    update of asset forfeiture laws

    RBG, just back to work from her medical leave, has written the majority opinion in a unanimous decision by the Supreme Court in the Timbs case. Hopefully this will be the impetus to curb the overzealous seizures by certain states, towns and counties...

    Real talk...Cleaning that toilet "bucket"

    DO NOT MIX BLEACH AND ALCOHOL - makes Chloroform, which can further break down and make Phosgene. https://www.thoughtco.com/bleach-and-alcohol-make-chloroform-607720 Bleach and Ammonia makes Chloramine gas, not phosgene. Bleach and Vinegar (or other acidic products) makes Chlorine gas...

    What's for dinner?

    Sliced tomatoes is a common side with breakfast. Sunny side eggs over grits, bacon, sliced 'maters...yummy way to start the day. Also good for omelettes...a little Feta cheese, onions, diced tomato = Greek. Can add diced tomato to any mix of scrambled eggs... Don't limit your choices just to...

    Are any of you worried about autonomous vehicles?

    Changes to transportation and its supporting infrastructure will come eventually, but it will be a gradual evolution based upon economics. 10-20 years is quite the leap of faith. Also the 'experts' are already warning of the dangers of Artificial Intelligence: Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, Elon...

    OBDii–Use before & after you buy a vehicle?

    I bought one of these as an easy way to add a tachometer....plus it is a code scanner along with trip computer. As mentioned, reading codes is only the first step after the 'check engine light' comes on. https://www.scangauge.com/

    Couple of posts here talk about soy based insulation being why rodents chew wires up....believe me they've been eatin wires long before any soy was introduced.

    Quick Charge House Battery E car charger

    Curious...since the car uses a liquid cooling system to maintain proper battery temps, will your setup utilize any type of cooling system? I realize you are just using a portion of the cars total capacity, and your loads probably won't approach that of the car's motors...but 18650 form factor...

    This one is calling you

    Now, if you wanted bullet proof reliability and rugged, ya can't beat the Checker 8 door Aerobus. My brother rolled up the driveway in one of these...'back in the day'.

    Where is the best place to buy my first propane tank?

    My 30 pounders with OPD take 7.1 gallons to fill from empty. I have 2 of these that were bought new. My 20 pounders with OPD take 4.7 gallons to fill from empty. I have 3 of these that are from exchange sources. This brochure from Worthington shows those same capacities: I can't find...

    Where is the best place to buy my first propane tank?

    Exchange tanks are usually only 'filled' to 15 pounds (3.5 gal)...strictly for profit. A standard 'BBQ' 20 pounder holds 19.7 pounds or 4.7 gallons; and is designed with the 20% safety margin at that capacity...don't let the 'exchangers' try to bullshit ya with "it's only 15 pounds to leave room...
