For a Victorinox Swiss Army knife, even a badly worn one like that, it's about 5 minutes from start to finish, going up though the 4 or 5 grit levels. For a headlamp it's certainly more work, half hour, but that can be sped up with a drill or a power sander, as long as you have the finer grits...

He's very well educated on the Civil War, despite the fact that he will never call it that (he thinks it's The War of 1861) and is a far right conservative who's education of the subject as well as his presentation of it, is colored by his conservative bias. He starts off here with an invalid...

This is what a few minutes of wet sanding with successive finer grit sandpapers, followed up with liquid polishing compound, will do to plastic.

I have no doubt that to some people, mostly younger, mostly those unaware of its history, mostly white, do not see much if any racism connected to it. It also does not surprise me in the least that those who do find it racist, and those who don't, are so clearly drawn along party lines, with...

That link will never work. This one will, though. Massie has direct insight, in sight of the bank, that is. Everything he does it's for the cash. I think it's remarkable that he thinks it's remarkable that an inanimate object doesn't talk to him. Massie writes, "For millions, the Confederate...

But women today are, in fact, getting that information, which is the point. And you may not have been told about any possible conflict when you took Ampicillin because there might not have been one. Ampicillin doesn't automatically in and of itself negate the effectiveness of oral...

Sort of, maybe. But my first post doesn't try and draw any conclusions. Concluding there are "other elements may also be secret and entirely free from public scrutiny" is a logical fallacy, because it assumes there are, simply because two secret agreements have become known. People use "begs the...

Every prescription medication comes with information about side effects and drug interactions. No one taking oral contraceptives should ever be shocked, surprised or blind-sided by the fact that Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Tetracycline, or Rifampin (used to treat tuberculosis) has rendered their...

As if smacked (slapped) in the gob (mouth) (Irish / Scottish). It's why jawbreakers (Canada and the US) are called gobstoppers in England.

“That we are only now discovering that parts of this dangerous agreement are being kept secret begs the question of what other elements may also be secret and entirely free from public scrutiny,” Begging the question logical fallacy. :D

No, but I did spot the diner where the owner screamed at the toddler the other day. I didn't eat there, but I drove right by it.

I haven't yet seen a moose. Once in a while they'll come down into northern VT and NH, but they're routinely all over the northern 2/3 of Maine. And often they'll be standing in the middle of the road. But I didn't see nary a one on the way up to Madawaska or on the way back down. Very...

Let him do one then come back 2 weeks later and make him give you $40 if it's cloudy again. :D

It'll be more like once a week. Transmission fluid will shine them right up, but a few days later they'll look worse than they did to begin with. Any kind of light oil, including WD-40 will do the same thing. The oil makes them look shiny, but the oxidation is still there. Use the ATF or some...

It's looking grim for me on the Expo. I'm in Portland, ME now. Took a load over to a house in Southport, ME, which is out on Southport Island just off the coast. There's a road to it, so I didn't have to take a ferry. Didn't even feel like an island. Delivered out to the tip of the island, and...

The bun is a major component of a lobster roll, and this one really falls a little short of what it should be, but other than that it's actually quite tasty. They found a good supplier of lobster meat. It's pump and juicy and meaty. The lobster snobs, er, aficionados, who live on the coast right...

... but on the other hand a good Texan would have just shot him.

At a McDonald's in Maine.

One thing you'll find is the more you learn about this business, the more there is to learn about this business. You learn one thing and it suddenly opens your eyes up to those 34 things over there you need to earn about.

Playing fast and loose with the word "wisdom" there, aren't ya? :D
