    Holy Dog Butt, Batman!

    I agree. I mean, I know Jesus is supposed to be everywhere, but c'mon!

    Holy Dog Butt, Batman!

    I'll never look at Buttered Toast Jesus the same way again. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Holy S***!" Should make you think twice the next time you scoop it up, put in it a plastic bag, and send it the landfill. It's not a coincidence that "dog" spelled backwards is... well, you...

    Unbridled Exuberant Arrogance

    "This Administration also puts forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we demand. That means no more illegal wire-tapping of American citizens. No more national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. No more tracking citizens who do...

    Marie Deep Cell Battery

    Four years is actually pretty good for a battery that has almost certainly been routinely discharged below 50% and has been chronically undercharged. Replace it with two just like it, and keep in mind that it takes considerably longer than an hour or two to put 80 amp hours back into a...

    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    You've said that like nine hundred times now, yet you never are. So, not to put too fine a point on it, why should we believe ANY THING you say when you can't even be true to your word on something this simple?

    Truth or BS?

    Yes No, you're right, it's not entirely accurate. Within the charging system of a vehicle the exciter wire is absolutely necessary for the system to work. But you can bench test an alternator with a drill just the same, and when you rotate that copper coil around a magnet, electricity is...

    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    Exactly. Unless it was you who was the one overpaid in exchange for something, or you personally heard them say they would overpay someone in exchange for something, it's meaningless hearsay. The problem is, this business is like a box of chocolates. You have to eat and examine a lot of...

    Generator Battery Charger?

    I know what it is, I just don't understand it. I don't understand electricity, for that matter. :D

    Truth or BS?

    Depends on the RPM of the drill, and the load, but yeah. It's unlikely that a cordless drill would have enough power in its battery pack to spin the drill at full speed for half an hour under a load like that, though.

    Generator Battery Charger?

    The whole amps/watts/volts thing can be confusing. Don't ask me about Ohms, I ain't got a clue.

    Truth or BS?

    Alternators that are belt driven receive no electrical input with which to generate electricity. ;) Use a drill to power an alternator? It's possible. That's exactly how many alternators are bench tested (alternator, vice, drill with correct size socket). You spin the alternator and as if by...

    ACLU sues government to stop surveillance

    Yeah, 555-555-1111 (that's you) called 555-555-1212 (that's your doctor) for 37 minutes. Five minutes later 555-555-1111 (that's you) called 555-555-1313 (that's an oncology clinic) for 15 minutes. If you can track metadata, you know exactly what is happening, you don’t need the content...

    Generator Battery Charger?

    Yeah, a 40 amps is 4800 Watts, but that's output, not input. 110/120 volt household current circuits are a max of 30 amps, with 20 amps being typical, especially for older wiring. You plug something that draws 40 amps into a household electrical plug and it'll blow or trip a fuse immediately...

    Rabbit food. Rabbits don't eat Yukon Golds, BTW. Although cut in bite-sized pieces, covered in olive oil and sprinkled with rosemary and kosher salt, then baked for 20 minutes won't hurt him. :D

    Ground flight : modern day crooks?

    Interesting that those coming to the rescue of Ground Flight with ringing endorsements are those with single digit posting histories, some of whom weren't even in the business 7 months ago) and a guy from, well, you know, Alabaaamaaaa. (Sorry Scott. Cheap joke, but I crack myself up. :D )

    Solar generator

    It takes 16-20 hours to recharge when plugged into a household AC outlet, and takes 30-40 hours of direct sunlight via two 30W solar panels. The solar generator weighs 116 pounds, with about 90 of those being the 100 Amp Hour AGM battery. Additional AGM batteries can be chained to increase the...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    The thread and the discussion is about the issues of the case and the reporting thereof. Your response included a derogatory remark about Cheri, and there was no reason for it other than to be confrontational. I think it's interesting that you stated her reply was ignorant and closed-minded...
