    End of the World has come and gone for Asia

    Another Question for JD Clark

    When I read what he posted, I interpreted "At the time, our "in house" vans where [sic] getting $1.35+," to mean in the past tense of at the time when the business model for the independent office was conceived. Because, you know, that's what he said. Although I do understand the potential...

    These Are OUR Leaders of Tomorrow..

    I wasn't talking about an individual, I was talking about society and the culture at large. Of course there is. One blatant example of that on the small scale would be mob mentality. Another one on the large scale would be the election of Obama. Like it or not, YOU elected Obama as president...

    Don't forget these are our children, we raised them. They are our responsibility. If we don't like what they are doing, we have only ourselves to blame.

    Inverter wire and breakers?

    Alrighty, I have no problem running 4AWG. But where would I start looking for a 175 amp fuse, either class T or regular? I would like to do this out on the road, during down time. Marine (boat) supply stores may have them. Near where I live at Kentucky Lake, none of the boat stores had them in...

    Muslim in chief wants to eviscerate Israel

    No, not at all. All mods have authority in all forums, but mods have certain additional authority, duties, responsibilities and accountability in the forums in which they are officially assigned to moderate. One, it was a joke. Two, I have mod status in the Soapbox, and all the other forums. So...

    Inverter wire and breakers?

    It happened right at the dock at the marina. This guy was working below where the batteries were, and he said he moved a cabinet which cut into the battery cable insulation, causing the short. Said he heard and saw the fuse pop right away, and then in very short order saw and smelled smoke...

    Muslim in chief wants to eviscerate Israel

    Ironic, indeed. It was almost as if you knew about it before I did, or it's as if you gave someone the idea. That's just how ironic the timing of your comment was. Pure coincidence, I assure you. You're quite wrong about that one. The only "Come to Jesus" meeting I've ever attended where I was...

    Inverter wire and breakers?

    Absolutely. A DC rated circuit breaker is designed internally to interrupt an arc by pulling the contacts apart like a relay (and in some cases by additionally physically blocking the arc), much the same as a blown fuse creates a physical separation that prevents the current from continuing on...

    You do know the difference between a club and a class, right? I took a debate class, too, several of them, but was never in a debate club.

    Inverter wire and breakers?

    8 AWG wire is really too small for 1500 Watts at 3 feet. Whoever put the 80 amp fuse in is an idiot. You fuse for the wire, not the load, and an 80 amp fuse would be for 10 AWG cable. Shocking. No, the crappy rubbery fuse holder had nothing to do with it. It was the melting wiring that did it...

    Princess Beatrice wedding hat auction bids pass $29,500

    Well, at the considerable risk of sounding a little gay, Cher's headdress was designed by Bob Mackie. That was back when Cher had that whole Cleopatra thing going on. I went to the Royal Wedding and all I got was this toilet seat on my head! OMG. What was I thinking...

    Actually, I'm my opinion, no. If people debate the issues and not the person, it shouldn't matter. ;) I will sometimes (often, even) take a position in a debate that varies greatly from my own, for the specific purpose of learning other points of view. If you can't understand someone else's...

    Princess Beatrice wedding hat auction bids pass $29,500

    Yeah, it is. But then again, Princess Beatrice's hat also looks like a toilet seat with a bow ribbon tied around it. So there's that. It may be the kewlest way ever to publicly call a member of the royal family a ****head and get away with it. :D

    Well, after once again immersing myself into the mind numbing land of DOT World recently, when I read those highlighted parts what I see from the first one (Spamming) I would be hard pressed to classify the post as nonsensical, as it made sense to me, and because of that the rest of it falls...
