Translation: Mod me on the merits of what I've stated. Not out of a knee-jerk reaction to the fnords you've been trained to react combatively to.

Yes, just like the rap group NWA (Nigga's With Attitude). Or that the term "nigga" has been embraced by many in poorer parts of the black community. Please feel free to use that term to describe someone while in any inner city. I'm sure once you make this rational argument everything will be fine.

Actually the term "nigger" has become so offensive that just stating it is somehow offensive. Even when not using it as derogatory term but to quote someone. I'll probably be modded a troll or flamebait just for pointing this out. Grown educated people have gotten to the point that they now sound like 6 year old children. I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I here people call it "The N-word".

Many younger people of the Jewish faith refer to each other as "heeb". There's even a "Heeb Magazine" But you can't be a (black or white) non-Hebrew and use this term.

Gays are allowed to, and do you the term "fag". But if you're heterosexual, and refer to someone as a "fag" it's homophobic.

I really hate this kind of crap. If it's alright for one group of people to use a term, but not another it's racist. Either the term is offensive, or it isn't. There's no modifier because of the color of your skin, your ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. And what ever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me"? We've turned into a society of whiny little bitches. Oh damn, someone is going to accuse me of being discriminatory toward female canines and claim that I kill puppies.(/sarcasm)

What part of "no single position within the company over the CEO" did I not state clearly? Additionally, Ms. Mayer is on the board of directors So unless she catches a case of schizophrenia, it would be pretty heard for her to disagree with herself.

It's a little difficult to believe there is a "glass ceiling" at Yahoo considering Marissa Mayer is in the highest position in the company. I'm pretty sure she's a woman, and there is no single position within the company over the CEO.

It's pretty easy to welcome "debate" when you've already determined the outcome before a single word has been spoken. It also looks like "transparency" now means the opposite of its traditional meaning. Kind of like how literally can mean figuratively, bad is good, etc.

It's not really that surprising. Rats are pretty smart. Especially compared to many other rodents. My daughter had a pet rat, it was pretty surprising how attached my wife got to it. We had originally planned to let her get two rats because they are very social and do better in pairs. But the one my daughter picked did not like other rats at all. The people at the pet store said that she got into some pretty nasty fights with any other rats, even the ones from her original litter. But she really craved human interaction. My daughter forgot to lock her cage once. It was within the first two week of her getting the rat. It was not even five minutes later that my wife looked down because she felt something on her foot. The rat almost immediately found my wife and was trying to climb her leg.

Food is the best way to train a rat. we noticed that the one my daughter had would often times turn down food it liked if it thought we had something else that it liked better. I don't think I've seen too many other animals that would do that.

I don't think so. Most limos are Cadillacs in the US. Granted there are obviously some specialty ones that are not, but certainly not enough to account for every Mercedes. Even so, cars like these will not be used by transportation companies very often as the overhead on gimmicky suspension stuff like this is not a money maker and too expensive to keep it going. Many cars that limo companies use get sold at auctions, and certainly do not contain anywhere near "10 tons of scrap."

FTFY

FTFY.

As I understood the summary, they are doing nothing to improve handling, it's merely to "increase the pleasure of the driver and passengers."

Sway bars are cheap and the bushings are the only thing that can wear out. This system probably isn't cheap and will cost a hell of a lot more than bushings do to fix it.

I agree, practice is a huge part of it. Back in the days of type on the old Smith corona very few people owned their own typewriter. Additionally there was no benefit, other than to practice, to type incessantly. Texting is a form of communication, it's totally different. Even typing on a computer is different. If you make a mistake, it'll probably be auto-corrected.

When I learned to type you could try to erase the error with one of those green pencil type ink erasers with a brush on one end. Half the time you tore a hole in the paper. Many years ago I discovered that using white out and then photo copying the original document and carefully aligning it in the typewriter was the cleanest way to make a correction. Of course then came erasing ribbons.

Typing is done for much different reasons now. It used to be a secretary would type notes they or someone else took. Now most people are typing their own thoughts. So the need to not look at the keyboard is greatly reduced. Between that, auto-correct, and the ability to edit, I've seen several people who can type forty or more wpm using only their index and middle fingers on each hand.

No, but after owning a car for a while it should be possible to change the radio station or temperature without looking at the display. This is pretty damn hard to do with touch screens. Physical dials an buttons simply make more sense for most controls like this in a car.

I can't say I've every owned a Toyota. But all of the cars that I've owned would not allow you to turn the key back to lock the steering wheel unless the car was in park or neutral.
