en I've had other developers inquire about that spot and as soon as you say 'right turn lane' they say 'thank you' and hang up.

en I have done everything in my power to maintain, uphold, and secure your rights, but I have failed upon this occasion. I shall retire into private life with the reflection, that I have never, upon any occasion, flinched from performing my duty to you, and the whole of the working classes of the United Kingdom.

en You've got to tweak your game to the rule changes. Now it's a flag if you turn into a guy while trying to make a play. It didn't used to be that way. I got flagged one time for turning my head.

en The power technology in lamps and windshield wipers today are really quite sophisticated. It is under the control of the microcontroller, which tells it how much power to allow. Rather than just turn on, it says 'I know this load on this lamp to be 4A,' and if the load exceeds that value, the lamp will turn off immediately. A traditional relay control would just turn it on, despite the short, and would burn up. Then you would have to buy all kinds of expensive pieces instead of replacing a bulb or a small wire.

en Wherever you are, death will overtake you, though you are in lofty towers, and if a benefit comes to them, they say: This is from Allah; and if a misfortune befalls them, they say: This is from you. Say: All is from Allah, but what is the matter with these people that they do not make approach to understanding what is told (them)? / Whatever benefit comes to you (O man!), it is from Allah, and whatever misfortune befalls you, it is from yourself, and We have sent you (O Prophet!), to mankind as an apostle; and Allah is sufficient as a witness.

en Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.
