There never was a vote to make it legal or illegal. And it was widely hailed as a great idea at the time. It was considered the best way for large cities to dig out from under the literal mountains of horse shit they were drowning in and that was polluting the ground water and killing children and adults alike from disease. Plus it gave people far more freedom to move about faster and father than they had by foot, horse, or train. Like it or not, the internal combustion engine has given you, personally, everything good and bad that you have at this very moment in time.

But, like most great human ideas, there are always unintended consequences no one sees until they happen.

Openscad is fine for pretty basic one item things. It's not so good for complex designs like the model steam engines I sometimes amuse myself with. And it's sure not capable in a commercial setting.

But if you enjoy openscad and writing code, more power to you and enjoy what you are doing with it!

Perhaps the best line ever uttered in any movie. Rowdy Roddy Piper maybe a B movie actor at best, but he was meant to play that role in that movie.

I have often wondered: Who wore a kilt best. Bruce Campbell or Rowdy Roddy Piper. Campbell was a Sharp Dressed Man in his kilt for sure. But Piper wrestled in one for years-- it was his trade mark garb.

If I'm going to see an ad, I do prefer sponsor ads over the injected YT ads. At least I can hope the content creators are getting paid directly for the ad.

As a father who raised 4 daughters, you try and stop a young woman from wearing jewelry, perfumes, and even makeup. That's a fight you WILL lose every time.

You should see the dating scene. A young Amish boy holding hands with a young Native walking down a hallway, (or vice versa). It ain't right I tell you.

I've switched from DuckDuckGo to Ghostery Private search. I've been happier with the results than DDG.

I don't think Melania cares. If she did. she would have sued him long ago. She got what she wanted out of Trump in other ways and is still getting it.

IF you run across a firearm on a patient, (which is really isn't a common thing), it gets placed in a lockbox and then locked into a "safe room". Chances are good there be a cop there in a short order anyway due to the patient having been shot by a gun.

The easiest way to solve the editorial issue for a lot headlines like this is to simply ask a teenager to read it. Their reaction will tell you if it's correct or not.......

The guard rails are pretty good enough as is. When you hear of something like this it's very often caused by lack of maintenance/poor installation/assembly. There is a guy on youtube that has videos of a whole bunch of guardrails that are simply unsafe because they are missing bolts or were assembled incorrectly.

And remember - guard rails are meant to slow you down enough to try and prevent a worse situation rather than always turning you back into the roadway to create a larger accident with other traffic or stop you completely.

You may wish to consult a Urologist about that. (Seriously)

If I had done so earlier in my life, I might not have needed 3 prostate surgeries and now I need to self cath 2 to 4 times a day. And I can tell you, needing a cath will really put a crimp in your social life............
