During the Beijing Olympics the government officially removed all dog from the menus of "official" Olympic designated restaurants. Beijing Tourism officials (a.k.a., the Chinese Government) also notified non-designated restaurants and all restaurants in the surrounding areas to discourage...

Yeah, indirectly. That's also the feminization of the male. There have been exceptions to be sure, but for the most part, historically women have adorned their bodies, men have not. Over the last 50 years or so (since the advent of The Pill) the traditional roles are often reversed, or at...

All-states doesn't matter. The only one that matters is the one your vehicle is registered in. If it's legal in that state, it's legal everywhere.

Ironic in that the above paragraph is the absolute epitome of what I mean, as it addresses directly the feminization of males, indoctrinated socialism, and why our schools are failing to prepare our youth for life, and it illustrates why and how it's happening. Excellent post! :D No fault of...

It used to be that, at least from the steering wheel down, you had a modicum of an expectation of privacy. Not any more, not with cameras looking down into your cab. I won't elaborate any further except to say that while the camera system is supposed to be for seatbelt violations, it's just a...

I you feel so inclined, I'd love to get an updated perspective on those walls that the enlightened Californians are tearing down with Proposition 8.

There's also "nym" which is pseudonym, and is what nicknames were called for many years on the Internet until the ominous and devastating Eternal September happened and AOLer's brought their nicknames with them onto Usenet and then into the newly invented World Wide Web. To me a nic is still a...

ABC, NBC, CBS, and two of those were snowy.

Yeah, and it's being taught at an early age in schools. A third grader kisses a girl on the cheek and gets suspended for sexual harassment. Conflicts on the playground are not allowed to be played out and resolved by the kids themselves. Boys aren't allowed to be boys anymore. They no longer...

It's what I live for. :D

Sorry, no. No thanks. I can't imagine that further discussions would be entertaining, enlightening, or productive. Kewl, another thinly veiled threat. Whatcha gonna do, beat me up 'cause you can't hack it intellectually? Honor, Courage, Committment. Those things actually mean something to...

Germany, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Austria have put $2.3 Trillion on the line to guarantee that the top central banks to provide unlimited short term dollar credits. Not all of that money will be spent, of course, but a lot of it will. A lot of it goes to buy bank...

With the PARS, ViaSafe and Pro cover sheet, I do. Except that I've got saved copies that have my personal info in them, the stuff that never changes, like my truck number on the Pro paperwork coversheet. Glad someone else finds hem useful. Depends. Like, on the Pro paperwork cover sheet, yea...

Don't thank me so fast. I screwed up. Just a little. I have the full version of Acrobat, and anyone with the full version can do whatever they want to with these. But, those with only the Acrobat Reader cannot save a completed form. I have to save these in a certain way (to "publish" them with...

It would easily be enough to drain a cranking battery overnight, especially a conventional electric blanket for the home. They have electric blankets at truck stops that use less electricity, but of course they take a lot longer to warm up. But, when they get warm, they're warm. Anything that...

That's your personal opinion. And considering the fact that we have free speech in this country, it's a way wrong opinion. Well, no, it's not a lie. I know that because I'm the one that said it and I'm the one that could care less about Israel. If you choose to not believe it, that's your...

I have 9 feet for cargo, mainly 8 for cargo and the extra foot to secure it or get in front of it when necessary. I looked into it pretty thoroughly, and like Charles said, for the average leased operator it's not that much of an issue. Those with the space keep pointing out all the 3-skid loads...

Yeah, I've edited (or created from scratch) the PDF files with Adobe Acrobat and Designer so you can fill out the various fields on the computer, then print it out. I have one for the PARS cover sheet, Pro paperwork (transflo), ViaSafe, as well as the Quarterly Maintenance Report. You can fill...

You do know that natural gas is about 87% methane, right? When burned (in the presence of oxygen) it produces a little water and a lot of carbon dioxide. To the "human-induced global warming, ooops it's not warming anymore so let's call it climate change" crowd, methane is pure evil.
