Dealer said smart car gets 100 mile range. it gets 58-64.?
I leased a smart car a couple weeks ago. The dealer told me it would get 100 miles to the charge. I am getting a little over half that. Upon doing some research, others have the same experience. Should I go back to the dealer and ask them to take it back? What are my options? Does the lemon law apply?
Wolverine vs Magneto?
i think the reason why magneto never riped him off, megneto is a smart as*, he knows if metal is out of the wolverines body he(magneto) will never be able to control him, also it will increase wolverines chances to kill magneto. I think magneto might have thought so.
Do college dorms get broken into a lot?
Being just outta college and having worked for the admissions office for a few years calling potential students I feel liek i have a good answer for you. First off, a dorm room will be as safe as you leave it. Lock your door when no one is inside, or when your roomie is sleepiung. Also, get to know the people around you in your hall, you'll make friends, somem life-long, and you'll likely be able to trust them to not steal your things; they'll also be able to notice when something is not right with your room. As far as things such as laptops, make them unique, add stickers or write your name in an inconspicuous spot so it can be identified if it is stooen. Most importantly take down serial numvers and descriptions of the expensicve things you don't want stolen. You'll most likely have to worry about theives that live in your same hall because most dorms on most campuses have locks on the external doors that close at such and such a time and non-residents can't get in without a resident ID or special key.
How do I fix a TV screen thats been affected by magnets?
You need to preform a process called "degaussing" to your TV. It is a simple fix. You just need either an electro magnet, or a stronger magnet that was used to damage the set. Take the magnet and start waving it over the screen as close to the actual screen you can get with out actually making contact.After moving the magnet over the damaged area in a circular motion for a few revolutions move the magnet towards the closest corner of the screen and then just as if you were wiping off the screen swoop the magnet over the corner of the screen then completely away from the TV. It may take a few times repeating this motion to fix the problem, but it does work. One other thing, the lady above that mentioned holding a hand mixer by the damaged area and turning it on for a few seconds is actually headed in the right direction. Inside the body of the hand mixer are two small electrical motors that power the beaters. Those two motors are basically electro magnets that can do the same degaussing thing I mentioned above. It does not work with all mixers. Believe it or not but the cheaper the mixer, the better it works for degaussing, because the cheep models have less insulation in them, thus the magnetic field can travel further. I hope this works for you. Please, let us know how it turns out. Good Luck!
Security camera broken...?
There is an assumption of safety if the cameras are in plain view. There was a case like this at Kansas State U (sorry i don't have all the details) where an employee was beaten in "view" of the cameras - the police requested the video records and they found out the cameras were broken. the family sued and won a lot of money. it goes to reliance - if the tennants were "relying" on the safety andassumption that the cameras were functioning properly, your friend could probably have a pretty good legal leg to stand on. its ESPECIALLY good bc it's in a common area, if a theft occurred in his apartment they have reduced liability. here's part of the article: It does not take a lot of legal expertise to realize that such cheap dummy cameras and accompanying misleading signs spell trouble for the property owners and management. Allen Pepper of the law firm Mitchell, Silberberg & Knupp, LLP, says, “The concept isn't too much different than other landlord liability cases. If the cameras don't work [or are fake] and tenants [and visitors] of the property do believe them to be real, there could be an issue of ‘reliance.’ “If the tenants rely on the fact that cameras are present in either entering into a lease in the first place or it influences their decisions regarding their use of the premises [shopper, student or visitor], the failure to disclose that they are dummy cameras might give rise to liability. It gives a ‘false sense of security.’ sorry about your friend! people suck sometimes, wish the world was better.
Why am I always an easy target for bullies?
I’m the child of a narcissist (NPD) mother.As a kid I never really learnt how to stand up for myself. My mother is highly unstable and from an early age I just knew I had to make sure she was happy at all times. Or else all hell broke loose. She’d be screaming, threatening to leave the family... So I became a people pleaser before I even started school. Deep down I was afraid of everyone - because of her. I was chronically anxious in all social settings. This the school bullies picked up on - and I got bullied a lot. They saw me as weak when I really was just plain scared and afraid of upsetting people - and so I was too kind and forgiving in all social relationships I guess. I became a doormat. And I’ve continued to be to this day. And I’m now 47! But I’m finally learning how to deal with it…You could also be the child of a narcissist. We suffer immensely in life. Our parents taught us that we have no control and that we should be controlled at all times. This is perhaps what the bullies see in you. You’re an easy target. Perhaps you’ll also have to learn how to get over being the child of an NPD. Search out YouTube!
Did you ever think that your mind didn't work or think like most people's?
As I’ve told Jerald Cole, I’ve been born in the wrong place in the wrong time nearly every time. I’m your run of the mill…small liberal arts or under-Ivy (dare I say Ivy?) graduate. I am not the product of a huge, state, SEC school.I fit in pretty well in the Silicon Valley Group…which is probably the biggest group of misfits ever. They’re the nerds who made it big, though. There’s an 80’s movie about that.In Freaks and Geeks I saw myself in every one of those characters. Especially Lindsay (I think that’s her name?), the main character.It’s all about context. I’ve been a huge weirdo growing up, but in a lot of places I’d have been (dare I say)….popular? It’s happened to me twice: once at a government summer camp where most of the kids went HYPSM and the second time at a high school in a magnet program (one was IB…the honors kids were more like from the art magnet).Then, I moved to a suburbia high school and went back to the loser weirdo I was in middle school.It’s all been a bit confusing.
