No problem. Of course, the same applies to pro sports and celebrities too. We often pay for this in what we purchase every day whether we like it or not. There are a lot of expensive failures and they end up getting bought. We do need to make CEO`s great again...
 
Cows will face directly north or south while eating, always.

Let’s face it: nobody is sitting around trying to figure out the what direction most animals face while they are eating. For instance, our cat would sit on its head if it meant that it could get a few extra treats. Fortunately there are scientists out there much smarter than us. Utilizing satellite images pulled from Google Earth, a team of researchers found that cows always stood facing the magnetic poles within the Earth while eating or resting. Always.
 
Well... always is a stretch. I have a dairy not too far away, it`s feeding stalls face West. I know, it`s the spirit of the statement.
 
So O described his wife`s convention speach as "an incredible speach by an incredible woman". For once we`re in agreement, though I question whether he understands the meaning of "incredible". [INSERT some good quip about how Democrats/Liberals define words differently from other people]

[Heck], I find almost everything that most politicians say to be incredible statements by incredible people.
 
It`s times like these that I`m glad I`m a decent human being because, really? He had to leave me with the red key? Lol

Ah...The magic of carnauba...

Was detailed on a new medication yesterday. A new extended release version of oxycodone that is "abuse proof"... Xtampza.

How did they do this... "DETERx Microsphere Technology"... ???


They mixed the drug with carnauba and made a wax!

The drug rep opened up the capsule....Inside each capsule is something that could pass for BlackFire Midnight Sun...except it`s laced with oxycodone.

Didn`t they try something similar with Percodan change to Percocet? Abuse proof ? :D

Nah... The only diff between those two is one contains aspirin and one contains Tylenol. Other than that - they are the same.

Popular use shifted to Percocet (oxycodone / Tylenol) due to "issues" the aspirin in Percodan (oxycodone / aspirin) can cause; like ulcers / bleeding.

Now...Percocet has fallen out of favor for chronic use due to issues the Tylenol in it can cause with chronic use - mainly liver problems.

They did reformulate OxyContin so it does not dissolve well - making it harder (but not impossible) to inject.

This new stuff (Xtampza) is dispersed in a carnauba wax - so it won`t dissolve in anything water soluble and can`t really be snorted.

But, I`m sure SOMEONE SOMEWHERE will figure out SOMEHOW to abuse it.

Yep someone will.

Years ago there was a pain killer that they changed delivery to make it "non abusable" that lasted a few weeks before someone figure out how to separate it.
 
I need to start playing the lottery or come up with an ingenious invention. We had one of these come in several weeks ago and it was stunning. This is a picture from online, the actual one we had was a different color scheme but I don`t want to post pictures from work.

The boat we had in was 1400hp, topped out around 81 mph, burned 130 gallons per hour at full throttle, had carbon fiber everywhere (whole cockpit dash areas, fridge, the whole piece shown above the cockpit and more) and about $70k in A/V components. Truly a beautiful boat. You could get to the Bahamas in about an hour with this thing!

Here`s a link with a more detailed overview.

I`ve been bitten again by the mod bug. Been trying hard to fight the urge but I`m on the edge of ordering either springs, coil overs (cost is the same as springs and shocks) or a tune.
 
Nautical- Just make sure your mods actually make for a better experience ;) I left the springs alone in the Crown Vic this time because I simply can`t spare any ground clearance, need one car that can go anywhere, not another lowered toy that scrapes all the time.

Mailorder/email tune or a dyno-tune?

Yeah I`m torn on how low I would go. I love the look of no tire gap (or minimal) but it`s been awhile since I`ve had a lowered vehicle so I can`t recall having too harsh of a ride. Plus I`m still young so I can get beat up a little.

As for the tune, I`d purchase a Cobb Access port and go with a number of reputable tuners tune, not Cobb`s OTS tune. And with a tune I`d only be looking at a 10-20 hp and 40-50 tq more than stock.
