    Avatars and Screen Names

    A sense of humor, irony and sarcasm. I think it's funny that a turtle is an expediter, not to mention one that drives a Sprinter. But like a turtle, I take my home with me wherever I go, am nekkid inside of it, and will peek outside once in a while to see what's going on or to get something to...

    Swine Flu

    "Secretary Janet Napolitano also said border agents have been directed to begin passive surveillance of travelers from affected countries, with instructions to isolate anyone who appears actively ill with suspected influenza." It has a 24-48 hour incubation period. "Health officials said the...

    What has our Goverment

    I seriously doubt that a private company could have put a man on the moon within 10 years, and that's what NASA was born from. And from NASA, entire industries have evolved, and research that was done specifically for NASA has been used for other purposes. Sure, maybe most or all of those...

    Indiana Toll Roads

    Yeah, the sold it to that consortium a couple of years ago. First thing they did was block the crossovers. The police were thrilled. "who accepts it? everywhere BUT kansas, okla and ohio." And Florida and California.

    Team rest

    You're missing the point of the question. It was to find out how others do it, so he could compare how others do it to how he's currently doing it. If he's currently switching out every 4 hours, and he finds that almost everyone else is switching after 8 hours, it might make him rethink how he's...

    What has our Goverment

    Velcro, nor Teflon (another popular one), came out of NASA. They were developed long before NASA was created. But for every Dollar that goes into NASA, about five comes back. I'm not sure what kind of return would be acceptable beyond that. It also depends on what you want out of NASA and how...

    alt. route

    The alternatives are US 20 all the way across, which will take you about a week, or you can go down 219 to the Southern Tier Expressway (I-86) and take that through Elmira, Binghamton and then up I-88 to Albany. That route is about 375 miles and takes 6 or 7 hours. Straight across I-90 is about...

    Is Bankrupt in future for A SC company

    Most of the accusations posted here are just that, accusations. Unless or until fraud is proven, unless or until some action has been adjudicated, it's all just he-said, he-said. And you're advocating that EO pull their ads on hearsay? And yes, the insurance issue and authority revocation is one...

    What has our Goverment

    The question was, what has the government done, at any level, that has benefited the class. I answered it the best I could without going into mind-numbing pedantic details. Yes, there are many areas of the country where fire and medical are volunteer. But there are also many areas of the country...

    What has our Goverment

    Utilities, essential and emergency services like police, fire, medical, roads, minimum wage standards, workplace safety, vehicle safety, food safety, environmental cleanup. There's actually quite a long list of things the government has done at the local, state and federal level over the past 4...

    Where to service sprinter in San Francisco Bay Area

    Here's a nifty little ditty I put together a while back. The only thing I can guarantee is that it is probably not 100% accurate. :) Dodge-Freightliner Sprinter Dealers.pdf

    Is Bankrupt in future for A SC company

    Yeah, and roadwarrior9's very first post ever is in defense of this NC company, completely dispelling anything negative towards the company (and desperately trying to bolster his own credibility to make it believable, trying a little too hard, which makes it unbelievable), and now, immediately...

    Yeah, only a man would go through something like that to ensure his wife would be safe.

    Using the F word... fair warning

    Christianity really has nothing to do with it, unless you start applying it to preferentially alter Natural Selection. Evolution is what it is. The strong survive, the weak perish, and those strong who are left will reproduce strong offspring who share the same traits. If you are more naturally...

    Realdumblicans-I guess I invented it

    Asking Layout to assume the role of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is about like asking the Pope to pretend he's gay. It goes against everything he believes in. That's just wrong. :D A pirate walks into a bar. Bartender notices he has a really large belt buckle shaped like the steering wheel on...

    Using the F word... fair warning

    You're right, none of the current programs are working. But none of the previous programs worked, either, and in every single case, the proposed and implemented remedy was to throw more money at the problem. Comparing social problems with the technical problems of putting men on the moon is a...

    The Other Side Of The Coin

    No path was dictated to me, and you're dead wrong about what I am referring to. Sorry about the typo. It wasn't intentional, I assure you.
