well as of right now I have 2 As in machine design and space systems, a B in modeling methods, and thermo ive got a good chance to bring my grade up (it's currently a 45, 1st two tests are garbage but should be very easy to improve on, and he's dropping the worst 2 of 5; i should have no problem improving on that, and under his scale 71 is the threshold for a B (which was not the case until last thursday)).

I've got a good chance of going 3.5 this semester.

Carchat, people who merge into a 65 zone while doing 35 should have their licenses revoked.

Related, my brakes don't have enough pressure to lock up from highway speeds with full pedal depression. I should probably fix that.

It would be great if the lovely ebay site could cope with this offer.

It either wont take the code due to 'technical issues', or when you press refresh enough times for it to take the code without erroring out, paypal then becomes unavailable due to 'technical issues' and any other payment choices invalidate the discount

I sent them some lovely feedback via the link on the page after it got past 22:00 and the voucher told me I couldn't apply it because it was not valid.

After clicking submit on the feedback it returned me to the checkout page with the voucher enabled and paypal not greyed out and let me submit a basket with the discount applied!

I bought some chromecasts. I would also have bought more poo poo but have just spent 20 mins taking it in and out of my basket trying to get the lovely checkout to work and it wasn't there when i got lucky.

How much do you guys pay for health insurance stuff? I just signed up and it is $42/wk for health, dental, vision, short and long term disability. I have always been either on my parents' plan or through the union so I am pretty naive to this poo poo.

That's decent.

I pay around $280/month for medical alone (before subsidy). HMO with a $500 deductible.

Fleetwood75 and I used to do history threads on particular cars. I am planning on doing something to cover the shutting down of car production in Australia, starting off with Ford Australia. Ford closes down in October, who started building cars in Australia in 1925.

Bear in mind that is based on the average wage.

Obviously if you earn more, you pay more, and there will come a point where you're paying more for the NHS than a very good private healthcare policy would run you, as is always the way with a taxation-funded model for services.

After the subsidy I'm paying about $85/month. I could have gone with a cheaper plan, but given the issues I have, it's a bit less painful to go with a low deductible plan.
