Wouldn't that violate the formal definition of a gun/firearm? Here in the Peoples Republic of California there is a formal definition of a firearm as a device (no mention of the word 'gun') that "expels a projectile through a barrel" and a bit more. It follows what a rational person would...

I think it depends on the fire. If you are thinking of a house fire where the fire department will be on scene in 10 minutes there are several 1 to 2 hour rated safes. If you are thinking of a house fire where the fire department will be on scene in a couple of days, if even then, you don't...

Send that suggestion to: White House C/O DOGE Washington DC next January.

Indirectly, Amazon Prime has impacted many businesses because of the way shipping is handled. I have one client that sells specialty drill bits along with making custom tools too. They only sell wholesale and don't sell through Amazon, more like MSC and Granger. However, many customers...

Don't forget our DIY friend, YouTube, when it comes to fixing, installing or understanding the 'how-to' of things.

Yes. please add throw me, or my name at least, into Santa's hat for this.

Ah, makes more sense. Around here the UPS drivers seem like phantoms, you never really get to see them. Even the commercial drivers come, unload/load their trucks and then they are gone. I think they have a bonus if they pickup and deliver more than their 'quota'. I have heard they work...

Not to question your story, but.... I can not remember ever seeing a UPS driver take a lunch or in any sit-down situation out side of his truck.

I just went through this with Citi. A royal PITA because now I have to remember where, and with whom(?), I have auto pay set up along with waiting for the new card to arrive.

One time at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, the line for the Women's bathroom was looong. One women, fed up with waiting, just moved over and went to the Men's room because there was no waiting and SHE had to go. Should have heard the squeals, squeaks and watched the rushing bodies going out the door...

What size gun would be used for these suckers and what is the range and rate of fire? I don't think I want any fallout from these peppering my roof, lawn, me or my beloved freeway. How about DARPA investing the time and money to develop a big butterfly net in order to capture these offending...

I like to go with the the food industries' use; this date is a "best use by" date, not an expiration date.

Odd you should bring up Jethro. Max Baer Jr. (Jethro Clampett) is 87 years old today.

If they are authentic, any idea where they were collected?

Yup, did that one. Married 47 years until her passing 5 years ago. She claimed to have never contemplated getting a divorce. I asked, "how about just burying my body?" and she just laughed (a little to hard in my opinion) and refused to answer.

Ah, a Baptist.

Call them anyway and act surprised, maybe a little shocked, that anybody would keep a receipt for 1/4 of a century. A little bit of acting may melt the heart of the warranty department (in this season of good will, it may happen).

I already received one of Fred's Karma Gifts. So, to all of everybody: Ya All have a Happy Thanksgiving. If you are subjecting yourselves to the open road, look out for the turkeys driving the other cars. To quote Sheldon that he never said, "They be nuts".

Looks like a test plate for different sizes of carbide hole saws and straight shank carbide drills. Things like how many can I make, actually diameter and smoothness of the cut and any damage to the carbide. A company that makes these drills has several laying around. They have been putting...

I have to take the position for the loyal opposition. I recently got stuck in the reclined position when my house lost power due to a power outage. I too have back, neck and leg strength issues, I was 15 minutes trying to get out out the recliner; picture a stranded grey-headed bull elephant...
