Also concerned that the episodes I bought via Amazon don't suddenly disappear.  I'll be endlessly pissed if I spent all that money for nothing.

Really? My old ‘98 Ranger used to average 20 miles to the gallon even when it got to be 12 years old. I have zero doubt in the right hands this new model will do that or better. I am thrilled to see the Ranger back, may just end up trading in my current car now that I no longer have a fifty mile commute.

Yeah, the wording on that comment was wrong. While it would be hugely beneficial for Google to assist the funding of STEM programs for schools that can’t afford it, all the students of that school, no matter their race or nationality should be allowed to decide to benefit or ignore the offering. The choices we make as…

Exactly, when my driving instructor told my parents he liked to teach all his students to drive a manual, my father looked at him, then looked at me and said, “if there is some sort of emergency that you cannot drive your automatic, and you can’t borrow an automatic from a family member, or call a family member or…

Took me awhile to dig through my old posts, but didn’t feel like re-typing it all soo...

Ok, so I love Kershaw knives but you’re much better off buying them from a knife dealer than online. While some are set up for a quick draw option, usually a right handed one, not all are and if you’re a lefty the odds are you will be sol. A dealer can set it up for the draw you want so that using your Kershaw is…

Yeah, in junior high my family was the first to have a personal computer. The running gag from my computer science professor in college was, “and then (so-and-so) released (this-model) and it had (this-much) storage space, which was more than you would EVER need.”

What gets me is that neither hit looked especially bad to me. I work with horses, I’ve seen some horrific head injuries, both hits seemed normal to me. Makes me wonder if his helmet is flawed. When riding, any impact to your helmet means getting it replaced, don’t think the NFL supports the same protocol.

As I understood it, none died but it took a day to clear enough rubble to get them out.

Sad that I missed the submissions, not that my story would have been chosen since it isn’t really scary but I would like to share it.

Screw peanut butter, Nutella all the way.

I was waiting to see someone post it. My brother did the same thing.

You’re dead on with the lead photo for me, Stormin’ Norman is the first thing that stood out for me. While I was old enough to be aware of the Challenger disaster my awareness of it centered more around my Grandfather’s reaction, he broke down sobbing when he heard what happened.

I didn’t see it live, and not until many years later. I remember my Grandfather being very upset, he had known one of the female crew members. I still don’t know which, he died a few years later. To this day the photos bring to mind my Grandfather crying inconsolably, he survived World War 2 and was such a strong man,…

Ok, calling bs on whomever called themselves a vet. I work in a breeding shed, just because the size doesn’t match doesn’t mean the horse wouldn’t feel anything. I couldn’t speak to psychological but the mares know when we are swabbing them, which is just a really long q-tip.

Actually, I just watched the video and realized that isn’t a yard but a tabletop setup....you’re correct that is a little small for him full time. Hope he gets time to roam around the rest of the yard and house.

The break in the JP fencing indicates it has access to the whole yard, not just this tiny JP model. Since the yard is large enough to have a lawn there should be more than enough room for this leopard tortoise.

Exactly, the break in the JP fencing seems to indicate it has access to the main yard.

For your average pet tortoise or land turtle, an aquarium sized 40 or 50 gallons is adequate and provides a nice place to keep them while you aren’t at home, unlike other reptile pets, their constant foraging diet means a constant rate of bowel movement. They also require lighting or regular time in the sun to be…

No, it’s a gun, it looks strange in profile because he has a tactical flashlight mounted beneath the barrel, that’s what is giving it that boxy taser like appearance.
