    Most miles in a day

    Rome, NY to Sacramento CA (2750 miles) Kissed my girlfriend goodbye at 9:30 am on a Friday and arrived in Sacramento around 3pm on Sunday. That is about 54 hours running for an average speed around 50 miles per hour. I did this in a '69 corvette which got about 11 miles per gallon. I stopped...

What they're saying is you can't let someone copy what you've paid for. Yes, true. People should not illegally copy; however, the example given was loaning a...

    EU study finds pirates buy MORE music

    Yes, these are all legal(borrowing a CD, listening to Pandora and watching youtube videos). It is comical reading the self-righteous comments from people who would NEVER do such awful things.

    FRUIT: ITS HEALTH BENEFITS AND PROBLEMS

    ""Fruit upsets the blood sugar level and causes insulin release." that's patently false, as measured by people who've actually measured the response to fruit. Many fruits are actually relatively low-glycemic. "Taste" is not an indicator. Beef can raise insulin response more than raw sugar...

    FRUIT: ITS HEALTH BENEFITS AND PROBLEMS

    "little world of mainstream, pill pushing MDs." Yes, the US medical system has problems; however, if you explore how effective his advice would be with respect to the entire US population, it would NOT work. The amount of carbohydrate consumed in the form of grains FAR exceeds that of fresh...

    He states: "This section incorporates our own research findings and that of many others who have worked with many fruitarians and others who eat or have eaten a lot of fruit for a period of some years, in most cases." So, he is observing people who are eating very high carbohydrate diets...

    My dad escaped!

    $3k per month doesn't even buy an assisted living facility around here (and this is a low cost area). Typical care for an Alzheimer's patient would be over $5k in a group setting. It sounds like they are trying to do too much with too little.

    Originally Posted By: meangreen01 ... It blows me away that many think that the electric car is some panacea that will save us from the downfalls of the ICE, because it's far from it. it runs cleaner, at higher efficiency and uses fuel generated in its home country. Isn't that enough?

    window wash fluid in coolant reservoir

    Assuming she hasn't driven the car and her coolant reservoir had something in it when she started, little or no washer fluid made its way into the radiator; so, draining the reservoir and refilling with coolant would work ok. Can you estimate how much washer fluid made its way into the cooling...

    Would this be crazy?

    This is not the way you want to do a cross country road trip. Even if the weather was good, 5 days is not enough time.
