Don't overthink it. In NY, for example, the tint laws require that all vehicles have no less than 70 percent light transmittance on the windshield and front side windows, excepting the top 6 inches of the windshield, which may be tinted to any darkness. Vehicles classified as station wagons...

I dunno. I just went by Section 4, sentence two.

If you don't have two side mirrors.

Here's how I put it a few years ago, right after I stole the analogy from Terry (I think it was).

You can also use the silver reflective bubble pack insulation (Reflectix at Lowes). Insulates and privatizes. In my old van I just used 3M spray adhesive and glued it right to the inside of the window. Sure, it's a little white trailer trash, but it worked. But I also knew that I wasn't going to...

A Sprinter is a better choice. It's (one of) the reason I went from a Ford E-350 cargo van to a Sprinter - tired of living on my knees. However, as an entry level vehicle, a Sprinter can be a real problem. A Sprinter has a significant learning curve all on its own. You have to make a commitment...

"Who's your depository? Who's your depository?"

Stating "maybe it should be a MANDATORY class in schools" opens wide the door to discuss other things that might be made mandatory in school, at least in the context of how effective they may or may not be. In any case, I'm in favor of safe sex.

Another one that will greatly effect the numbers is whether or not the insurer has a monopoly or competition.

Oh, they're steeped in corruption now, thanks to politics, mostly Congress. The SLS/Orion pork-filled boondogle is clear evidence of that. NASA never wanted any part of it, and wants to dump it and let private enterprise handle it, so NASA can move on to important stuff. But Congress isn't...

DDT would have wiped them out, no question. But the problem was discovered and recognized before it had a chance to kill them in large numbers. A couple more years though and it would have become a significant problem. Given a little more time and it would have, but it hadn't yet approached the...

It's not opposing viewpoints I have issue with, it's the ridiculous claims made, without substantiation, that fails utterly to refute easily verifiable facts, facts that show your claims to be borne of ignorance and assumption. Absurdly ridiculous is what they are.

DDT played a factor and a large one, but eagles were primarily endangered by loss of habitat and from fishermen who saw them as a threat.

It was even done for two purposes, the entire reason that NASA was created was to win the space race, pure and simple. It's purpose was never, even a little bit, about space exploration. That's why moon missions stopped the instant the Soviet threat ended. Three planned missions were scrapped...

Will these pictures prove the ridiculous claims you've made?

What are you talking about? No one, least of all me, ever said that NASA and the military had no connections. They had a boatload of them. NASA launched scores of military satellites (and later in the SST program carried hundreds of military experiments into space), but none of them were done...

Not new news, man. It was known about at the time, and was funded entirely by DOD budgets, not out of NASA's budget. Just one of many military projects NASA was involved with that wasn't paid for by NASA, that the details and purpose weren't known, but that they existed were most definitely known.

Like I said, don't confuse gun safety laws and gun infringement laws. Gun safety laws are things like trigger locks and gun safes. Gun infringement laws are things like background checks, magazine capacity, regulation of gun ownership transfers, and gun bans. Many infringement laws are called...

I'm not talking history books, I'm talking mission books, research books, project books, and financial books, none of which were ever classified or declassified. Even the military projects, while it wasn't necessarily public about what they were for, or the details of the project, the project...

My goodness. It gets more laughable every time you post. Every penny of DOD money that "found" its way into a NASA program was and is accounted for. It's purpose was to develop ways to miniatirize computers? LOL That's funny. And to develop ICBMs? Uhm, we already HAD those. They were repurposed...
