@Zach@Granger, do you guys not sell in California? I tried to start a quote and I'm not seeing California in the list of states to select. I'm 99% certain I did a quote before, so this seems like something new.

I remember reading an environmentalist science fiction novel in the '70s, when I was about 11 years old. The premise -- common in the mainstream at the time -- was that pollution was reflecting heat out of the atmosphere and would prompt an early ice age. Of course, it was wholly catastrophic...

What an incredible (and I'll add, condescending) characterization. Climate science is the farthest thing from "common sense." Anyone who thinks there's an obvious "common sense" position isn't looking hard enough. It was once "common sense" that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects...

At the same time, you'll see pictures that show property damage today. But that's because there was no property in those locations previously. We get this all the time in California, where they talk about the increase in property damage and deaths from wildfires. But that's not because there are...

The tone aside, why are you assuming he's NOT keeping an open mind? Just because someone rejects the most dire claims about global warming doesn't mean they haven't seriously considered the question. My mind is wide open, meaning I look at both sides. On the one side, what I call the climate...

It's not up to me to prove that, e.g., global warming ISN'T causing extreme weather conditions. It's up to you to prove that it is. That's complicated by the fact that we don't have enough historical data to confirm it. But, my main point would be, IF global warming is causing such things...

That's a theory.

Just to add some fuel to the fire, came across a bunch of interesting info. This chart stood out to me, demonstrating how the statistics are misrepresented to make various aspects of global warming seem worse than they really are. The chart compares deaths from heat versus deaths from cold...

I won't post mine, because 1) it's bone stock and 2) it's so dirty you guys would be giving me tons of grief.

Alrighty, will do. Thanks!

I suppose that's possible, yeah. Would I have any way of knowing that a reset was done? I have no tools to check such things, but anything else to look for that might be more obviously reset?

Just wanted to bump this one to see if anyone has any opinion/advice. Thanks!

Okay, so, since getting my car back from the dealer after the first attempt to fix the evaporative emission system problem, I've noticed that I'm experiencing more throttle and/or transmission lag than before. It's intermittent but consistent. It continues to occur after the second (and...

I would go back and demand that they check the transmission fluid level. If they won't, then find a dealer who will.

Some psychiatrist is going to read this thread and start diagnosing people.

Yeah, good advice. Probably something we should look into sooner rather than later. It's likely to be a lot more expensive on his own policy, given our multi-policy discount and other benefits. But you're right, there's a real risk there.

He is on our insurance, but he’s also 23 and the car is his. So taking away the keys is problematic. He has no money, so if we take him off our insurance, as we should, he’ll be unable to drive at all. No drive, no job, etc. It’s all a mess, but we’re trying at least to get him in a safer place...

That's a great point about the insurance, thanks. Passing it along.

I mean, seriously, for those of you who believe the anthropogenic climate change hype, haven't you ever wondered why their response to counterarguments is to label their opponents as "anti-science"? Science is precisely about questioning theories and forcing their proponents to provide evidence...

That's precisely why I don't trust them and consider their positions to be dishonest, disingenuous, and with ulterior motives. The people who talk about this the most are NOT just stupid or naive (well, except for climate "celebrities" like Greta Thunberg). And the worst thing is, the mainstream...
