    R.I.P. - Rob Reiner and his wife.

    Be advised that Wikipedia sources mostly ALL left wing news outlets. They're not gospel by any stretch of the imagination.

    R.I.P. - Rob Reiner and his wife.

    In life you often get back what you put out. Reiner attacked Trump relentlessly and constantly. Far beyond what was necessary to get his point across. This no matter what Trump had accomplished. Had he put that much effort into his own family matters, this might not have happened. He attacked...

    Black Friday

    The biggest problem with all of these "Black Friday" sales, is it brings out the absolute worst in humanity. People fight over last years model TV's like lions fighting over a fresh kill. And most of the stuff is all discontinued models. Especially electronics. You're better off waiting for the...

    Are NEBO Flashlights Worth The Money ?

    I ask because I was at my local gun shop yesterday and they had a display on the counter of 2 models. One was $139.99, the other was a bit larger, (read brighter), and it was $229.99. They both looked really nice, and were priced accordingly. I just wondered if anyone here had any actual...

    What watch you're wearing?

    I have 2 Seiko's that I haven't worn in years. One yellow, and one in Stainless steel. They have that self winding set up. If you don't wear them daily, you have to shake them back and forth for awhile to get them wound enough to work.

    What watch you're wearing?

    I quit wearing watches 11 years ago when I retired. I also took my digital alarm clock out to the rifle range, and put a round of .300 Winchester Magnum through the front of it. It took me about 5 minutes to pick up all of the pieces of plastic. In the last 11 years I have had no use for either.

    How Long Can Lithium Ion Batteries "Sit" ??

    Like most of you, I have a large amount of Lithium Ion battery powered flashlights, along with other tools. (Drill drivers, etc.) Most are used infrequently. I always fully charge them before putting them away. My question is, about how long should they be allowed to sit before recharging them...

    Does It Hurt LED Bulbs To Turn Them On & Off ?

    What is considered a "good" brand? And what is considered, "bottom of the barrel"? Are these things rated by Consumer Reports, or something like that?

    Does It Hurt LED Bulbs To Turn Them On & Off ?

    I know fluorescents should not be turned on and off constantly. It's better to leave them on. But what about LED's? Is it better to turn them on and off as you leave the room... Or just leave them on throughout the course of the day?

    Those tunes that get stuck in your head

    It's been said that all the good music has already been recorded. I believe there is truth in that statement. Look at, "oldies stations". They exist almost everywhere across the nation. Usually found on the higher end of the FM band. We even have one here out in the desert. Many that broadcast...

    Mag-lites circa 1983.

    This is my 80's 6 D Cell Maglite I recently converted to LED. It's seen little actual use except for around the house. Which is why it hasn't gotten all banged up.

    Those tunes that get stuck in your head

    For me it is Paul Anka's, "Goodnight My Love". They played it on the radio when I was going to the gun club. Now it won't get out of my head!

    why so much hate towards electric cars?

    I don't think there is one. Certainly not hydrogen. And we have had hydrogen fuel cells since before the Gemini Program. I don't either. The whole thing has become far more political, than it is practical.

    why so much hate towards electric cars?

    It doesn't matter if it can't be made to work financially. Toyota has been trying desperately with their Miria program for several years now. And thus far it's been pretty much a disaster financially. Even with subsidized fuel. Because the cars become all but worthless once the subsidies run...

    why so much hate towards electric cars?

    Hydrogen takes more energy to make than it produces. It's an even worse option than EV's for the masses. Because the infrastructure to support it is even more costly and difficult to put in place.

    why so much hate towards electric cars?

    And you keep comparing EV's to railroads and the Internet. What's next, how fast video games have improved? Jesus!

    why so much hate towards electric cars?

    And I'm dubious you would have a million dollars to bet with in the first place. Be that as it may, in well over a century they have not been able to do better than 1% of the market share they have today. Yet you actually believe they will be the majority in just another 12 years. As I've...
