I wonder if this effects wifi and cellphone reception when it's running?

>perception

I think past generations had different definitions between what was a necessity and what was a luxury compared to present generations.  My parents grew up during the Great Depression and my grandparents were adults during the Depression and were under the gun to provide food and shelter for their families.  Their perspective about these was a lot different from mine.

>water injection

I remember these from the 1970's and early 1980's, post OPEC oil embargo.  Like LM said, most people were trying to increase fuel mileage on their gas guzzling cars, before Detroit finally got around to downsizing cars/engines.

Insurance companies are relentless.  If they want to drop you or your vehicle they will find away.  They'll just wait until nobody is paying attention and cancel or raise the rate until you can't afford it.

>dropped

To be fair, the insured's driving record counts too.  It's not just the vehicle.

Others will now follow.

There are some really good, thoughtful bloggers out there.

Feedle is a search engine for blog feeds and podcasts and a good way to find them.

>insurance

Flood insurance aside, regular homeowners insurance is going up like crazy even in "protected" places like the US Midwest.  Storms, wind and hail damage particularly to roofs and siding are increasing insurance claims across the country and insurance companies are passing the costs on.

Homeowners and builders need to take a real hard look at the materials we are using to build homes.  As an example, metal roofs were unheard of here a few years ago but now are becoming more popular for their resistance to fire, wind and hail.

>flood insurance

At some point the Federal govt is just going to have to quit issuing flood insurance in some areas.

Ditto, ditto.

Y'all thought I was sleeping in the back of the class, but I was paying attention to the "never bank online" and such.  That extends to bills.  I get deluged with mail, write a lot of checks and pay a lot of postage but it works.  Whereas, a friend of mine who pays everything electronically, had his bank account compromised and it was a nightmare straightening it all out.

In the Midwest, a lot of family farms have gone straight grain and no longer raise cattle or hogs like they did up until the 1970's.  It's hard to compete against huge factory cattle operations.  They have even removed the fences which used to enclose each field since the fences are not needed for cattle anymore.

I don't use these.  I don't use self-checkout at the grocery store either.  If they want my custom they need to act like it.
