Yes, there is a difference between murder and manslaughter, for instance. But both are rights-violations.

That's my point. Say you infect someone and make them sick. If you meant to do so, that's especially bad, but that you did so is a rights violation whether you meant to or not.

Perhaps you may have to pay my medical bills, but the law understands the difference between accident and malicious intent (usually). If you intentionally ran me over you would likely get charged with a criminal act and serve time above the financial restitution.

Grippy tires won't help when the front end gets lite. Zora Duntov once said that the '63 Corvette had just enough lift to be a bad airplane. ]i[

Reminds me of how cold it got and you had to sleep with 3 dogs to keep from freezing to death. I least that's what I heard.

There's a website that gives the location of the cameras. Not sure if it's just Flock or all brands
Just Google it.

All good and they hit the two major News highlights of the week. The only other highlight could be the Venezuela oil deal unless Trump made another score today.

Canadian geese are morphing into Donald Ducks?
Me the dino found that to be just a hoot.
The story of Dolly Parton's rise from an extremely humble Appalachian childhood celebrates our capitalism.
Does anyone really give tiniest flip about what any member of the obsolete British does in this day and age?

Avoided the really horrific news this week.
Lets just laugh with Trump/at Carney; then say a proper goodby to Dolly,
wave 'good reddens' to Harry & Megan to finally call it a week.

Using up the last bit of tread before buying new or, perhaps, making homemade racing slicks! or even, "Stress testing" the mechanicals!!!

(goto admit, those are GREAT Answers . . .)

Convertible or
hardtop?

Looking at it you would think it just came off of the showroom....

My Jag is old school - I still run the bias ply....

Okay. I get "the car in the pie" one now. The key word to make the mental association was "childish", as I remember an older teen "doing doughnuts" or "cutting cookies" in the empty, grassy local stadium parking lot. Being of engineering mindset, i asked myself "What is the purpose of this?"

Not sure what this is. But, it cracked me up...

The "corn dog" reminds me "Three Dog Night" is playing at a venue in Kansas soon. One of the original players too!

Everyone is an expert on vaccines and on autism. I dedicated a couple decades to reading everything I could get my hands on regarding this. Almost everyone is wrong. Imagine what that feels like. I was even IN A STUDY, firsthand, and watched the PhDs at this university cook the books and put out a false narrative when the data clearly showed a link between thimerisol and autism. It has been a crazy ride, my friends.

I have no hope that our society will learn anything on this. Opinions and politics are dug in like a tick. Did you know that almost nobody needs a tetanus shot since the automobile was invented? If you don’t know why, you’re in a huge club. Did you know that very few who get polio ever show any symptoms? That’s something worth studying, IMO. Did you ever wonder why areas with open sewers struggle with polio while countries with backflow prevention and chlorinated pools don’t? Here’s my personal favorite…Did you notice that AFL (the modern polio-like, really scary paralysis) almost exclusively affects 5 and 6 year olds at the beginning of kindergarten and 1st grade. Of course you don’t. The news is silent on that one.

Best wishes…

No. If I run you over because I wasn't looking as a I backed up, yet I am liable.

"...but anyone who infects another is committing a violation of that person's rights."

"...but anyone who infects another intentionally is committing a violation of that person's rights." There, fixed it.

Tire tech is a lot better these days, 200 mile per hour plus grippy tires are found on the Mustang GTD and other hyper cars.
I ran Michelins on the z with koni shocks and 1 inch stabilizer bars.
The mini needs that with much bigger brake rotors inside the 17 inch wheels.

"Getting light" is the best way to describe the Jag - did not modify it at all but always thought that with that straight 6 4.2L going up the front it would have stayed on the road. And it really held well to the road - until about 120 or so... And then the grip just seemed to go away.
Handling at that point got .... interesting. But up to that point you felt you had total control.

My Z car was the same way, front end got light at 130, had to put on an air foil.
The mini has an airdam style lower front end with an extension under that. At speed it sucks the front end down.

Measles deaths are rising because the gross population consists of a passel of weaker wimps. The medical, food, media and education industries have been chipping away at individual health for decades and the result consists of a population of individuals with weak immune systems, weak cardio ... soft, limp, obese, frightened wastrels.

Gee, I had polio, smallpox and measles vaccines, and never got those diseases. Got chicken pox and mumps as a kids. Whatever.
Got the COVID vaccine and still got COVID, because it isn’t a real vaccine, and who cares about COVID? It is a silly flu.


So what is the point? Smallpox, measles and polio are almost gone. That is good. Anecdotes are stupid. Attempting to spread ignorance is bad, but common. More common among the left, but here we’re are spewing nonsense from TX.

Good for you. So what?

I am not advocating a law. People may choose for themselves, but anyone who infects another is committing a violation of that person's rights. it's like hitting them on the head.

That you may choose does not mean it is wise or good to choose irrationally. You may choose to be a heavy gambler, but reason would not advise that.

The irrational anti-vaccine movement is now starting to cause serious harm.

This is Galt's Gulch, inspired by Ayn Rand's work. Rand advocated rationality.
