Bookstores used to be really bad about the card and you almost couldn't get out of the store without having to say no 4 times. They may still be like that but I rarely go in them now.

Look at the youtube videos of the fans in the Baja style races. I would post some here but the ones where a sepctatorisn'thit are hard to find.

I guess it comes down to how big the market is for "hardcore" console gamers versus people who own a console and game on it casually. I know on this board and most console/gaming sites it will skew heavily toward the more hardcore. A large portion of the time I play on a console is when the...

More than 1/4 of the people who died in OK were in a basement. Looking at the aftermath I'm suprised more people didn't die. You also took green to mean "no danger" instead of just lower than the red areas.

Obvioiusly everyone needs to move to North Dakota or Montanna. Worldwide populations are nearest water which also happens to be the locations with the highest danger or natural disasters.

Agreed. I thought we were discussing if you were supposed to exit your car and seek substantial shelter or drive away from the tornado given approximately 15 minutes of warning. I do not live in tornado alley but they are still frequent in the area. You get lots of watches and then can go on...

My jimmies are rustled because apparently I went to the wrong university. All of the classes in my major had 8-10 students in them and if you missed one class you had to have an excuse, and a good one at that. Missing two was pretty much a failing grade in that class. To add insult to injury if...

I agree, soon as federal taxpayers stop sending money to the federal government to fund FEMA. Also stop putting stuff in disaster relief bills that have absolutely nothing to do with disaster relief.

15 minutes ahead of touchdown the sirens in town went off and I assume a broadcast of the warning as well.

From the reports I saw they had a 15+ minute warning and had enough time to move the kids from the school. I think the don't run in a car is from if you can see the tornado nearby don't run from it.

Not sure about OK but not far away in North TX they have a soil type called "shrink swell clays" which is a clay soil that dries out in the summer and gets huge cracks in it up to a foot wide (most smaller) and it literally destroys slabs and anything put into the ground. Many houses have a...

I've never lived anywhere that had basements or tornado shelters, if a school has a hardened shelter and it's above ground how big does it have to be? Do they wind up building a hardened shelter adjacent to the school that's 1/2 the size of the school to fit all the kids in?

Will wait and see what it looks like tomorrow. We went to Birmingham to help with the cleanup. We have a semi trailer full of equipment that's pretty handy. Generators, chain saws, portable coolers, fans, etc...We went it to Joplin, MO and were going to drive up the next day to meet it but it...

Maybe the funding they request for OK will actually be geared toward people impacted by the tornado, unlike a good portion of the Sandy (and Katrina) bill that was someones pet pork project that had no business being in a disaster relief bill.

Tornados are frequent where I live and you can't build basements here. Dunnoa bout OK.

I would but the elevated non on/off part is 30 miles which would pretty much suck with a 25 window to get gas lol.

I've been thinking about getting a car since I do drive a lot in my commute. It's 95 miles one way which takes me about 1:10. It's interstate the entire way except for a mile on either end and elevated interstate for 30 miles of it with 1 exit/onramp in that span so that means really people go...

Wax the table top, especially if it's a cast iron top. Even aluminum will benefit from waxing and make sliding stuff on the saw much easier and will protect it at the same time.

There are guns that have even less for the receiver part. There are some that are nothing more than a folded piece of metal. I remember looking at one earlier this year that was a registered selective fire (including full auto) that was nothing more than a piece of metal bent 90 degrees about 6"...

The SEC could always go to a new schedule where Alabama, LSU, Florida and Georgia don't play each other and watch the rest of the country melt down when the top 4 undefeated teams are from the SEC and take the 4 playoff spots lol.

Not sure but they finished 3rd in the SEC west alone and would have needed both Alabama and LSU to lose their last game for them to finish 1st in the west. I really don't arguing that your bottom teams are better than another conferences bottom teams. Stoops should worry about being the top...

Part of it is probably they get used even down here in the south for 4-5 months and then not used till next summer as opposed to fishing boats that get loaded on and off the trailer here 12 months out of the year, or simply experience with it.

One thing to remember with a pontoon boat is you can't leave it on the water they are the biggest pain in the ass to get back on a trailer. I can't count the number of hours I have sat at a ramp waiting for someone to get their pontoon boat back on the trailer compared to other types of boats...

Chart is nothing more than an increase in background checks, that's all. It's not linked to crime or anything else. All you can draw from that chart is that there has been an increase in background checks. You can't draw a straight comparison between that and the number of guns sold either...

Hired a guy this week to do general shop cleanup, sweep the office, and wash the trucks of guys in the office one day a week. He said he was really excited about going back to work after being laid off and already had passed our drug test. Didn't show up the first or second day and when the HR...

I did draw this once, a water slide in Baton Rouge. Go ahead and laugh at my square, it was exciting to me. The next best option to get that clean of a cut is a waterjet that takes 1.5 hours to pierce and cuts at less than 1" per hour I did the design and detail of the walk way out...

Not really, I sit inside in my office for most of it and the guy outside does all the mans work by putting the plate on the burner and taking it off. It's a plasma burner with an oxy head as well. It has a side lathe that will cope pipe up to 24" for pipe saddles and multi part elbows etc...that...

New toy at work. I do the programming and drawing layout for some of the plates that the guy in the shop cuts. Did this cut in about 25 seconds.

Marathon candy bar. and of course, pixie sticks

Totally depends on the location and the DA. The DA will have the biggest impact on if you are charged. A guy here escaped from the cops, shot a cop and was on the run for a week or more. The state police got him cornered in a trailer and he shot the state trooper and dropped his gun and started...

Because plat has no value on test and never will as long as you can copy it over at will. You can really gear yourself up even to lvl 100 just by getting rots in popular zones 80+ such as the HoT zones and the RoF ones. Below that it doesn't matter much anyway. I see lots of good gear available...

They first said it was someone welding at the plant, but then I never heard anything about it. I know from the work I do fires break out at the larger facilities all the time but are relatively small, normally from a welder, grinder, someone drilling or a piece of equipment that catches fire due...

I live and work in the chemical corridor between Baton Rouge and New Orleans where there are approximately 90 chemical plants and refineries in about 70 river miles and for the most part the fire departments aren't even allowed inside a plant in case of an emergency especially a release. Every...
