Yes, we can all dream up extreme scenarios to justify an argument, but they often have little connection with reality.

Firstly, i'm not a "liberal", whatever that means. I make up my own mind on every issue, thanks and would hope that I can recognise a patronising salesmen or dodgy argument a mile away. Secondly, the law is often an ass, made for political or emotive reasons, not from objective analysis. Such laws invite contempt for the overall rule of law and are thus bad in more ways than one. Thirdly, the outraged tone of your post suggested that you really don't understand the sense of humour, rebelliousness and creative mind that often goes with engineer territory. Finally, it's fun to play devil's advocate, as a check to make sure you don't start taking yourself too seriously.

In other words, lighten up a bit :-)...

I doubt seriously whether posted speed limits - or restrictive firearms legislation, for that matter - have much of an effect on either lunatics or scofflaws.

Yes. I didn't even have to think long. ...maybe ten minutes, oh, about a decade back. Maybe you should put away the bong and try thinking some time.

Well, you've already admitted that you routinely violate speed laws - imagine yourself speeding and killing somebody when you lose control.

Thanks, Rich

Well, quit endangering innocent bystanders.

Thanks, Rich

And _STILL_ no answer? Are you just another nym for AlwaysWrong, or just an ordinary troll?

Thanks, Rich

Exactly my point.

Thanks, Rich

Why not just drive the same speed as everyone else? If the posted limit is 35 and everyone is going 50, why would obstruct traffic at some low speed? My biggest problem is wearing seat belts. Got 3 tickets so far. And one cop followed me a long ways to the nearest doughnut shop before turning on his light and requesting I pull into the doughnut shop parking lot where he wrote me a ticket and then bought a doughnut at the same time.

You're a liar, Greasy.

Proof.

Show me the post where I lied.

But I think I know why you don't answer - you don't know, and you're afraid to, because, much like Thompson, you have the emotional development of a three-year-old, as evinced by the intentional misspelling of my name.

'Bye.

Keep digging your hole, druggie.

The traffic cameras around here are used in place of buried loop sensors to monitor traffic flow, and detect vehicles in the left turn lanes. The signals would go into emergency mode if you tried that.

Those are entirely different from speed cameras. They've been hacked here... people strobing a code that gives them the green light ;-) ...Jim Thompson

7XX were 'Loctal based' versions of common 6.3V filament tubes, including a 6.3 volt filament.

Gain is very low on standard tube types with low B+.

You are right, having just confirmed from an old Brimar valve manual. There was also a 1.4/5 volt heater loctal series as well, which were used in one of the BC series ww2 transceivers. iirc, there's a reference in one of the old Surplus Conversion Handbooks, but mine are buried in store at present.

I thought John said they used tires filled with gasoline.

Not on these two lane roads. Emergency vehicles just blow through the intersection in the oncoming lane, with lights & siren. Apparently, the buried wire loops were failing too often in some places so they went to video. This is the lightning capital of the US, after all.

Have him show a post where he doesn't lie.

I started with '50s & '60s radios & TVs. Later on, I modified some military gear, but I never followed any published mods. I converted an ARN/6 receiver to solid state in the mid '80s, and without a schematic.
