A guidance counselor in HS talked to me and we came up with journalism as a possible career path. First year in college was spent taking journalism classes. I was required to take a TV production class and when I walked in to the TV studio something clicked. I was able to understand engineering...

When I was much younger and dumber I went to 133' with a single AL 80 while in Honduras. That was 11 years ago and I quickly realized how foolish it was. Today, no bleeping way. To do that dive without redundant gas is stupid. HockeyGuy, maybe 10-12 years back there was an article published...

I'm not a LEO but I might have a possible answer. Some banks employ off duty officers as security guards, maybe what you saw was the officer checking his schedule and also showing that the police check the banks. A crook would have to be real stupid to rob a bank while a marked police car is...

On the Interstate today I saw a commercial gas truck, looked like various welding gases on the truck, all the valves on that truck were pointing to the sky, tanks were vertical. It seems to me that the pros do it that way for a reason. Maybe I am wrong. Thoughts and comments?

Suunto did make one, called the EON. Of course, this was back when nitrox was called "vodoo gas".

Let's see. Three failures: Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia since March 1961.That is just under 45 years. How many US man hours have there been in space? Apollo 13 doesn't count because they got the guys home.

Mike, please repeat after me, THERE IS NO FILMING IN TV. Thank you. We use video cameras and video tape and in some cases cool hard drive based boxes. NBC buys a pool feed and adds to it with their own facilities. Some events, like a minor sport or something the US is not good at, NBC would...

OK, Federal law says that you must be 21 to buy from a FFL, Federal Firearms License holder, (gun dealer). Depending on your state's law you may or may not be allowed to buy. A concealed carry permit will NOT change the Federal law. Your state may allow private citizen to citizen sales, no FFL...

Bob, maybe that is the answer. The thing that is baffling to me is I asked about just a first name, not full name, street address and city. If a mod was also in law enforcement I could see concern. What is truly strange is that one of the mods who doesn't share my view has a link in their...

Spragg01, thank you. I didn't think my post was that warped.

IF I was going to PM you, starting the note with a real name just is nicer then saying wristshot. I am a member of a firearms forum where all the mods' first names are known. Several use their complete name as a screen name and it is weird to me that people here are not more open.

Hmm, check the price of a Ted Yost custom job on a handgun and get back to me. ($895 plus the cost of the base gun, about $500.)

Check with Pete, aka NetDoc here. Yes, the BIG guy. Part of his business is reselling web hosting and he should be able to point you in a good direction. The company he deals with is top notch.

Hip waders to aisle 1 !!! BTW, I was using both Rick and "the Kraken" as examples. There was a mod I wanted to PM, but I forget what post they noted their real first name.

Do you have a link? PM me if posting here would be "rude".

Yes, the original post was a week ago. Have you been test driving lots of cars? Do you have salespeople calling you? Come on boy!! This isn't like trying to decide between steel tanks and aluminum tanks.

Pete and all, what do you think of either having a sticky somewhere that has a list of the moderators and their real first names or in their on-line profiles they put their first name. With a few mods they use their name as there screen name, Rick M. for example but "The Kraken"??? If I want to...

Somewhere I once saw a bumper sticker that said "Stupidity Should Not Be Painless", I do believe that this is one of those cases. The sick idiot who is doing this needs a serious flogging and then prison time where the other inmates know what the fool did.

The issue in the past was that a person could book a flight, check a bag and then not board the flight and the bag still would be on the plane. That is a major security issue. "They" claim that that can't happen now. What does happen is usually baggage handler doesn't load you bag on your plane...

Hey, can we start a group buy for PST??? We must have some people here with deep pockets. I'll toss in $1,000.00 US.
