    Hey, you could put an eye out with that thing!

    You should look up the statistics for crashes with a teen driver by themselves, versus one and two additional teen passengers.

    Espar heaters

    If you're getting emission odors, that's not supposed to happen, unless you're getting them in through a window or a hole under the truck when those odors exit the Espar's tail pipe.

    First kill all the lawyers

    Ah, OK, yeah, I know what you're talking about now. It wasn't exactly that clear cut. The practice of law by those uneducated in the law was getting out of hand back then, and largely continued in the colonies through 1776, where even John Adams complained bitterly about laymen practicing the...

    Oh, I know what it means. I just think he needs to grow a pair and state his case if he's going to make a statement like that. He's got one whole post in this thread, where he quoted my comments to you, and thinks an honest answer to a question you posed is an evidentiary exhibit of some kind...

    First kill all the lawyers

    That must be one of those Internet "facts." The Virginia Colony was founded in 1607 by the Virginia Company of London, an investment group comprised chiefly of lawyers from the royal court. In 1619 the oldest continuous legislative body in the New World was founded, the Virginia General...

    Nogalis, AZ; Is There Any Freight Outta There

    Same here, just one night. I think the longest I've been there before getting a load out was 36 hours. It's true that not nearly as much freight comes out of there as Laredo or El Paso, since the vast majority of stuff coming across that border entry is fruits and vegetables. But there is...

    Many may be, but most are not. Most really and truly are independent studies that were not hired by anyone to do the studies. There is a university in my home town that has two different ongoing studies that are not commissioned in any way, specifically to prevent the numbers from being skewed...

    $80 for a 128 GB flash drive? That's pretty awesome.

    Yeah, it's a really, really nice, top-of-the-line, high-end battery. If you're running lots of stuff it's the battery to have. But for just an Espar heater and maybe a few small inverter loads, a cheap "marine" or "truck" battery is all you need. Just don't try to use a regular car cranking...

    Not really. Most of the studies have been done by independent groups and universities not tied to grant money from the government or special interest groups. Even if you think "problem = ONLY an accident" you're not gonna like the real numbers. 23% of all crashes are directly attributable to...

    You're a 12-year old girl who has just been kidnapped, hands tied behind your back, and thrown into the back seat of a car. You manage to reach into your back pocket and retrieve your phone. You type in an emergency text plea for help, but it doesn't get sent, because you're in a moving car...

    Not only that, but unlike most places, they are very, very experienced in installing them in vans and Sprinters, which present different challenges than big trucks.

    Wife Convinced Husband to Shoot Neighbor for Raping Her 'Telepathically'

    What's interesting is that he was found competent to stand trial. Selleneit (the husband who shot the neighbor) has been diagnosed with what was referred to as an "organic brain disorder with a labile affect, periodic delusional thought process, poor judgment [and] poor impulse control," which...

    Fool's history

    Yeah, that one jumped out pretty hard at me, as well. Saying that it wasn't a fact until the Heller decision of the Supreme Court is disingenuous, at best. Just because the Supreme Court hasn't ruled on something doesn't make it not a fact. The first court test of the Second Amendment's intent...

    It's really pretty simple. Your use of the word ":censoredsign:gotry" and all of its various and sundry derivatives, over and over and over and over and over again ad nauseum was becoming annoying and nauseating to the membership here, was becoming dangerously close to SPAMing and ranting which was...

    That I'm wrong about what? That I'm wrong to not take stuff from previous threads and ignorantly and incorrectly apply those contexts to this one? That I'm wrong about understanding a Shakespeare reference when translated to journalists? That I'm wrong for not thinking that Leo is actually...
