Just wondered what the tradeoff was for the drivers.

What's the average shelf life of a load before the driver gets paid for it?

It's certainly not a catastrophe, but every time you change brands, viscountcies or types (dino versus synthetic), the engine will wear juuuuust a little bit differently. If it were me, I woudn't like it much, but I wouldn't freak out, either. I'd just go back to Delo at the next oil change...

I'm thoroughly and utterly and completely confused by the whole "where it is illegal to drink" remark. She was at the US Embassy.

Re: Texas executed an innocent man No, it was very clear. It's also clear you have a clear disdain for Perry, thus he can do no right, regardless of what he does. Agreed I'll take or not for $500, Alex. There's another side to that coin.

Re: Texas executed an innocent man You know, the prosecutor is a Republican, too. It's OK to spread it around.

Like Dreamer said, what a price tag! I really don't even need a 55" HDTV at home, anyway. I'm hardly ever there. I've been using a 20 year old 36" TV that works OK, but with all the widescreen programming nowadays it's hard to get the aspect ratio right. And it has crappy sound. I got the...

Oh, I'm sure he'll go to wherever you want to pay him to go. [emoji1]

Re: Texas executed an innocent man That's what happens when the prosecution is more concerned with winning than they are the truth. And it's why Ragman has a very, very strong argument. I can give Perry a pass on that. One, it's not like Perry was an active participant in all this, or even...

Well, I never said you don't have a natural right to buy food. You certainly do. People have a natural right to be free, and remain free, and to live, and to remain alive, and buying food (or growing it) is certainly a part of that. You have the natural right to obtain and consume food. You also...

His wife is also kinda hot.

The problem with this is someone actually thinks you can be 100% safe while at the same time be breathing. Life isn't 100% safe, so to expect some solution for people who kill to be be 100% safe, is unrealistic. Killing innocent people is certainly not the way to achieve 100% safety. It's a...

No, I'd have to be the monthly winner for many, many months to acquire that kind of pointload. The TV is a $1200 TV (Amazon, Best Buy), lists for $1999 I think. I got it for $650. Brand new unit. The $400 top-rated Pioneer soundbar I got for $100. Brand new. The smoked glass and black powder...

Re: Texas executed an innocent man As Rags noted, that's a separate issue. Life in prison certainly affords a high degree of safety for the public, considerably more than allowing potential, future first time killers to roam free until they kill someone. Until we have a full-blown Minority...

Re: Texas executed an innocent man I don't think there is any question, not even debatable, that stopping the death penalty and not executing anybody is way better than the old idea of actually allowing an innocent man to be wrongly executed by the state. If you're going to execute someone for...

Which Web site? This Web site? Your Mobile Mechanic in Greenville, Sc I suppose it could be a phishing scam, but his Facebook page isn't typical for that, plus buying a Sprinter and getting all that high dollar vinyl lettering put on it seems a bit much for a phishing scam...

I'm at home doing stuff. Got some estimates on some body work - repairing where someone hit me and then ran off before I came back out of the store at the J in Corfu, and repainting the hood. One estimate from the 'premier' body shop was $2100, another one in town was for $1950, and the one from...

Re: Texas executed an innocent man I don't understand. Kill 'em all is precisely what you are advocating.

Re: Texas executed an innocent man Kill 'em all! Let God sort it out!

Re: Texas executed an innocent man That's pretty ****ed up. It amazes me that a jury, even one in Texas, would convict someone of capital murder on the strength of the testimony of a jailhouse informer. Even if he genuinely did confess to another inmate, it still isn't trustworthy, because it's...
