    Who's installed synthetic turf as a backyard?

    Talk to the local Camp Bow Wow or similar doggie daycare and ask what they use. They have some kind of astro turf in their outdoor areas.

    I just read a few articles about the history of that plant. Apparently, there were concerns about embrittlement of the pressure vessel.

    It looks like there are still spent fuel caskets on the site. https://yankeerowe.com/fuel-storage/

    DOE handles the waste. The current DOE secretary is Jennifer Granholm, a former Berkley law professor, chosen for her political agenda and not for her practical experience. So do not hold your breath for DOE doing anything that makes sense and benefits US in the long run. The move to "green...

    Why is this happening to the US military?

    During the reign of Erich Honecker there was a joke about him coming back at night from a diplomatic trip and all the lights were on in East Berlin but not a single person to be seen. On the way to his residence, he drove by the wall and there was this big hole with a note. "You are the last...

    Why is this happening to the US military?

    Do you remember the old television sets where you could change the color saturation from vivid to almost black and white. Even in the 80' travelling through East Germany and crossing over to East Berlin felt like someone had taken to color out of the picture. Socialist equity = shared...

    It's worse than that. The other side spins the same findings into a narrative showing how noble they are. Saving "Our Democracy"(TM) from someone ostensibly more evil than Hitler.

    Starlink - What a long, strange trip it’s been…

    If you have a lot of trees around the house and do not want to cut them, then get an antenna tower and mount the starlink dish on top of it. Photo from https://www.starlinkhardware.com/will-starlink-work-in-a-wooded-area/

    Hellooooooo…Black Hills South Dakota

    Housing can be upgraded but they don't make land anymore. Hope you got some dirt for a good price.

    Several coworkers living in the PA,DE,MD area (all ERIC) still got mail-in ballots from neighboring states they had lived in before.

    Agree. Instead of worrying about financial shenanigans we should focus on getting our act together in terms of manufacturing self-reliance and quality in our country. The dollar will then take care of itself like it did the past. I also like him mentioning the Euro. That dollar challenger...

    Weren't you looking in MT before? If yes, you made a good choice. MT is obscenely overpriced an gets more and more californicated. In spent about a week total in the Black Hills while moving to and from MT and really liked it. Congrats.

    Funny that you mentioned it. I my last reply to your post I was initially going to ask for some (paid) advice. Then, thinking about this issue I figured it out myself. How about charging a consulting fee, have someone seasoned who actually has a clue answer these calls, and make everyone happy...

    I realize that this is a bitching and venting thread but nevertheless there are a few angles that seem to be missing here. Back in the days when Michael Dell was still operating out of his dorm, I owned a computer retail and repair shop. My passion was business software development but that was...

    In the Cummins world, I threw the towel at pre-2007 ISB level. The ISX front seal job looks like a bitch at first glance and I am glad not to have to deal with it. If I had to, I would probably outsource it instead of buying expensive tools for a once in a lifetime job. It is tough on forums...

    What you don't see in your shop are the DIYers who know what they are doing and fixed their problems. You only see those who fail and you extrapolate from there. What keeps me out of shops is that $30/hr monkeys are doing the work they charge me $150/hr for. That does not make sense for an...

    WTF? One candidate, Aisha Chughtai, presents herself as a Muslim, the other, Nasri Warsame, as a Somali. Somalia is 99% muslim. The LBTQ......+("plus" is for pedo) crowd has not even entered the fray.
