    Gays can now marry..

    The America College of Pediatricians is a non-profit special interest lobbying group that lobbies mostly for traditional family values with a mommy and a daddy as the parents. They are part of a growing trend of special interest lobbying advocacy groups to create misleading names with respect...

    Espar in cargo van

    I used a combination of board foam and canned foam, then completely covered with Reflectix silver bubble pack insulation, sealed on the seals with the silver foil tape. I didn't insulate the driver or passenger door at all, and only used foam insulation inside the sliding door. I insulated...

    Espar in cargo van

    My bunk actually presented additional airflow problems that I had to address. I initially had the heat output pointed straight up along the side wall, and no hose connected to the cold air input. Since cold air sinks and warm air rises, all that did was create a situation where it was 110...

    Gays can now marry..

    Yeah. Usually, when homo is used with just the 4 letters instead of the complete "homosexual," it's usually used in a derogatory, disgust-filled manner, in the same way that all things :censoredsign: are used. Homophobic (whatever that means today) slurs is not something we want to promote here, whether...

    Espar in cargo van

    You may have to get serious with the duct work. Just an open hole with the heat blowing out won't properly circulate the air around inside the van. You want a section of hose for the cold air intake on the back of the heater to be as far away from the heat output as possible. I have my heater...

    SC concealed carry in 50 states

    Carry permits have been unsuccessfully argued time and time again under the reciprocity clause. This same-ex marriage ruling doesn't alter the arguments. The Full Faith and Credit Clause—Article IV, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution—provides that the various states must recognize legislative...

    Espar in cargo van

    Gas or diesel, doesn't matter. They put out the same BTUs, the only difference is the amount of fuel required to do it. Gas requires slightly more fuel because gasoline has less energy content than does diesel.

    High and tight

    The school district never called it a Mohawk. The principle never called it a Mohawk. The policy specifically states "No mohawks, no haircuts that are distracting," and that's exactly what the note sent home from the principle stated. The only person arguing using the Mohawk argument is the...

    Espar in cargo van

    Yeah, an Espar will heat the van plenty whether it's insulated or not. If it's insulated, the heater just won't have to run on high as long or work as hard to do it.

    High and tight

    It didn't happen 3 or 4 years ago, it happened in March of 2015. The school district released a statement on March 25th (Press Release~pdf) in response to the article printed in the March 22nd edition of the Southern Standard newspaper. They're is no specific district-wide policy on haircuts...

    High and tight

    Without knowing the rules on haircuts at the school, I really can't say. I really doubt the principal made the kid change the haircut because it was a military style cut, and military style cuts are the only styles that are against the rules. More likely the rule is 'no buzz cut designs' and if...

    High and tight

    I had hoped by now that people had learned how to drop a name into a Google search and read the news reports (political blogs are not news reports). In this case that's harder to do because it's pretty much the McMinnville newspaper and a bazillion right wing Blogs, because, you know.... fake...

    June in Load One land

    Precisely. It's not whether or not gays should marry, but the process, and how the Supreme Court trampled that process with their own personal opinions, rather than whether the laws it was deciding were constitutional. I mean, like, the majority opinion talked about how the children of gay...

    June in Load One land

    If you can't see the difference, then any answer I give you will be meaningless. But here ya go, anyway. Interracial marriage was about equal protection under the law. It did not redefine what marriage actually was, and still left the definition of marriage up to the states. So no, neither...

    Yes, it is. The Constitution and Democracy took a pretty hard hit today, though.
