Well if you didn't build on the flood plain, none of this would be necessary. :rolleyes:

I'm interested in the cast iron pepper mill. My ideal mill is:
- easily adjustable to fine/medium/coarse
- has a crank handle for serious volume grinding, not just a twist top
- bonus points if...

The Church committee may have been the best investigation by the US government of anything. Brought to light, among other things, Operation Ajax (Iran coup 1953) and Project MKUltra (experiments in...

IIRC, and this is a couple years old already, the US Navy applied for a patent on a process to produce jet fuel from sea water aboard aircraft carriers (using nuclear energy to power the process). It...

If not already mentioned: Worn starter motor brushes. Try turning key with someone tapping on the starter motor with a rubber mallet. If remedies, replace starter.

OP: The stainless steel appliances are not period correct, they need to be avocado enamel.

Even for 1980, carpet seems way off for the kitchen. My guess is it's a cheap way to cover hard floors...

The Dulles brothers equated christianity with capitalism in their foreign policy, and nothing could be more absurd with regard to the true beliefs of JC, however distorted those beliefs became when...

OP: All this means, is that while Holland rejects Christ as a deity, he agrees with him as a philosopher, which is also my view, as a non-christian, non-other-organized religion athiest/agnostic. And...

And the engine in the wrong end. Air-cooled V8 no less.

When I was in high school and vocational metal shop was the only thing I was good at, I took the guts from a drafting lead gripper, and machined a new body for it from stainless steel, section being...

Are those support vehicles or fellow competitors? My guess is the latter in their own vehicle class, but maybe not.

I agree, but I wouldn't underestimate GM at this point, they're on a performance roll. They have the tech to assist a dedicated and creative team. I think the big hurdle is the hybrid(?) powerplant...

I used to do hot-melt in the '90s on my never-wet (recreational) road race bike. I reveled in the tedium. The previous great stuff a year or two ago was wax with some molybdenum disulfide added, I...

That's primo stuff! The closest I have come is about ten years ago, the local subsidiary of Kroger had strip steaks like you see on the left above on sale for $6/lb, willing to cut to order. I got...

Usually these sorts of things are done via an old 747-100, but I can see that is a -400, I guess leftover fleet from Virgin, unless it's still in the passenger fleet, which would be quite intresting...

Finials?

IMO, Charles is a better and wiser person now than he was decades ago. And more comfortable in his own skin.

They're already working on a new generation of hitler youth via Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate (article today about 11 and 12 year olds listening to him and then being totally unmanageable in classrooms),...

Wow, you're right. I had heard about it, perhaps 10 years ago on public radio, thought it had been quashed, but not, not only still used in the USA but able to be labeled as "ground beef", according...

This may be truly amazing news. Not just because renewable. IF and ONLY IF, the dust from these tires wearing is not toxic like current tire dust, which causes fish deaths under bridges and puts...

Re the top link, looks like more sportswashing.

Depends on how much energy it takes to mine and manufacture the batteries, and whether they are constructed to be 100% recyclable. I've wondered about all these things as E vehicles scale up.

Once understood, would just get derided as "book learnin' ". Plus I can't copyright it.

When someone mentions the band "Guns and Roses", I always say that I think Guns and Butter would have been a...

Notably, Honda outboard motors had a screw on the carb that could be removed to easily do that. Was very helpful to flush the bowl of dirt and clear jelly that was kind of an emulsion of condensation...

Original Post: I don't see as much correlation at the high end of butter supply, life satisfaction is all over the map, more at the low end for lack of satisfaction equating with lack of butter, but...

!!!!! Make sure it has sufficient OIL. They usually come shipped with no oil, and often have a switch that shuts off the ignition if not sufficient oil. Figured this out on a neighbor's new gen that...

Many years ago on the road I stopped at a burger place, I *think* it was Steak and Shake, it was superb, had to wait for it cooked to order; Was thicker than the average but most of all was *really...

Many, many years ago I did solid modeling animations in SolidWorks I think, man it's been so long I can't remember. But for a one-shot deal, I would either make a small scale model from strips of...

1934 Chrysler Airflow, the first modern steel unibody car, immensely stronger than contemporaries and far better balance and thus ride and handling. From wiki, I recall seeing this film, IIRC, it...

I mentioned the above to a friend, smart guy, he said Southwest was also hampered by their different system (not hub and spoke), planes out of positions, blah-blah. I responded:

Truly a match made in heaven.

My favorite cartoon of hers, which I can't find online, is when they moved overseas in the early '00s I think; If I recall, she was shown ranting about the violence...

I like the torque mount. Frame axle slots are just not designed for that, very short bearing area and moment arm.

I like that the spokes have a cross pattern; I've seen a lot of large e-hubs that...

Yeah, IIRC, it used to be or still is easier to do that if GVW over 6000 lbs(?) Government actually subsidizing fuel wasting. Suddenly execs were all driving Suburbans.

1) 99.9% of time, no. But because I have seen signs here up long after the need, if there was no way around, I would try to determine (via map) how far ahead was expected flood, and only if not far,...

I hope for the best. I wasn't watching but I'm sure med personnel were on him within 60 seconds, in terms of O2 deprivation that's fast in a case like this, plus he's young and in good shape. Depends...

And after all the seriously hazardous racing he did, no guardrails, big drops, trees, etc.

Snowmobiling can be surprisingly hazardous, given the power, speed, no protection. I was on one once at a...

No cause of death listed the other day but that was my guess. There was case in navy, deck crew survived due to helmet shattering all the fan blades and I'm sure blown out the cold section and not...

I know what Southwest should have done. My brain is slow these days so took a few days to come to me.

The computer reservation system was locked up. Bypass it.

At each airport, one person,...

It's as old as Deus Ex Machina.

BTW, unobtainium was a joke among engineers; Example: "The efficiency of Wankel engines will be solved when we invent unobtainum 253 so they can run adiabatically."

Reminds me of the time decades ago I went to the ER and remarked, "Just like ER on TV" and the doctor said calmly, "Yes, but with less yelling."

No disrespect, but overhsadowed by the retirement of Judy Woodruff from the anchor chair of the PBS Newshour. Trusted.

We haven't heard the slightest shred of evidence, and people are rushing to judgment. A prosecutor's dream. His opening statement will probably be that this is satan incarnate, and the grizzly nature...

Correct. The fins reached their zenith on the '59, after which they started to tone down.

Last I looked not that many years ago, used Bridgeport vertical mills were selling dirt cheap, I mean less than a grand, and that's both a drill press and way more.
