It's not the voters who elect candidates, it the folks who count the votes that elect the candidates!

Boil one bag egg noodles in a 4qt saucepan about 5 minutes, drain, return to saucepan, pour in 2 cans of veggie/beef soup and 1/2 can of water, bring up to temp. Will feed 4 people for under 4$.

Star Trek type configurable interface stations — here we come. That is the obvious use for this kind of technology.

@Hellaphunt: already have them. There are merit badges for technical items too.

Interesting Points of view, as a 20 year scout leader, the people bashing BSA should try getting involved and see how effective it is in raising strong principled young men. I guess the boy I pick up every Monday to take to our meetings, who's mom is single w/4 other children just is getting brainwashed with all that…

not more punch than .45 ... no sonic boom means subsonic speed for the rounds. Something a .45 isn't. More than enough to potentially kill someone quietly though. Wonder what the cycle time is. Not to mention a smaller projectile would be able to achieve higher velocity.

Been doing this for years on modems and voicemail boxes... standard dialer stuff on most applications.

@Zinger314: My guess is he's never had an occasion to use one for what it's intended too... so no problem ruining it for a picture.

@infmom: Anyone with a normal 15cf chest type freezer can handle 1/2 of a beef w/o problems. A full 1500-2000 cow only produces about 700-800 lbs of meat. So a 1/2 is only 350-400 lbs.. easily fits. My family butcher a hog & cow every year for the freezer. Advantages of a Midwest Farm Boy up-bringing — never knew…

Sunrise is a great end to an evening but H*ll of a way to start a day...

Keep all the trimmings from veggies, that means the roots/skins of onions, carrot ends, celery, bok choi, etc.. save them up and make your own vegetable stock. Same thing w/chicken after you take the meat off or turkey, etc.. At 2-3$ for 32 oz of stock in the store, plus all the chemicals, make your own then freeze…
