    Who would have thought...

    One problem with having satellite TV in the van is that you get to see this stuff as it happens. Like, for example, I got to see and hear the context in which Rep. Hastings was speaking, not to mention the rest of his sentence that was cut off in that video. Taking a sound bite and then...

    "Feed a Man a Fish..." Realized

    Yeah, that's kind of the point of my posting this. :) Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to use the Internet and he won't bother you for weeks.

    Is it time to call a spade a spade?

    Mine really isn't meant to be a personal attack on you, either, tho it certainly looks that way, I admit. It's an attack on attitudes more than anything. Not too long ago I had a post deleted by an administrator solely because he personally felt it was offensive. Never mind the fact that being...

    "Feed a Man a Fish..." Realized

    "Give a man a fish, and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." For decades the cry from the United Nations and others has been to throw free food and other aid at countless countries. When the problem in those and other countries only worsened, the cry was to...

    Is it time to call a spade a spade?

    And I find your attitude offensive, especially coming from a Moderator who has supposedly read and comprehended the Code of Conduct. As part of the Code of Conduct, "You understand that by using the forum, you may be exposed to content that is offensive or objectionable." And nowhere in the...

    The Headline Typo We've All Been Waiting For

    Yes, you did. It was an accurate depiction of what is described in the Telegraph.uk headline containing the typo. Since you're an adult and not likely to be offended by purely tasteless smutly scientific humor, you are allowed to click here (adults only), and then scroll down. It's the brightly...

    For the floor, Minwax Polycrylic works wonders. About 3 coats. It's sticky enough (poly) to keep things where you place them, and hard enough (acrylic) to keep the wood protected and in good shape. Water proof, and oil proof, which you will appreciate when you haul a greasy engine dripping oil...

    The Headline Typo We've All Been Waiting For

    No, I won't be ashamed to speak my mind. If others don't agree with it, that's fine, but I won't be ashamed just because you or anyone else tells me to. That is my right, that is what I believe, that is how I was raised.

    Two peacoсks walk into a bar... If Mr. Smith's peaсock lays an egg in Mr. Jone's back yard, who is the rightful owner of the egg?

    Two Annoying news stories

    There's a line in the movie about the Irish, where the Mayor, Olson Johnson says: "All right... we'll give some land to the ni**ers and the chinks. But we don't want the Irish!" [everyone complains] "Aw, prairie [sheet]... Everybody!"

    Depends on how you ask. If you want 300 miles a day, every day, then yeah, that's too much to ask. 300 miles a day for an average over the course of the week, no, that's not too much. Then again, expecting, for sure, to get any given mile figure is really expecting too much. There will be...

    Truck Generator of the future!

    And to think, I kept it brief. :D If adding additional batteries to the ones you've already installed, don't pass Go, don't collect $200, do it now, sooner the better. Adding newer batteries to old batteries is the surest way to kill the new batteries. Much better to add them all in one whack...

    The Headline Typo We've All Been Waiting For

    Our universe is nothing more than a computer program running on a desktop in someone's office. At the end of the day they'll turn the computer off and go home.

    Two Annoying news stories

    An update to the Walmart story. The police arrested a 16-year old boy, and charged him with harassment, and bias intimidation. IMNSHO, they should have just charged him with exercising his free speech and be done with it, since he was in no position to harass anyone with a statement that made...

    Progressivism is a cancer

    Stewart's performance was Emmy worthy, actually. If you talent is lampooning people, then when you start lampooning people it's hard to figure that as being out of talent. The Daily Show has been lampooning politics and the people within politics since the day they went on the air. It's called...

    The Headline Typo We've All Been Waiting For

    Just a few seconds before our universe was created, is when those guys turned on their hadron collider, implicating that our universe was created in the particle collision that took place in their hadron collider. In effect, the Big Bang occurred a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, in...

    Truck Generator of the future!

    First, let me apologize to all. I think the Arctic Breeze 8-10 hours of running time is for a 50% DoD. If you're doubling that, then your battery bank is twice the amp hours of the base system, or you're running the batteries down too low. In any event... Yes. Doubling the amp hours will...

    This'll probably get me in trouble, but I don't care. Funny is funny. :D This one's pretty funny, too.
