Sorry, I posted a ludicrous answer to a question regarding the US Treasury. No political comment was made or intended. I would have said Kim Kardashian but a) I don't know how to spell her name and b) I don't think that they could make the back of a $20 big enough

Hillary Clinton?

I know how a CVT works as well, there is a pulley type in nearly every modern snowmobile and ATVs as well, I suspect. When I followed the link that raybonz provided (thank you) I realized I need to do some research. I just can't seem to see how two smooth metal pulleys connected by a multi-link...

No place like 127.0.0.1, nice! It appears I did not shine in the WOW event this year... Link to my WOW event stats. It is interesting (to me, anyway) that my final position is almost the same as my world standing in the Seti at Home project... of course a few more people participate in the...

Forgive me, but I disagree. It is true that higher frequencies are more directional, as I previously stated, but low frequency program can be localized as well if you learn to listen critically. The ".1" in 5.1 and 7.1 is a dedicated LFE channel and should only be used for low frequency program...

I need to move to where you live, the laws and drivers with the exception of some crew cab operators sound much better than where I am. Here if someone pulls into my path and I hit them, I am at fault, There is no "unavoidable" collision. If you hit someone because you couldn't avoid them, you...

Parking a motorcycle anywhere but on solid level ground can lead to expensive physics lessons!

I have considered this as well, however, in the state where I live while it is not illegal to back out of a driveway or parking spot, if there is a collision the vehicle in reverse is 100% at fault. Any moving vehicle hitting a legally parked vehicle, ditto. Sorry that happened to you, but if...

Agreed, except for those times when you are cut off in the process of backing in by a self-absorbed turd that whips into your intended slot then lays on the horn and curses you for "trying to hit them". It happens to me at least once a month. Hopefully, some day they will pull this slick trick...

I considered this nightmare scenario as well, and while a it is possible, it would require the Elio to be parked nose in as far as possible into the slot and the blocking vehicle(s) (one would be enough if the other were sufficiently close) would either have to be very short sub-compacts or risk...

As to doors, unless we park our Elios like idiots, it should be nearly impossible to be "door whacked" (Nice link, thanx!)

I agree with your assessments, but I had made no reference to door contact which lead to my confusion. I was thinking of drivers of larger vehicles who, being unfamiliar with the Elio or inattentive, use the main body of the Elio to gauge the intervehicle distance when entering or exiting an...

I have reread my statements and your question several times and I confess I have no idea what you are asking. Would you please clarify?

I respectfully disagree, microphones may be classed as "omni-directional" (they are not truly, either) but any generation of sound with the possible exception of earthquakes has a point source. Many people have been lied to by audio manufacturers who say that frequencies below (insert the...

Yah, that would work - but why is all the snow tan?

When I ride my motorcycle to the store, a larger one, such as a grocery store, if I spend any significant amount of time shopping, when I return to my motorcycle I find the cars now parked on either side have encroached substantially on the parking space I am using. Sometimes parking so closely...

To remove all doubt, the poll is NOT a joke, you are voting for me to stay or go, so have at it.

Cash... and J and K, because they made it look good!

Certainly not, I eat pork and beans before I go to the theatre, but only if it doesn't have too much Spam in it. Because nothing shows consideration for your fellow man like a 10 second, four octave gaseous discharge of slightly impure methane during a quiet scene.

I always pack a towel, but I am more a Zaphod Beeblebrox sort of fellow... two heads, President of the Universe and all... (for a minute there I was going to ask if you meant the car, the former POTUS or the gumball) And do you dress in all black, John Snow?
