    My Hot Sauce Order Arrived Today

    Back in the late 80s, early 90s, Marie hired a company to do marketing and distribution here in the States. Long story very short, they stole Melinda's name from Marie Sharp. Marie was not well-represented nor experienced in shyster US business practices ... <sigh> That said, she's still...

    Found a Tesla Supercharger under construction at a Burger King

    You seem surprised by this. I know six Tesla owners and every one of them visits places like BK, Taco Bell, McD's, and the like. Generally, they use the drive-thru, but so do most people (from my observations and what little I've read). BTW, TSLA is the stock symbol, which I'm sure you know. I...

    Any tips for preventing being scamed on a forum?

    The item wasn't listed on the forum. The OP asked if anyone had the needed part for sale. I was looking for an accessory, so I approached an online forum asking if anyone had that accessory. BITOG has a For Sale / Want To Buy section on the forum. I bought a used computer from a forum member...

    What are you eating right now?

    No Pic ... just imagine a glass milk bottle filled with freshly made apple juice. Three types of apples + a thick slice of lemon whirred around in the Vitamix and strained to allow for a good amount of fiber. It'll be a nice little midnight snack tonight.

    Coffee - Your Current Brew

    My monthly subscription arrived today. I rarely know what I'm going to get. Today it's Mount Elgon Uganda Organic. This batch is from a smallholder lot, so there's not much of it around. It has notes of honey and melon and offers a lingering cocoa finish.

    High Performance Lubricants PCMO Series

    I'd like some clarification on this, or at least some opinions. Let's say that the manual / manufacturer recommends a certain viscosity, 0W-20 seems common enough, and a 10,000 mile/1 year change interval is recommended. Are you suggesting that using a heavier viscosity oil with a manufacturer...

    Regulus Missle Mail

    You've heard of Air Mail, but have you heard of Missile Mail? Do any of you remember this? On June 8, 1959, the US Navy fired a Regulus I missile from the USS Barbero (SSG-317) and directed it to land at the Naval Auxiliary Air Station at Mayport, Florida, near Jacksonville. While the sub was...

    Cellphone Towers/Transmitters

    I've been invited to go out on a fishing boat and I've had some bad experiences on the water. In addition, I'm not very comfortable in and on the water, although I do like the experience of being on various types of boats. Now that I have a cellphone, and know its capabilities, my comfort...

    Cellphone Towers/Transmitters

    Thanks for all the information. You've shown once again why BITOG is often a better option than Google to ask a question. More info than I'd have thought to ask about. (y)(y)

    Cellphone Towers/Transmitters

    Thanks! Here's a hypothetical: Transmitter is atop a 3-4 story building very close to the waters edge, no obstructions as there's only an open ocean to contend with, and the phone, a good quality Android or iPhone, is on a boat. At what approximate distance could one get a good signal? Would...

    Assuming no obstructions, what is the range of a cellphone transmitter? Are there different designs that transmit different distances?
