so Judd, I've got this problem with my lawn mower, think I can bring it in? Congrats man.

As do I...

Bingo. I once worked with a guy who's sole reason for getting a F350 was to take the kids back and forth from school. I'm not a huge truck kid, but I do see the need for a "professional edition" with metal bumpers, (somewhat) easily replaceable panels that see a lot of wear, easily cleanable interior, stuff like that.

For realz, I'd love to see this. Pay him damages from the agreed/actual price difference? Find him a similar car? Something seems off. You either do the deal or you don't. Damages implies there was damage done to the plaintiff, there wasn't any damage done for his failure to buy something.

Hong Kong's exchange (Hang Seng) is down 17.2% from the end of April to now. NYSE is down 9.94%

Since when has the US government ever let that statute stop them? I can think of about 8 "exceptions" off the top of my head...

You're right, to a point. If they are indeed wrong, then the onus is on you to explain their fault in a respectful and non-dickish (example: telling them to pound sand is the opposite of non-dickish) way. For instance, when I first bought my house my neighbor was cutting swaths of my lawn by not picking up the damn mower when he turns to do another pass, and instead walking over my lawn. This wouldn't have been a problem if he actually finished the strip (it was just a little 4x4ft box in front of the sidewalk) but instead he left semicircles in my yard. Politely explained where the property lines were, and we don't have a problem anymore. Conversely, if the OP is wrong, then they need to take reasonable steps to correct this. Up and moving the fence on a moment's notice is pretty unreasonable, but moving the playset can be done with minimal effort.

That sounds like it came from a North Korea government broadcast. So can I open fire on the Tea Partiers for being so un-patriotic as to be instrumental in causing economic terrorism? Causing the world to believe that America would default on her debts to the point that our credit rating is reduced and our markets are losing money by the day certainly qualifies as terrorism and an enemy of the state to me.

I'll take "guilt by association fallacy" for $1000. Not quite the way accessory/principal associations work.

My point is how do you prove that your life was threatened by each and every one of the pyramid of bodies you would have created? Unless you're using an aimbot, you're going to miss, have through-and-throughs that might hit other people, etc. My point is there would be collateral damage with a group of that size, and I don't believe castle doctrine really covers that.

I thought instead of mob rule, we were calling it "market forces"? You're right though, it is quite the paradox that doesn't leave a lot of room for the rule of law.

And the hypothetical shooter would either be going to jail or will be getting the death penalty. Although there is admittedly no precedent (that comes to mind) for this, I can't imagine castle doctrine applies wholesale to a mob of people, much less if you've caused so much carnage as to create a wall of bodies.

You've had me right up to this point. LA riot semantics aside (UP's right, by the way), martial law is the imposition of military rule. Although DHS now has a combat brigade on-call (wtf), you'll be hard-pressed to deploy military forces in a LEO capacity in the face of Posse Comitatus. All that being said, it has fuck-all to do with a hypothetical person defending his shop/property with the appropriate amount of force in accordance with the local laws. The only problem there is with endurance, once you make the decision to start shooting you better be ready for the angry herd.

International flights leave Port Columbus multiple times a day. If you feel that strongly about it, maybe you should be on one.

Lawrence Lessig and some Tea Party asshole? This is like putting Stephen Hawking up against some guy who just read about physics on Wikipedia.

Frequent fliers already get more than their fair share of radiation exposure, it's called being at 37,000 feet for a few hours. Even with the limited shielding in the fuselage, at least those doses have reams of long-term data to back up the health effects. I don't need to double-down on this by walking through a machine that was shoved down our throats with no meaningful testing at all by a former DHS director so he can make bank for himself and the company he now represents.

I've had issue with their wiring harness, just because I put 55W's on and don't trust the Honda harness to carry that much current. The harness that they will send you is for a car, so it will require considerable chopping to make fit. There's also a wiring fault somewhere, which with the modding of the harness makes finding that fault that much harder.

Tyler, do you know what nemesis means?

Am I meeting you anywhere?

Probably out, might go out with the coworkers tonight. I think I might have caused enough damage...

Sucks to hear, but consider putting a different link to the CL posting. You're possibly leaving yourself open to post edits.

I'm in Easton, but I don't mind going a little in the opposite direction to meets up with y'all. Seeing as this is Day 2 of my 2-day guaranteed-work-is-not-going-to-fuck-with-me vacation, I'm in.

Be careful with this. Starting a chargeback war can have unintended consequences if you ever actually have a fraudulent charge in the future that you need to have reversed. Again, yes, it sucks to be in a bus for 2.5 hours, but they held up their end of the contract of carriage, and you got where you needed to be that day and with a delay that wasn't unreasonable. Move on.

Which courtesy of the bus ride to Columbus, they did. It's getting stranded out of driving range where things get fun, and you have a lot of leverage provided it's a mechanical fault. I spend 2 extra days in Tucson in 2007 when the NE had that big ass blizzard, all I had to do was tell the ticket agent over the phone that I wanted a guarantee that the flights were making it through O'Hare and onto Columbus. She didn't give it, so I stayed in sunny 60 degrees until she could.

With the pavement out there, you've got about 10 seconds of drift before the pavement rips your rubber down to metal cord. I do NOT want to go down in Washington/Oregon roads.
