    Good old days

    Good Old Days, no such thing. I remember brown skies, beaches covered with hundreds of dead fish, open sewers running behind houses, cars that were garbage after two to four years. The list goes on. Yeah I had less responsibility back then, also very little pay for long hours. Snow, I agree...

    Baltimore bridge collapse

    The companies reliance on old Maritime law will probably fall through as ship had power loss while at dock earlier. They will get stuck with the bill. That is until they file bankruptcy. Then all bets off.

    Battery powered lawn mowers

    For my city lot works fine. Nice thing is cutting grass early or late and not bothering the neighbors.

    Baltimore bridge collapse

    Lets be realistic, even with engines running full astern you are not stopping/changing direction on a vessel that large. Simple physics. Ever try stopping on a wet road at speed? Now imagine there is no road to provide friction. Bridge was built to standards in 1970. Probably designed a decade...

    Chrysler Turbine Car

    Believe there was an indy car that was turbine powered. Was not a quick accelerator, but once going no one could keep up. Exhaust pointed up, probably to generate more down force (pre wing cars).

    Flat Earthers

    If you have a telescopic sight and a boat, you can prove the curvature of the earth. Level the sight on a target on boat and motor the boat across a body of water. At some point the target will fall below the horizon. Simple math after that. A Babylonian with a stick determined the diameter of...

    Drones?

    If using your phone for video display while flying, make sure it fits in the bracket properly. Mine keeps popping out randomly. Second grumster's point, wind can be an issue with smaller units. Had a couple concerning moments with one at work having a hard time returning to base because of wind...

    Trash fish silver lining

    Europeans love carp as well. I think they pickle it first, just like herring. Was in Quebec when I caught my first ling, didn't know what it was. Asked at the bait shop and they identified it. He said first Asian family that opened restaurant in area went to all the shanties on the ice and asked...
