gone on strike, when they were not on the clock.

When they expressed insubordination by turning their backs on the Mayor, that signalled to me that they have no respect for authority. This is exactly the kind of people that do not belong on a police force. I can't imagine why they

I'm not surprised if it's legal. W&M staff have a lot of control over the legal system in Virginia - they practically set Supreme Court policy, which controls lower courts too; they control the Virginia State Bar; they have a

A new petrol car that costs as much as a Tesla won't vibrate and shudder, nor will it be limited to one hundred horsepower. Nor will it have an engine block made of iron. On the hypothetical warm summer day, the Tesla will consume ele
