    Re: Sprinter Fuel Injectors

    Notice the usage, though - "In contexts such as re your letter, your remarks have been noted or he spoke to me re your complaint..." These are all in reply or in response to something past tense, and not used to initiate new subjects. The etymology of the usage indicates that this has been is...

    Where does Aquaman poop? Do they have toilets in Atlantis? And if they do, what happens when they flush?

    Gastric Bypass a possible cure for diabetes?

    The Atkins Diet is about eating healthy, natural foods. Basically, eat caveman food, not invented foods. Stay away from stuff in cellophane packaging and steer more towards God's packaging. My problem is that I tend to eat one meal a day, which is the surest road to obesity regardless of...

    Tractor trailer crashes into Amtrak train

    After seeing the headling, I thought the story would show just a plethora of citations for the company. They had to dig deep to find just one OOS violation in the last two years. I'm sure there are plenty of expedite carriers that would be thrilled with just one OOS violation in two years. So...

    Gastric Bypass a possible cure for diabetes?

    All I know is that my stepdad, Type II diabetic with injectable insulin for many years, went on the Atkins Diet and strictly controlled his carb intake. Almost immediately his blood sugar levels stabilized, and within a week he wasn't having to inject himself anymore. Things stayed that way for...

    headset (bluetooth)

    I tried the Jawbone Era, too, after I gave up on the Jawbone II, and it did not work for me. For some people those earpiece headsets just don't work, and I guess I'm one of them. I haven't tried the Bose model, and I'm reluctant to spend that much again on yet another headset that I can't use...

    What is the size of the time critical "road" freight market?

    My only advice would be to not use "San Francisco" and "nuts" in the same sentence.

    I say "please" and you come back with a personal shot? What's wrong with you? If I thought I was more important now, I'd have just deleted your banter-inducing comment, and the banter that it induced, and gone about my business. It's the job of a moderator to keep threads on topic when members...

    Ohio State Police withholding Michigan CDL.

    I'll guarantee you the Qualcomm did not show he was sitting at a red light, or anywhere else for that matter, for three minutes, even if he was in fact, motionless for three minutes.

    Kinda what I was thinking, too. I mean, not sure how an accident like that could stretch an artery like a rubber band, or why (or how) a stent could repair such damage.

    INCOMING! Asteroid to Narrowly Miss Earth on Monday

    Scientists have shown that the moon is moving away at a tiny yet measurable distance from the earth every year. If you do the math, you can calculate that 85 million years ago the moon was orbiting the earth at a distance of about 35 feet. This would explain the death of the dinosaurs. Well...

    Tractor trailer crashes into Amtrak train

    By law, the NTSB always has primacy in investigating every civil aviation accident in the United States, as well as all pipeline and rail accidents that involve a fatality. It's not a case of the current administration micro managing its local authority (where do people come up with this...

    Good work, Paullud. One thing, there are a lot of drivers out here with stents. It's not something that will prevent you from driving.

    black paint

    Common sense should tell you that a dark colored car, especially a black one, will be hotter than a white car. So will direct observation and experiment with a couple of thermometers and two identical black and white cars sitting out in the sun (as the Mythbusters confirmed). The laws of...
