  1. If you don't have a front load washer and dryer, where will the wife store junk?
  2. I am 4 years into the Nolan N104, so I am also going to be updating my modular helmet soon. The Neotec is near the top of my list. I recently came across this helmet: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/kabuto-ibuki-helmet I love Revzilla's review, and I believe that they may price match. Here is the same helmet with a lower price: https://www.2wheel.com/nav/street/helmets/kabuto?gclid=Cj0KEQiAsP-2BRCFl4Lb2NTJttEBEiQAmj2tbc-qkRULw8rLohGAOxo7cho7lWcGjlWr3o4Vtb3Vp0QaArd58P8HAQ Or if they have it in your size: http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/schuberth-c3-helmet#overview_tab
  3. I don't know if anyone that hasn't changed companies for better pay or opportunities. That's what's great about a free market economy. In today's technologically advanced society, market rates of different careers is easy to attain. It is also advantageous to keep contacts with old co-workers and friends from college. This helps to keep an understanding of the market place.
  4. The creepiness is inversely proportional to cup size. The "actors" aren't really related.
  5. Companies do pay the market wage. If their market value was higher, they would have an incentive to move to the higher paying job.
  6. Tonik: The Hypocrite Hunter!
  7. It doesn't get any more fair than everybody paying the same rate.
  8. A new flat tax on revenues for corporations (no deductions) and a flat tax on individuals would make thinks way more simple and fair.
  9. An inefficient organization vs inefficient organization? http://www.nationalreview.com/article/331704/medicares-efficiency-robert-moffit-alyene-senger http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2011/06/30/the-myth-of-medicares-low-administrative-costs/#5ba63b3f5338 http://www.cato.org/blog/private-insurance-more-efficient-medicare-far Also, private insurance cannot enforce its will on the populace in the same manner as Uncle Sam.
  10. Is private insurance less efficient than the VA?
  11. Increasing government bureaucracy and intervention into the economy slows economic growth. The democratic-socialist & socialist economies of the world tend to have higher unemployment rates because of this. If you want increased economic growth, you must minimize the inefficiencies that are borne out of the bureaucracy.
  12. It doesn't matter how much you pay in taxes. Nobody can waste money like the government. We are 7 years into a global economic expansion, yet we are still running a deficit. Government spending is not constrained by GPD growth of any other real constraints.
  13. Neither party really likes to follow the constitution, unless it is politically convenient.
  14. I'll watch it (if I can find it when they are done ).
  15. Not exactly the same thing, but I have come across this issue in a few magazines: http://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/will-the-government-make-working-on-your-vehicle-illegal
  16. The EPA has redefined pollution to include dirt (silt). They have also reclassified water ways of the US to include farm fields. Please remember that the Clean Water Act was passed in 1972. They are out of control.
  17. That's because you have a drink holder. Tank bags rule. I keep a water blatter and snacks in mine. It minimizes stops to either bathroom break or refueling.
  18. Hopefully they keep Anthony doing the reviews and the Common Thread. I wish Iron Pony would improve their website, similar to Revzilla. I like to support the local stores. However, their website isn't very good
  19. I have twins. Here is some advise that was given to me: 1. No matter what, when one twin wakes up, wake up the other one. Make sure that they stay on the same eating, sleeping, and shitting schedule. I have heard horror stories from people that didn't live by this rule. 2. Get rest before they are born (I understand that you can't bank sleep). You will not be able to take turns on the night feedings and diaper changes in the first few months. My twins were born during peak construction season, and it was months before I could get 6 hours of sleep in a night. 3. Learn the art of being calm. At times, you are going to be without anyone else around, and both babies will be screaming and inconsolable at the same time. (I actually have a daughter 17 months older, so I got this a number of times in triplicate). I use the art of proactivity from Steven Covey to understand that at those times there was nothing that I could do. As long as everyone had clean diapers and were fed, there was nothing that I can do. All I could do was laugh about it. 4. In Columbus, there is a parents of twins club. If there is one near you, I recommend joining it. You will meet interesting people that can give you anecdotes and their experiences. In Columbus, they have sales with used items. Good forbid that everything doesn't match, because they will fight over anything that doesn't match. 5. Get ready for everyone to tell you that you have your hands full. I literally heard that every time that I went to the store with the kids. 6. Enjoy them. They won't be young forever. Good Luck!
