    What would you charge ?

    Situation #1: You're the manager of the Brown's Ferry Nuclear Power Plant in Athens, AL. It's 1AM and a critical piece of equipment has just failed and the power plant is offline. The only replacement part, other than having one fabricated which takes 3 days, is at the Salem Nuclear Power Plant...

    Speed Kills .... Your Pocketbook

    Which part do you disagree with? The results of the studies which all say accidents are redued in areas where the speed limits have been raised, or in allowing people to drive comfortably? Fascinating.

    Radioactive beer

    Well, except for Japanese beer. It's really, really radioactive. Off the charts radioactive. Glows in the dark radioactive.

    Obama lied?

    Pre-tax dollars could be used, for one. For another, it lets people be independent with their money and their health care expenses. It's not a coincidence that Obama Care takes a stealthy approach at killing Medical Savings and Flex Pay Accounts. It started in 2011 when Flex cards and MSA...

    Speed Kills .... Your Pocketbook

    I see your mind is made up. OK. The facts are what they are. Disagreeing with the study (several of them, plural, all showing the same thing) doesn't make them any less factual. Speed limits get raised, accidents go down, I don't know how you can possibly disagree with that. <shrug> OK, now...

    Speed Kills .... Your Pocketbook

    You should probably watch the video again. People don't do 10 MPH over because it's 10 MPH over, they drive at a speed which is safe and prudent regardless of what the posted speed limit is. The 85th percentile. In places where the posted speed limit is 80, people don't drive 90. Vast sections...

    Yellow penske trucks

    My favorite part is where he thinks being overweight in a 10,000 truck will only be, at most, a $1000 ticket. Having a truck that's listed 10,000 GVWR and being overweight is not simply being overweight, especially if it's one that has been de-rated from an over-10,000 pound vehicle to a...

    Speed Kills .... Your Pocketbook

    One thing you constantly hear from insurance companies, police, and the media is that 'speed kills.' Well, it turns out, it doesn't. Many have suspected or know this for a while now, but this video is just brilliant at how it thoroughly debunks the 'speed kills' myth, and shows why the myth...

    Where: NSA Information Dominance Center The Prime Directive: "Collect It All" Just when you thought things with the NSA couldn't get any more absurd, as the NSA scandal moves from outrageously appalling to downright laughable, the latest report in the Guardian shows the current NSA chief spent...

    AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are you?

    Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y I would certainly imagine that it wasn't expected, since being OOS is one of the various things that (is supposed to) prevent you from being called for a random. It's why I avoid the Safety building as much as...
