David can speak to this much more better than me can (sometimes I crack myself up), and I do not presume to speak for him at all, but I couldn't let this one go by. "Thou shalt not kill" is the King James translation of the original Commandment, used largely by the Catholic church. The...

NIGHTLINE with Ted Koppel

Ark nailed it, as most bills have all kinds of bizarre things tacked on to them, either to sneak them into law, or put in there specifically to prevent the bill from passing. The Rest Period between deployments in particular was a silly bill. It was a backdoor method of drawing down the troops...

ROI is the Return On Ideas, or, your Return On Insanity. In the case of many a fleet owner, it's simply the Reign of Ignorance.

Mainly, because I'm too lazy to take it off. :) Actually, it's two reasons. One, there's the remote outside chance that it will deflect a rock (it's deflected at least two that I know of that left divots, but missed the windshield), and I don't want to risk stripping the screw holes taking it...

Glade Air Freshener contains butane and propane propellants. And we have someone spraying that around a lit cigarette. On purpose. Wow.

All you're gonna need is a No-Ground Plane antenna kit (Firestick makes good ones, as does Wilson). Motorhomes, boats, most 18-wheelers, they don't have metal bodies anymore, and No-Ground Plane antennas work well. You can mount it on the mirror, the bumper (tho the entire van seems like an...

I have Michelins. You can run whatever tire pressure it says on the side of the tire. For the Sprinter Mercedes recommends 55 in the front and 80 in the rear. The 80 in the rear is the important one, because at anything less than 80 and the "E" load rating is reduced. They recommend 55 on the...

Mount St Helens put more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere in one day than man has, ever. Other eruptions have made St Helens look like a hiccup. I do find it interesting that, at the urging of the UN, the Climate Change scientific community no longer uses water vapor as a factor in Climate...

Of course, the Koni's are adjustable, so you can have if soft or firm. Mine are set at 90%m I think, pretty firm, but steady. When I replaced the tires a few months ago I moved from 55 psi front and 80 rear, to 80 all around.

The forests are being cleared in Central America, South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and other parts of the world. It has been found that up to nine times as much carbon dioxide will be emitted by biofuels compared to conventional gasoline and diesel because biofuel crops are typically...

OVM, at 290k I can guarantee you they aren't in good shape. The stock Sprinter shocks are designed for 50,000 mile lifetime. They haven't failed utterly (as in collapsed), but if you (when you) replace those shocks, your butt won't believe it's the same vehicle. Because of all the highway...

Just read a little while ago that in California, New York and in parts of New England that they have food rationing going on. Mostly rice and flour, where people are limited to a single 20 pound bag. It's mostly the larger stores, like Costco, than the smaller stores. Part of that is bakeries...

This stuff isn't new. It's not a matter of not being able to tax water, it's a matter of how much energy you have to put into the water to get the hydrogen energy out. Hydrogen Technologies (dood in the video) are the first ones to truly make a breakthrough in energy efficient electrolysis. They...

It's called a hydrogen fuel cell. Any ionic compound works, such as salt (calcium chloride), or baking soda (calcium carbonate), or lye (sodium hydroxide). When salt is used, hydrogen gas is released at the cathode (positive terminal) and chlorine gas and oxygen is released at the anode...

Somebody has to. Then express yourself in a way that leaves them not open to improper interpretation. Try and get this. Rights are inalienable, they are not given by law. Laws either spell out those rights so that those who cannot understand their inalienable rights can comprehend them, or the...

Just to add what RLENT so eloquently wrote... Actually, Dave, that's the problem, it's not dead center on everybody's radar screen, because it either doesn't affect them immediately and directly, or they only see it from one singular, self-serving perspective. This is just one more step down...

Wow. Ignorance really is bliss. You're confusing a Democratic government with a democracy. We, here in the United States, live under a democratically elected representative republic form of government, not a democracy. There's a huge difference, and I strongly suggest you learn the difference...

Absolutely :)
