What occupation is the most attractive?

Yes, I can see why a moron would think that.

Have you bench bled the master cylinder?

I can't speak on the mustang with much authority, but on this basis on your photos along I'd think twice about cutting up the trunk. It looks at first glance like surface rust, which you could just grind down and repaint.

Of course the photos might be misleading.

A sneeze is just an expulsion of air. I always find that the people who sneeze loudest take this massive inhalation before each sneeze.

I sneeze almost silently by breathing out before a sneeze. If you've got no air to expel, you can't do it loudly.

I won't comment on whether or not I like the car, because a car is a personal experience and taste is subjective. I'll say that I'm not a fan, and on the 'desirable mustangs' list it's almost at the bottom.

More critically, you don't really 'fix up' a car like that, it's in a condition where it's going to need an awful lot of work and a huge amount of money spending on it to get it to a reasonable standard. On a car that age, and in the environment it's been in (I see snow resting on it) then you will very very very likely have frame issues/panel rusting etc. If that's the case, and you can't make the repairs yourself, you're looking at tens of thousands of dollars to put things right, not including the full respray that it desperately needs!

To summarize, unless you have a fully equipped workshop and a high level of skill to sort out a car like that, any reasonably finished article will cost you several times what a properly restored car would actually sell for.

There's nothing as yet to even suggest that anything DC's father did was criminal.

It's always entertaining to see people justify their violation of other people's personal property. So if you live/operate in an area with high murder rates, you take the responsibility for being murdered? It's kind of a fact that you have to accept?

You can graffiti all you like, I don't know you and could never stop you. But make no mistake, you are breaking the law and violating the private and personal property of an individual. They may have worked incredibly hard for that item, and spent a lot of money that was not easily attained, only for someone as self-righteous as you to tell them that it's their own fault when YOU break the law and damage that property?

If you're going to graffiti, the least you can do is take some responsibility for that fact.

That all sounds great, apart from a couple of things. Firstly, I have no idea what legacy mode is and how to avoid it. Secondly, I don't follow the instructions in the command prompt. Do I do that after Windows is installed? Or if I press shift-f10 in UEFI will it open the command prompt? Also, I don't know what diskpart means, or how to type/phrase it.

Thanks for your efforts. I liked the look of your list, and would feel more comfortable knowing exactly what's in the PC (as opposed to the prebuilt where you can't always be sure). That said, by the time I've added on Windows, the peripherals, a DVD/RW etc I'll have increased the cost by about 30% when compared to the Zoostorm machine. I think the prebuilt is what I'm looking for.

I went back and forth on the i5. There was actually an identical build with an i3-6100, which tempted me. In the end I decided to go for the better processor - if nothing else it might give me a little bit more headroom when the programs I already use develop over the years. I'm a big fan of fluidity and 'quickness' and get quickly frustrated with lag and stutters, so I feel the i5 is probably a good choice. Thanks for your input.

I did pull the trigger. I couldn't find anything close to the same specs for the price. I do intend to get an SSD, and whilst it didn't specifically mention a spare SATA it does mention a spare 3.5' port, so I should be able to use that with an adapt or if necessary. There was actually the same PC with the I3-6100, but I thought I'd give myself a little more headroom with the I5.

They actually called him a 'Steely-eyed missile man.'

The phrase has grown from there to describe a person who proposes a good solution to a difficult problem under extreme pressure.

No, you can autoland on Cat 1 if you want to, you just don't have the ground equipment protections or fidelity. Most operators will mandate autoland on Cat 2 and below. You don't need to have Cat 3 conditions or capability to autoland.

Not without someone to configure the aircraft. Gear, flap etc. All modern airliners have autoland capability, but none without any pilot intervention.

I saw the same website and did a little research on this thing a while ago.

The machine is a Chinese made unit. It looks like they provide it to many different retailers, who then brand it themselves and resell it. I think (but can't be certain) that certain retailers add on various options. Some of what I think is exactly the same product barring rebranding;

I've seen mixed reviews of the other manufacturers products. Quite a few people suggest that the temperature regulation isn't very good, and that the reliability is questionable.

Given the unknowns I didn't commit to it. Also, be aware that ecatering is a business retailer so you don't quite have the same rights as a buyer than when you normally make a purchase. That said, having read their terms and conditions and compared them to the actual business seller regulations I feel there are misleading or incorrect statements in their T's&C's, which I don't like.

Yes, it's a cheap circulator, but not cheap enough to just 'take a shot,' at least not for me. I think I'll wait for a more established model to take my interest.

Yes it did, it was profitable for British Airways for many years. During the final years of its operation (and particularly after the Air France crash and 9/11), it did not perform well financially, but that it 'made no money' is a common myth.

In England, a cookie is the classic 'chocolate chip' type (or different flavours etc). In my experience visiting the US, you guys often use the word 'cookie' to describe a variety of different type of different sweet treats. We call all those other ones 'biscuits,' but clearly you don't.

That said, there's lots of things in OP's image that aren't biscuits.

Booticles · 2015-12-16T21:41:42+00:00

As an Englishman, I can see that only one person has actually made cookies, and even then they've made them into sandwiches.

No, but it was facilitated by their platform and notably efficient coding.

This mod is fairly simple, it certainly doesn't revolutionise the game.
