We used to say what separated man from the animals was man used tools. Now that we've noticed a number of animals using tools, perhaps the difference is that man misupoor house. Once autopilot matures (robotaxis, etc.) I predict lawyers will go after deep pockets like a big dog even if auto is...

Do the airlines use grid navigation instead of lat long in the very high latitudes, or has that gone the way of the buffalo?

That is the correct part number for the NV4500. Ignore the expiration date and use it. It looks like 9/10/05 was the manufacture date. Expiring after 4 years in the bottle is ridiculous. I changed my 97 Chevy 2500 HD at about 5 years and 50k miles with the GM equivalent. Eighteen years and...

At the start of my annual meeting with my Fidelity account rep I remind him that of the four bodies found in Lake Mead after the waters receded, three of them were annuity salesmen. I tell him I didn't know the fourth individual. So far, he hasn't tried to sell me an annuity.

I can't comment on Texas, but in most similar gun friendly states it is a misconception that your guns need to be registered. They sure don't in Nevada. I crack up when I see so many TV shows written by writers from Cali or New York talk about a firearm in Nevada or a similar state being...

I went through USAF navigator training in '74, before GPS was operational. Techniques taught included dead reckoning (knowing where you are, applying your heading, airspeed, winds aloft and time to know where you should be), observing ground references, radar navigation, celestial (sun or stars...

Approximately 20 years ago USAA threw a tantrum and decided to not renew polices in Florida due to some (then) new state rules. They would allow one policy per member in the state only. I had 4 rental units in a duplex (units A and B) and two small houses (units C and D) on one lot that were...

I have a 31 acre property in Eldorado County (the county involved in this case). I can build exactly one house on this property. I have a very knowledgeable associate tell me that it would be a fools errand to try and subdivide to get the County to allow one home every 5 acres like all the...

And the ridiculous spending after, but that's not the spin they are putting on it.

But don't you know, Government spending has no effect on inflation. It's all the greedy profiteering landlords/farmers/corporations, etc. No effect at all. Nothing to see here. Am I going to have to report you to the thought police, I mean the FBI?

Texas? How do they get past the language barrier?

I am really glad you posted this. I have some history with the Colt Detective Special, which which the new (2017 on) Cobra sounds to be a stainless steel copy. Not sure about an alloy framed revolver, but I'm a big fan of the steel framed version. After a lot of trial and error, I settled on a...

I had a managed account employ this strategy for the stocks they picked. The problem was the market was rising so fast after a while they abandoned selling covered calls. I only used them for a couple of years. I decided I could do better with ETFs and carefully selected stocks and mutual...

Or purely fabricated out of whole cloth, only to be retracted in a couple of months just like all the other job reports over the last few years.
