Take it to a shop and get a wheel alignment done. Costs about $50-70 where I am.

Oh wow, look at that! Just went to the Audi website. I can get a 2010. How stupid is that selling a car of the future in 2009...

Hmm, Honda, looks like I can buy a 2010 there too.

Volkwagon? Yup, 2010 models again. And it's only 2009....


These are the cars that are going to be sold for the 2010 model year. How is that difficult to understand?

And Nathan_French, what car have you designed? I'd like to see it. Why do you all make such stupid comments? Quite frankly, Audi has some butt ugly cars for the 2010 lineup. Then again, you didn't exactly design an Audi, nor did any US member here design any Ford, Chevy, or Dodge vehicle.

LOL. It makes you feel lazy? How about me, I've been sitting on my butt for 2 weeks since I've been back!

Sheesh, sitting on your lazy butt for 2 whole weeks after that ordeal? I once walked about 8 miles of railroad with a friend of mine while smoking joints for a few hours. That was back around 1992 and I'm still recovering... :melting:

I'm just LMAO over all the gravity talk. Gravity has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Tristan, Maggot, any of you engineering mathematical geniuses, can one of you guys grab a calculator for us and calculate at what distance from each person a string would touch and wrap around the earth's surface (assuming smooth and perfectly spherical) when the 2 people are holding the string at say, a height of 4 feet while standing at some distance apart?

Quote from AjRose :

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

Wow, what an adventure.

I unzipped all the photo files and watched them in a slide show with my 2 girls (9 and 6 yrs old). I think they commented that you should shave on every photo of you, LOL. We thoroughly enjoyed them.

Nothing special in most of those pics tbh, they're not even hires

Not even hires, that's just too much to handle.... wow!

If this is truely a big debate between people somewhere, this is the stupidest debate I have seen yet on internet forums.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

With mine, it's pretty easy to tell if they're inside out when you hold them on the end of your finger.

Mine has numbers written on them really small. If the numbers are backwards when looking at the contact on your finger ready to go in, the contact is the correct way. I sometimes can't tell just by how they are on the finger and have to look at the numbers, usually after I've attempted to put one in and it doesn't go in easily.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

My friend wore contact lenses and he died. Be careful man.

Glad to see Kev back. Thanks for the tip, I'll keep this in mind.

Quote from logitekg25 :

my vision keeps getting worse, and im 14!!

I first started wearing glasses when I was 9 (3rd grade.) My vision got progressively worse until I reached around age 19-20. I am still at the same prescription now as I was at 20 and I'm now 37.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

The annoying thing I found was that I'd push them up against my eye and the stupid things, instead of sticking would just turn inside-out on the end of my finger.

I hate this. I get up at 5 am, eat a little breakfast, then it's immediately to the task of putting in the contacts. I pretty much start work as soon as I can get going and get to work, so it is quite annoying when the trouble starts with putting in the contacts. Once I give the first attempt, if it doesn't go in, when it does it is a little rough with the eye burning sensation for a little while. Just as bad is when you just get your finger up to your eye, and the contact flops over on your finger and the edge gets stuck on you finger. There's no way that is coming off the finger to stick to they eye.

Last time I had a girlfriend, you couldn't post pictures on the internet because there was hardly an internet and there was no such thing as digital cameras available to the consumer. So, I don't have any pictures to post of my girlfriend.

For the record, I opened the thread in a tab when TVE's OP was the only one. I look like an idiot now because my response was already commented well before I replied.....

As for the how long to wear them, I take mine out daily. Around an hour before I go to bed, they get too dried out to do anything without constantly blinking, so I take them out. I have forgotten several times and they just dry out a good bit over night. A lot of blinking in the morning and dropping a few drops of saline in the eye helps. Also, the steam from the morning shower (I'm a morning person with showers) helps them too.

Mine are suppose to be 2 week, then throw them out. I wear them around 2 to 3 months then toss. Costs about $35 per box of 6 and you need obviously left and right, so $70 for 6 pair. That lasts me anywhere from a year to a year and a half. I still have 3 pair left from buying them last January.

I was on a bike trip (motorcycle) by myself once. Rode about 200 miles when I stopped for a quick bite to eat. Gave my eyes a little rub and suddenly I couldn't see! (My eyes are pretty bad. I wouldn't recognize my own kids 5 feet in front of me without corrective lenses.) Contact was gone I thought! And here I am 200 miles from home out in the middle of nowhere. Turns out, the contact just pushed up and stuck behind my eyelid, which will happen now and then. A little finessing and it fell back over my eye.

Would have been quite difficult to ride the motorcycle 200 miles home with seeing double from losing one contact.

Oh yeah, the faggot level has rised to a new level, I understand..

This confuses me....

Quote :

Well either way.. I want to try out something new, to see if it actually is anything cool or not..

What's cool about contact lenses? They are to correct your vision, right?

Quote :

From what I have understand I should ask for a brief course before using it, and I should never sleep with them or I'll screw up my eyes. That's fine, but do they actually work? Have seen some really cool stuff on internet, but not sure if I belive the results shown in the pictures.

Confused at this as well. What results shown in pictures?

We are talking about contact lenses as in vision correction lenses right? You currently wear glasses now?

I have worn glasses since the 3rd grade. That's about age 9 and I am now 37 (:eye-poppi). I switched to contacts when I bought my motorcycle because I wanted to wear sunglasses. I didn't want to spend $500 for a pair of prescription sunglasses, I wanted to wear normal sunglasses that everyone else wears and not have to take out a 2nd mortgage on the house for them.

Best thing I have done for myself my entire life. I never thought I could do the "stick my finger in my eye" thing, but I can't believe I never switched to contacts years and years and years ago. No more reflections in my glasses, no more filthy glasses, no more scratched up lenses.

You can get contacts that you can wear at night. I tried them, but with my astigmatism, they didn't work. They would literally fall down my eye so that they were not centered, but hanging down under my bottom eye lid. So, I went back to the take them out every night lenses I've used now for 7 years.

I wear mine from 5 am until 10 PM. I work in a very dusty environment for at least 8 hours a day. I have no trouble at all with mine except they start to dry out if I'm looking at the computer in the evenings (you tend to not blink as often when using a computer.)

Just like people in LFS say "you're not suppose to crash into barriers" when the barrier bug is discussed.... You're not suppose to "large ramp-shaped mound of dirt" when you are driving IRL.

Every few months I load up LFS and have a look at the servers. Here in the US it's a million cruise, a million demo, and maybe 3 servers with 2 or 3 people on each for anything else.

I look, put the wheel back away again, and go do something else....

Falcon Heene was found in a box in the attic of his family's Fort Collins home, according to authorities.

Duh, he wasn't in the balloon in the first place...

Even if I don't listen to them they are legens. And they have classics most people have heared if they have not been living in a cave, on the moon or in under a stone the last 30 years, shame but life goes on

Ah-ha a legend? They are a one hit wonder, that is not legend material. I looked on youtube and for the life of me, I can not find anything other than Take on Me on there by Ah-ha.

MJ is a legend. Elvis is a legend. Metallica will be legends. Pink Floyd will be legends. The Beatles will be legends. Ah-ha, may as well say that Buckner and Garcia are legends (anyone know who that is?)

Quote from AndroidXP :

That example is nonsense. If the kid falls off into your path then you either evade if it's too close or you do an emergency brake. When doing an emergency brake, you push both the clutch and brake pedal fully, disconnecting the engine anyway, so in that case it doesn't matter whether you're in gear or not.

If your attentive slowing down due to the existing hazard is accomplished via engine and foot brake or foot brake only is completely irrelevant.

Bingo! If you aren't mashing both feet down and feel the need for "control" in that you think you are going to downshift through the gears utilizing engine braking, you are not concentrating on stopping as quickly as possible and are not going to stop as quickly as possible.

With the talk of leaving it in gear when stopped in case another vehicle is barreling down the road behind you, either you are driving in traffic or you are not driving in traffic. In the case of driving in traffic, the chance that you are the first car sitting is very slim. There will be other cars in front of you, thus there is no where to accelerate too. In the case of driving with no traffic, the chance that another vehicle is bearing down on you from behind is much slimmer, and also, it means that you probably aren't going to be stopped very long and will be in gear anyways.

So this entire discussion is really a waste of time. So, leave it in gear when going downhill as if you put it in neutral, by the bottom of the hill you will be doing 100 mph if not, or putting unreasonable wear and heat into your brakes. Take it out of gear when sitting at a stop in traffic because there's nothing you can do anyways with cars stopped along with you all around. And finally, leave it in gear when not in traffic because you aren't going to be stopped for long anyways with no traffic.

Tommy doesn't shit in a box.....

Update:

What great fun. I have many games the kids play, thus many saved files that I sorted through. I have many photos, many videos, many music files, and many programs downloaded (irfanview, thumbsplus, zonealarm, antivirus, malware scanners, etc, not programs like you are thinking) and many many personal data files. I just spent several days on the Ubuntu live CD hunting, sorting, and copying files.

Previous experience of HP/Compaq restores led me to believe the hard drive would be wiped with a format. Nope. Windows XP reinstalled and all my data that I spent days copying over is all still there!

It figures.

I'm now going through the horror of Windows Update with a 4 year old operating system.

There is also the mechanical failure issue. Not "ALWAYS and WITHOUT EXCEPTION" the fault of the driver. Sometimes things just happen.

Before it is said, and I know it will be, do you 100% inspect every single part of your car before you drive every single time?

The real issue people talk about isn't really the taxes or the economical part of it. The real issue is that people don't trust the government in today's "Power to me" over "Power to the people" mentality of the government to run the health care system.

If the people in government was interested in my well being, then that is fine. Unfortunately, the people in government is more interested in their own power and money than the reason they should be in the government.

Quote from 5haz :

The whole point is that everyone pays and everyone benefits. How can you even start to argue for or against a system when you don't even know how it works?

He is getting at, if I have no job and just sit on my ass collecting his tax dollars on welfare, then I also don't pay for health care.

As it is, I have a pretty shitty paying job. I pay for my own health care through my employment. My employer pays 80% and I pay 20%. Since I pay $250 per month, that means my employer pays about $1000 with the total being $1250 per month. Of that $1000 my employer pays, I very much doubt they are going to give me a huge raise that they save in paying my health care. So, my employer saves a ton of money, but how much am I going to pay in increased taxes to cover it and everyone elses who sits around on their lazy rears?

If my employer want's to give me a 50% raise for the benefits they no longer have to pay to me, then I'm all for it. Somehow I very much doubt that is going to happen.
