In Topic: Are You Going To Vote?

25 October 2008 - 01:42 AM

Yes, vote. But first take some time to get informed on all the issues & offices.

Most importantly, participatory democracy can best be practiced by dialogue with the opposition(s). I mean this on an everyday level.
Summon the courage & talk to someone who supports the other candidate like the fellow citizen they are.

Just try to keep it civilized & I guarantee you that you'll learn something or teach them something.

I just did some more research/math and my first guess based on 2548 pulses per Km and 4000 pulses per mile from a VSS makes me think that if you multipled the time between each pulse by about 1.57 you would trick the display into showing miles on a display for Km. The input pulses at 1MPH should be 4000/hour, but the output to the display should only be 2548/hour so it would show 1Km while going 1MPH. Sounds like a really, really simple curcuit.


Edit: I also think it would be important to include a switch to disable the curcuit or to change to multiplier to 1 so that the dash displays KM as it would without the curcuit. Also, is the odometer on this dash mechanical like normal clusters or is it digital? If digital, that could pose a problem it keeping track of miles/KM on the chassis.



The odo isn't digital & is in Km.

It's not that hard getting used to km--- 40km~25mi, 100k=62m or 10k=6.2mi.

Fun scaring people riding with & baffling the guy @ echeck ( yer speedometer's broke!)

In Topic: Sarah Palin

Well....

I'm a conservative. My vote matters since I live in Ohio (swing state).

Palin does make me happy. She reminds me of a "Mrs. Smith Goes to Washington" type. I love how she put the governor's jet plane on Ebay! Very compelling life story, many successful reforms. Energetic, determined, attractive. Truthfuly, I think maybe I could be developing a slight crush on her.... ph34r.gif

Well...liquidity is a bank. At 4% interest, your investment would double every 18 days. ( 4% is being "respected", normal rate is 2%, which doubles in 35 days) Does the gang vault even earn interest??? Silly that it would when you think about it...

I would advise keeping a % liquid, with the majority in stocks bought only at 15-18 range. Remember that patience even more here...

Hey remember "bank in the tank"? Have you seen the price lately? 388! That's 20x the original investment! How many months has that been?

Hey, Games is currently priced at that magic buy price if anyone cares...

Three rules:

Buy as much as you can at 15. Anything, anytime.

Be patient.

Sell only when you have a chance to buy at 15.
