    Kind of an odd question to ask someone who hadn't indicated that they couldn't imagine something worse, but OK. That's simply not true. Even Michigan law, as well as the laws of other states that clearly define "home invasion" as a crime, clearly and plainly state that a Home Invasion is the...

    Yes, blood lust. You want the guy dead. Shooting him isn't enough for you. You've stated that more than once now. I don't disagree with any of that.

    Big Bang: Is there room for God?

    You don't understand air? :D Faith is the ability to have a strong or unshakeable belief in something, especially without proof or evidence, particularly in religious doctrines not based on reason. Faith is often bolstered by the use of illusory corollary for things one cannot see of...

    Sprinter 2004-2006 Low miles vs 2008 High miles

    Average lifespan of an original Sprinter transmission is 350,000 miles. Any that get significantly less than that have been subjected to towing or hauling-weights out of the recommended tolerances, or they have not had their fluids changed at the proper intervals or with the correct fluid. At...

    Juuuuust like you did. Same with you, dood. You weren't there, didn't access the situation, and your life was not in any danger, either. Well, I never said she did wrong, and I most certainly never said I would would rather see this girl murdered, or worse (whatever "worse" might be), and I...

    When I was a senior in high school we had a student teacher in the music department for the first half of the year. She was a senior at the University of Cincinnati doing her student teaching internship as part of her teaching degree. She was 21, I was 18, so it wasn't that bad. It was a really...

    Straight Truck "cross wind" question

    There is, but it also factors in the center of gravity. The center of gravity is the point where ½ the mass is above and ½ the mass is below (which is not necessarily in the middle). Tractor-trailers already have a high center of gravity, and when you load freight into it the center of gravity...

    What if... her neighbor friend, a 12 year old boy, saw someone trying to break in and yelled "Hey!" when he heard the broken glass, which scared off the intruder, and then timidly entered the house to see if Kendra was OK, not realizing he should loudly announce himself when he entered? He...

    Well, the 02-03 models had significant problems that were fixed in the 04-6 models. The 07-08 models had significant problems that were fixed in the 09-11 models. The jury is still out on the 12 models.

    That's precisely why Honey BooBoo and company got renewed for another season. Fortunately, I haven't yet stumbled upon that show yet, so I don't really know what I'm missing.

    Private between married people. That's typical American prudish. Especially since the picture wasn't much more than you'd see in the Sears catalog or the Sunday paper shopping inserts.

    If you're going to place her into the category of "Clinton Style Bimbo", then you have to assume a heckuvalot more than the face value of the story. The iCloud can sync all of your content (movies, music and photos) across all of your devices. It would make sense if the teacher registered...

    Sprinter - Help please!

    A photographic memory? No, I can barely remember my own phone number. I tend to remember what I think is important, and discard the rest, same as most people do, I guess. I'm pretty good at knowing how to quickly look something up to refresh my memory on the details, and to double-check my...

    The students said the teacher must have pressed something in order to get her iPhone to sync up with the pads. That much is true. Her phone didn't spontaneously sync with a bunch of other devices all on its own. Either the teacher synced it, or left her phone unattended so that someone else could.

    The power steering pulley is the upper right, driver's side (as looking at it while standing in front of the engine). Power steering and transmission fluid are both red in color (could look brown in the dark). It's a rather large pulley as compared to the tensioner pulley (just below and to the...

    That makes as much sense as a teacher swearing in class, and then suspending the students because they heard it. The question is, did any of the administrators or other teachers in the school see that picture? Uh, oh.

    October Locations and Banter

    30 seconds is about right. Another 30 seconds and I was snoozin'. The prospect of facing that rush hour ahead of me prompted me to pull over and take a nap, since I didn't have to (and couldn't) deliver until the next morning, a couple of hours down the road.
