when you are moving files through the internet from your computer to someone else's website/computer/whatever, you are UPLOADING files, not downloading.

calories are units of energy, not a thing you can see in a microscope. to lose weight, calories expended must be greater than what you are consuming, regardless of what you eat. this is very commonly misunderstood.

you're supposed to keep right, use turn signals, and use headlights in the rain.

that running only your parking lights while under way is illegal in NC and that not turning the headlights on does not "save your battery" (assuming your alternator is functioning properly)

^^wow that's news to me (driving with only parking lights being illegal)

when stopped at a red light in the right-hand lane, pull up far enough/to the left enough to where right-turning cars can squeeze by behind you. Sure you might get the car that wants to also go straight, effectively nullifying your idea, but it was a good idea nonetheless.

i think the person that post that ^ thing that people should know but a lot of them dont should know that the car trying to turn right when a car ahead of them is stopped at the light can get a ticket for doing so, improper passing on the right/ or improper use of lane

and there for his advice should be taken out of this thread because it is not true.

this is "officially" correct, but the president can deploy troops into what most reasonable people would classify as a "war"

see: vietnam

Technically calories are units of heat, but most people can't understand calories aren't mass, so whatevs. Also, heat is energy, so I guess it's okay.
