    AGM Batteries

    L16 batteries are serious batteries. They're floor scrubbers, and you can get them in AGM or wet cell configurations. Wet cell and AGM batteries need different voltages to prolerly charge. Unlike wet batteries, where you can charge them with a relative low voltage but just for a longer period of...

    Saddam Hussein - Not Bush Or Cheney - Was Telling The Truth

    It's just a difference in philosophy, I suppose. If someone does something publicly which is worthy of a reprimand, then I see nothing wrong with a public reprimand, for the reasons I've previously stated. I have no idea why the admin team would speak on it publicly, seeing how rule #11 doesn't...

    Saddam Hussein - Not Bush Or Cheney - Was Telling The Truth

    It doesn't deflect the blame to them at all. RLENT was wrong and he knows it, and he accepts full responsibility for his actions. He's certainly not trying to shift blame to someone else for his own actions. He's simply not that sort. I don't know that I'd call it ridiculous to expect them to...

    Saddam Hussein - Not Bush Or Cheney - Was Telling The Truth

    OK, here's what happened... In another thread RLENT attacked another EO member, and did so pretty ruthlessly and unmercifully. At least I thought it was ruthless and unmerciful, anyway, and I personally pointed out to him that he could have attacked the position and the issues at hand without...

    Top Profile Visits

    Names aren't the only things you forget when you get old. Profile visits, pppp post count. Same thing. Both start with p. What was I talking about? Oh, yeah. I forgot. Looks like OVM will catch me before too long, and then I won't be at the top of the steep creep heap, for people to peep...

    I would like to APOLOGIZE to all EO Members

    Yeah, I'm with Greg. It's an open forum. An apology in unnecessary and unneeded. So maybe an apology for the apology is in order. :D To anyone who was deeply offended by Sumo Joe, I just don't know what to tell ya. Sorry.

    Libertarianism

    I agree. The modern conservative movement has been a disaster. The reason there is a vast chasm between Libertarians and conservatives on many social issues and foreign policy is because, at the core of conservatism (much like at the core of liberalism) there is a deep-seated need to tell other...

    Paying cash on Florida toll road causes problems?

    That's because the only people who need an accurate time stamp are truckers who would use it to verify their logs. Most people could care less what day is on there, much less what time. All that matters to most is the dollar amount, and if near the end of the year, the correct year.

    Saddam Hussein - Not Bush Or Cheney - Was Telling The Truth

    He was lynched after admitting and later being found guilty of the murder of 148 Iraqi Shi'ite Muslims in the town of Dulail in 1982, in retaliation for an assassination attempt against him. The above story, while a mostly accurate opinion piece, is still a little skewed, especially with...

    Beauty of Math

    No, but when it's there I have no problem pointing it out. Just because someone claims something is Godly or divine doesn't make it so, and this especially applies to selective, simplistic coincidence. My comments were solely in response to Juju's comments, and I didn't even say that she was...

    Whatever you do, don't look down!

    My favorite is the one with the big chunk of sidewalk sitting off to the side. A close second is Batman and Robin. :D

    Heading out into the unknown.....

    More batteries always work better. Whatever load you put on the batteries will be spread out amongst all of the batteries, lessening the strain on each individually, and increasing the total available amps from the bank as a whole. More being better has a practical limit, of course, since 3000...

    Tyson Foods cancels Labor Day adds Muslim holiday

    I like it when people start threads like this, and then you never hear from them again in the thread, unless it's after a post like this one. :D

    That one's amazing. Here are some others.

    How big of an inverter for a CV?

    How big of an inverter you need depends solely on the amp requirements of the things you plug into it. Once you know the maximum current draw you'll ever use, you can then determine what size inverter you need. Once you know the current draw, and the total number of amps you'll draw between...

    Unions aren't to blame for Wisconsin's budget

    All true. But of course there are exceptions to every rule. The exception usually sets in after a period of time when familiarity sets in, especially when someone becomes familiar because they tend to be a one-trick pony and post the same things over and over again, have a closed mind and refuse...

    Mother's fury at school sending boy, six, to psychiatric ward after he drew video-gam

    Re: Mother's fury at school sending boy, six, to psychiatric ward after he drew video Oh, that's just the normal everyday overreacting to stuff. Kid hints that he wants to kill himself, and if the school didn't do anything about it and he actually did kill himself, the school would be sued for...

    Heading out into the unknown.....

    Light on the information is putting it mildly. If you've read all that, then your post here becomes a redundant post, especially since you know you and your van far better than we do, because you already have all the answers we have. Hey, you get what you pay for around here. Actually, true life...
