    Trucks Not Moving From Pumps

    I've seen the exact same thing happen. Twice that I can recall the trucks at least pulled up to and then on through the pumps, to the same place you'd fuel up and then pull forward. But today I saw it where a truck pulled up to the pump, and the driver and his co-driver both went inside and sat...

    You stated that you didn't know what the <shrug> nor the <snort> meant when I use them. I explained it, and you either don't like the answer, can't comprehend it, or are still convinced it means something other than what I said it means, because now you're telling me what I mean when I use it...

    Sorry about that. :D

    NSA, watch what you say?

    The truth I can handle just fine, it's the lies, and the defense thereof, that I have a problem with. I'll grant you the possibility that what you say may have been at one time how targets were tasked, collected and analyzed, but to anyone who has been paying attention it is clear that those...

    Piers Morgan, lying sack of

    One can never underestimate the irresistible pull on some people of the opportunity to type "fecal mater" into an EO thread. The pull is almost as strong as the Pee Effect is in morphing as many threads as possible into discussions of all things Number One. With regard to Morgan, under most...

    NSA, watch what you say?

    I'm just trying to get at the truth, but all I'm getting out of the NSA guy is, "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."

    Pulled Muscle

    That implies that you somehow thought the <shrug> itself was supposed to indicate something about the text that preceded it. I'm not sure why you would think that, as I've never indicated that it should. But OK. I'm glad it's finally clear to you now that the <shrug> doesn't indicate anything at...

    NSA, watch what you say?

    It's a simple question. Why won't you answer it? Experience may be real, and stories may be fiction, but so far everyone connected with the NSA has been proven to be a liar. And I'm supposed to eat your dust on this issue?

    Actually, it's off-topic ad hominem interspersed with unfounded accusations and blatant characterizations using a foundation of semantics and an incredible amount of pedantics that are incorrectly used. The nature of my statement is what it is. How you choose to infer that nature is up to you...

    NSA, watch what you say?

    So, you're saying that Clapper, Inglis and others with the NSA have lied about all of this in sworn testimony to Congress when they got caught and were presented with classified NSA documents and admitted to precisely what I posted? And I should believe you.... beeeecuz you were with the NSA and...

    Yes, that was already established in Post #8, paragraph two.

    Load Documents

    They're required to show you the customer's line haul bill, what the paying customer is charged. That customer could be the shipper or the consignee, or some 3pl, or it could be an in-house brokerage that sold the load to the carrier.

    Sometimes a Good One

    He's very good, and funny, but he tends to be, especially with the Madden impression, a little too much on the mean-spirited side for my tastes.

    Espar question

    No, you cannot get by without killing your starting battery. You won't kill it right away, but you will drastically reduce the life of the starting battery. The starting battery is designed for one thing, to provide large amounts of current all at once, and not for low amp draws over long...

    NSA, watch what you say?

    And I would say that your insight is in direct opposition to not only Clapper's testimony before Congress and his and other's irrefutable actions at the NSA, but also in direct opposition to one of the NSA's founding documents: NSA United States Signal Intelligence Directive (USSID) 18 : Page 3...

    NSA, watch what you say?

    And yet they do. The problem with their charter is that they ignore half of it and the creatively interpret the other half to enable them to do whatever they want. The law is keeping up with it just fine, with regard to the NSA. The problem is the NSA has been systematically obfuscating the...

    No. I had hoped the light hearted nature of the response and the <shrug> would have been enough, but apparently not. Not really sure what that has to do with the substance of the debate, but OK... My response to you was not based on semantics, it based on what you actually said. You stated, "I...

    Pulled Muscle

    That's certainly your call. You do realize that "anti-inflammatory" simply refers to the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation, or, in simpler terms, reduces swelling. That could be an ice pack, a NSAID, or simply raising the inflamed muscle to a level above your heart...
