It's a faulty argument because it only considers the damage caused by the bike hitting something, not the consequences of other vehicles with the right of way making emergency maneuvers to avoid smearing the idiot who ran the stop. This guy has been sitting on his tenured ass and smelling his own farts for too long.
Yes, and these matchbooks went on to inspire both Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino and Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi as well. One day the four great artists were surprised to learn that the cardboard matches had been crafted by a great artist of the martial persuasion, who kept getting slivers from the wooden variety. Lovingly know to the four as Master Splinter, they went on to great adventures together in the sewers of New York.
That is literally the aftermarket part name for it when you buy them online. You have to remove it to drain the oil. This thing is so thin it's basically a dust cover, so all it provides is protection from road debris and helps with aero. It isn't going to protect anything if you bottom out.
You're thinking of the exhaust heat shields. This is the engine skid plate. It's there to protect the engine compartment from road debris and provide aero for better fuel economy. It's pretty common for the screw holes in them to rust or wear around the fasteners to the point where the fastener head no longer covers the hole and they fall down.
Government job cuts aren't exactly random, and people know when they are in a safe job versus one of the more volatile positions. Rae bucked the trend of how the public service normally handles expansion and contraction and it pissed off the large core of safe workers to protect volatile jobs that would likely be cut in the short to mid term anyway. I imagine it particularly pissed off those retiring soon who had their highest earning years averaged down under Rae, making for smaller pensions. While the actual effect would likely have been small, it did have an outsized psychological effect on government workers. I'm not surprised the public at large never understood it. Rae didn't either though, and the NDP has never been able to restore their labour party rep since.
That may justify it to some right leaners who don't seem to care about privatisation anyway, but I don't think any potential NDP voter doesn't just see that as his transparent way of feathering his retirement by ingratiating himself to wealthy businessmen. Rae Days legit pissed off all the unionized government workers who weren't going to risk a pay cut again. I know because I am one of them. That's all you are going to hear if you bring up the NDP with the older crowd. It's Pavlovian at this point. They are smart enough to lay the 407 blame at Harris' feet and have no love for the PCs either, largely because Harris had a personal hatred for government workers. But Rae turning against union workers was something they similarly can't forgive.
Never seen NDP blamed for anything Harris did. The hate anyone remembers seems to start and end with Rae Days. I think they were mainly castigated for not fixing Mulroney's problems (yes, Ontarian voters just can't seem to figure out why their premier can't fix federal politics) and providing that one particularly unpopular policy. Harris was actually popular enough to have Ontarians eager to double down on him. Again, Ontario voters were impressed enough with Chretien and Martin righting the ship to give credit to the provincial PCs.
The issue was last fixed in November with a software update. Whatever it was doing was overheating the ICCU and blowing the fuse for the 12V battery charging system. Apparently they do the software update and check for the OBD2 code. If it is there, they replace the ICCU hardware even if the fuse has never blown. Mine came with the updated code, and has never been a problem. Is it really fixed? Hyundai seems to think so. Haven't really heard complaints about this one in a while, so at the very least it seems the update has lowered the incidence rate.
You could ask him, bit it sounds to me like he's not happy about how long it took them to get to this point. He's right that the government caused generational harm to its citizenry with their oblivious decision making. The best time to set this up was before moving our information into public space. That doesn't mean the next best time isn't immediately.
Maybe he means it's like closing the barn door after the horses have bolted. The government already put all the personal data they have on most people into the cloud years ago.
Oh I am well aware, but recall that according to the rules, Obama should have had his supreme court pick. Doesn't matter if the rules say he would be president if everyone including Vance himself feels he is illegitimate because that's all they ever hear. Might even provoke him into an election after a year of badgering him at ever possible opportunity. Hearts and Minds is a game, and right now only one side is playing.
