They might have some flat-screen TVs that are DC powered, but like everything else at a truck stop, they'll be even more overpriced what what you're getting than the AC-powered units are. I'd recommend the AC version, since if you ever want to remove it from the trucks and use it in the house...

2 out of 3, 7 out of 10, 15 out of 22, yeah. Some look at it as forced and taking the independent out of independent contractor, but just like a customer with a roofing contractor, if the contractor says no enough times the customer won't use him as often. It would be nice to have actions...

Three licks with a rough cat tongue. Actually, it is accounted for in your Acceptance Rate percentage. Your Acceptance Rate is calculated based on how many loads you refused divided by the number of loads you are offered. It is calculated using the previous entire calendar month, plus all of...

In that case, I suggest you look up both "fair" and "fairness" in the dictionary. You might also want to look up "definitive." Or perhaps even better, please tell us your definition of "fairness," and perhaps "justice" while you're at it. Just because these terms aren't codified in absolute...

More than 8 hours means the load doesn't pick up for at least 8 hours from now. A refusal isn't counted if it is offered to you more than eight hours in advance of the pickup time. It's 0900 and they offer you a load that doesn't pick up until 2200, you can turn it down without suffering a...

Wait... men aren't supposed to be wearing high heels? Well, crap! And these are my new steel-toe work boots. They're awesome with my new Load 1 cоcktail hoodie.

"I'm not against half naked girls, not as often as I'd like to be."

Fairness is very easily defined. It's simply evenhandedness, the quality of being fair, free from bias or injustice. The problem comes when people want to redefine it for their own purposes. There are lots of words like that where people want to just give them new definitions to fit their...

I have some degree of familiarity (fairly significant I'd say) with Apple products and the current state of things as far as customizing, modifying, and otherwise hacking either the Mac or iOS' ... and I'd echo Paul's statements verbatim. Apple offers very limited and restricted customizing...

Thanks for pointing out the typo. I appreciate it.

Very few people outside of the Maison Blanche thought that Obama being able to decide when Congress was and was not in session was gonna fly. They'll appeal it to the Supreme Court, but it's not gonna fly there, either. As Chief Judge David Sentelle wrote in the 46-page ruling, "Allowing the...

That's not anything new, though. Section 504 is existing law. Help with glucose testing (finger prίck) and insulin administration (needle injection) is not really anything out of the ordinary for a athletic coach to be dealing with, anyway. They deal with all kinds of health and injury issues on...

Close. They use smaller motorcycle-type batteries made by Werker. They are AGM batteries in the 7 or 8 Ah range. I'm guessing this one, or something very close to it. This page has some videos showing how to assemble the thing, and how to recharge the battery. Can't get a clear enough look at...

In this case, the blinders are taking the summary wordings of a reporter as a proxy for the DOE in lieu of the actual wording in the actual PDF of the actual DOE. For example, it's ludicrous to think that "wheelchair football" or "legless swimming" will ever have a "comparable standing" to...

Oregon Aero Softseat It turns the Sprinter's auf Deutsche seat into a butt-caressing thing of beauty.

But, beginning a sentence in that manner is a useful writing tool to highlight or emphasize a particular point. And, it can often do a better job at it than more formal conjunctions. A sentence beginning with and or but will tend to draw attention to itself and its transitional function...

If you put a bunch of women together long enough their menstrual cycles will synchronize. A entire battalion with automatic weapons and PMS is a scary thing.

CharlesD, why are you letting Andy Clark drive? (It's a little Dennis Milleresque, I know, but someone will get it, and it'll be hilarious)

It's brutal. And it makes me sad. On the upside, I'm at the yard and you're not. So you're spared at least that. :D Yesterday I picked up a hoodie and a t-shirt that I ordered. I wanted them to be a little roomy so I ordered them in 4X instead of 3X. It made sense at the time, like 3 or 4...
