Of course! See the government's "balanced" budget that keeps putting us in debt!

I've discovered recently that I've been mistaking thirst for hunger. So now when I think I'm hungry I have a glass of water and wait a half an hour, then if I'm still hungry I eat something. It's pretty amazing, about 3 out of 4 times I'm thirsty, not hungry. Go figure.

I have a good blind spot monitor too: It's called setting your side mirrors properly.

Pretty much everyone uses their side mirrors as rear view mirrors - if you can see the side of your car in your side mirror it isn't set right.

My mirrors (on both my car and my truck) are set so that when a vehicle leaves my rear view mirror it is in my side mirror, and when I can't see it in my side mirror, the car is directly next to me. Neat, huh?

Also: If I had a car binging at me with some sort of notification, I'd look down at the dash to see what it was, and I suspect that won't help my odds in avoiding a collision.

I dunno. We are not talking a "live" or "real-time" conversation here. There is time to articulate thoughts and type things out correctly.

This is more of a generalization of posting on boards/forums/etc, not aimed at any specific person.

Google doesn't even return Google when you google "search engine".

Why would it? You're already using Google's search engine!

Nobody said how big the circle was. Maybe it's spinning in one place?

So after all the problems with malware-ridden popups and other unwanted crap Google gives us this?

Sure, there's no way it's going to get abused. Or cracked.

If you do attempt an in-house solution keep in mind that fire is the first step - don't forget about all the water the fire department will use to put the fire out!

There are fire rated safes that are waterproof that are made specifically for media. You can source one of these out and use it - the safe will list what mediums it can protect. If all you are protecting is a single hard drive or memory stick, you don't need a huge internal capacity safe. Also, remember to look at the internal dimensions as media safes have much thicker walls than normal safes.

I know someone who used to have one of those, the "turbo" button wouldn't have helped at all...

I was more thinking what happens when your pets step on it...

Nah, it flies towards your front door, releases the package, and shouts "NO CARRIER" and moves on to the next delivery.

I don't know about that. He's slowly warming up to the electric car. He reviewed one recently and he didn't hate it.

Lucky you. I guess you weren't affected by the GPU failures in that line of laptops. Overheating is pretty common.

Mulder just can't jump to conclusions the way he used to.

No, but he can be much more cynical. That could be amusing.

Correction: They regulate the minimum temperature for rentals. The landlord has to provide a heating system that can heat to a minimum temperature for the winter, typically 20-21 C.

I have rented several units, I've never seen a unit where there was no temperature control. One of my friends, however, liked to rent basement suites, and they often had no separate heat controls. The thermostat would be in the upstairs part of the house.
