Don't forget the reconfiguration of the track, an extra ~45 hp of the GenV, and different gearing, plus improved tires. In the previous record run he was bouncing off the rev limiter in places because the car wasn't geared very well for that track. There were simulations done with different gearing at the time that showed improvements. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

How do you implement a system that weeds out the "lazy" from the people who are actually deserving whole reducing cost and not growing government? It's an honest question, because in other similar instances, like mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients, have cost the government more money and require more personnel to implement.

Yeah, I get that. My comment was also a bit tongue-in-cheek by suggesting he should be motivated by your comments to bootstrap himself out of "intellectual poverty." Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

I didn't read his message this way at all, but I do think he's giving you some intellectual "tough love" in the hopes that you'll get motivated, bootstrap yourself and read more into the issues you seem interested in understanding deeper. There is a wealth of information out there, ready for the taking. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

That's great rhetoric, but like Jeff Sessions's belief that DARE was successful at deterring drug use, or mandatory minimum sentences deter crime, or the rest of theTrump administrations belief that automation/robotics won't affect the American job market for 50-100 years, or that climate change isn't real, or that trickle-down economics work, all of this is contrary to what the facts actually prove. But facts don't matter anymore... Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Holding people accountable for their actions sounds great, but when it comes to sex and pregnancy it just doesn't work. That child will become the burden of the state and cost way more in the long run. To me this just sounds like more of the stereotypical Republican ideal of caring about the birth of a child but nothing about the quality of life (or medical care) it will have afterwards. Access to contraception prevents unwanted pregnancy, prevents abortion, reduces to burden on the state (ultimately saving money), yet you're completely against it? To me, this is part of basic care that should be available to all and your employer shouldn't be able to fire you over your use of birth control. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

See attached image. This is a slippery slope, because someone with a condition that can be managed or treated with lifelong medicine can live a long, normal, relatively healthy life (diabetes, for example...heck even AIDS is treatable now) but it will be costly. On the flip side you have terminal conditions where treatment is extending life. This could be by years, months, or days and it's controversial as to where you draw the line. Use the current case in UK as an example. The courts ruled that the plug should be pulled but the parents don't want to give up, and you have conservatives crying about death panels, yet in their plan this child wouldn't even have received this care in the first place. On the other hand, my friend lived for 4 years after he was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer. This was time with his kids that he would have never had otherwise and I see this treatment as worthwhile, even though it was expensive. The more we treat terminal cases, the more we learn, and maybe someday it won't be terminal anymore. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Easier said than done and proven not to work. Since Texas slashed family planning funding and defunded Planned Parenthood teen pregnancy has gone up 3.4% and teen abortions increased 3.1%. In one county alone abortion rose 191% in the two years following the funding cuts. Access to contraception prevents unwanted pregnancies and abortions. Abortion and teen pregnancy rates are currently at their lowest and access to contraception is a major contributor to that. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

There is ralk that its a publicity stunt to help launch his new album, which is politically themed. One can only hope... Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Ah, yes! Because abstinence has been proven to work! Keep in mind too, there are religious right wing believers that think birth control pills are the same as abortion, which is another reason they want Planned Parenthood defunded. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The insurance company we use at work already does this. People who have better biometric screening results or participate in healthy activities get a credit on their monthly premiums. You pay more if you smoke too. The larger issue (in my opinion) is how do we guarantee ourselves (and others) quality, long term care in case of disease, terminal illness/condition, severe injury, etc. In the past, when something bad happened to you insurance would drop you, you'd be stuck with exorbitant costs, and most likely file for bankruptcy. With ACA they cannot do that and we all end up paying more as a result. If I have a child that's born with a lifelong condition, that is manageable with care, should that spell certain financial ruin for my family, or should he/she be denied health insurance for life? If I get cancer tomorrow should I have to choose between treatment and bankrupting my family? In some cases hospitals won't even treat the patient UNLESS they have insurance, no matter how much cash they have. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Prices went up, but the solution is not to blow up the system and give massive tax cuts to the rich, while raising rates even more on the middle class. The individual mandate is an important provision for keeping costs down. If only sick people pay into the system premiums will skyrocket/it would be unaffordable. For the same reason car insurance companies need good, accident free drivers, health insurance companies need healthy people to pay into the system. In 2016 the deficit totaled $590 billion. That's not $1 trillion, and even if it was, it's not all Obamacare. The national debt went up $1.4 trillion in 2016, and $75 billion of that was "because payments to Social Security, Medicare, and Affordable Care Act recipients along with the government's civilian and military retirees were greater during this time frame than FICA and other tax collections." So yea, even $75 billion isn't completely from Obamacare alone. Pretty sure this was Kirk talking about Medicare patients, not specifically Obamacare. I'm not saying Obamacare is perfect, but let's work with the real facts. The major problem with healthcare is cost, which exists with or without Obamacare. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Also, not only is this email completely damning to Trump Jr., and more, but IMHO this development will completely kill the Trumpcare bill. Political support for Trump within his own party was already starting to wane over the 4th (with several speaking out negatively about the bill), and now even fewer will want to be associated with his agenda.

What shocks me is that he only tweeted them so he could beat the NYT to the punch. But now that admits to his base that what the NYT is reporting is legit, and he can't cry "fake news." Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Any insight to how they handled it, and how you helped them through? Amy long term affects, bumps in the road, etc. Thanks Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Part of his apology is also over the other stuff he has posted to Reddit, like pictures of all CNN reporters and calling out Jewish ones by putting a star of David next to them. The threats to reporters lives after Trump posted that GIF is sickening. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The bro that created the original Trump/CNN GIF has issued an apology letter. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Kirk, thanks you for sharing. Maybe I missed it, but how old were your kids when the divorce began? Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Also, Mark Trostle took delivery of his Destroyer Gray Hellcat Wide Body last week and has been posting pics on his Instagram. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

You mean the T/A? Or the stock SRT392 hood? They're basically the same but the T/A has hood pins. The Scat Pack has the R/T hood. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

It may also help with height. Someone once told me that the NAV antenna is offset on the Escalade/Yukon/etc is because putting it in the middle of the roof would put them over height to shipping. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

SRT's are made to be abused. They used to run 24 hours at Nelson Ledges as a validation test, changing nothing but brakes/fluids at scheduled intervals. Not sure where they run it since Nelson closed. Obviously modifications will be handled much the same, but shouldn't care about actual racing or how many times you launch the car.

Considering they last revamped that plant in, like 2004, if not before, I think they did all right. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

The widebody Hellcat should be a better street car than a Demon, and more suited to a twisty back road or road course. I will wait for reviews to see how grippy the Pirelli's are, but with a capable tire it should perform pretty well. The Demon will out brake a Viper ACR (60-0 in 97 feet) and pull 1G on the skidpad. The widebody Hellcat is available in a manual and has the bigger Brembo package. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk
