    Why decent people HATE cops, Chapter 10,310

    Upon review of the review, the whistle was blown in error. The play stands... as soon as we can reset the chains.

    Royal baby on the way

    I just hope the baby isn't red headed.

    Sleep apnea

    A CPAP machine doesn't require a generator. Truckers and boondockers (campers with no shore power or generator) use batteries every day to power their CPAP machines. Most CPAP machines have a DC options where you can connect directly to a battery. That's the most efficient way to do it, since no...

    On a lighter note: Bohemian Rhapsody...

    His post that started this thread didn't revolve around it. It was someone else who steered the thread in that direction. Amonger, much like Pavlov's Dog, simply reacted the only way he knows how. :D As to the video, I think it's amazing. Not only were the voices spot on, but to be able to take...

    There is no transparency here with regard to moderator and administrator actions. Section 11 of the Code of Conduct makes that abundantly clear with, "Likewise, discussions regarding moderator or administrator actions are not permitted on the forum." The only transparency we have here is the...

    Sleep apnea

    Exactly. The FMCSA Medical Advisory Board has to justify their existence the same as the FMCSA does, so they are constantly coming up with recommendations for this or that, usually without any real hard data to recommend it. There's quite a long list that the Advisory Board puts out, and some of...

    No, no. You misunderstood completely. We're not going to continue that conversation here in Web Site and Support Services. A little decorum, common courtesy and intelligence, please.

    Any further comments in this thread should only be made after viewing the video that started this thread, and they should kinda be about the video, rather than about the virtues of :censoredsign:gotry. This is the Loading Dock, not the Soapbox.

    Why decent people HATE cops, Chapter 10,310

    Obviously. Everything about the OP says it's a PM. Why it was posted in public, and not sent via a PM, I can only guess. But it seems fairly obvious. One person's "just curious, that's all," does not a proper on-topic Soapbox thread make. So with that, if anyone is still curious, they can take...

    Why decent people HATE cops, Chapter 10,310

    We made every effort to let it evolve back to civility on it's own, but all it did was devolve into something worse.

    The Staten Island Sandies are P'ssssed off

    Ummmm --- my comment wasn't meant to be funny. It was meant to counteract those who think that's precisely what these camps are for.

    The Staten Island Sandies are P'ssssed off

    I would imagine so, yes. They have fences around them, not to keep people in, but to keep people out. Security is tight, which is to be expected (and also why some people think they are concentration camps or something). But when I drove by you could see plenty of people milling about and none...

    2005 Sprinter starting problem

    Yeah, if it fires up like that, then at least one it still working. Each glow plug is on it's own circuit within the module, each with its own fuse inside the module (the old style module), so it's only that fuse inside the module that actually is toast. You can solder in a new fuse. Some people...

    The Staten Island Sandies are P'ssssed off

    There is a 40 acre FEMA camp in Oceanport, NJ where several thousand refugees are staying. And I drove right past the one on Route 1 and Route 9 in Linden, NJ where the old GM plant was torn down in 2008. That one is a massive tent city, the size of, well, a large GM plant.

    The war on the West thru Christmas

    I think it's a great idea even if the school doesn't charge anything. Schools are built for the communities, and the community should be able to use it, be that community a church group, Boy Scouts, the quilting club or whatever the community has going for it. I think you can say oh no. It's...

    2005 Sprinter starting problem

    Glow plugs either work or they don't. They are like a light bulb, either they come on when you flip the switch, or they don't come on if they are burned out. The vehicle will start without glow plugs, it's just that the colder it is the harder it will be to start, since diesel combustion...

    The war on the West thru Christmas

    Exactly. Observation is not establishment. The whole wining about Nativity scenes and other observances is ridiculous. Ri-dic-u-lous. The argument cannot even be made that such observances will lead to establishment, because history proves undeniably that isn't so. In years gone by such...

    November locations and much more

    I took a load to Louisville on Monday so I could run home and get the wheel bearings replaced. They came in and got that done, then renewed the vehicle registration, got a doctor visit in, several other things done. All ready to come back in-service first thing Friday morning. Except, Thursday...

    The war on the West thru Christmas

    Yes, it is. The only problem, there is nothing in the Constitution prohibiting the sponsorship thereof. Sponsoring a religion is hardly the same as establishing a religion. Not even close. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise...
