Doesn't matter if it's 1 mile, 3 miles or 30 miles, a single lane of traffic in which no one has to slow down to let someone into the line will move faster than any other merging scenario. Amonger nailed it - from the point of the single line forward, traffic moves smoother and quicker than at...

I don't care how much reassignment surgery you have or how you "feel", if you still have your uterus and all the associated hardware that goes with it, you're not a man. The Carrier Forums would be funny. So would the Layover Lounge. I'd have been tempted to stick in Women's View. :D But here...

In a classic magician's misdirection trick, while everyone has their eye on the debt talks (which is barely moderately important), the Senate Intelligence Committee is quietly and secretly meeting to extend the FISA Amendments Act (recursively called the FAA) of 2008, which you may vaguely...

Neither is Panther, actually. The rate is dependent on Canada or not, HAZMAT endorsement or not. If you have neither, it's .72, if you have one or the other it's either 74 or 75, I forget, but since Panther requires a CDL of some kind, most van drivers have a Class C with a HAZMAT endorsement...

If so, I've got an unopened Lt Cyan, Magenta, Lt Magenta, and a Yellow you can have. Send me a PM. My five year old Photosmart C-5180 all-in-one finally died. Power plug on the rear of the printer was loose and kept shorting out, wouldn't hold a connection. Office Depot has an HP ePrint...

Well, OK. Months of free commercial Classified advertising finally came to and end. Now, months of free commercial Forum advertising comes to and end, as well. It was fine during the question and answer period, but that all ended with Post #88 which was a blatant bump for an unsolicited free ad...

Very, very few on-ramps have YIELD signs. Most are MERGE signs. Not that that matters a great deal in most cases, as traffic already on the road does have the legal right-of-way for both YIELD and MERGE. The problems come with the attitudes of some who think YIELD and MERGE mean the same thing...

Seems that you need to realize the same thing. He pulled in behind you, and you took your foot off the gas, thereby decreasing what little distance you had between you. Yeah, that's smart, considering, you know, he doesn't have your stopping power. If you had just passed him, then you were...

Sort of, but not necessarily. Watts divided by Volts equals Amps. A 400 Watt inverter is 33.3 amps. Most cigarette lighter adapters are 10 amps so you're looking at a 120 Watt inverter max (Amps times Volts equals Watts). Some of the 12-volt power taps that look the same as a cigarette...

Surge Wattage is rarely more than double the steady draw. Exceptions being a refrigerator, air conditioner, sump pump and a few other things. A 350 Watt rice cooker will surge at most 700 Watts (probably more like 450-500, tho). A 400 Watt inverter should handle an 800 Watt surge. Most inverters...

I would think "don't drink and do drugs" would be one of the messages conveyed.

And you used those publicized facts to refute his assertion, and then proceeded to beat him about the head and shoulders with it, in a personal attack not because of what he said, but because he said it. Ad hominem is most often used (on the Internet, at least), to mean the shortened version of...

Huh? What? You lost me. Quoting me from where?

Learning more about this guy now. Sounds kind of familiar somehow. :D

The Dayton Air Show is one of the best.

That's very true, to ignore it would be irresponsible, as to ignore it and let it stand would be to tacitly perpetuate the incorrect conclusion. So IT, not HIM, is what should be addressed. Context matters. Not only the context of The Soapbox, but in the context of the story. Since the story...

Yeah, it's like getting excited because your team is in first place in the MLB standings after the first week of a 162-game season.

"Good song, catchy lyrics. It's a got a beat and you can dance to it. I give it an 89, Dίck." ¹ Spec-5 radio operator, mop slosher, steering wheel holder... you give him far too much credit. :D All the bold, underline at italics notwithstanding, while really kewl and all, is not really...

Amy Winehouse, Curt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones (Rolling Stones), Alan Wilson (Canned Heat), Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and "met the devil at the Crossroads" Robert Johnson, among several others, all dead at 27. Like the rest of them, Any was an amazing talent, as unique and...

I wasn't even aware that Layout was, in fact, in a position of responsibility in terms of national security. I thought he drove a TVAL truck for FECC. No, there's not, but it's not a wild and wacky and wholly unreasonable speculative assumption that a civilian-targeted terror attack, especially...
