    Why do people strongly opine about topics they know nothing about?

    The simple answer? We are human. This all started about the time we started crawling into caves and becoming human. Caveman A observed something. Caveman A is now the head of the Cave. Caveman B hates Caveman A. Caveman B starts telling the women that A is a moron and that he, B, is more...

    Galaxies Underestimated

    So we lose a lot in the quibble of semantics. Maybe not semantics, per se, with the proper definition of semantics, but what we are doing in this thread is attempting to quantify the unquantifiable. There's a lot of "now now, this is what we say and what we 'know' and what we 'think' " If the...

    Crude oil supply to resume soon?

    So- it looks like the taps have been opened up again. Yes, it'll take a bit of time for the flow to "return to normal" but it looks like a little patience and avoiding panicking is back on board.

    Manufactures Response to States Gasoline Power Equipment Bans

    Praise God. I have a neighbor who is nicknamed Gandalf (he's more like Radagast - but nobody knows who the heck Radagast is) who fires up his everloving weedeater about twice a week. AT THE CRACK OF DAWN one of these days I'm going to sneak in and program a garage door opener to open...

    Teslas are becoming the new Camrys.

    I live in the Charlotte NC metro area and man the number of Tesla's on the roads here is crazy high. Like fleas on a squirrel. I would prefer a used Prius in a couple of years, but a used M3 might tempt me as I can supercharge anywhere I'd drive the electric vehicle. Those are also...

    Why do hotels put comforters/duvets on beds... year around?

    My routine is a bit different. I keep a can of Lysol in my vehicle specifically for hotel room stays. * open door * start laying down the Lysol. On the floor, on the door, on the bed on the furniture in the bathroom on the light switches I mean I wet it down. Yes, on the pillows and under...

    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    can get Lariat F150 for ~60k can get nice XLT for 50,000 I got a 4WD XLT Ranger for 38,000 6 months ago. The only things running 80k (in Fordland) are Raptors (more than 80k) or maybe a Limited. The 80k is overstated by about 20k - we all exaggerate a little but anyone claiming a typical...

    Gas vs pellet grill in a very windy area

    If you get a pellet - make sure you get one with a decent PID. And auto-refire. If it does go out it will start back up. It'll spike the heck out of your temps, but, it's better than tossing a hundred bucks worth of meat on and it going out an hour later while you are sleeping. ask me how I...

    Hit a truck tire on the highway. Got real lucky!

    pffft When I moved to SC I was coming up I77 towards Charlotte. '93 Cavalier stick shift, probably doing 80. Early 80's Cutlass in front of me, the rear bumper fell off. Didn't even knock the NASCAvalier out of alignment.
