Dumbass is fucking up the flow of traffic for a lot of other people. They have the lights set a certain way for a reason, especially in the busy areas.

it was a superheterodyne (sp?) 7 transistor AM radio, not just a speaker and a variable capacitor.

If it's part of his class, then it's part of his class. Doesn't matter if it's the most advanced piece of engineering in the world or not.

I guess you're not familiar how things work around here. So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. ToxicSchmuck posts anything, he gets shut down. Why? Because he is a schmuck.

Awww, someone's upset. What's funny about this is that you say that simply because I pissed you off. You know nothing about me or my abilities as an engineer. However, it's painfully obvious from all of your "arguments" that you're going to be absolutely awful as an attorney. Sorry, chuckles. :olo:

My arguments are more than effective, not to mention the fact that they're enough to upset you without even being directed at you. Three years of Law school combined with three years as a solicitor will more than provide the skills of a powerful barrister. Enjoy your impending mediocrity.

Yeah, such a fine legal mind that you can't recognize real criticism, formulate an honest counter-argument, refute simple objections, or even come up with your own insults. :olo:

I've done all that and more. Your lack of intelligence or any knowledge of the legal profession renders you unable to grasp the obvious. I'll leave the insults to the internet tough guys like yourself.
