That's really interesting. I know very little about how this stuff works, but these statements are telling... In a vernacular more familiar to me, the gain is set much too high for this testing. They didn't set these at 11, they set it at 13.

Flight hours are flight hours. If they take a 10 minute break from practicing refueling and doing touch-and-go's to fly over a stadium, so what? They're also practicing mission planning, coordinating with ATC and ground communications, and a whole host of other operational activities.

Only if you park under the nest.

Yep, if you get in the middle of a dog fight, you will get bit. Friend at work had his beagle get into it with a shepherd at a dog park. He got the dogs separated but got chomped on his lower leg by the shepherd. Its owner bugged out in the following confusion so he had to get rabies shots since they couldn't verify the dog had been vaccinated. $8000.

Yes, desperately in need of several high QB recruits. I feel for the guy, but when he's bad, he's really bad.

Wow. Could you move the next day?

Good stuff! That's not even the full 20" barrel, looks like a 16 or 18". Brazilian cops don't mess around.

A 950lb safe is too heavy for standard residential floor construction unless its footprint is bigger than 3x3ft. While not ideal for all the reasons mentioned, I wouldnt put it on anything other than concrete. Just manage the moisture. Would 2 smaller safes work better than one huge one?

Make owl/raptor habitat. A pair of barn owls with young consume an astounding number of rodents.

Yep, it happened pretty fast.

I've caught bunches of mice with these. I'm not talking about huge quantities, just the 1lb bags from the grocery store. They don't take up lots of space and one bag of bean soup is 10-12 bowls.

Dried beans will keep for years if stored in a cool, dry space (with no critters). As mentioned, vacuum sealing extends that even further.

There's a setting where the forum software automatically recognizes the link and displays it as a photo or video. You may have accidentally turned that off. Or there may be a format issue with the links. I think you can photo tags manually. ... ok, I'm not remembering what the tags are at the moment or maybe they're turned off?

Put penetrating oil on them. Heat them until the oil starts to smoke. Do that 3-4 times and then try the screw extractor with an impact driver. A manual impact driver would probably work better than an electric one in this case.

Doh! A good machinist should be able to remove those fairly readily.

I dont consider it one of those things, its utter mechanical ineptitude. Mostly on the part of the guy I work with. Mostly because he's an idiot. When asked how he was reading the dipstick with the makings not present, I got a shrug. Did the jagged end broken off at an angle not give you a hint?

A guy I work with went back and forth for over a year to the dealer with low oil level in his truck. He'd find the oil way low and top it off, then have several weird problems. He'd take it to the dealer, they couldn't figure it out. He'd get the oil changed, find it low, complain to the dealer, on and on... It took all of them more than a year to discover the bottom inch of the dipstick had broken off. So he'd been way over filling it causing several other problems and hundreds in service bills.

When I was a teenager there was a common speed trap at the bottom of a big hill on a 30mph road. I rode my bicycle on the road a lot then and one day I passed by headed up the hill and saw the police car in the usual spot hiding behind a big subdivision entrance sign. Hmmmm... So I chugged up the hill and paused for a breather. I turned around and was sprinting as hard as I could go when I hit the top of the hill, probably just over 30 mph. I tucked in as best I could and blasted down the hill, past the cop. As I went by, I heard the siren give one blip. I looked back and no police car. Phooey. So I turned around again and rode back up to the police car. Excuse me sir, how fast was I going? You're gonna get yourself hurt. Nah, there's bigger hills around and I'm wearing my helmet. So how fast was I going? You know you have to obey the laws just like cars right? Yes sir, so was I speeding? I heard your siren so I thought maybe I got past 30. That's why I came back. Yeah, right. Go home kid. Aww c'mon... how fast...? I'm gonna give you a ticket if you don't leave me alone. You gave my mom one a few weeks ago. Why won't you tell me? Son... Fine. Party pooper.

Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with a bunch of people you hoped you'd never see again.

RIP EVH.

I call that the crushed L4.

If this O-line can protect Guarantano reasonably, he's got a good chance to shine in his final season. If they let him get beat up (again), it'll be mediocreville again. He's a really tough kid to have survived the abuse the last 2 years.

The distance requirement is specific to hunting , and I think it's 300 ft. Make sure you have a good, earthen backstop. Noise complaints from the neighbors are the most likely issue, though I wouldn't expect much in Cocke Co.

We have one that belonged to my wife's grandmother. Haven't used it in a long time, but it worked fine when we did.
