    Yeah, I know. :D Exhaust pipe thermoelectric generation has a long way to go. Remember as a kid when you had that headlight on your bike with the switch that flipped down a wheel that rubbed against your tires? As long as you were moving, you had a glowing headlight. They should be able to do...

    Thanks. I'm not sure how the post you quoted has anything to do with compassion, though, since compassion was neither shown nor needed, but thanks anyway.

    Feedback: LDB's Experimental thread

    Well, I certainly didn't call it yours, but you sure took on the responsibility of heavy-handed control as if it were. Plus, is it the "members at large" who want this? What are the percentages? "Members at large" implies an overwhelming majority rather than a nifty idea by a few people whom you...

    That's surely something that was to be expected, though. I certainly did. But I also expected, and still do, that just as with any troll, once the novelty of disruption wore off and they see they don't get a rise out of people over it, they will quietly leave or begin posting in a manner that...

    18 Signs That America Is Rotting Right In Front Of Our Eyes

    Well, why not Pravda is that it's a publication that goes out of their way to find, and exaggerate, the bad things about America, then puts a negative slant on that. As to the point where Obama said he was going to fix it all, well, no he didn't, but even if he did there's no way it's going to...

    No, I don't think you're wrong at all. Every time this guy posts something, something else doesn't add up. Website says it's "The largest online DH Exhaust Aftermarket Company", yet I dunno. Domain Name: TRUCKPIPESTORE.COM Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC. Name Server: DNS1.GTA-TECH.COM...

    18 Signs That America Is Rotting Right In Front Of Our Eyes

    Pravda? Really? Most of these budgets cuts are necessary because the states have been spending too much money, a lot of it wasted. Now they have to learn how to live within their means, same as the rest of us.

    Well, no, I'm not being fair. But we have at least a few moderators here with a history of deleting posts, even entire threads, because they personally don't agree with what is being posted. That's not very fair, either, but that's exactly what's happening over there. But fair has got nothing...

    I Am Shocked...

    Dispatchers will find the information, topics and discussions of EO very boring very quickly. Imagine www.expeditedispatchersonline.com where they talked about different phone and computing techniques, tips and tricks, and various banal droning of their daily work life. Not many expedite drivers...

    An experiment is just that, an experiment to see what the results are. But you can't alter the conditions of the experiment, in the middle of conducting the experiment, just because you don't like the results you are getting. It's a good idea for a locations-only thread. Whether or not it...

    A forum in your mind? Are you hearing those voices again? Don't listen to them, man, I'm tellin' ya. You remember what happened time. Be afraid, be very afraid.

    Winter winds

    It's a lot cooler in Houston now than it was 2 days ago. It might get up to 87° today. Right now at noon it's 81°. This past Monday the Farmer's Almanac released its ling-term Winter Forecast for 2010-2011. It calls for an overall kinder, gentler winter than last year. Full story here: Farmers'...

    I'm parked at a PilotFlyingJ in the greater Houston metropolitan area, using their parking lot and restroom facilities, and buying my snacks and drinks over at the TA across the street. :D

    Fox News is either Evil or Stupid.....

    I actually put forth a sincere overt gesture to Aristotle in a PM, one that included an apology to him for anything I may have said or done that would cause him to take such a radical departure from his normal lucid, intelligent and engaging comments, to that of a series of unwarranted and...

    I don't recall ever saying that you were angry or frustrated. But it's nice to know that you're not, I guess. <shrug>

    Fox News is either Evil or Stupid.....

    Excellent example. Outstanding! Many people read something, cannot understand or comprehend it, and simply label it as gibberish. Again, another fine example of where a lack of knowledge, a diminished capacity of the mind to perceive and understand some issues, or lack of intelligence...

    Fox News is either Evil or Stupid.....

    Many times there are folks who are more concerned with who posted something, rather than what was posted. Oftentimes this is the result of not being familiar with the substance of the post, not being able to understand it, or not being able to intelligently discuss it. This lack of...
