    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    We've had one for almost 4 years and it's been great, would buy another. VERY quiet, and does what it's supposed to do very well. We pre-wash pretty well, OTOH dishes set for several days until there's a full load, so there's potential for dried residue.

    Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

    Meth use can cause the user to lose sensation of body temperature. Even in severe cold they may remove most clothes, and freeze to death if not found. On a summer day in the 90's, they may be wrapped up in a snorkel parka.

    Friday OT Tell us about the 1st time

    There were some friendly girls in the neighborhood who provided more than the movies. And wasn't far to the South Dakota border where legal age in small town bars was quite low if you were with someone they knew, legal or not.

    Friday OT #2 - But Why?

    English measurements instead of metric. Base 10 everything is way simpler than 32 and 212 degrees for water freezing boiling, 16 oz is a quart, 5280 feet is a mile (allegedly, almost no real life mile is) etc etc etc

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    What I was trying to point out, is that to collect damages you have to show that damages were suffered. His athletic career doesn't suggest that loss of future wages etal would be a viable basis. Loss of scholarship, that very possibly would but he's still on the roster, hence presumably on...

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    I'm not into internet debates, more into being educated or vise versa, probably won't post further on this topic. Anyone who is involved in legal processes should know that the first thing an attorney will look for is whether proper procedures were followed. Proper notice, timely filing, cite...

    ISU Gambling Megathread

    Can someone explain what Hanika can possibly win out of the attorney's actions, other than a big bill from the attorney? Two years of ST only, returning 2 kicks and making one tackle. Last when all of the other TEs were injured, he caught 17 passes for 244 yards in 12 games. Didn't appear to...

    That must rock your world, if it's a 12. The birds can pick up your crumbs. Sounds like you're ready for a 3.5" slug gun. That'd send back to the last tax season

    Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

    Riding RAGBRAI into a very stiff headwind, down on my bars, I came up behind a very attractive person also down on her bars, and her very loose top allowed other anatomy to also be down and very visible. It was very inspirational, the only headwind I've ever enjoyed.

    McAfee Popup

    My wife has occasionally gotten similar popups, not that specific one. Not an actual virus, but a site that sends repeated notifications, the worst a constant bombardment. In her case they originated from third party links on shopping sites that hadn't done a good job of screening their...

    Phenylephrine decongestant does not work

    The old ditch labs, no, in part due to the controls on the primary ingredients. There still is some locally produced by the shake and bake method when the makers don't blow themselves up, but by far the vast majority is trafficked. It's very definitely a huge problem in rural Iowa, as it is...
