    Phones Best mobile broadband for expediters

    Dish, DirectTV, Hughes, they all have satellite internet, but it's expensive, more expensive than cell carriers, and they throttle you like crazy after your cap, which is generally 2.5 gigs.

    New FMCSA medical standards

    It's the difference between posting with my phone while on a load, and posting with my computer after delivery. :D

    New FMCSA medical standards

    Sorry, I didn't mean to come off sounding cryptic, nonsensical or evasive. You asked about FMCSA standards for sleep studies, I assume in the context of sleep apnea, and the answer is, simply, there are no FMCSA standards for that, at all. It's been talked about, fretted about, and cried...

    New FMCSA medical standards

    There are no standards because there is no mandatory sleep study, least not by the FMCSA.

    Climate change - got your guns loaded? - fire when ready

    Absolutely. Any scientists who come out with data showing it's not human induced will receive no more funding for human induced global warming studies. The problem is we know so little about local climates, and even less about global climates. A butterfly flaps its wings in China and it rains...

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    The use of the word "too" indicates that you think Brisco is an expediter. He's not. Never has been. He sells used office furniture, and it's a position that enables him to sit atop his high and mighty perch so as to be able to kick someone when they are down, and to be able to consider himself...

    Phones Best mobile broadband for expediters

    You really only have a couple of viable options. One is to simply bump up to a higher tiered plan with AT&T (or Verizon), and the other is to make the best use of available free WiFi. There are no national carriers with unlimited data plans anymore, at least not ones that don't clamp down hard...

    "Incoming Cell Phone Calls"

    Go all Liam Neeson on them. "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for money, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for...

    Famous presidential lies

    In this case, the humor is clearly from a conservative source. But so what? It's funny. And why is it funny? It's funny because it's truuuuuu. :D

    Famous presidential lies

    It's humor. That's the context. How would knowing the source change that context? Would knowing the source somehow make the humor more, or less funny? The humor isn't about the source, it's about the humor.

    NJ Gov Christie to be probed.

    Part of Christie's state, the places where he grew up, were destroyed in a storm, and many Republicans think he should have played politics during that time.

    lease purchase program

    Because of my internet connection's hiccup during the move, one of Crazynuff's posts inadvertently got caught in the move. It got moved to the Truck Wash, too, and is now dated 1969, the same year that Rod Serling's Nigh Gallery first aired on TV. It's weird, because when it happened, I felt a...

    Before good GPS

    I find it easier to just blame Jill. Thousands of people listen to Jill every day. She's the voice of the Garmin GPS (American Jill), T-Mobile, Nuance's REALSPEAK text-to-speech engine, dozens of IVR and touch tone systems, plus national commercial, documentary and training narrations.

    Cincinnati Pothole Warning

    Ohio is the only state that doesn't contain any letters in common with mackerel. Just thought you'd like to know that.

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    You aren't, but the insurance companies are. They get to claim the difference between what you pay and what you are eligible for. In your case, they claim the difference between your subsidy and the $976, because $976 is what you'd pay for full-priced, non-discounted insurance. That's the...

    Maybe Obamacare is good for America.

    The subsidy is tax dollars that pays directly for your affordably priced, discounted medical care, and for your premium. The money gets paid by the federal government directly to the insurance company. Healthcare.gov is one hundred percent all about government subsidized private insurance...
