It's not even a stretch. It's an implied falsehood. Reggie Love was hired long before they got the dog, and taking care of the dog is an additional duty for Reggie. What should have been said is, "It must be nice to be able to hire a personal assistant." At least that would have been...

Carriers who limit cargo van drivers in length of haul or time driving do so for two reasons: To limit their liability in case of an accident, and to limit their liability in case of an accident. Personal safety of the driver or anyone else is a secondary concern, and only then if it affects...

In the trucking industry, everybody's Rainman.

No, it was a joke, in that the Sentinel didn't give "The Rest of the Story", mainly because the Sentinel pieces wasn't politically motivated. The news story states quite plainly: "Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the...

But even the Morning Sentinel didn't give the full story. For that I had to consult Paul Harvey.

The FMCSA or the government isn't going to start imposing HoS or mileage limits on light and medium vehicles, unless those vehicles start causing the kinds of accident damage that heavy vehicles cause. The DOT does, actually, have to have a reason for any changes in regulations. They have to...

That was my next question, too. It's not so much a power issue, but a different IO range and memory address is assigned by the OS depending on whether an external hub is powered or not. If it's unpowered, it will often share an IRQ with a USB Host Controller and something not USB-related, like a...

I read a story like this, and my BS Meter immediately begins to loudly buzz and the red light starts flashing. There is no friggin' way the Obama's chartered a small jet solely for their dog, yet that's what this article not only implies, but states outright that the dog had his own plane. And...

What I use is a product from Minwax called Polycrylic. It's a blend of Polyurethane and acrylic. First thing it does is seal the wood so that oil spills won't soak into it. Second thing it does is provide the right combination of hardness and stickiness. Polyurethane alone can be very, very...

Me too

Hey! Leave the children out of this! <giggle> Sorry, man, couldn't resist. :D

"They put a cap on what the USB port will be allowed to draw." Yup, very badly worded, that one was. :D "In testing the USB Power Hubs we are finding they are limiting the mA output below what the TND 700 needs." That one, too. ;) Please, the quotes above are an assumption as to the root...

But no one is suggesting it. The whole "pimping out his daughters" thing was brought up as a joke early in the campaign, and was mentioned throughout the campaign often enough to have become a joke in its own. Well, that's the obvious context if you dismiss the entire "pimping out his daughters"...

Funny story, but if you've ever had horses enclosed in an electric fence, you'd know it's 99.7% fiction. An electric fence, even using an energizer made for a 26 mile fence (or a 100 mile fence, which is the largest that Tractor Supply carries), doesn't supply anywhere near 1.7 gigavolts. One...

My apologies to Mark. That's what I get for not paying better attention to who posted it, rather than to what was posted. There is a problem with the TND 700, of that I know for a fact. But like I said earlier, I'm still inclined to place the blame on this particular problem squarely on...

Not just with CSA, but with a CDL in general. Basically, a CDL gets hit with at least 1.5 times the points of a regular driver's license for each infraction, and it doesn't take very many CDL points to suspend the license. A red light infraction with a regular driver's license is 2 points...

"Not only does it look awesome, but it can do pretty much anything you want as long as you believe in it." Outstanding! :D

I just think it reeks of gross hypocrisy when Scott Brown pimped his daughters during his campaign and joked about them being available during his victory speech, including having them up there on stage with him, and that's all good, because, you know, he was joking about it, but when that no...

Sorry, Xiggi, but in this case that doesn't apply. This is the same Scott Brown who in his victory speech back in January, with his daughters at his side, announced that his daughters were "available". He used them (pimped out) in his campaign and put 'em on display when he won. And that's where...

A one-week all-expense paid vacation to the Sally Struthers Doodette Ranch in beautiful El Chico, California, where he will be whisked away courtesy of UPS Freight to a dusty field where he will enjoy fine dining on $1 a day rice.
