I have been building my own railgun at my home over the last couple of years. Albeit, it is much smaller and less powerful. I had a couple of trial runs with copious amounts of failure before I redesigned the power control circuits. Effective power management has been my Achilles Heel, but my new design is…

Fish Creek in northern West Virginia. From the beginning of the road right by the Ohio River to my friend's house where it meets up with an alternate county road is 12 miles driving. But the straight line distance is about 6 miles. It has about as many twists as the Tail of the Dragon. To drive that road averaging 60…

I found this in my On-Demand lineup yesterday and jumped in. Hands-down the most promising new show I have seen in a while. The show resonates to me personally. A couple of years ago I was in an accident. I had very vivid dreams about what would have happened if my accident had occurred differently. While what…

So Nic Cage is fighting a Wraith from SGA?

Years ago, I was grossly over-medicated by a doctor who loved kickbacks from Big Pharma. One of the meds he gave me was Topamax. It had the nasty side effect of changing the way certain things taste. I was a drinking mostly ginger ale and Sprite less often at the time. But after a while on that medication, both…

Agreed.

That reason works too.

Hated the first movie. But I will go see this for 2 reasons: First, The Rock is driving the Riptide by Howe & Howe Tech. Second, I will just repeat the words of my sister "The addition of The Rock to any franchise just makes it more entertaining."

I do stand corrected. The Arleigh Burke-class completely slipped my mind. The Iowa-class was on my mind.

We have the supercarriers in place, which is part of the whole "intimidation by show of force" thing. But what we really need are a few hard core warships in place. The problem is we have no more warships, per se. We have frigates and cruisers but no destroyers.

With the inroads being made of metamaterials in today's scientific communities, I think the next stealth will be cloaking technology.

I misspoke when a said "curse", in hindsight.

Hold on now. I decided to rewatch "Alien" and "Aliens" this week to brush up in my giddy anticipation of "Prometheus". Burke is an great bad guy. Yes, he is a stereotype of 80's corporate goons (Come to think of it, he is a contemporary corporate goon. They are timeless), but he is Ash from the first movie. Just…

Has it occurred to anybody about the surprising amount of people from the principle cast that are now deceased?

Agreed. All cars are junk. That is the reason I am in business.

Also, the body codes that show as temporary DTC's will make people go insane if they start popping up on the infotainment screen. On every vehicle I would check, there would be dozens of temp body DTC's. And it is par for the course; the manufacturers consider that "normal".

At least no drones are blockading it. It's "crazy times a thousand".

Yes I do. When I was working for the luxury car dealer, I was considered to be one of the best electronic diag guys. Other dealers routinely sent me vehicles they could not fix or even diagnose. I had a very high success rate, well into the 90% range. Some occasions at night, I would run the schematics in my head…

You are correct. I just had a brain fart whilst typing.

I believe that is the same thread that my doc was making reference to. Maybe there was another study to see how low the threshold actually was, but we had discussed that the one she wanted to enroll me in was to see if 2 hours was enough. Again specifics are a touch vague, but the resting amount I remember clearly. …
