    Uhm, no. Science gets exploited for political (and many other) reasons, but the science itself isn't political at all. I promise you, gravity doesn't depend on whether you are liberal or conservative or independent. As for science benefiting mankind, that's mostly how science has been used. But...

    The Sprinter is a Mercedes, so it needs to be taken care of and maintained like a Mercedes. Pretty much everything you think you know about maintaining a vehicle can be thrown out the window with a Sprinter. They're is a steep learning curve with a Sprinter. That's why is doesn't make for a good...

    In expediting, where you live is irrelevant, unless you want to go home a lot. If you can stay out 3, 4, 5 months at a time, you'll be fine. The reason few people will paint a pretty picture of expediting is because most people don't last 6 months in this business and the overwhelming majority...

    No, it's not surprising at all. Social agendas are almost never accompanied or supported by science. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? A) to make such a statement in the context of social agenda change and in the context of this conversation is a whopper of logical...

    Not including the US, in which several states have put it to a vote, exactly seventeen countries, including Britain, Spain and France, have defeated same sex marriage by popular vote. Well, we have, too just not in a national vote, because the federal government doesn't control and regulate...

    This is 8th grade math, or what used to be. Now it's probably second year physics in college. <snort> A dragon drank 1/5 of the water in a lake. After a break, he drank 1/4 of the remaining water. After another break, he drank 1/3 of the remaining water. After a final break, he drank 1/2 of...

    Because fault and liability falls to whomever was in command and control of the vehicle when it was placed on the road, unless there is evidence to the contrary. Absence of evidence, or speculation of evidence, is not evidence.

    Which is why I took issue with you calling it science. None of this curriculum involves science. It's 100% social agenda. As for competitive on the world stage... It sounds good, I suppose, to state that discrimination (religiously inspired or not) did not play well with an international...

    Truck Speed Limiter Mandate is Progressing

    It only calls for limiters on vehicles heavier than 26,000 pounds.

    Religious discrimination

    If course it's possible. That's why I said falling to contact the court to explain why, and then asking for another court date, is kinda stupid. I very rarely make assumptions, mainly because it's lazy and stupid ignorant. And this instance is no different. Her court date is right on the back...

    Gender fluidity has nothing to do with how or whom you bump ugly.

    I, too, am interested in how they measure hot tire pressure.

    Outside of the legal system, guilt and fault mean the same thing. This will never go to criminal court, for the driver, because the defendant is dead and cannot defend himself. If FedEx were to be found to be at fault, they're is a possibility of criminal charges. But that's unlikely. Even...

    No, I just told you why I know that. No need to speculate.

    Check out Google Earth. More than just a fun fact. It pays MONEY!

    Yeah, but don't forget I used to be leased to Panther, where the road miles rarely matched the billed. :D OK, so by "accurate," you mean that it more closely matches the actual driven miles. Sometimes you have to be specific, because there are some routing options where 5 miles on their map is...

    Taps is based on an 1809 French bugle call ("Tattoo"). It was used to signal lights out and go to bed. Napoleon referred to it many times as his favorite bugle call (actually played on a clarion, which is one of those really long, straight trumpets you see being played in movies to herald some...

    Check out Google Earth. More than just a fun fact. It pays MONEY!

    One reason is that you need an Internet connection to use Google Maps. As soon as you lose your WiFi or mobile data signal GPS tracking and directions stop working. You can kind of get around this by creating a route and then downloading the maps for offline directions, but you can't do that...

    At fault is at blame. Responsibility, liability, culpability, blame worthiness, guilt, these are all synonyms for fault. Be that as it may, whoever was in command control of the vehicle carries the guilt, and the liability, even if they died prior to impact.

    Well, Google Earth is just the satellite overlay for Google Maps. Google Maps does the routing. But when you say "most accurate miles," what does that even mean? I've found PC Miler, Streets & Trips, Google Maps and Garmin all to be very accurate. If any of them show a trip to be, say, 350...
