My cynical thoughts: Most of the "science" that I see offered seems to have sources that provide it for 1) Money, or 2) Mind Control. Or both. Politicians lie like rugs, and most of the benefits go straight to them. If one of them tells me that the sun came up this morning, I would step...

Driving in high winds can be begging for trouble. If you're living in a van, what's the hurry if you wait a day or two? Some people think their standard height van won't be a problem. Well, what do you think could happen if you're in the right lane, and an empty semi is passing you when it...

The most important conditions to consider are the ones surrounding YOU, at the time. And to keep in mind that you are not special, God is not going to protect you under all circumstances, and that bad things can happen to anyone.

When people fighting over a charging spot makes the national news, it's probably a good indicator that long-distance travel isn't a good idea.

Get a box of DampRid, used for removing moisture from places like closets. This is probably best used as a finishing method, after using some of the suggestions above. Don't put it directly on the carpet or seats. Either spread it on a couple of trays, or among empty flat containers (like...

Some really bad things have happened to people who routinely think, "Oh, it will be all right -- just keep going". I lived in Las Vegas, NV for 5-6 years, driving limo. The number of people who refused to listen to that little voice was incredible. Vegas is in a valley, surrounded by hills or...

To repel rodents, my first thought is a cat or dog, and a roll of fencing to circle the vehicle. Have a separate strip along the top that flexes inward to discourage climbers. Yes, the bulk would be a nuisance, but how much does damage repair cost, in comparison?

I seriously doubt that data collectors think or worry about anything except profit. And I'm sure they sell it to anyone who pays them. And if criminal entities find a way to connect 'harmless' information to your seriously private info, they won't worry, they will just raise the price, because...

I was reading that those idiotic automatic car door unlocks (which let strangers into your car) can be turned off. Maybe these InfoStealers can be turned off, too.

He's 82..... possibility of a medical emergency. Hope he's found safe.

I seem to remember someone here (maybe a year+ ago) advising to have Windows installed by a dealer, but I can't remember the reason why.

Just a passing thought... Everyone seems to mention highly-populated areas, which always cost more for most things. What about trying smaller towns or less populated areas? Sure, the bigger places have more available stuff, but how much do you really need?

If you want to make a brick stove, use red clay bricks, which have already been heated to 1,000 to 1,500°F. Cinder blocks can explode if they absorb some water, as they're made from concrete and gravel. The thought of being blinded by an exploding brick, while out in the boonies makes me sweat..

Don't use anything that would trigger the politically correct psychos.

And sometimes the person driving doesn't think the laws of physics applies to them. I saw one on Interstate 5 this week. I was doing 60+ in the right lane, approaching my offramp. A box truck was passing me in the middle lane, and about 15 feet behind him was a Ford 350 pickup hauling a...

NICE!

How do ants get into a radiator?

Re: parasitic draw... I don't know much about mechanical stuff, but if you tow a trailer and don't disconnect it when you're parked overnight, I understand you'll usually affect the truck battery. Just tossing this out there. It was news to me when I read it.

I saw Maki2's mention of a Zero Gravity Chair, so I looked it up to see what it is. I already own one! If you're a senior, BE SURE to try one before you buy. The first problem is the front bar that sits on the ground. It was cleverly designed so that when you decide to stand up, you have...
