Looks like last year the same guy wrote a blog that said Trump lies about Obama tapping his phones.
Bet he wishes he could take that article down now lol.

I understand the frustration with somebody leaving the scene of an accident but it is never a good idea to chase them. He did a lot more damage to his car than the other person did.
exactly, they probably did a few hundred in damage to his bumper or whatever and he had all the evidence he needed. Plus like Triple said, you don't know why they're running. It could end very badly.

Hold judgement on this one, we haven't heard back from the body shop yet

So the guy gets rear ended, the car that hits him takes off. he gets their license plate on camera but decides to pursue anyways. Watch for results.

Well wouldn't that be a Disability Act violation?
No, the building codes only consider accomodations for the disabled person, not the service animals.

I’m thinking I need a service orangutan a la Clint Eastwood in ‘every which way but loose’.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI walk so slow now, a service sloth would be the best service animal for me.
Plus with the look on the sloth's face, I'd no longer be the creepy one in the room.

Just left Walmart, I know I am a glutton for punishment, and a young lady, obviously a millennial, had a dog with a service dog vest on.
I will say I am generally not one to say anything but this dog was definitely not a service dog. What clued me in was the fact the dog was struggling to climb on everyone. As well as the fact it lunged at a young child.
But I bet if you said anything she would flip her lid crying she needed an “emotional support” animal to go shopping.
BTW, “emotional support” is not recognized by the ADA as a use for a service animal.
I wish they would require some sort of ID that retailers could verify.
As much as I hate to say this, they should require some sort of registration for service animals. This "emotional support" thing is getting out of hand and causing people with an actual need for a service animal, issues.

That is an officer doing what he is trained to do. Take charge of the situation and gain control of bad guy as fast as possible. By his action of aggression the officer caught the bad guy totally off guard and the bad guy gave the officer what he needed!!!! OPPORTUNITY and the officer took it. I say job well done.............JMHO
Too bad he didn't work for Broward county.

when did cops start carrying "scatterguns"?
scattergun, shotgun, same same different name.

Bodycam footage from the two officers on the ground. Can't see everything clearly, but that cop wasted no time in running up and neutralizing the situation. dang.

Perspective may have been a little different from the street level, but holy moly! Not sure I would have the cojones to pop someone in the head with a shotgun when they're slinging a hostage around just inches away.
It's a thermal/FLIR video from an overhead chopper, not too graphic. -

All good points, and I won’t meet with someone without talking to them on the phone. I just won’t give out my phone number until we are close to a deal. Maybe I’m missing out on some good deals.
Set up a Google voice number. They're free and that's thats linked to my phone so calls/texts don't show my actual cell number.

Huh?
That store is open 24 hours. The cops showed up on a silent alarm and no one in the store was acting on someone smashing up the gun case and loading guns?
I wouldn't act on it either, they can't carry guns and be damned if walmart paid me enough to interviene someone who may be packing themselves.

That dude is lucky the cop was so reserved, when the guy turn around and said "I will kill you" I expected the cameras to go black. Holy smokes.

BTW, the primary reason for moving the top ring down in the bore is to increase the "top" land thickness, which is an area that is prone to failure under high cylinder pressures. The prevention of "burning" rings is of little consequence, power adders drastically increase pressures in the combustion chambers, the ring lands are some of the thinnest areas near the top of the piston and are most likely to fail. Pistons made for blowers, turbos, and nitrous injected engines are also normally beefed up around the bin boss areas for the same reason. The use of forged pistons is generally considered a necessity in these applications.
disregard my post, looks like no_0ne covered it

I am building an engine that I would like to spray. Never ran nitrous before. I know I need forged pistons but I was told I needed custom "nitrous" pistons with the rings farther down.
Just curious if that was needed or if standard forged pistons will work?
Only shooting 100 hp shot if that matters.
you're fine with any forged pistons. If you get up to putting 40% of motor hp (and up)of nitrous through it, then you may want to consider going with the nitrous pistons for the differences in ring design. Som epeople say 40%, some people say 50%, everyone has their backyard mechanic number. I think it has more to do with the piston design itself and not necessarily a power level that should be the determining factor. the thicker the skirts and ringlands are, the better.

I use Fidelity. $4.95 trades and they have some of the best analysis tools around. they're one of (if not the) biggest in the industry and the quality of their software reflects it.
+ 1 for this. Stuff going on with the market I'm up 8% in the last 3 weeks, which is an insane amount. About to pull back and just let it sit until something drops.

Literally got nothing this year. I told all of my family not to get me anything because I was spending all their gift money on toys for the children's hospital.. And that I did. Bought more this year for them than any other year. Hope it helped some of the families out.

that's always been a tough scenario in my head. glad she didn't hit the cop and she didn't get shot back.
-
Let me guess, they all had security windows, bars, and all of their firearms were locked in a secure manner so the thieves only made off with coffee mugs and magazines?

Yes, they're quick to get everything to you.

As much as it pains me to say this... we don't know everything the jury does. And, I am glad that a court doesn't do a popular phone vote like American Idol on cases because we may be the unfortunate one on the stand one day.

House Buying/Mortgage Questions

In a similar boat right now, put in an application on quicken to compare VA and conventional loans for a new place in Vegas. Make sure to apply to multiple places. You have a 14 day to 30 day window where you can apply for multiple mortgages and it only counts as one inquiry on your credit report later. Think I have 5 in right now, and there are substantial differences between fees/points/interest rates.
Do not decide based on a single company's opinion. Good thing is they all require basically the same info, so after you apply once, you already have all the documentation to send to the others.
Also... if you are buying new construction, and haven't signed with a realtor, check with the construction company, sometimes they will knock 2-3% off the house for not having to pay those fees. The new stuff I was looking at in Vegas was 2% if I went through them, + 2% if I used their bank for financing. Thousands $ saved right out of the gate, just by not getting a second realtor involved.
