    the agony of buying a new phone

    Most companies factor in the cost of the phone into the plan which is why you can do straight talk (or whatever) for about $40 per month instead of the $80+ that AT&T, Verizon, sprint charge. Once your contract is up your phone is paid for and that extra $40+/month is pure profit for the...

    Choosing the ideal Sleeping Bag?

    Mont bell makes a stretching bag (the stitching is elastic) so tossers (like me) can move freely and still stay warm. I have hD mine for. About ten years and love it. The model I have is called 'down hugger'. Don't know if they make a synthetic model.

    A gun thread

    Jersey is messed up for sure. The firearm law is written so loosely that a bow and arrow can be considered a firearm even though no fire is used. And don't even get me started about how much trouble you can get into by making the venerable 'Potato Cannon'...

    My ambo...

    Kind of curious as to whether E85 is too denatured to use in a stove. That stuff was under $2 at the pump in colorado. 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline might be a touch to flammable for an alcohol stove.

    How much cast iron to take on the road?

    I used to work in an apartment complex in a 'bad part of town'. Found some old used and abused cast iron completely caked with carbon and grease. Easy off oven cleaner on the cast iron and then put in an oven safe plastic bag for a couple of days. Scrub and rinse well and then season. Works like...

    Possible problem for Photographers

    The patriot act expired a couple of days ago I think. So they can't "legally" do that anymore. For whatever the hell that's worth... Oh snap, nothing political... Never mind.

    Suggestions for venting wet cell batteries

    We had a guy in school who went by the name of 'Fifty Pound Head' (he passes out at a party and they weighed his head on a bathroom scale!). Anyway he got into the back of an old VW bug and the springs touched the terminals and torched the car (no one was hurt). He was a very large man...

    40 hrs per Week Job ?

    After watching my parents work their asses off for years and always talking about 'the golden years' where they would retire and tour the world only to be too worn out and spent to do anything but sit in an easy chair or couch and watch the idiot box... Both died of cancer. I swore to myself...

    Best wifi booster?

    Yes! These work well. Pringles can or other size cans can work as a directional antenna. There are many kinds that can be made for next to nothing. I have used this method as well as others (colander with a usb nub mounted in the middle of it with a usb extension) YouTube will have many vids of...
