    Disappearing Industry

    I didn't have to be there. His patents were examined and found not to work, and he was found in court to be a fraud. His entire process has been replicated by several scientists, including NASA, and found to not work. If any one his patents worked, they would have been copied and currently be...

    The Left and Reverends

    He never declared a political party, nor did he ever publicly endorse a political candidate, but he did privately endorse JFK. However, he tended to vote "the man" rather than "the party" in most national and local elections, some Democrats, some Republicans. He liked the Kennedys and LBJ, but...

    Mixing Battery Types

    Now I'm confused. You said you are running a laptop and a few gadgets off an inverter. I assumed, possibly incorrectly, that the inverter is plugged into the 12-volt plug on the dash, or by some other connection to the cranking battery. Using an isolator or a separator is the only way to use a...

    The Left and Reverends

    The educated academic Mr. Doctor of Philosophy PhD King can lead a revolution, but no way will the left allow a Republican pastor to do that. Nope, nope, nope. Didn't happen.

    Mixing Battery Types

    So, you're using your cranking battery as if it were a deep cycle battery. Well, you'll have to wire that other battery up to the alternator to get it charged. You do that with a battery isolator. That way, when the key is OFF and the engine isn't running, the aux battery is totally isolated...

    Your best bet is to go through the tunnel before 6AM, because it's cheaper. Then find where you are delivering to, and if there is an alley behind the address (almost certain is), then that's where you'll likely deliver to, and it's where you should go and try to park until they open. That's...

    Disappearing Industry

    I believe what the evidence shows, and do so without jumping to "wants and wishes" conclusions. I didn't limit it to Big Oil. I limited to the unlimited by the use of "whatever." In any event, the "They poisoned me," was a claim made by his bother, a claim which no one else even heard. He didn't...

    Oh, puhleeze. Dood had a history if high blood pressure, and died of a brain aneurysm, with no trace whatsoever of any poison in his system. His hydrogen power car is exactly the same thing that gets bandied about every time fuel prices go up, which is simple electrolysis using a battery to...

    Disappearing Industry

    The vast majority of lead in lead acid batteries comes from recycled lead from lead acid batteries. Recycled lead is exactly as pure as virgin lead. As for the conspiracy of keeping the MPG down on vehicles, there is none. The physics of the internal combustion engine, and of the energy stored...

    Disappearing Industry

    Not really. For one, very few trucking companies are actually shut down for safety violations. The very few that are, however, are shut down because they present a danger to the public, not to their own drivers. Two, coal companies get more than just a slap on the wrist. You remember the Upper...

    One thing I always do is whenever I leave the van unattended for more than a few minutes, like to go in and take a shower, the windows are always covered up. That way someone doesn't see everything in there, and they don't know if anyone is in there or not. That's the theory, anyway.

    Ancient Aliens?

    Yep. Scientists have been faking stuff and inventing data since the scientific method was invented. But it's that same scientific method that gets them in the end.

    Ancient Aliens?

    You'd think that with all those scientists, it would occur to one of them to publish the finding in a scientific journal. And they would, if it had any scientific validity.

    air brake

    If you don't have a CDL, you can drive a non-CDL truck with air brakes, no problem. However, if you have a Class A or a Class B CDL, your license will automatically have an Air Brake Restriction ("L" in most states). You must past the written test on Air Brakes to have the restriction removed...

    NSA spying is ok

    Transcript of the speech. Basically, he says, Oh, we're still gonna collect all this stuff. Don't be silly, we're not gonna stop that. We can, therefor we will. We just won't be the ones physically holding onto the data (even though the NSA is the only entity on the planet with enough...

    Think if a hurricane hits New Orleans just as the Mississippi River is fully swollen to the brim from the Spring floods, instead of hitting in August and September like it did. Or, think about if the river is swollen and the New Madrid fault gives a hiccup We had two busloads of people come into...

    Stole it. I did have to snip part of screen capture, then upload it to Photobucket, and then post the direct link to here, so it did require effort. But not much. Compare countries to countries, or states: MapFight - India vs Texas (US) size comparison See any item displayed in actual size...

    Well... Three of the six reactors suffered meltdowns, releasing deadly radiation into the atmosphere and the ocean. The three that didn't meltdown were not powered up at the time of the tsunami. Four days into the meltdowns the overheating caused the unavoidable reaction between the water and...
