Ah yeah that would be. We got almost 50 gallons of syrup (yes syrup) this year.

Dang that's pretty expensive compared to what a quart of homemade syrup sells for in some states south of you.

Yes but I'm not convinced later start times will mean that kids get more sleep. What I've noticed tends to happen is with later start times kids stay up later. Well I think we really need to do for a lot of kids is to schedule fewer things for them to do after school a lot of kids have so much crap to do and enforce early bedtime.

White/gray car on a white/gray background?
Easier to see is easier to see. There's literally no downside to being easier to see.

It would definitely mean some minor inconveniences for some people but overall it would make roads a lot safer.

Personally I think they should have designed cars so that whenever the car is on the headlights are on and you can't turn them off with turning the car off. There's literally few to no reasons why you wouldn't want your headlights on.

Do you really not know why or you just trolling? When your lights are on you're easier to see.

First it shows me that this person probably doesn't use the rear view mirror ever. That's pretty dangerous in and of itself. Second how can you be sure there's no ice underneath that snow if you didn't try to brush it off? Third it doesn't take much to make it so the driver behind you can't see. Even if you're following an appropriate distance behind a chunk of ice or a flurry of snow can make it difficult for you to see the road ahead of you. Fourth it shows that the person driving this car doesn't really care about anyone other than themselves and are too lazy to take a minute and a half to brush the snow off their car.

That's exactly why fine based punishments exist. It's why most tickets are punishable by a monetary penalty. Traffic infractions that are compensated using monetary means are just revenue generators plain and simple.

Fines that are not based on a percentage of income are nothing more than a poor tax. People for whom the money means nothing will continue their behavior while people for whom money is tight get fucked with one instance.

Reply to Daytime running lights that illuminate the road, but don't activate the tail lights should be illegal. by Lacksum
Personally I think turning on your drls and tail lights should be just something that happens as part of starting your car a non-optional feature. Shit I'd even go so far as to say turning on your headlights in general should be something that happens just by turning on your car and the only way to turn them off is to turn off your car.

Actually I work with mostly gen xers and most of them are significantly better than most of the boomers I've ever met or worked with.

So basically he's worried about the poors and the minorities, coming to his town. What a dick.

Fucking boomer NIMBYs man. Their generation needs to die off already.
Can't have "them poors, sexual devients, and the minorities" upsetting the Boomer WASP feel of our community.

Okay I guess it was assumed by me that talking about wiring a light fixture means doing a project but I'll be more specific next time.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment back to try to help me get on the right page.

Yep definitely tracking on that first one, that one is on me.
The second one for the light fixture I tried to put in the body of the text that I'm rewiring this light and my question was about how to do that because of it missing a ballast.
There have been more examples but I've deleted them because I go through and delete a bunch of stuff off my Reddit every now and then.

By that write up everything I've posted meets the guidelines.
This part is in response to your comment but for some reason I couldn't actually post it as a response so I'm putting it here.

Dang that is some clean work! I was scared to do something like this so I got the kind that plugs in to the power/cigarette lighter port.
