Question: Is 121.5 a heading that intersects the No-Fly zone or a radio frequency?

Um, I already conceded that point in an earlier response.

You are correct. Because he or she didn't die and because medical care would have been available if he/she had been injured this person would have survived to reproduce thus nullifying my assertion. For that matter, if this person was already a parent my assertion would have been null and void.

Not that anyone actually pays attention but in driver's ed and (I assume) on most states' driving tests there are sections covering train crossings and how they work. Given that, every driver on the road in the entire country should know how to behave around a train crossing regardless of whether or not there are any…

What are the odds the driver will try to sue the train operator for some unbelievable reason? I didn't see it coming. I didn't hear it coming. I didn't know it was a train crossing. I don't know what flashing lights are. How was I supposed to know you're not supposed to drive around the crossing guards?

No need to be fair to the driver. Ever. They're call railroad right-of-ways for a reason. The train has the right of way. Period. Train will always win even if it's crawling at 3MPH. It will always win.

If you've got mild OCD then TPMS is the worst car technology. If you've got acute OCD then OMG, don't drive a new-ish car.

Those contests can go on for days...and the deck of the Intrepid is open to the elements, right? Man, that's gonna suck.

And where does the power for the electric motor come from? Batteries? How big of a battery pack do you figure a 40 ton main battle tank needs for an effective range of, say, 200 miles and off-road speeds of up to 40MPH? And realize that 200 miles is on the [very] low side for a diesel tank. A 40-50ton MBT should have…

This is relevant to my interests.

Look at that cute little wheel-chock. As if it's going to help keep the damn thing from moving if it decides it wants to start moving. They need to use a Prius or something as a wheel-chock.

Not squeamish myself but sad that it took a while to die. I'm all for killing vermin and other so-called "pests" but the killing should be as swift and clean as possible to prevent, you know, suffering.

Santa Barbara? Wonder what beach they were driving on? Oceano Dunes are a bit up the road near Nipomo/Pismo. Did they have beaches open to vehicles closer to SB back when they made the film?

Always wondered how many takes that scene took to...uh, take.

Some of the larger truck-based Quail Rigs could work as Zombie Mop-Up Rigs...just need some higher barriers to prevent the undead from reaching over, etc. Maybe the Texans are on to something...

The sport biker rider was doing it right. The Harley rider, not so much.

A few weeks back I started to notice a lot of new riders on the streets here in Vegas. Our riding season never really ends but the cold weather and occasional rain during what passes for winter here does cut the riding population down more than you'd expect especially when compared to places that get real cold weather…

It's sad is what it is. Creationists can't seem to get around the "problem" that evolution actually works and that it is in operation right now. It's not some remote event that we suppose happened in the past that we believe that we have evidence of. It's an actual, observable reality.

Off topic but on one of my visits to Maui I was mistaken for a local since I was in a 7-11 picking up snacks before dawn in preparation for a drive up Haleakala to take in the sunrise.
