That's for me to know and you to find out?  I was referring to the discussion that was about to devolve into an argument about hunting. |

Most xmas stuff for kids is a total waste, outside that one thing they're going bugfuck about (that's only a waste a week later). We had family xmas last sunday, and the aunts and uncles and cousins all buy crap for the kids. Kids rip it open and promptly ignore it, don't give a shit about any of it, are more interested in what the other kids got, and never thank anyone. I laugh every year as they keeps saying it's for the children, and how much money they waste on crap that gets casually tossed aside.

See, that's not totally true. As a kid, I learned an incredibly important lesson about marketing, materialism, fads, and the transitory nature of joy.
I got a power glove that year for Christmas.
I very much suspect this one incident heavily contributed to my severe mistrust of marketing and my general cheapness.

I still have all of and even play some of those Nintendo games that I went crazy over in 1989 that I got for Christmas. I like to tell my parents their money and effort to find what I wanted did not go to waste. And I did thank them ;-) My in-law's family though... yikes! |

Foggy as hell this morning. All sorts of asshats speeding around ignorant of the correlation between fog, freezing temperatures, and black ice. Enjoy your hospital stay. |

My favorite is the assholes who refuse to use their headlights in the darkness of fog or rain. They're like "what, it's daytime. I don't hafta use lights if it's daytime." YOU'RE ENDANGERING EVERYONE, that's what. Fuckers need to get ticketed for that shit. |

Not in defense of them, but some people believe that using headlights in the fog actually impairs the vision of themselves and cars around them...because the light refracts back to them or something. Sounds like bullshit to me, but there you go. |

Using high beams in fog will do that, but regular headlights? Not so much. And it makes you far more visible to the rest of the chuckleheads on the road, which should be reason enough to do it. Like the lackwits who drive an hour after sunset with their parking lights on but not their headlights.

As my driver's ed instructor used to say all those years ago: "parked cars don't move!" regarding using the parking lights for driving. If it's so dark outside you can't see your instrument cluster, you NEED to use your headlights and NOT just the praking lights (no, they are NOT "running lights" either as running lights are on big trucks to indicate their outline while running down the road). The twilight sentinels on people's cars have made people incredibly dumb and lazy about using their headlights properly. Most don't turn them on until the computer automatically does it for them. |

Sounds like a good reason to mandate daytime running lights like Canada. That's the biggest reason I prefer buying GMs over other US makers.. they made that shit standard years ago. Too bad they threw all the lines of cars I buy to the four winds. Foreign or bust now, I guess.
Also; fog lights on the lower bumper are there for a reason and CALLED that for the same reason.. but I see people turn them off in fog, but leave them running at all other times because 'they look cool.' Fuck those guys.

I turn on my headlights every time I drive. It is simply part of my "starting the car" process, and I never have to think about it.

You should lay him next to one of the pipes to bring his temp down  |

Quite. Luckily I do not spend most of my holidays with the ones I don't like. Been there, done that and learned the lesson. |

I had a lovely Christmas with a bunch of relatives (10 of us). OK, the ten-year-old was a bit of a pest, but I gather that's what they do.
