  1. 5 seconds? Some scaremongering in there I think.
  2. You're not ticking someone from being an a-h, you're ticketing them for breaking a driving law. If they didn't break a driving law then how are they being an a-h? Well, there's your extremes. You either accept that people drive like crap and do thing about it, or you build an enforcement system to guarantee every violation is punished. Neither is apparently palatable, so the next option is?

    I ordered 4 cables from 3rd party for 7.99 each. We'll see if they work out. The seller has feedback from two buyers that state the cables "as described", which tells me they work...?
  4. Imagine world where there are red light cameras, stop sign cameras, yield cameras, cameras on freeway overpasses that can detect tailgaters etc, and all tie to to your driver's license. Commit enough violations and your license is automatically suspended. And/or... Electronic devices built into each car that communicate with each other - when a near-miss happens the devices use lane position, intersection types, signal status, speed and other data to determine who was responsible for the near-miss (could be both drivers) and penalize the at-fault driver(s) with a one-day license suspension. Could you imagine how much safe driving would be if EVERYONE complied with the law? I mean, you can be scared of a future with cameras and reject this idea, if you like, but then you just get cut off on a daily basis by people breaking driving laws.
  5. The darker colors scabbed and the lighter colors are peeling like sunburn. Underneath the scabs, the new skin i silver and some of it is also peeling like sunburn. While I was using aquaphor the scabs were soft/wet to a point where I had to be very careful when patting-dry for fear that the scab would disintegrate. Since stopping the aquaphor the scabs have been dry/hard. The tat has lots of long lines and the long scabs were cracked into smaller pieces by the normal movement of my arm, and just today the act of carefully rinsing just washed most of the scabs away. I didn't feel them coming off, so I'm sure they were ready to come off. Rev.Dice has been great with my aftercare - I've been sending him pics and hes been tweaking the aftercare where needed. I'm going back to running tomorrow, but I'll wait until the scab/peel phase is 100% done before going back to swimming/karate/jujitsu - I'm sure nobody wants to get covered in my scabs! I'm like pigpen right now - skin and scabs all in a cloud around me...
  6. Dunno what happened today, but the scabs all started to fall off all at the same time. I didn't pick at them - just my usual washing routine - I have a spray bottle of weak antibacterial soap (20% dial gold / 80% water) and I spray the tattoo until it it is wet enough to start to drip/run, then I spray my hand until it's soaked. Then I wipe VERY softly with the goal of not disturbing the scabs/peeling skin. Then I rinse by cupping lukewarm water in my hand and pour it down the tattoo to rinse the soap off - takes about 10 handfuls. Finally I blot dry with paper towel. I do this 3 or 4 times a day. Every other wash, I moisturize with lubriderm - rub it in trying to not disturb the scab/peeling skin, and then blot up the excess. Today each time I wash I've found loads of tattoo-color scabs - they've been flaking off during my extremely gentle washing, so I guess it's their time. Yesterday I could only see a couple of missing scabs - today about half the scabs came off and the rest are hanging by a thread. Last night: Now: (The skin looks red here - it's the lighting - when you look at the skin with a human eye there's no redness at all)
  7. That was taken right before the morning wash / moisturizer.
  8. The lighter areas (red/rose) are peeling like bad sunburn but they don't hurt at all. The darker areas (black/stems) are all scabbed over. I'm letting the peeling/scabs come off naturally and I've been wearing workout shirts since the tat was done so clothing doesn't rub on it. The artist said I'd have to avoid swimming/running/martial arts for a week. I still have two days of healing before then so I'll send him a pic and get his feedback before I get back into those activities.
  9. Ah, that's it. Looked to me like Obama was introducing people to the man following him - using a flat palm rather than a pointed finger out of politeness. I guess some people mistook that as a series of rebuffed handshake of something?
  10. What is the GIF about? Wait, did he miss the first guy?
  11. You said "Obama To Transfer The Blind Sheik!!" That statement is false. Why did you post a false statement?
  12. He deserved it. The no-camera rule is ubiquitous. Now, could they have given him another chance? Sure, maybe, but he sure didn't look like his was backing down. Could they have restrained him from entering the courtroom without using the taser? Sure, but that doesn't mean he was less likely to get hurt. All in all, he was entering a controlled space in violation of the rules of that space and needed to be stopped. I can see some folks arguing it was over the top, but I personally don't have a problem with it in this case.

    I've been more than understanding. I was going to get the Samsung Galaxy S3 but my friend and his wife have them and she;s been having similar issues to me (corrupted images, crashing) and his started getting flaky once the put ICS on it. I'm done with pulling my phone out and having it crash/reboot while I'm dialling.

  18. You have zero credibility for one reason... You took rumors from right-leaning websites and then came to the conclusion that they were true and set your thread title to indicate that this is an absolute fact. Just another example of a politically prejudiced person perfectly willing to say things that are not true in order to try to influence opinions to match your own. Who cares about truth? Not you, apparently.
  19. If it was a real number it would come back to a Mastercard issued by HSBC Group but the account portion fails LUHN verification.

  21. Of course. And my name, address, ssn, pin, three-digit code etc. I offered my bank account numbers and other credit card details too, to avoid seeming unhelpful. But when be asked if he could come to my place and slide his tube steak into my sister, i had to put my foot down. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
  22. A computer-generated voice that said "Hello, this is Mastercard. Your card has been deactivated, to reactivate press 1". Went direct to VM because i have a call blocker app. Do people actually fall for stupid crap like this? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

    It's a hypothetical question from a former law student.

    I know they don't WANT to, and they may even have a contractual obligation to keep it until a given date - I'm just wondering what the LEGAL basis for that is. I paid for it, it's mine. Unless they can show some contractual obligation i didn't know I agreed to that the ownership of the device does not transfer to me until a given date and time...
