    ED drugs and tinnitus - HORRIBLE experience!

    Thanks for your post. I have had tinnitus since 1970. During this past year, I have been fasting for other reasons and noticed a reduction in the volume and frequency shifts of the ear noise. Dr Jason Fung has written a book about fasting which I found very good. My regimen is one 48 hour fast...

    A murder/suicide to be avoided?

    I am healthy and fit. I am innately aware of my surroundings and alert by nature. I project confidence and, am sure, rate low on the 'target' algorithm in most criminal minds. However, I am 68 years old and no match for young thugs or groups of thugs. So I am proficient with weapons and licensed...

    Fossil Fuels to the rescue...

    The Bay of Fundy is one of the few locations where tidal generation may be effective. It has been considered or in use there for many decades. Is it proving cost effective, or do they restrict that information? Besides the occasional trapped whale and erosion, have other problems surfaced.

    Last survivor of USS Oklahoma dies at 96

    Fair winds and following seas mate. Hand salute. Ready two. I was blessed with four years at Pearl. We lived on the middle loch and I was able to commute on the water front bike path to Makalapa or the shipyard. I went in before dawn and had eight to nine miles of solace on the trip including...

    if you could live as long as you want

    My family members that lived into their 90s all said, "the worst thing is all your friends die". Not to mention the spouse. Die in 1000 years or today, mox nix. We all have to make the most of this day, this morning, this hour, this minute. Do that and have no regrets.

    Waterproofing basment walls

    If, at the end of the dry season you have a gap between the soil and the exterior wall, consider filling with sodium bentonite. In these parts it is used to seal leaking ponds. In oil country, it may be used as a constituent of drilling mud. I used it with success on my leaking basement wall...

    neighbor vandalized my floodlight, my options?

    There are professionals that design security lighting. I was hoping a pro would comment. My last installation was ~42 years ago. So I am not current. That said, "The Prudent Man Rules" probably have not changed: 1. Ground based threats need low level illumination directed at the lowest...

    National Greed. Criminal Organization.

    Time to invest in a Kill-a-Watt meter. I found all kinds of loads in my house that were unneeded. From your post, I estimate you used ~800 kWh. You only need to cut ~150kWh to pay for the meter. After that, it is all gravy. Don't get screwed, get ahead

    You thought burning people alive was bad?

    The subtle language of violence. Horrifying. But it is what happens when you topple brutal dictators(Iraq) or cripple their power(Syria). Will we ever regain control of the military-industrial complex and refrain from these foreign boondoggles. The people in the region have not come to grips...

    dumb vaccination question

    It is a wonderful question. I know nothing professionally about the topic. However, as a kid I remember those two or three in my little town with leg braces from polio. How my parents were so happy to have polio vaccine for us. In the early seventies I helped the corpsman with Medcap visits...

    Things I learned from shoveling today

    Prepared? How do you prepare for gridlock on the freeways when the pavement gets damp? When I lived there I commuted 20 miles on the coast highway. After a year or so it rained(misted) one morning. I didn't have any commute problems, but my staff was half strength. Some were two hours late...

    All tinned radiator tubes, shop credibility...and?

    Seems to me you may have corrosion that manifests itself as vibration cracks. See if you can find a radiator cap with a sacrificial anode rather than tinning the inside of the copper tubes. WRT your second question - Tin is more noble than copper, so it might increase the rate of sacrifice of...
