I personally have no doubt that it's flawed, but near-complete GOP non-participation in its formulation and implementation as a political strategy hasn't done America any good either.3 points

The article shows that it's OK for democrats to admit that the ACA is flawed. It's even OK for Democrats who call themselves Libertarians.2 points

Agreed. I HAVE 3 cards, but we only really use one of them, and that's for the sake of convenience (i.e. not carrying large amounts of cash for bigger purchases). I haven't paid interest on a card in 7 years, and that was an accident where I simply forgot to make a payment. That's the only time I've ever given the credit card company a dime. As far as I'm concerned, MasterCard and Visa are providing me with completely free services - why wouldn't I use them? with the points, I put a $10,000 down-payment on our last car by using my Visa. That was a lot of points, and we were going to pay the same amount to the dealership in cash anyway. I see the harm in abusing credit cards, but there's no reason not to use them responsibly.2 points

And like me, he has a very cynical sense of humor. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2013/11/the-loyal-obama-supporters-whose-plans-have-been-canceled-by-obamacare/71312/1 point

Here is where I say "what goes up, must come down". Currently Democrats are not in favor of ObamaCare by a 2 to 1 ratio. Remainder undecided. Among Republicans, well, you know... something like 95%+ against. Congress is currently drafting revisions to correct. Good luck to them, even with decent bipartisan support. Attempts will be made to allow people to "keep their existing", not pay penalties for the first year, extend enrollment periods, etc. Fancy footwork quickly being applied, this will effect votes in the next elections. Worst news recently, is that several top-of-the-line hospitals (as well as many others) have discovered that they can only accept one or two or three insurance companies, per ObamaCare. They are furious, and litigation is expected. edit: Yes, if you are a Democrat and support ObamaCare, you are currently in a serious minority. Every which way you want to measure it.1 point

Your right because now it's the government fucking the public and the insurance companies still have profits that will grow faster than the national dept. I can see how this is so much better for the country.1 point

for comparison 2012 Honda Shadow 750 spirit Power: 44.87HP (33 kW) @ 5500 rpm. Torque: 63 Nm (46.47 lb-ft) @ 3000 rpm. seems like harley is right on par1 point

Front and rear camera are "Orange menu" GS1000 cameras at $120 each. The interior facing camera cost about $80 and will record in case of theft or break-in. The power controller (to allow the cameras to run while the engine is off but also prevent the cameras running the battery flat) was about $20. The switchbox that flipped to the backup camera was $12. Took a few hours to get it all wired up factory quality running behind carpets (removed the seats and interior trim to run the wires. The cameras have GPS and a G-force sensor. Time/Date/Speed is imprinted permanently on the video image and there is also a gps/gforce data file tied with each video file that you can use the supplied software to overlay your speed, g-force graphs and video image on google maps. This is black-box level evidence. If you are not at fault, this will save your butt. Conversely, if you ARE at fault and the video is used then you have zero defense. Video quality from the front-facing camera (switch to 1080p fullscreen) The very minimum I would recommend to anyone is to simply get a front-facing GS1000 "Orange Menu" (there are different clones with blue and grey menus that are not as good video quality) and plug it into your cig lighter. $120 for the camera, $30 for the class10 32GB micro sd. So for $150 you are covered if there is ever question about your speed, lane position, color of traffic light etc. My informal research shows the most common causes of accidents being ruled "fault undetermined" (or even being ruled 100% the fault of the innocent driver) are: - Disputes over the color of the traffic light. (Was it yellow or red? Both cars claim green etc) - Disputes over which vehicle left its lane (when vehicles in two adjacent lanes sideswipe each other. Less common are cases where: - The location of the accident is disputed (because the at-fault driver drove over a painted gore/solid line and claims the accident happened further down the road where that maneuver would have been legal) - A multiple rear-ender where the middle cars try to deny driving into the car in front of it. (instead they claim they were "pushed" into the car in front, unfairly transferring liability for the damage it did by rear-ending the car in front of it to the car behind it) - A rear-ender where the car at the back claims the car in front reversed into them The new setup video references an old camera system that I just removed - it was an Aver EB1304MOB 4cannel CIF resolution (320x240) that was the size of a VCR and designed to be installed in a bus so you can see why 1920x1080 is insanely better.1 point

No don't be bringing government bailouts and import tariffs into this - next you'll be saying that HD didn't build success exclusively in their own and that not all their components are American made and that Asian and European bikes beat them in torque, horsepower AND price and that Jap crap will never take off and India and China will never make decent bikes... Burn the witch!1 point

Harley's never win on specs, they win on their lifestyle and the story they've crafted together into a premium brand. To the credit of critics, that's why they are so reluctant to innovate especially into smaller machines - it goes against their tightly laced story and lifestyle.1 point

I am getting a FL license to cover me in CO and NH my main 2 travel areas, and keeping OH valid anyways. In the end, I don't get why PA isn't on board yet. And if this is what it takes to get that, then I am for it. I also like the idea that I can stand my ground, I never at any point feel it is my duty to retreat or seek refuge if my life, my wife, kid, family, or friend's life is endangered. Honestly, I do wish the world was more like the old west, well in lots of ways actually, but when you can sue McD's for hot coffee you know the US is F'd.1 point

You can use a crows foot or a torque adapter at 90* to the torque wrench without doing anything (ie the torque will be correct), if you need to run it straight for access then a torque adapter will be proper, otherwise if you have room to put a crows foot on the torque wrench perpendicular then it will work just fine.1 point

I took 25 pictures of her and a video. She was around a good while this certain spot is a deer hot spot in a nice pinch point where 3 fields come together 1 crp field where they bed and 2 soybean fields with a creek that's right in there as well. I don't yunt it very often because I can never get a good wind but that day the wind was perfect1 point
