Those are some pretty significant qualifiers. The lights on his car are not fine. There is something wrong with his night vision. His defrosters don't work.
Amen. Don't make me take another call of your wife or you desperately trying to figure out if the other is breathing and having a stranger give one of you CPR or come on the phone and tell me that there's no point. I'd like that a lot.Holman wrote:3:30 am emergency trip to the hospital? And you're driving blind?
Next time don't drive. Call an ambulance. That's what they're for.

Before about 25 years ago, the species simply did not exist. A single drastic mutation in a single crayfish produced the marbled crayfish in an instant.
The mutation made it possible for the creature to clone itself, and now it has spread across much of Europe and gained a toehold on other continents. In Madagascar, where it arrived about 2007, it now numbers in the millions and threatens native crayfish.
“We may never have caught the genome of a species so soon after it became a species,” said Zen Faulkes, a biologist at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, who was not involved in the new study.As marmorkrebs became more popular, owners grew increasingly puzzled. The crayfish seemed to be laying eggs without mating. The progeny were all female, and each one grew up ready to reproduce.The scientists concluded that the new species got its start when two slough crayfish mated. One of them had a mutation in a sex cell — whether it was an egg or sperm, the scientists can’t tell.
Normal sex cells contain a single copy of each chromosome. But the mutant crayfish sex cell had two.
Somehow the two sex cells fused and produced a female crayfish embryo with three copies of each chromosome instead of the normal two. Somehow, too, the new crayfish didn’t suffer any deformities as a result of all that extra DNA.
It grew and thrived. But instead of reproducing sexually, the first marbled crayfish was able to induce her own eggs to start dividing into embryos. The offspring, all females, inherited identical copies of her three sets of chromosomes. They were clones.
I guess I don't assume that everything that Daehawk says is completely without exaggeration in this case. I know I've come home before and griped that I couldn't see the sides of the road when, in reality, it was just the normal bad weather effects and no worse for me then everyone else on the road.
We do what we can or what we have to the way we can do them. I buy parts for stuff a little per month. As for the lights we go nowhere after dark.....unless its an emergency that comes up like this. trying to find a video card and pay $50 for a used one that I use every hour of every day is not in the same ball field as $200 for something Id usually never use. Some of you guys are judging by the cover you think you see out of the corner of your eye. Stay calm 
That description - that they look fine normally and illuminate things like signs and so forth but not on wet roads - sounds normal to me. I wouldn't worry too much about the headlights. The buffing kits and new bulbs might be beneficial but it sounds like you just hit the combination of dark wet night that makes all driving horrible except on the best roads with raised reflective paint for all of the lines.
I used the poor mans version of that....the rough brown towels free from the hospital bathroom hand dryer.Isgrimnur
I think you'd find that our situations are pretty similar. I'm in a tiny midwestern town. Hell, while I'm not sure exactly which city you're in, I would be willing to bet that I could have lunch at my house and dinner at yours. I'm on disability and perpetually broke. I am responsible for the wellbeing of others despite my low income. I also don't get out of the house much, and don't have much real-world support. I also find my peace of mind through a hobby (PC gaming) that I shouldn't have anything to do with due to the cost. And I'd also go stir crazy if I didn't have it. I know I have in the past. And I worry constantly about what will happen if some component or other dies, as it will likely limit or remove that one source of peace for a period of months. And yes, an unexpected hundreds expense like an ambulance would cripple financially me for months.

Yeah, it's a tough call. I mean, I'm not going to announce to the world I'm boycotting, I would just decide and then do whatever I decided.
Oh, and I probably should have stated that I intend to "boycott" the movie.... because it looks incredibly stupid. Or, you know, I'm just not gonna go see it.GreenGoo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 5:44 pmYeah, it's a tough call.

We humourize other, more serious crimes in animated movies all the time, but this one feels off because most kids have access to a kid with allergies and the thing to which the kid is allergic.
Shrug.
I have had cortisone in my wrist and my shoulder. The shoulder shot was for bursitis. Hurt like hell while the wrist shot was painless.
