    Page load time

    What's with the long page load time it's been taking lately (past month or two) on these forums? I know it's not my computer because it's been happening at home, work, school, etc.

    Living in a post-election world

    So, since the election will be over tomorrow... If your guy (whomever that may be) loses, will you give the winner of the election a chance, or will you complain from the get-go?

    Sad halloween for one family

    Have any of you seen this? A small kid was shot to death in front of his parents while out trick or treating. http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/11/01/halloween.slaying.ap/index.html All I can say is, I hope they kill this piece of trash... SLOWLY and PAINFULLY! :mad:

    Worst movie

    Hey everyone, don't ask why, but I need to find the worst movie I can. It can be the original or a sequel or remake, doesn't matter. So what's the worst movie you've ever had the displeasure to watch?

    How are you going to vote?

    Well, I got my civic duty out of the way today. We have early voting here that let's us vote a few weeks in advance of the actual election date. I can't tell you how much I just love that. No more having to scramble to re-arrange my day on election day to make time to go vote. I can schedule...

    Kvar

    Been meaning to ask you all this for a while now, but just now getting around to it. I ran across the KVAR unit online and did a lot of reading up on it... but to be honest, I don't understand it one damn bit at all. It's like reading Chinese, and I can't read Chinese. I understand watts and...

    This will make you mad...

    So I'm catching up on the news tonight, and I come across an article from a respected news source about how cops in my state are being given the date rape drug Versed to use on prisoners. This is absolutely asinine! The excuse they have is that it's used to subdue unruly prisoners, but it...

    Gas prices vs oil commodities

    With oil having jumped quite a bit the day before yesterday to hit a new high, I expected to see gas prices increase quickly to match. However that hasn't happened yet. Could it be that the price of gas is not being driven by the oil commidity market as much as it used to be?

    a/c unit

    Well, since last year my a/c unit has been freezing up occasionally... this year it's noticably worse than usual. By freezing up I mean the return line (the large one) freezes solid and doesn't return the coolant, or so I presume, since the air coming out of the vents isn't cool when it does...

    Had another idea...

    Well I picked up a couple of 55gal drums to make a rain barrel out of, but I got an idea from them... they are sealed pretty well, and you know the liquid to fill them weighed so much that there was plenty of pressure in the drums themselves, so you gotta figure they can take some pressure. So...

    Gas consumption down, but prices up

    I read a news story last night that said that US consumption of gasoline dropped by 4.5% in April (compared to April of the year before)... that's about 1.1% of the world's consumption of gas. But the prices still went up... Not going to comment on why, it's all been said before... greedy evil...

    Wind turbines

    Does anyone have any experience working with or building wind turbines? I'm thinking about home-building a couple of them to reduce my electric bill... but am not sure how to wire it up.

    The United States Of... me?

    I was floored when I read that the house of representatives passed a bill to authorise the suing of members of OPEC and investigate and prosecute gasoline price gouging within the country. I was shocked partially just because they did it, and partially because they did it by such a large margin...

    Cheap peanut butter idea, will it work?

    Yesterday, as I was grinding, I got the idea to use the dust from where I've been grinding, to make peanut butter with. If it would work, then that would be a very cheap way to make peanut butter, because there are sections of my garage that are ankle-deep in fiberglass dust, and I'm A: not...
