    Virgin Mobile - Broadband

    Yeah, kind of odd is right. But, in their defense (and believe me, they need a lot of it), they used to have a coverage map, and it was the same exact image as the coverage map of T-Mobile. Datajack never admitted they used T-Mobile, but when you consider that T-Mobile and Datajack had the same...

    Virgin Mobile - Broadband

    Datajack has it's share of problems, and they are continuing. The "unlimited usage" that was formerly so loudly and proudly proclaimed on their Web site is now gone, the price has been bumped from $40 to $50 a month, and they have changed providers from T-Mobile to either Sprint or Verizon...

    Is a Toilet too much to ask for?

    I like those vanilla scented Ruffies trash bags. They're what I use in the truck, for both trash and for use with the bucket. Except I don't have the bucket.

    thermo-electric coolers and amps

    Yeah, I know you have a house battery. The caution was more for others who might think that since it draws less than a thermoelectric fridge that they could then just hook it to the starter battery. Most fridges in the home will run about 8 hours of of 24, unless you've got a lot of kids who...

    thermo-electric coolers and amps

    What's a dielectric cooler? :D Igloo, Coleman and other manufacturers of these thermoelectric coolers will all tell you that they recommend 2-3 hours maximum running off a vehicle starter battery with the vehicle not running. Igloo, Coleman, one of them, makes a portable power pack for picnics...

    Man, I can't believe that you guys let a SPAM BOT dredge up a 3 year old thread and jerk your chain.

    Any Independent Van drivers out there ??

    Looks like you picked a bad time to start sniffing Magic Markers again, Dood.

    Bolt driver killed

    Poor spelling I can handle. I really can. If someone chooses type their mind in a manner that shows them in a certain light, so be it. What I can't handle is the fact that there are people in this industry who don't and won't even know their job. They think that just because a vehicle hauls...

    Barbarism of Katyn Forest, 1940

    Aristotle, there are people in Frankfort who think us folks in Western Kaintucky run around without shoes on, wear straw hats, have 2 pair of overalls (one for work and one for Sunday Go-To-Meetin'), and eat possum stew 2 or 3 times a week. Just because it's true doesn't mean they have to...

    Pilot and showers

    Yeah, that happens. But then there are people like me who will favor the Flying J, buy stuff in the convenience store, because they give me free showers, even if I let a lot of them expire and don't used them. I'll buy soft drinks while completely forgetting that I have a free cup coming. As...

    Barbarism of Katyn Forest, 1940

    There are isolated cases of really ugly racism in the South, to be sure, just like there are up north, but most people in the South are quite friendly between races. In the South, racism tends to be right there, out in the open, from both sides. And because it's so out there and in the open...

    I've got a Microfridge, a 3.46 cu ft refrigerator, a 1.38 cu ft frost-free freezer and a 700W microwave combination. It's gnarly, 108 pounds, 57 inches tall, 19 wide, and 23 deep. Keeps food cold, ice cream and other frozen foods rock solid frozen, and holds enough groceries for a week or 10...

    Pilot and showers

    That would be true if they were "shower stops" and no other services were provided. Truck stop showers are a marketing tool amenity that is used to increase sales in the restaurant, convenience store and at the fuel islands. If Pilot, for example, suddenly closed all of its showers permanently...

    Barbarism of Katyn Forest, 1940

    That's because if we focus on what is happening in Africa, schools and others will be force to admit that the US didn't invent the enslavement of blacks, that most slave traders were East African blacks, and that the enslavement of African blacks by other African blacks dwarfs the level of...

    Barbarism of Katyn Forest, 1940

    I'm not sure why, tho. There have been allegations that some of the bodies came from Chinese prisons, but that is yet to be verified. But in any case, the issue for "The Bodies" is not mass murder, it's a consent issue where the bodies of dead people may be involved in the exhibition without...

    thermo-electric coolers and amps

    A cranking battery, as you would have on a cargo van, is designed with porous thin lead plates with lots of surface area that allows for putting out large amounts of amps in one whack to start the engine, and is not designed for the long low amp draws of something like a cooler. When you use a...

    The bodies of the "Human Bodies" exhibit all seem to be Oriental because they are all from China.
