Welcome to the IHoP v.2

He whipped around for you going 5 MPH over????

 

 

I've had a written warning for 6mph over, 71 in a 65.  

I got a 76 in a 55, I Got no warning I wasn't even asked why I was speeding he came up to me asked for my license/registration went back to his car and came back with a ticket. In NY Thats a $270 Fine then they charge you $100 a year for 3 years for an "assessment fee" Paid a lawyer $100, was reduced to failure to obey $50 ticket and I was a happy camper. I cant imagine being pulled over and given a warning for 6 Miles over though...

I live in a very small area and cops have nothing better to do

So, instead of spending R&D to figure out a way for their engines to run efficiently, they instead slap on some cheap & quick fixes.

that's the American way though!

[ssh 924]

I had to write the dumbest lab report ever. Something that could be described in one sentence dragged out to a page, so what do I do? Write about meth.

[ssh 924]

And yes it tied in.

[Adrian_D 520]

Looks like I'm going to register for a masters. 

The state wants at least 5 years of higher education to offer the tax exempt, so I have to get a masters.

Other people can answer this better than I, but you'd probably be surprised how much $$$ they are spending on research to get these things to pass the emissions.

There lies the problem. The emissions were better before the aggressive and shit EGR systems. And thus better before DEF.

So you plan to reduce emissions by forcing everyone to add another tank, pump, hose, chamber in the exhaust, and fluid to add to the vehicle. Well how the fuck did you get the DEF to the trucks? In a package that had a carbon footprint and a truck hauled that DEF so there is more carbon footprints. You cannot tell me that the DEF system reduces more bad stuff than the process of making it, the systems in the truck that squirt it, and the transportation of the fluid itself and it's containers.

God damn psychopaths.

wtf @ "assessment fee"

Oh I'm sure they spent a pretty penny. Thing is, they probably came up with several viable solutions, then presented these solutions to management. Management then runs cost-benefit analysis on each of the proposed solutions, and chooses the one that will benefit the company the most.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

Nine times out of ten the solution they go with is the simple "band-aid" fix.

[DanP 19]

wtf @ "assessment fee"

New York uses a points system and apparently the assessment fee is based on the points on your license

 

"What is a driver responsibility assessment?

In addition to any fines, fees, penalties, or surcharges that you pay for a traffic conviction, you must pay the driver responsibility assessment. The assessment is an amount that you must pay each year for three years. You pay the assessment to the DMV."

 

"Who must pay a driver responsibility assessment?

You must pay the driver responsibility assessment if any of the following incidents occur:

• you are convicted of an alcohol-related traffic violation and the violation occurred in NYS on or after November 18, 2004 (includes boats and snowmobiles); or
• you are convicted of a drug-related traffic violation and the violation occurred in NYS on or after November 18, 2004 (includes boats and snowmobiles); or
• a DMV hearing determines that you refused a chemical test and the refusal occurred in NYS on or after November 18, 2004 (includes boats and snowmobiles); or
• you receive six or more points on your NYS driver record during a period of 18 months and the violations occurred in NYS, Quebec or Ontario on or after November 18, 2004."

So essentially a way for NYS To make more money.

They're not forcing anyone to add anything. All they did was set the maximum level of emissions that can come out the tailpipe. How the manufacturers actually go about doing that is up to them.

[The enD 467]

I like to buy big bottles of soda, cause it's cheaper, but I hate it when it goes flat after a day or two.
Any of you guys know a solution?
 
I've found these two:

 
And this pump

 
From what I am reading the reason sodas go flat is that the CO2 in the bottle escapes. Every time you open it, a bit of Co2 goes out and after you put a cap it tries to make an equilibrium between the CO2 in the drink and in the air above it.
 
I will make myself the first type as the second one sounds like a fail. Even tho you pump air in it, you still loose some CO2 when you open to pour.

#1 thank you for letting me know. I thought DEF was a government requirement. The fleet workers I k.ow use it and cannot imagine it is the cheepest way for them to continue passing the tests.

#2 it still causes more harm than good in the total cycle.

The top one will create no pressure to prevent the CO2 from leaving the soda. And entering the void. You would need a positive pressure. Number 2 is more feasible.

[ssh 924]

In either case store it in the fridge if you aren't.

[ssh 924]

Or get a carbonation system if you're a nut.

Target sum is 1500, I'd stretch to 1600 though. 

did u already offer? That is so close I would do it mattrer of factly

When you guys have moved into a new house how long does it usually take you to unpack, having taken no time off of work?

J

3 to 4 years

Dembeats or m5, if I was to move to the mnpls area is there any parts to avoid looking into a house?

yep. Funk u obama

yes. You should really live here at least a year before buying. Get ready to hate the prices too. Starter homes are in the 300 range

[stevemead08 752]

Can't stand the thought of renting after owning for this long.

Anything is going to be more expensive than Houston. I'm prepared for the home prices. Need to research property taxes vs here. Stupid high here.
