Subaru brakes

This brake problem on the Scooby is really starting to piss me off. It sounds like one of the brake pads in the calipers at the front is misaligned, or the caliper is sticking or something. About 50% of the time when I brake, it does it now, but today when we were stopping somewhere on State Street, it was buzzing and vibrating, then there was an audible and feelable "clunk" from the front end somewhere and the buzzing and vibration stopped. Next set of lights, the brakes were quiet, then at about 10mph, there was the clunk again and they buzzed and vibrated down to a stop.
I don't care what Mark Miller Subaru say, it's not the rear brakes, it's not the rotors and it's not "just me". The car did not do this before the emissions and inspection when they replaced the front pads. Since then, after 2 return visits to get it fixed, it's continued to do it. It's obviously something they did - I just don't know what. It's going back again tomorrow and they can keep it and give me a loaner until they find the problem and fix it. I'm sick of going back and forth to that place. I've never had a problem with them before now, but this is sorely testing my patience.

The non-separation of the LDS church and Utah state.

Look - I understand that mormons think gays are somehow evil, subhumans. I understand that the LDS won't tolerate gays, doesn't like them and thus won't marry them. But for local government to overturn a supreme court ruling about gay marriage is taking it too far. This is religious persecution on a par with the dark ages. The church doesn't like gays, so it leans on its members in government to do everything possible to prevent them from having the basic rights afforded other couples who want to marry. In other words, the LDS church is forcing it's (wrong) opinion about the LGBT community on everyone, via state and local laws that it has had passed and enforced on its behalf. Why should non-religious people be forced to abide by the opinion of a religious cult that they have no affiliation with? Apart from anything else, the uber-conservatives in this state are always the first ones to bitch when something even slightly unconstitutional happens, yet here they are r

Employees don't want much

I'm sitting looking at my company's internal 'learning' system this morning - hundreds of online courses that are available to all employees, some of which we're mandated to take. I'm not sure why the rest of them exist. We certainly don't have time to do any of the courses, and for the average employee, they hold no relevance to what we do, or want to do in our day-to-day jobs. I for one just want to be assigned tasks, and then be left alone. I don't need to do hazardous material training - my job doesn't involve hazardous materials. I don't need micromanagement. I don't need all the various efficiency and ethics courses that are available because I have common sense. I don't need to be instructed how to use the email system, nor how 'just in time' manufacturing is good for the company (it has no bearing on our division). Ok I understand all of this is corporate C-Y-A but so many of these things are just inconsequential to us. On
