    It is widely believed that the coyotes were intentionally let loose in Chicago to eat rodents and stuff, but they weren't intentionally introduced to Chicago, they came there all on their own. What Animal Control did do intentionally, though, was tag and GPS-collar several of them. It's part of...

    The loaded finger

    For me it was the last line of the very first paragraph: "...the school gears up to expand children’s understanding and tolerance of Islam." Public schools don't do that for any religion, not even Christianity. The ones you redlighted also tugged at mine, but one you didn't highlight did...

    Babies or tissue?

    Yes Depends. Most can, some can't. Depends. 8 states (CA, IL, ME, MA, NV, NJ, WA, WI) explicitly require pharmacists or pharmacies to provide medication to patients. In 7 states (AL, DE, NY, NC, OR, PA, TX) pharmacy boards allow refusals, but prohibit pharmacists from obstructing patient access...

    Deer season beware - photo evidence

    Things get the ugliest between deer and drivers during the month of November, with October and December taking second and third places, respectively. Deer-vehicle crashes are three times more likely to occur in November than any day between February and August. The reason most accidents...

    Babies or tissue?

    Hey, here's an idea. Why not let each person decide for themselves? The right of the people to be secure in their persons, to their right of privacy, to their right to make their own decisions and take personal responsibility for their actions. Well, the government isn't forcing you to have an...

    I would think that if you are an adrenaline junkie, the Dallas Flying J would be far superior to skydiving or bungee jumping.

    It's a satire site, but it's not straight satire, it's satire with a specific political bent and agenda, specifically to foster certain stereotypical beliefs and knee jerk reactions. You know, like Fox News.

    Changes at FedEx Custom Critical

    I'm not sure how clever or brilliant it is. Panther has had the same thing running for years. You even can earn Bronze, Silver or Gold standing stickers to place on your vehicle. And depending on your level of achievement, you get all kinds of added perks. Like, if you have achieved the Gold...

    I went to the link and read the story, and my Turtle Sense alerted me to the fact that this had "Load Of Crap" written all over it. Am I the only one? Actually, whoever wrote the story, and then everyone who put the same story up on their Web site as being true should be FIRED from the...

    Power Inverter for Fridge in Sprinter

    If it draws 60 Watts, that's 5 amps off a 12 volt battery. (amps x volts = Watts, or, Watts / volts = amps) You definitely don't want that kind of a draw off a cranking battery. It would seem all you really need is a 100AH marine/truck battery for your aux battery, hooked to the alternator via...

    Power Inverter for Fridge in Sprinter

    A trickle charger won't charge a battery, it'll only keep it topped off and counter the self-discharge when a battery is stored or unused for a period of time.

    Independent Contractor or misclassification?

    When they are in a bind and have no cheap hauler available, that's when they usually end up paying much higher than market rates.

    Independent Contractor or misclassification?

    Uhm, agreeable to reason or sound judgement, logical, not excessive. Reasonable to the one accepting the load offer. Excessive deadhead where you lose money, even though the rate is perfectly reasonable to the customer who wants their freight moved from A-to-B, and reasonable to the carrier...
