Add to that the requirement of deleting something to get something else that’s 100% unrelated.

So then there’s the question of whether you get more “transportation units” out of battery storage (feed clean power into the grid, use that power to charge batteries, use the batteries to power vehicles) or hydrogen storage (feed clean power into an electrolysis process to split water molecules, store the…

iHeart announced that, with Rush’s wife’s approval (read: Rush didn’t leave me with enough money, and I need more!) they will continue to use guest hosts and recycled Rush clips until they can find a proper replacement.

Regrettably, this article is dead on if you would reasonably assume the F150 customer base contains the same people who believe the lies spewed by Limbaugh, et al on AM talk radio. Even now the Reich Wing professional liars continue to masturbate upon the decaying corpse of Limbaugh on his EIB (the manufactured…

In my area we generally have 87, 89, and 93 octane, though maybe some off-brands max out at 91. On this question I’m going to depart from my usual approach, “I’m a retired engineer and I base my opinions on real world data.” Rather, I’m going with a gut feel and the opinions of others on the Chevy Sonic Owners…

Bouchard told the Star-Tribune he married the girl when she was 15 and he was 19. At the time, they were both living in Florida....“A lot of pressure. Pressure to abort a baby.”

I may have accidentally erased a reply from Dead Elvis, Inc. I don’t remember where I picked up this design, but it was not in the Boy Scouts as I was never a member. Maybe my dad taught me, and he wasn’t a Scout either ;-)

In our first “starter house” there was a built-in-on-a-post gas grill, fed by an underground natural gas line. That spoiled me forever. We’ve been in our Dream Home for 29 years now, and just bought our third high-quality natural gas grill, this one the MHP brand. The better grills have ceramic briquettes or discs so…

Understand that any nice paint finish will be quickly burned off. Best to pick something you’d otherwise recycle. When I was a kid, Hi-C and Hawaiian Punch “fruit flavored drinks” came in tall (32 oz?) metal containers. It’s probably all plastic these days.

Millennia is a word, “Millenia” (as the Mazda was spelled) is not.

Chimneys rock. You can buy one, or if you’re cheap you can make one out of an old steel coffee can or something bigger/taller. Cut out the bottom so it’s a hollow cylinder. Punch with a big nail or drill a couple holes near one end so you can insert two pullers made out of coat hanger wire, maybe 18-24 inches…

we will be doing some long distance trips throughout the year (6 or so hour trips) and need something reliable. Most weekends will be an hour or two drive, to get out of the city and find some nearby hiking.

how many can you & your better half drive at one time?

PART IT OUT! When I was a much younger man (approximately your current age) I drove a succession of rusted out beaters until the most merciful thing was to part out what was still useful for a few dollars here and there, and then send the remaining carcass to the junkyard. I’ve commented here previously that at…

The Great Prevaricator driving a foreign vehicle? Say it ain’t so.

Blood sports prevent us from committing actual massacres.

Humans will never be civilized until the day when no one will pay to watch one person beat the shit out of another person.

How every Trump/Pence sign should be vandalized...

Luxury is in the materials that make up the interior. Sure some fancy features but the core of it is nicer paint, softer leather, less plastic, better carpets...

Eh, I’m not opposed to bumper stickers but I use them sparingly, and only on the rear glass of our DDs so they are easy to remove with no chance of paint damage. I thought Jay Inslee would have been a splendid President so I put up his stickers to help spread his name recognition. After he dropped out, I put up…
