  • Do I need moped insurance as a Michigan resident, while riding in Illinois?

    Michigan DOESN'T REQUIRE moped insurance: http://moped2.org/laws/Michigan.htm

    - "Since a moped is not classified as a motor vehicle in Michigan, it is exempt from the insurance laws."

    Illinois REQUIRES insurance: http://moped2.org/laws/Illinois.htm

    - "You must have insurance for the moped."

    Now, I am a resident of Michigan. I am 20 years old. My father claims me on his taxes, but I am a soon-to-be third-year college student at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). Recently, I also moved out of the dorms and I am renting an apartment temporarily during the summer while I work on campus, and during the school year.

    I was pulled over by a cop the other day who was convinced I need insurance, regardless of my Michigan residence. He also implied I SHOULD be an IL resident, even though I am only temporarily living here as a student.

    My question: Do I need moped insurance? Is insurance required based on residence? I know it would be a good idea, but I can't afford it right now, and just need to know if it's LEGALLY REQUIRED.

    Thanks! :DDD

  • Is there a way to measure current / electric pulses with an Android phone?

    I've been thinking of developing an app for the Android that would act as a cheap, accurate tachometer. This would require measuring an electric pulse from a sparkplug wire:

    http://gallery.trailtech.net/media/instructions/co...

    My two options would be A. somehow getting the input to the phone, directly from the sensor (through... what though? Will it accept through USB?) or B. building a bluetooth device to transmit to the phone.. though that'd be expensive I imagine (Or reinventing the wheel!)

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

  • Non-Stereotypical woman relationship question! Help?

    So, question. I've been with this red-headed girl for two years, until recently. I am in Chicago, she in SW MI where I'm from-- I am almost 20, she will be 19 soon. Both in college, she's still living at home; I'm in my 2nd year and she's in her first. I decided it was too much stress-- because it really was. Here are the factors of why I made the decision:

    Factors

    - Her parents are crazy, abuse her physically / verbally / mentally, and are highly 'over-protective', if that's applicable.

    - She's going to be teaching in Thailand for a year, on her own starting this coming May.

    - Stress

    - Long distance

    - Her parents wouldn't let her pick me up from the train anymore because instead of 'filling her gas tank' one night I gave her $10 one night since I was broke

    - She's rather immature at times and instead of listening / understanding, uses my words against me.

    - I met a second girl because of the loneliness created by the loneliness, and took it as a sign that something was going wrong. (Didn't want it to get worse)

    I drove to her house late at night after work one day and told her we needed to not be in a relationship. Ended alright, told her I loved her and I explained everything, after both of us being immensely upset. Then drove off, back to Chicago.

    That was a few weeks ago, maybe a month? A week ago I concluded that she wouldn't heal still talking to me-- that she needed to be alone. I called on the phone and told her that we need to not talk for right now. She took it really badly, and so did I-- never done anything so hard, and never been that upset before. Told her I loved her, she said the same, and that was the end of it. Another set-off for that calling event was her waayy over-reacting to some other girl saying on Facebook that she hugged me--

    Anyhow, I decided I can't not talk to this red-headed girl, after two years of a phone call every night, I can't not talk to her. I also feel like somewhere in our relationship, we lost our element of friendship because of sex-- it was like a bandaid to larger problems, and we ended up talking about that most of the time.

    I contacted her this morning and essentially asked if I could be her friend still, talk to her, because I miss her and can't do it anymore. What it boiled down to was her telling me I need to, " find a way to prove to me that you are serious" which kinda pisses me off.. as what do I have to 'prove' after two years of being with her?

    I have access to a small, mostly reliable motorcycle and a beater of a car. I do not really want to blow $60 on gas getting there and back just to tell her the same things I did this morning. There is, a football game about 15 miles from where she lives at my HS I wanted to attend this Friday, and was thinking of going-- asking her to attend as well so we could talk.

    However, one of my friends said I need to do something notable (can;t think of right word) to attain her interest once more. She is hurt, and I don't think wants to talk to me.

    What should I do? :(

    Really looking here for someone to provide valuable input, as I'm not usually bogged down by relationship **** like this..

    Thank you,

  • Fertility of girl with consistently late period?

    Hey,

    I was wondering what the fertility is like of a girl who consistently has a late period, my girlfriend. She said it has been lasting 3 months with no period, then when she gets it, she has it for over a month. What is her fertility like? Less effective? Maybe everything builds up in those three months, and either increases or decreases chances of getting pregnant?

    Insight would be appreciated!

  • Find a polynomial f(x) with leading coefficient 1 such that the equation f(x) = 0... HELP!?

    Find a polynomial f(x) with leading coefficient 1 such that the equation f(x) = 0 has the given roots and no others. If the degree of f(x) is 7 or more, express f(x) in factored form; otherwise, express f(x) in the form anx^n + an − 1x^n − 1 + + a1x + a0.

  • Do I possibly have mono?

    My girlfriend has been diagnosed with mono (mononucleosis, the 'kissing disease') on Saturday, which was 2 days ago. Before that, she had been feeling ill at the start of the week, about Wednesday or Thursday.

    On the Monday of that week, I kissed her, and pretty passionately.. which means we DID transfer saliva. The last time before that was a week prior, the previous Monday.

    However, as of right now, I feel perfectly fine. I do not seem to have any obvious symptoms for mono.

    My question: If I feel fine now, while she has some symptoms still, does that mean that I either don't have it, or am immune? What are the chances of it being dormant for awhile?

    Also.. when can I kiss her again, affectionately? What's like... the shortest time to wait?

    Thanks! Also.. please don't just copy everything from some medical website-- I've been to many, and am looking for a good opinion of a HUMAN. :)
