"A community consistently subjected to violent discrimination under the law will lose respect for it, and act beyond it." The Near Certainty of Anti-Police Violence

What's going to happen if you get kicked out of a Pilot? And then a TA? And then a Petro?

Walmart can be a little weird on that, because they get scammed a lot on return. They generally will want to mark the original receipt somehow showing that an item on the receipt has been returned. Most places, certainly most big box stores, can look up and print out an original for you, if...

Don't say "felt the rectal pressure" and "plugged in" in the same sentence.

I'm 4 of those already.

The problem with that is, seeing colour is part and parcel of being human. Everybody's a little bit racist. There's an evolutionary advantage to being so. Of course, it's not actually race, or colour, really, as there really is only one race, homo sapiens sapiens. Race isn't a biological thing...

For that particular model of inverter generator, and of inverter generators in general, that's true. Until very recently (2008) Generac has never been much into the consumer recreational and sporting generator market. Prior to 1998 Generac's portable products division (portable generators...

And there are incidents of black people wrongdoing and brutally against police officers, but it's also a statistically small percentage. However, regardless of any massaging of statistics to bolster a political or racist viewpoint from the right or the left, the evidence that people get pulled...

It would be a mistake to confuse a candid analysis of the causes of reprehensible acts (the killing of people who pose no immediate or legitimate threat) with a justification of those acts. To do so is insulting.

You can get that at Home Depot and Cabella's for the same $719. It certainly should be quieter, since it's an 80cc engine versus Honda's 98.5cc engine. It bothers me (well, more like it's hilarious) that they won't list the decibels for the unit, flatly stating that they're is no standard for...

Who has said the police deserved what happened, or has tried to justify the ambush of police officers?

It's a long, slow boil. What happened in Dallas is tragic, deplorable and abhorrent, but hardly surprising. We've seen a little of that in the last couple of years where police have been ambushed, and we'll see more of that in the future. When you abuse anyone long enough, be it a dog, a wife...

Go to Walmart or Sears and buy a 9 cu ft fridge/freezer, 1200 watt hours per day, for $400-$500. Get a high efficient 12 volt version, which uses 450 watt hours, for $1600. Get a 13.5k btu rooftop air conditioner that pulls 1600 watts per hour for $800. Get a 12 volt version, same btu but for...

What you're paying for isn't the cage facade, but rather the efficient, low amp draw motor. Turn the fan on and get it up to speed, which happens very quickly, then turn the fan off and see how long the friction of the motor bearings (bushings, actually) take to slow and finally stop spinning...

I don't know all the details, but the manager gave me a few of them. Some involved drugs, white unmarked vans, and two vans from the same expedite carrier, and there was some kind of issue with missing children, also involving white unmarked vans. But, really, the biggest reason is that it's...

It's temping to do that, I know. It won't take long, though, before you've forced yourself to not be able to park at any national chain truckstop, or Walmart. There are certain locations from every national chain where you cannot park for one reason or another. There are PilotFlying Js where you...

The TA is pretty good about van parking. Every now and then you might run into a place with some particular issues that has caused the manager to forbid vans. But generally, at least with TA, all it takes is a phone call to let them know about it, or ask if they can clarify the situation. No...

The police do the investigating and then they make their recommendations to the prosecutor. That's all that happened here.

And right on cue, Loretta Lynch announces the Clinton email case closes with no charges being filed against anyone within the scope of the investigation. In a side note, maybe that will rip the phrase "career prosecutor" out of the lexicon. Sheesh I've never seen anyone try so hard to convince...

Yeah, it's very knowledgeable. He's probably best known around here for his Espar installs, since he's partnered with Espar of Michigan to do installs and repairs. But he's a highly experienced car and diesel mechanic. He can install a house battery bank, inverters, whatever an expediter might need.
