So before I say anything else I want all you damn kids off my lawn...

..good....ahem.

So what does windows 10 look like? One of the reasons I have held on to windows 7 is because it looks how I expect a windows running PC looks. It's comforting, it's something I know how to effortlessly work, and it doesn't frighten me with a huge learning curve like windows 8 did. I fear change when it comes to PCs because they are literally a tool and a appliance to me and if I want frills and fancy apps I'll just grab my tablet (or PS3 controller).

from what I have seen it is kind of a bland looking version of how windows always looks but is that just a default or can I expect it to be how they all look.

I have also seen some shots where they still managed to intergrate what I call "1950s times square"

See the resemblance?:

It is a 95 skyline, didn't look super into it just had my brain turning on some options

I'm with Jewtoys, The Skyline is actually on a do not import list from canada for vehicles under 25years old.

once it hits 25 years it's fine but I don't think you want to be importing an skyline in 2020.

My sources (actually, that's just the first 5 results of a google search for "in how many states is adultery illegal?"). Care to show me yours? Also, I think it's important (since you are into legal stuff) that we define exactly what we are speaking of here, so here's this.

Do you have access to westlaw?

It's kind of a moot point here, because even in states with a purely civil regime injunctive relief is still possible.

Other than arguing with me about what's states adultery is criminally punishable I'm not sure what your point is.

To paraphrase an old airplane adage: there is nothing more useless than the speed bump behind you.

Aside from bens comment, I don't think anybody is objecting to the speed bumps, just that they aren't marked clearly and visibly to act as a deterrent without potentially causing harm. That speed bump you were just surprised by? Yeah if there isn't another one looming in the distance then it past done and mostly forgotten. The value isn the speed bump is as a visible threatening deterrent to cause people to slow down, if the don't see it and don't slow and hit it and nothing happens to their car then what did it do?

I do have to side with Ben on this though. Growing up I had lots of friends hit by cars, some of them killed. The earliest one I can remember was a classmate in 4th grade. I've been hit by cars plenty of times on bicycles, walking, etc...and honestly I can't think of a single instance where a speed bump would have prevented the crash or even remotely helped the situation. But I grew up in NYC where traffic is a way of life and not a mild inconvenience to the homeowner.

I did get winged by a 1986 full size Buick station wagon for sleeping with a friend's ex girlfriend in college. Maybe if they put speed bumps on the approach to her ass I wouldn't have been hit by that car....I just don't know logistically how you would do it. Is there a homeowners association for asses? How would I have gotten them involved?

In 21 states, adultery is a crime (some sources I checked said 23, but it's the internet).

 

In related news, in 50 states, 21 is less than half of 50, which makes is decidedly less than "most".

It's a "crime" in almost all states but 21 have punishments for it. The ones that don't have punishments still have it as grounds for divorce depending how the law is written. E.g. Interference of marriage is a law against the outside party with sometimes criminal but mostly civil penalties. The states that don't at all usually have their marriage laws written differently due to quirks in the state law.

You'd have a fucking field day looking into establishedmen.com (same company) which is high-dollar borderline human trafficking.

I am curious where this allegation comes from. Aside from the original article specifically calling it that and a prostitution service as if it was fact (nice journalistic integrity Gawker Media Empire) I haven't seen any other source for that.

I'm not saying it isn't facilitating human trafficking, it may very well, I was just curious as to the source of that particular bit of information.

Here is the thing I can't wrap my head around:

In most states, infidelity is actually a crime. 21 states actually have fines and jail time assigned to it (how often it is enforced is another matter).

In all states copyright infringement is also a crime (because it is a federal law http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#506).

When the RIAA sued Napster under copyright, the argument they made was the file sharing site facilitated criminal activity (copyright infringement). Part of the case resolution was an injunction to keep Napster from operating.

Ashley Madison has been sued plenty. Fake profiles, promoting prostitution, and yes facilitating illegal activity. And yet, no injunction shutting it down.

it's odd. that's all.

It looks like the HOA owns that road and if that's the case they can basically do whatever they want as it becomes private land.

 

I was on your side til I saw which street it was, the houses come basically right up against the street.

do they actually own it (as in it is a fully private road in a restricted access community)? if so is the city enforcing it's easement for access? Or is it still a public road where the HOA as taken over maintenance and enforcement rights. I don't think the city can force diverting traffic down a private road unless they have existing rights to access.

HOA's are still bound by trespassing signage and enforcement and all basic duties of care regarding the identification of hazards. If the speed bumps are as aggressive as being claimed, then all it takes is one suit for property damage to someone's car (or worse injury to a person) for a shit storm to descend on them.

I like them a lot but they need to step up their game on interiors....

They need to have a "plaid" option for the interior on cars equipped with Ludicrous speed option.

I know for a fact there are many women unhappy in their marriage. If they can cheat anonymously, they are more than happy to. It's always the risk of being caught or having anyone else know that makes them worry. I am aware of multiple women on Ashley Madison and other sites looking for just this type of arrangement.

 

When I worked in field service we (field engineers) would travel to our company headquarters for training. There were a lot of girls who worked in the call center that we knew from scheduling and dealing with customers together. When the guys came in for training and were only there for a few days it was a free for all. The girls knew the guys weren't local and couldn't expose them, they'd never run into them on accident, no expectation of anything more than what it was. This was the case for every company I worked for that had the same field engineer/call center arrangement. It's human nature.

Again shocked I am agreeing with Mensan here, but just to add to it....it's not just women looking to cheat but there are women in this world who want to be a mistress or want a casual fling with a married man because it presents less "attachment" while assisting in funding a lifestyle. these aren't married women looking for different married men, but rather single women who wanted a good time Charlie that they could walk away from when the dinners and the drinks ran out.

When I used to work in bars in hells kitchen a long time ago I used to see plenty of these types of arrangements. People tend to think "kept person"/sugar daddy relationship when they think of mistress, but really it is seldom the case. Sometimes it's the causal nature and the idea you are doing something "wrong" that is the draw itself.

It's a little sexist that our society still thinks of most women as always wanting to be in a relationship and wanting to be married, and somehow that it is not a desirable thing to be on your own as a woman.

That being said, I have no fucking clue what goes on on Ashley Madison's site other than it is a dating site for married people.

Don't speed. Don't cut through neighborhoods. Problem solved.

Here is an idea, never go anywhere ever except where you are supposed to go. Point A to B in the fastest route. Don't even look out your side windows at other's neighborhoods. ever. In fact, don't leave home, sell your car, work from home, and have your groceries delivered.

 

I disagree, with this, cause all there going to do is speed, then slow down for the bump, then speed right up.

If the intent is to reduce speed then it is is still more effective at night to have them marked than not having them marked. Under your example they would still be seeing them and slowing down twice rather than just running at speed and not slowing down at all.

Also it opens up either the city or the HOA (and whomever put them up) to liability for damage and injury, where as having them marked wouldn't. Anytime you create a situation where someone can sue you it's not efficient.

So you're in an affluent area of town where you believe it's likely the residents are frustrated and wish it was a private drive....aka don't want you using their obscure roads as a cut through...and rightfully so because you're doing 35 in a 25 and not likely alone in doing so and you're the one who is pissed? Even 25 on a road that's labeled 15mph....

 

Just looking from it from the other side man, becauseI live in a very quiet subdivision and I have zero problem approaching people going 35mph down the street and telling them to slow their ass down. It's 25mph for a reason. Kids, private homes, etc. It's not a secondary road or main thoroughfare.

 

Shitty what happened, but it doesn't sound like it hurt your car and honestly....you won't likely be cutting through using their street again

the issue isn't whether the speedbumps should or shouldn't be there - the issue is really were they visible and properly marked (which they were probably not).

Having visible marked speed bumps makes them effective at serving their purpose as being a deterrent to speeding. People see it, they slow down so as not to damage anything, and everybody wins.

Having unmarked "surprise" speed bumps decreases their efficiency, potentially causes damage to the property of a person who has a right to use the road, and generally helps no one. Plus it is most likely illegal

There is no argument you can make that justifies an "invisible" speed bump at night. none. good day sir.

...It was loud, bumpy, jerky,... and hot as hell in the summer...

you've pretty much described every wrangler ever.

I actually agree with you, but I understand that Kevin doesn't need my work, or yours. I choose to go to Kevin because I like him and I want it done right. If someone isn't OK with how Kevin operates, then going somewhere else is best for both them, and Kevin. Having a review like this is also not bad because it gives others an expectation so they aren't surprised.

 

Either way, Kevin will still have plenty of work.

surprisingly we both agree.....will now patiently await hell freezing over.

busy shops usually have communication issues, it is an industry problem. Shops that do good work usually are busy so....

I agree it might help him to have this in managing expectations.

I've gotten the P0455 (gross evap leak) twice and checked the gas cap, did the ol' Vaseline on the gas cap trick.

 

Now it has become a p0496 (Evap emission high purge flow fault)

 

I've got no idea because these codes are so generic and could be anything.

 

It's on my car, 2011 SAAB 9-5 turbo4 (direct injected if that helps)

Let's start with a basic approach - the code is not "generic", it is tied to a specific sensor and a specific condition that may have multiple causes. The code is thrown by the fuel tank pressure sensor showing vacuum draw on the evap system when the evap purge solenoid is closed and the vent solenoid is open.

So generally there may be a problem with your EVAP system. Start with a visual inspection and look for any split lines, disconnected lines, breaks in the wiring, etc... If you don't see any move to diagnostics and test the individual components.

Do you have any other symptoms? rough idle?

To test the purge valve disconnect the hose from it to the Throttle Body at the purge valve and plug the end of it. if the idle changes (gets smoother) then the purge valve is going bad. Also check the ends when you remove the hose as they might have cracked.

A quick google search indicates that the purge valve is a pretty common failure linked to this code and it is less than $100 to replace yourself. here is a good writeup on how to replace it:
