Macron v Le Pen

This should be an interesting indication as to whether the world is gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda or simply rejecting the political status quo.... Particularity given the recent attacks in France

well that's essentially the first part of my point, refer "gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda"

Considering this is a country that's had it's fair share of terror related incidents in the last year or so, it would stand to reason that nationalism could be viewed in a more positive light by those directly or indirectly affected.  

I don't think you have to be nationalist to fear the ramifications of open border immigration from war-torn countries, even if that is traditionally a trait of nationalism; Le Pen like our Hanson could be seen as the lesser of two evils..."I don't like xenophobes and racists, but terrorists are much worse"

so speaking to someone i know who is a JP at Springvale police station... older Vietnamese man comes in and says his car has been stolen. apparently was in a minor accident, guy who he hit (not sure who was at fault) said they had no insurance but will take the car to a panel beater and get it repaired. So the man handed over his keys and the guy drove off in it never to be seen again.

It's easy to get on the *facepalm* train with this one, but man, I felt really sorry for the dude. Super friendly old man, who isnt used to dealing with the scum we come across and witness every day, and he gets reamed thinking someone was doing something out of kindness. f**k this gay earth. and the dude is probably too honest to lie about the situation to the insurance company.

f**king swindling scumbags.

fine... make it "gravitate towards political parties that use nationalism as a core theme of their political rhetoric"

But then he gets to keep the thief's car...sounds like a fair trade to me.

I like how Dell can mark-up their laptops by $1000 just because theyre in the "business" section of the website. I can seriously buy an Asus or Gigabyte laptop with better specs in every department, or a "home" Dell with the same spec for half the price. But it would be an "Inspiron" then not a "Latitude" model. bah Latitude has been using the same architecture for like 10 years.

After only 680 pages? Rookie mistake, last thread was > 2000 pages

To be fair, last thread had real estate, unions and Captain Will as topics

Think Rimon may have even been in there

Business laptops have additional features such as docking capabilities etc. (nohomo)

Just quietly...if you came into my interview with an Inspiron I wouldn't hire you no matter the specs...

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
