What about the bank's moral obligation to the homeowner?

For a contract to rise from just a financial obligation to a moral one, both parties need to have a moral obligation to each other. Since banks treat home loans as just business, homeowners are free to do the same.

Ray, du hast recht! Notice that the blades are next to the floor, below the center of gravity. This is an unstable design and was likely done to maximize the ground effect.

I am rarely a grammar nazi and need forgiveness when it comes to spelling and typing errors, but when an article about words and usage has this many errors, its content should be held suspect.

My personal rebuttal is that no intelligent civilization lasts long enough to achieve interstellar travel. While we are one of many, we have a lonely fate.

Horseradish ties with Green Onions. Both beat Yucca. Although, there are some types of Basil that reseed so fast, you'd think they had rhizomes.

Dual LP/NG inputs.
Four thermocouple ports with dual wireless temperature transmitters.
The wheels are a bit small for my taste, but the totally incongruous bottle opener is a great touch.
Does a Webber lid fit that perfectly, or did it need modification?

10/10 for design, 10/10 for execution, 11/10 for being a frickin' badass DIY.

When I was working as an engineer at IBM, one of my co-workers said that he was disappointed that most of the time we were just high-paid plumbers. I asked when was the last time he hired a plumber for less per hour than what he made.

It is still true. An independent plumber makes more than an engineer.

As I posted on another site with this link: Nice bits of advice fancied up with quotes from famous people. Therefore, here is my #11

11. Nothing weakens a speaker's credibility more than using quotes. Speak your mind plainly. Support your arguments with facts, not the opinions of others.

Here is my recommended way to deal with someone who haggles just for the enjoyment of the exchange (so sayeth the author): "Go away. I do not negotiate."

This is bait for them to say something like, "Everything is negotiable."

The response is, of course, to ask how much for a night of sex with his wife.

Whoa! Ryan, chill dude. This is not the place for parallel vs. fast timesharing discussion. That place would have been a bar in downtown Minneapolis in 1982 when I (IBM) sat next to a systems architect from Cray.

As for the video clip, I have so wanted to do this.
