An iconic image from the Vegas event showed four law enforcement officers hunkered down on the passenger side of their vehicle. Looking up and pointing towards the supposed shooter firing multiple rounds. In the background on the supposedly dangerous side of the police vehicle, there were...

I don't know details about Hollywood actors and WW2 service, and don't really care about any specific actors. I would suspect that some actors served, but never served in combat roles, as they were busy making Hollywood propaganda-entertainment films for the folks on the home front.

Could be the receiving whatever, can only take/needs 20A. Like McD's would like me to eat five Big Macs at a sitting, but I only want one. [Haven't been to McD, BK, etc. since the 22nd Century.]

The dumb cable will mechanically trigger the emergency brakes on the trailer as the cable goes taut. The chains will be the only thing connecting the tow vehicle and the towed vehicle. No smarts about it, just brute physical force. Always check that your coupler and the ball are wedded in a...

Context is important.

Pahrump, which is in Nye County, does not require emissions testing. Outside of Clark and Washoe, registering a vehicle from outside Nevada requires a VIN inspection and an odometer reading at the DMV office to get registered. That's it.

I had purchased an 11" vent fan by mistake. Still in the box, too late for the OP. Found out after it arrived why it was cheaper than my usual ones, name brand 14" fans, that I had been buying. Couldn't decide how to go about passing it on. One of these years I might drop some other basically...

VW programmed the engine computer to detect when the vehicle was running an emissions test, then the computer would go into a very low emissions test mode, which would not be performing near normal driving mode on the road. I viewed it as the test procedures were no where near normal driving...

And Google is completely trustworthy. /sarc When it's free, you are the product. Slaves had free rides from Africa to the West Indies.

Life was extremely Short, Brutish, and Nasty. And still is for many in the Global South. For a current example of one of the worst places, which is in South America: https://www.mybestplace.com/en/article/la-rinconada-one-of-the-most-hellish-places-on-the-planet 55,000 people with no clean...

In Medieval times, pouring human waste upon someone being paraded through the streets was probably used on the occasional Catholic in an Anglican nation. On a really good day one got to see a Lady Godiva in the flesh without a cover charge.

Yes on the A/C off. When it's hot, such as crossing from Delta, Utah to Ely, Nevada in July/August, using max interior heat will help keep the engine from going nuclear hot on long, steep uphill runs. Opening the windows will help to feel a bit cooler. Watch the temp gauge as you go.

Amazon Freevee* advertisements prescribe a Shingrix jab for shingles. Mentions zero cost for most everyone. Tag line "Shingles don't care, Shingrix cares". *Freevee is Amazon's reboot of commercial television.

I have a couple of these, one on the outside of the RV in the shady side of the RV, and one on the inside of the RV. To reset the range the battery needs to be removed. I have similar units in my DC refrigerator to track the temp range near the top at the front, and at the bottom back. Top #...
