    SpaceX explosion on pad

    Looks like about 10+ years since I last checked in here. Watching the video, it's just after the upper stage begins to vent GOX (Gaseous Oxygen) while being filled with LOX (Liquid Oxygen) that it pops. Since it's a Kero-Lox regenerator system, it could have been a leak at the umbilical that...

    Need a Ford part

    New Orleans - almost all to old vehicles, including up to 2005 were destroyed in the Katrina floods. Also the wrecking yards got deluged with 8 -20 feet of salt water, so that went away. Skyking: For you captain, I'll take a look at my local pick and pull. Appreciate it, limited resources...

    My brother gave me his 1966 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible, messy divorce & break-up. So he gave me the car so it doesn't become an issue in the future. The car is in exceptional condition, factory original 289 V-8 with C4 Automatic. Candy red with a white top, all glass is good, no chips or...

    Anyone ever smoke beef ribs?

    Yes, but they are really hard to light, & they go out easily. Hardwood like Hickory is good, but fruit wood is OK. Meat only picks up smoke flavor eary in the cooking cycle, and you only have to go about an hour wigh beef. Posted from Anandtech.com App for Android

    New "Watergate" of Sorts?

    Isn't it amazing that by holding a random meeting to discuss smear strategy at McConnell's new offices that nobody Mitch, staff, or aides, was bright enough to think 'Hey, maybe we should just close this here door, in case someone happens to come down this hallway while we are strategizing our...

    NFL Head coach Black Monday Firings 2012 - 7 Total

    This is about 4 years too late - I detest Norv and AJ and the damage they did to the Chargers. I made up my mind a long time ago NOT to support the Chargers as long as Turner was the coach. Hopefully nobody is stupid enough to bring him in to destroy their teams.

    Roger Goodell proposes eliminating kick offs in the NFL.

    Why not just have the two opposing team captains line up 5yards apart at the 50 yard line wearing pink or blue tutus, & have a coin toss. Who ever wins the flip wins the game, it's then over and everyone can go home safely without risking injury. Goodel would surely approve of that. Posted...
