Careful. Using screwdrivers like these that were unaltered, I've managed to torque them hard enough to twist and bend the heads.

I suspect that "not running away like a panicking child" is drilled into these guys from day one. The only thing worse than standing in the middle of an oil fire is falling down into an oil fire.

Interesting. I saw a couple of articles that said the rifle was found in a nearby car.

Perhaps this could work if the WiFi signal were boosted up to higher power and into the 900 and 1800 MHz ranges, and if the WiFi were broadcast from towers located strategically throughout a city or region, maybe in some kind of arrangement that would form slightly overlapping pockets of coverage...

Ballistic information suggests this guy didn't have much of a chance of hitting anything. If the shooter was near the Washington monument, about 800-900 yards away, and if he were using the AK-47 reported to be found in the car, then he would have almost no reasonable expectation of hitting the broad side of a barn…

Obesity is, in the vast plurality of cases, voluntary.

Don't forget: all the free Tang you can drink!

A thousand hours in a tactical jet will take a military pilot between four and six years of operational flying. That would mean that an applicant would have completed college, flight school, a sea tour of three years, and a shore tour of two years (likely Test Pilot School, during which time he would almost certainly…

"Text messages are ruining this country. Look at the spelling and grammer it is causing."

Also, the noun "text messages" in your first sentence does not match the pronoun "it" in your second sentence.

This was a great story by CBS Sunday Morning News about a professional photographer that takes "glamour shots" of adoptable pets to greatly increase their adoption rates.

Fuelly is a great web page for fuel tracking and comparison with other drivers' results.

Variables don't. Constants aren't.

Naturally, you have an appointment made to sterilize yourself, right?

Here's a similar one.

Some amplification to the article and corrections to the comments. I have 260 traps aboard (mostly) the Independence and the Kennedy, one hundred of which were at night, all in the F-14A Tomcat. I was a RIO, in the backseat, though, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt; the stick monkeys see slightly…

For the toilet repair, you'd be better off using some silicone grease. Petroleum jelly will further deteriorate the rubber seal that it is temporarily "helping."

Your statement is incorrect. Lead bullets fly much farther and more accurately than do tranquilizer darts. Delivering a properly dosed dart in a velocity window somewhere between "hard enough to be accurate and to deliver the meds" and "soft enough not to punch through and maim the animal" is a very difficult…

I wonder how long before the TSA moves in.

You'd be surprised how much information you can process, and how much you can tune out. I often find myself wishing my car could display more information than it does. Sadly, I believe manufacturers build their cars for the technological lowest common denominator, so a nicely cluttered HUD would likely alienate more…
