      5g Home Internet?

      I'm on the trial for t-mobil and about to send their box back. I have to restart it almost daily. Probably a dud, but worth mentioning.

      Anyone run into this issue with LTCH application?

      Oh hey. Thanks. It's been a few years. Same here. I got mine and my wife's just before they switched. So even with my techsavvyness, I have no idea what to expect from here.

      Anyone run into this issue with LTCH application?

      Hey INGO, Has anyone run into an issue with their LTCH application where IdentoGO's site reports the Application number is invalid? Trying to help my mother get her license, and we've hit a wall. Called IdentoGO, and they said if the number doesn't work, they can't do anything. ISP's firearms...

      Illegal alien adults going to K-12 schools - DOJ disallows age verification

      If I had a daughter going there I'd pull her out asap.

      "Sons of Guns" star arrested on child molestation charge

      What a little ****. You can only imagine the quality of parents that brought him into this world.

      UMBRELLA-WIELDING MAN PROMPTS GUN SCARE AT LOCAL UNIVERSITY

      Worst part of the article says the guy with the umbrella "caused" the gun scare. No, he had a damn umbrella like anyone else would and some little expletive needs to stop thinking everything long and hard is a deadly weapon.

      Ferdinand Heimatfest attempting to suppress our rights...

      FB wouldn't be the way to go since it's exposed to the public. Private letter or call would be the way so any action would be silent and no one would be the wiser. it could be a sign from before preemption too.

      Would you ever buy a used car with 225,000 miles?

      I bought the cheapest thing with a decent body and powertrain. 97 k1500 with about 212k for 2800. It's no surprise I'm having small wear parts go out only a few months later and small leaks all over, but for the mileage, I'd rather get the cheapest and put new parts in than spend 4k+ and things...

      Engine Assembly Lubricant For Firearms

      I used comp cam assembly lube to break in the ridiculous S&W made ppk/s. It did work really well to smooth things out and make it reliable. Be careful though, if it's not oiled regularly with that goo on, it will dry up and gum up the gun. Hammer block stuck open on mine until I cleaned it all...

      NSA seeks to build quantum computer that could crack most types of encryption

      Banks use all the long heavy encryption. NSA probably is so obsessed about it that they're trying to get the cracking in before new algos come out. I wonder how fast that quantum machine is compared using an array of video cards.

      neat way to test batteries to see if they have a charge.

      You tickled my nerdy bone. One thing, though. Most car batteries still have vents. At least the cheapies.

      What do you use to clean your firearms?

      Sounds like you got a lil more of Russian than you bargained for.

      Alternate Energy (steam)

      Lol I got a wife and girl on the way. Last thing I bought and didn't need was a 147lb hay budden anvil for $200. Last crazy thing I buy, but it's the last crazy thing I have to have to do what I enjoy :).

      Alternate Energy (steam)

      Hahaha. That's crazy. I'm surprised you could use three in a stack. Those things are so inefficient that they end up heating themselves without a really good sink on them. I wanted to put a water block on mine, but that was before I had my own income. :(

      neat way to test batteries to see if they have a charge.

      My guess is maybe the weight of all the electrons being on the bottom of a full battery, stuck the cathode and waiting to be reunited with the anode? For 9v it would probably not work with alkalines as the cells are stacked vertically.

      Refused Service

      The only non fancy drink that doesn't taste like char is an Americano. It's pretty good and cheaper than the fancies. I still go to DD though.

      A winter prep

      Flame sensors. Modern gear use a little metal rod poking through the flame to prove flame. These can soot up and trick the controller to think there's no flame even when there is and it'll shutdown and try again. If it doesn't prove after a few tries, it locks out. The more attempts made, the...

      A winter prep

      My inlaws have had some bad luck with they're furnace and water heater. I had to fix them quite a few times in the last two years. Maintain your stuff, or you could be stuck with no heat and cold water. If you're not comfortable, call someone you can trust for a check-up. So we have a high...

      Alternate Energy (steam)

      Those little wood burning chargers use thermoemectric couplings. You can build your own stove, but the TECs are very fragile if care isnt taken. They're made of little semiconductors sandwiched between two very thin ceramic plates. Overclockers in the early 2000s used them to refridgerate...
