<p>I alway wondered why so many people (not saying you're one of them) get mad at being charged for misclicks and bots.<p>It all averages out.<p>You bid $3 a click because your conversion ratio is x, and paying $3 is worth it. Even if 90% of the traffic is bots, it works out. 
If Google filtered out all the bots, the conversion ratio for you and your competitors would go up, and your competitors would be willing to pay $27 per click and you'd outbid at $30, being at the exact same result at the end of the month spent for the exact same results.</p>

<p>Just an FYI, these drugs don't actually cause erections or sexual excitement. They simply make erections easier.<p>Now, if someon is mildly excited by other bodybuilders but usually not enough to make it known, yes Cialis could cause 'movement' as George Costanza put it.<p>But if you're not into what's in front of you, Cialis isn't going to change anything.</p>

<p>If you buy the common reliable gas engines, and stick to timing chains, you really don't have to do much. Our 4runner has 260k miles and hasn't ever had anything done but engine oil, trans oil, and differential oil. Trans and diff oil will still be done on electric cars.<p>I have a 300k Ford F250 gas that also hasnt had anything done basically.<p>And while for trucks the electric vs gas is huge, my Chevy Volt costs per mile about the same to operate on gas vs electric, because electricity is $0.46 a kwh in my California region.</p>

<p>I sold cars for a living so I pay attention to randoms in cars more than most probably. The amount of people (mostly women) sitting WAYYY too low in their car is shocking. I don't know how they can even see most of what's near in front of them.<p>The way too close to the steering wheel also shocks me, but I guess with that one theyre going to just hurt themselves.<p>When id sell a car, or even on test drives, I'd try to help them adjust the seat to a sane position but most people that do it wrong seem to be pretty set in their ways and don't want to change it even with some friendly advice and showing them the seat goes way up. It's almost like they don't like looking bigger in their car or something.</p>

<p>The police sure would. And when people these days talk about drinking and driving, most of it IS the 4 beers after work they're talking about.<p>The crazy drunkard having stiff drinks at a bar and then driving home after almost falling over walking to his car is pretty rare.<p>But you're right, in the context of the OP I was responding to, he probably did mean real drunkards being more popular back then.</p>

<p>For sure drunk driving increases your odds of an accident. But people make it sound 3-4 beers and you're bound to have an accident. We should be more honest about it.</p>

<p>I worked in car sales. Most of my coworkers drove drunk once a week or more. So basically I've seen 10+ people drive drunk 100+ times, and no doubt they do it more outside my view. No one ever had an accident.</p>

<p>Those are real tech IMO. Consumer media type software isn't 'tech', at least not regular useful software sense. That would be like calling addictive drugs and slot machines an innovation or technology.</p>

<p>So you happen to be a rare example of someone that buys a new car recently, and you live on a narrow road, and you like to do a semi rare act when wide cars approach. And that has shown you a bit of the EU insanity.
Now imagine just how many rules/regulations like this there actually are that you just aren't the aware of. It's insane.</p>

<p>I sold cars for a decade and wouldn't even take the insanely cheap priced company demo car, just driving my 10 year old car instead.<p>On that note though, most car salesman are somewhat stupid, although the best ones are atleast normal. (I was a cal mechE grad and top 0.2% nationwide car salesman). They also slowly brainwash themselves into believing most of what they say.</p>
