Talk about "standing watch at the helm"! No lounging about in this cockpit.

"We must protect our most vulnerable – our children," Stitt said, explaining that "minors can’t vote, can’t purchase alcohol, can’t purchase cigarettes."

I'll go one further and suggest we ban...

Took a bit to find a video of the performance. I don't see any "mocking" going on. Take a look at the lyrics, it is about the hypocrisy of so many "good christian men" who go off and have secret...

I think nails driven by a pneumatic gun will be the easiest and sufficient. One hand for the board, one for the nailer. You could add a dab of construction adhesive if you're really worried about the...

That's quite a list. You might consider painting the interior before closing it in, never going to be easier.

Not the prettiest boat but clearly he put a lot of thought into it, I can appreciate how purposeful it seems. All the splashes of color make it playful, much better choice than the usual antiseptic...

She does nice work, thanks for the tip!

Nice. I see you went for the "barrel". I have a spot cleared out for one and I'm waffling between barrel and dome, how did you decide?

Backyard fires are notorious for creating neighbor-vs-neighbor disputes. There are rules about what you can and cannot do within city limits but I've lost count of the number of times somebody has...

Mother Earth doesn't care about your snowbank, she's just going to keep spinning around and hitting her marks caring not for the current dominant species.

Like so many of our "days" it has deeper roots than a Bill Murray movie plot. This is the half way point between the winter solstice and spring equinox, depending on your religious bent it might also...

How much heat are we talking about?

The plans are hanging on the wall in my bedroom. Last thing I see as I turn off the light...

The "pull" is going to run between the top and bottom curves of the "S". The hoop will run up and down the mast in pretty much the orientation of the picture. Don't over think

It is actually pretty unusual for an ICE car to catch on fire in a crash (or an EV for that matter). Once you de-energize an ICE by disconnecting the battery it is pretty much inert, the problem...

I'll agree with Steamboat on the first sentence. The second? Not so much, it inspires me want to go out a build another boat in my shop. There are a few "honey-do" and "Steve-do" projects left...

Why on earth would you not want to look at ESG issues as part of your evaluation of a company before investing?

Lithium battery fires are very hard to put out. They are sensitive to heat to begin with and damaged cells tend to get hot, not much you can do but let it burn itself out.

One of the things the industry does that drives Gordon nuts is demanding he show movies for 3 weeks. He has owned the theater since the mid-oughts, he knows the audience out there. With a population...

I was pleasantly surprised to see both teams I was rooting for win. Surprised because it rarely works out that way, after years of haphazard observation of the game I've settled on cheering for the...

The picture I put up was from Pierce, they claim "seamless" transitioning between the two modes. I haven't thought about the horsepower differential between pushing the rigs up hills and pumping....

A friend owns the Vashon Island movie theater, one of the last truly independent screens around. He reminds me that they make very little money on ticket sales, food and beverage sales keep the doors...

I read the book and watched the Swedish(?) film last year, "A Man Called Ove" I think it was on Netflix. I thought the film was a decent rendition of a good book.

You're right, dams are complicated.

The Sites Reservoir is still based on more dams:

The 14,000-acre (5,700 ha) reservoir would be formed by several dams located in the east foothills of the...

Are there many more rivers to dam? It is not just fish that suffer, the entire valley/canyon upstream of the dam site gets drowned too. Raising an already built dam does the same thing.

Tesla's fast charging system is reportedly good for 200 miles worth of charge after 15 minutes.

But most people run up the mileage on the their cars going to and from work or around town errands...

This is the part that got me thinking:

" Our marina is being sold and this unit is no longer needed. "

Because I'm in a bit of a dour mood this morning my assumption is the marina is going away...

Thanks for that bit of good news!

Oh, you were looking for manly trucks?

Pretty sure the answer to your question is going to be "It depends".

How long is the plank? How much shape does have? A finished plank that is nominally 7" wide at any given point might need 18"...

Bending pipe is tough and is as much as art as science. You'll want tooling to match the pipe, the conduit bender electricians use might work but the galvanized mild steel they use is softer than...

Even killing someone comes with shades of gray. There are three types of both "manslaughter" and "murder" charges.

Getting the non-hull projects done before laying the keel is a great way to keep your momentum up late in the build. Chances are you'll have more space to work in too. Never hurts to know what you'll...

The last "prep" for me consisted of large quantities of yellow Gatorade and OTC MiraLAX. Much less foul than the prescription stuff they made me drink 5 years previous.

That seems like the simplest most ecologically friendly way to deal with a whale carcass. Do you know the rationale behind the "no towing" rule?

L.W. nailed it

Just so I understand the design brief, what do you mean by "crossings up to 100 nautical miles"? Open water like Miami to Nassau? Or did you mean 100 miles of "coastal cruising" which in my head is...
