    Woman braindead after being hit by ciclist riding in car lane

    This poor woman was crossing the road via crosswalk as she was creamed by yet another mouth breathing lance armstrong wanna-be ciclist. http://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Fairfield-woman-hit-by-bicycle-in-NYC-s-Central-5765942.php Just another example of why ciclists in the car lanes is not a...

    The police are only 10 seconds away

    Look at the brutal assault that happened with police only a few seconds away. This is why you don't turn your back on thugs. If you feel like you're in danger, make sure to have your hand on your weapon so you can prevent a situation like this. Thugs don't care about a fair fight. Whether...

    Easy quick deck stain

    I had some tenants melt a candle or some crap into a deck on a rental property. The deck is about 15 years old, and is in decent condition otherwise. Transparent, solid, I don't know what to use. I would sand it but the wax appears to be melted into the wood and turned it a dark...

    Anything police related in one thread, thread

    This idea is not working. There are way too many conversations going on at one time. If one or two, or three people don't like oldgamer they need to ignore him and not click on the posts, not try to silence him via manipulating the way things have worked (and worked well) for a number of...

    Adobe CC Creative Cloud

    Is it true that commercial customers must use CC??! I've spent easily $30k in the past year or so on getting employees up to cs5 or cs6 or whatever. Now we go to buy illustrator and photoshop for some new employees and they won't sell us the license..? It must be done through subscription.

    Ecoboost F150 as only vehicle

    Historically I've had 2 or 3 vehicles - a weekend sports car, a daily driver, and a small truck. I've almost always cycled through a different sporty car/dd every few years, but they've changed my state taxes to make this very cost prohibitive (rather than pay yearly tax you pay a huge upfront...

    How to copy large videos to ipad without itunes?

    My ipad was setup without itunes, which is fine for what I do. However, I'm now trying to copy a large video to my ipad. I connect to itunes and it doesn't recognize it. There doesn't seem to be a way to make itunes see the ipad without restoring it. Any ideas? I generally use icloud, so...

    Gun sales continuing to skyrocket through 2013

    I find it incredibly interesting that gun sales tend to boom right after a gun grabber event. Isn't it ironic that the the gun grabbers trying to enact restrictions are a huge part of what fuels gun sales, which results in even more push for pro-gun rights? Last year we had zimmerman and...

    Remind your household to pull over if there's a problem with their vehicle

    If you are the person paying for or dealing with car repairs make sure that all drivers in your household know to immediately pull over and call you, a shop, or the dealer if there's some problem. Often times you start out with a simple problem, busted coolant hose, lost oil pan plug, seized...

    First gen cts-v opinions and price check

    What are your thoughts on the first gen cts-v? I've got a lead on an 07, 70k miles, asking 19,5. The seller is a friend of a friend, motorcycle guy, who is known to take great care of his stuff. He's the second owner, has had it 3 years and only 15k miles. It was his weekend car and it...

    Is this racist? Suspicious kids being followed in grocery store

    Two kids wearing a beanie pulled low, diamond earrings, and hoodies are in your store filming and acting suspicious. Not buying anything, just keeping an eye out for store employees. If you keep an eye them from a distance, does that make you racist? Can the store manager shoot them if...

    Bats in chimney

    We get quite a bit of the chirping right at dusk, but it really doesn't bother the wifey so I'm inclined to just leave them be. The front is sealed so they can't get inside.

    Police Officer pulls gun on fellow resident

    Just another example of why we need stronger mental health checks before allowing someone to carry a gun and badge. People like this are pulling over your wife and kids. Notice how he tries to destroy the phone during the scuffle. Wonder what would've happened if the video was "lost". I...

    Extremely simple to use, inexpensive camera?

    I have a friend who is not extremely technically savvy. Can you recommend a very simple to use camera? The fewer buttons, knobs, and settings the better. It needs to be somewhat disposable as it will be around grandkids and the like. Thanks!

    Any input on neutering a dog?

    I have a shiba pup, about 8 months old, who goes just about everywhere with us and is already a major part of the family. He's very well-behaved, maybe a couple of "shiba quirks" but no spotting/marking inside, no humping, none of the typical problematic behaviours you can get with male dogs...

    Dodge Magnum SRT8

    Thoughts? I'm looking for a beater-ish daily driver car.. Something I can take camping, canoe trips, and will tow a small trailer for house duty. I have a ranger and I like it, but would be much more comfortable in a car.

    Good weather / emergency radio

    What to look for when buying a used car

    We get asked this about once a week, I figure a 'common thread' would be better than the haphazard threads we generally end up with. Make sure the car has a completely cold engine when you show up. Many 'knocks' and rattles only exist on the first cold start. First thing we will do is check...

    Can this tire be safely patched?

    This is a car I only drive about 8-10k a year max, and I usually get 15k miles out of a rear tire. I picked up a nail the other day, and after pulling the wheel off I noticed that the tire is just about bald on the inside. Can this still be patched? I know the tire only has ~5k usable miles...

    Offsite spam filter - Postini going to google apps

    Does anyone have experience with the offsite spam filters? I like them since it keeps all the spam off of our internal connection. I've used postini for 10 years now, ever since they were a small company. However, the filtering quality has gone way down over the past year. Also, we are now...

    How to speed up original ipad? Jailbreak?
