  1. They do it to avoid product liability lawsuits. Yes, it is a pain, but how many commercials do we see on t.v. from law firms chasing down class action lawsuits? Those are just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, of the product liability lawsuits that occur. As far as an electrical device, if it isn't plugged in, the chances of it causing a problem are highly improbable.
  2. It really depends on what one considers time travel. If one looks at it as people picking a time in the past or future and traveling there, that is likely impossible with what we know now. However, it is a known that as an object approaches the speed of light that time slows down for that object. Carl Sagan made the point on his Cosmos show that if an earthling could travel at speeds approaching the speed of light, that person could circumnavigate the known universe (at that time) and return to earth in several decades; however, the time elapsed on earth would be in the thousands of years. One would certainly have to consider this time travel. As far as life outside of our galaxy, I can believe it. I do not believe that intelligent life has been visiting our planet. To paraphrase Carl Sagan, our solar system and galaxy are in an uninteresting part of the universe. There is nothing of interest here that would cause one from another area of the universe to look here and think that this is a place they have to explore.
  3. Great craftsmanship! Really outstanding.
  4. I vote, but it gets harder and harder to convince myself that it is worth the effort because nothing changes.
  5. Looks great!
  6. Great looking model! I like it a lot.
  7. More than likely, this person was uninsured, so your friend would have been responsible for the deductible anyway. It isn't fair, but the states will not commit the resources to really address this.
  8. Really outstanding work Mark! Looks fabulous.
  9. Great job Steve. Really outstanding work!
  10. That is genius Ron. I will be copying this as well.
  11. I built it about 20 years ago. I don't have any pictures of the car. If I have the time this weekend, I will take some pictures of it. As I recall, the red plastic was a problem, trying to paint over it. But my knowledge of how to overcome some of these matters was not what it is today. Pontiac had a great idea with this car. Unfortunately, by the time they got the details right the Toyota MR2 was the sales leader. As I recall, the first iteration of the car sold well, but the primary buyers of the car were women. The women wanted something that looked good, but performance was not a big deal. Then when Pontiac discovered that performance was a big deal to the guys, they were too late to the party and the MR2 was the car of that genre.
  12. Looks great to me Pat. I like it a lot.
  13. Really exceptional work!
  14. I hope you heal up quickly Mattias.
  15. Great work!
  16. Really outstanding work! I like it a lot.
  17. I will buy a CD of an artist I really like. On almost every CD, my favorite song is usually one of the more obscures songs.
