I have to agree with Dave who agrees with Bluz, it's INSANEsquared. Someone will call the police to report a kidnapped baby in a truck, and they will come out and find that it's not kidnapped, but is rather being abused by subjecting it to a ridiculous amount of diesel particulate matter in a...

No GPS is going to work flawlessly in any canyon, be it the Grand one or the canyons of a large downtown city, with downtown Chicago and New York being particularly bad with satellite reflections off buildings, which throws off the timing of the signals, so the GPS receiver thinks it's in a...

I've got a Dish Network "Tailgater" satellite dish. I used to have the VuQube V-10, but it finally died. After replacing it, it turns out the problem was simply an unplugged cable connection inside the Qube. Oh, well, the new one is way better. If you have Dish Network at home, the Tailgater...

One Sioux chief turns to a Navajo chief and says, "How about the many enclaves & neighborhoods that speak primarily foreign languages, like English, French, Spanish, Portuguese. Do we allow those languages to dominate the public discourse, too?" In a nation of immigrants, the notion that...

OK, John. You said give you a shout next time I'm at the yard. So, uhm, HEY!!! :D

At least it's uber consistent with his posting history thus far. <hint, snort> Ernest T. Bass comes to mind. He doesn't come into town very often, but when he does he just throws rocks at windows.

Unlikely. More likely they're just like you and me, and they speak the language they are most comfortable speaking.

After the PM I now know which shop it is, or at least the name of it. What I don't know is the historical or present politics surrounding the shop, nor why Wolfman is mad. What I do know is the history of Sprinters that have been left uncovered and exposed to the elements. What I do know is what...

Well, duh, of course it was poetic license. It was employed to illustrate the ridiculousness of someone from Australia administering a linguistics test to anyone in America, especially one who is a native speaker of Spanish from a border town, where 99% of the citizens there speak primarily...

Holy crap! I'll be shocked if they replace the motor and the thing runs. Half the wiring and electronics, especially some of the sensors, will be or already have been ruined if it's been rained or snowed on. It's a friggin' Mercedes, not a farm tractor. You put the hood back on, or tarp the...

HaPpY BiRtHdAy!

The Arizona thing is pretty interesting. As a condition of Statehood, Arizona's constitution requires all public officials to do their duties in English and without the aid of a translator. So in that respect it's cut and dry. However, previous City Council members who likewise have barely a...

Now that's a Hard Day's Night even at Eight Days a Week! :D

I understand. It's not a problem. :)

Weeeeellllll..... Delivered in Cottondale on Thursday 02/02/2012 10:26 EST, had a dry run on Monday 02/06/2012 15:20 EST which reset the clock, so it's actually 127 hours. But, just a few minutes ago I got a load out of Birmingham. Going to pick it up now, that way OVM will be up top when he...

When you want to copy TEXT, the best way is to highlight it, but highlighting it also works for images. But for images, it's usually easier to just right-click and elect COPY.

You guys really need to use Lastpass. Even my 75-year old technotard stepdad uses it.

If you hit "Go Advanced" it takes you to the Advanced Editor screen. It's a feature. You know, a feature. :D

The truck you are looking for is a truck for expediting. So, I gotta ask, what does a mobile mechanic who stays within 135 miles of home need with an expediter truck, with a sleeper? I would think that a mobile mechanic could get better use for cheaper, out of a, you know, mobile mechanic's truck.

It's just another flavor of external Bluetooth speaker phone. They make 'em to go on your sun visor, too. The noise canceling is mediocre at best.
