      Steel Roofs

      We lived in a rented farmhouse for a few years when my kids were little. Landlord said the house was built just after turn of the century. After a bad storm, the 70 year-old steel roof failed when the fasteners broke from the peeled pole rafters. The steel roof was still intact, it was just...

      Gun show loophole closing?

      At least now that the gunshow loophole has been fixed, now they can set about fixing the gender pay gap.

      OJ Simpson dead.

      The glove thing always got me. The way I understood it, the glove was out at least over one night, maybe more, and it looked like it was wet from dew, then it dried out. That's going to shrink up a glove. Then, add to that the fact that OJ had to put a grippy latex glove first before trying...

      OJ Simpson dead.

      She didn't say that black people felt connected to him, but everyone knew the congruity of OJ's trial, and the trials of white men, particularly in the south, who had killed black people, and who had been acquitted in the past. Are there people who were not aware of that?

      The Effect of "Abortion Rights" on the Political Landscape

      I agree, and I think if it were possible to survey every voter in America about exactly how they feel about abortion, there would be more uniformity than the politicos would want to see. And the politico's discomfort about that is because that uniformity throws a monkey wrench into their...

      The Effect of "Abortion Rights" on the Political Landscape

      If you mow your lawn, you almost certainly kill dozens of seedling trees each spring and summer. I get mostly Silver Maples, but always some Pin Oaks too. I have one decent-sized Silver Maple and several smaller Pin Oaks that I saved from the mower to allow them to grow in my yard. Although...

      Tooth ache

      Several years ago, my son and I were at the Indy 1500. I picked up some medical prep supplies for my SHTF kit, including an old pair of tooth-pulling pilers (because you never know). My son said "You know what that means?" I said "No, what?" He said "If the SHTF, you're a dentist."

      The Juice is loose !

      I thought it was a thread about an INGOer's story about his juice-fast that went wrong.

      Today's You Can't Make This Sh*t Up News

      It's possible that I'm wrong, but I had thought that the age verification systems that were employed in countries like the UK amounted to a requirement for users to purchase or sign up for a certification process, and that it was something that was easily gotten around by minors. If I'm...

      Hearing Loss

      My dad was one of those guys who didn't have a lot of tolerance for loud children (among other things too many to list here). One holiday when he was older, the grandkids were running around chasing and yelling as he just sat smiling in his chair. He saw me looking him and he pointed to the...

      Today's You Can't Make This Sh*t Up News

      Substitute "sell guns" for "show porn", and tell me if you support universal background checks and a national gun registry? I don't mean to sound snarky, it just looks like they're talking about the same kind of "common sense" rules that won't solve a problem but will infringe on legal (if...

      Childhood Muncie Gun Shop Memories

      I think the place at 5 Points used to be called Prairie Creek Bait & Tackle before it was a gun & pawn shop. At one time they were the only place in Muncie that sold black powder. I've driven past there a couple of times recently, but wasn't sure if it was still open, since there were no cars...

      Drain backing up

      The houses I've seen with grey water lines that bypass the septic tank were fairly old houses. Do they still do that with new construction do you know? Or do they run everything into the septic tank? Just curious, I'm on city sewer.

      Drain backing up

      In the house I used to live in, there was a grey water line that went straight to the leach field, bypassing the septic tank. If I remember right, the softener discharge was routed into that so that it didn't send all that salty water into the septic tank.

      SHTF Test

      I think you're right, that those things pertain to situations other than residential. The breaker hold-down surprised me, and hadn't occurred to me before I read about it. I will put a zip tie on my in-feed breaker, to secure it like the kit instructions specify, but you couldn't pull the...

      SHTF Test

      That's from the installation instructions for the Eaton kit. Looks like standard language and is probably the same on all the products that they sell. I didn't see anything that specifically states that the kit would be code compliant. There was a pdf that said the kit had received MET...
