Especially since the drivers one gets stuck halfway on the track. poo poo, I wish you had told me last weekend. There was a nice BF 323 in the local yard that we walked by while pulling seatbelts for a different car. After 50% off day it will probably be picked clean even though it's about to get snowed on.

Too bad it's a four-stroke or you could get really crazy.

I feel like the Mad Max game was originally designed as a survival game and gradually transitioned to a vehicular combat game over what must have been a brutal series of publisher interventions.

Wow guys, I live in Canada.  We don't have enough doctors because our licensing is really strict so there are a bunch of guys who come from India and are like "well let me work on people" but we don't, at least not until they update their credentials. You have to wait a long time to get a family doctor (what the Brits call a "GP") and once they retire or die you have to wait again. Emergency room lines are very long sometimes. I have waited a few hours to be seen for non-life-threatening emergencies while constantly being bumped to the back of the line while people with life threatening emergencies come in and are seen immediately. This irritates some people, especially parents of small children, who assume that a kid who feels bad and is sick is a life-threatening emergency. Occasionally this fucks up sometimes and the person handling triage doesn't process a person thoroughly enough to determine that something is life-threatening; people have died because they complained about a stomach ache that was actually substantial internal bleeding. I assume this happens everywhere and won't get fixed until we get handheld Tricorders, which we should immediately start work on. Throughout my childhood, youth and early adulthood, right wingers were constantly trying to either demolish/defund the public system or go to a two-tiered system where private health care firms would poach all the best doctors away from the public system. There's been an odd pause on this rhetoric for awhile, possibly because we watch a lot of American media and the Obamacare transition has made Canadians aware of what alternatives look like. In my province we used to have a flat tax health care contribution levy ($528/yr individuals, $1056/yr families), but we got rid of it in 2009 because employers had grandfathered HR policies forcing them to cover it, and we always do what is best for our employers. Then this year, the Tories here threatened to put it back in because had to Get Serious About Bad Oil Prices (along with a series of other new taxes and user fees, some of which have stuck) so we turfed them for the first provincial government change in 44 years. Our new guys are a populist-centre-left party that is turning up accounting nightmare after accounting nightmare and failed privatization project after failed privatization project while at the same time trying to produce a budget that works in view of the oil prices. Sadly because of the nature of Canadian government almost none of our thief politicians see prison or the rope, and go to rejoin the single-geared right-wing think tanks they were spawned in (regardless of what party they served in). There are some services that are vastly oversubscribed (the Tories kept promising and cancelling the promise of a new cancer centre when they needed votes, it is now actually going in) and other services that are poorly administered (small town doctors are hard to find so we keep trying to import them from abroad and covering part of the bill to bring them up to Canadian spec, but they just move to a big city as soon as they can). Overall I think it is an OK system, but I know that the Swedes and probably other Scandinavian countries have much better management of things like mental health, addictions, family counselling, elder care and other "soft" medical things that help make your society more harmonious. Those kind of conversations aren't even on the table in modern Canada because we just look at the price tag instead of fixing our earning potential.

The Fulvia V4 is a mind boggler to comprehend, and it managed to do a V4 with only one head casting. How, you ask? It only has two cams. How, you ask? Each cam has a "reach around" to the other bank's intake or exhaust valves with a giant rocker. Pop some Advil and take a look: http://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/cohort-classic-lancia-fulvia-last-chance-to-try-something-really-new/  GAZE UPON YOUR RUINED WORLD Aren't there still a lot of V4 bikes out there, or have they pretty much all been replaced by big-titty V-twins and thumpers?

InitialDave posted:How much poo poo would you catch for a car that was completely neutered and absolutely, cheat-free, emissions compliant like the EPA want - but an OBD plugin would give you full power, and while that's totally naughty and not what you should be doing, ok, it was guaranteed that there would be zero warranty shenanigans if anyone chose to use it? Individuals using it would be prosecuted under federal law, probably individually by the EPA, if it was blatant enough to be widespread. It would also bring down a heinous, perhaps permanent regime of making engine modifications illegal.

Sigma X posted:Cray has been doing wierdo furniture/art computers for as long as they've been around. For example, the Cray-1 and XMP was built with a couch attached to the side of each half-tower, the Cray-2 had plexi sides and illumination so you could see the memory boards, the Cray-3 got a plexi, liquid-filled box on the top...the YMP8 got more couches. They had a few "boring" systems, especially during the SG era, but they're their own company again and getting back into the display stuff. The Connection Machines also had what I would say is a pretty kickass aesthetic sense.  Yeah bitch you get pulled on by an Arduino, don't step.
