    U.A.W strike?

    Tikka, you are correct. Those that yearn for the "good old days" should realize that once upon a time when the middle class was growing, unions were much more prevalent, CEOs made 30 times the average worker pay not hundreds. Corporations used every downturn in the economy to wheedle...

    A Bit Much For Whitetail

    Interesting weapon, still a way off before it can be deployed. They nixed it for Zumwalt class ships due to high cost of projectiles.

    Big city crime

    WSLAYER is partially correct, crime rates are up. Red States have been more deadly due to higher murder rates according to FBI. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/myths-and-realities-understanding-recent-trends-violent-crime...

    Highway 23 n 83

    Put 23 on an over pass, less work, and would not need to bring the 83 lanes together.

    Does diet coke cause cancer

    years ago a study reported mustard caused cancer. Rats were fed a tablespoon of mustard a day for three years and saw an increased risk of cancer. It equated to a human consuming several hundred gallons of mustard a day. ND is correct, moderation in all things.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Trinity and Beyond (1995), excellent documentary that covers the United States atomic program. Spoiler, at the end it details who and how many nuclear tests were conducted up to that point.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    Lunk, if you look at the timeline of how the country ramped up for production of the atomic bombs in Idaho, Tennessee, and Los Alamos, I would venture the Russians slipped through the cracks. There was a good book written about the creation of the Los Alamos labs. The title was the address of...

    Hail destroys solar farm.

    WD, Current climate change due to human causes has been known for over a hundred years. This is nothing new. The green house effect was understood before the industrial revolution. When coal began its slow rise people understood how the increase of carbon dioxide would effect climate. Again...

    Hail destroys solar farm.

    Wally, solar decreased the impacts of the storm. Natural gas supplies were curtailed two days before blackouts began. BTW natural gas industry was able to charge emergency rates for supplies and reaped hefty profits because of their negligence to prepare after previous storm. Nice read if you...

    Hail destroys solar farm.

    JMF, it was the coal and natural gas facilities that failed during the polar vortex. They were down for extended periods due to not receiving recommended upgrades to prevent failure after the previous arctic outbreak. Wind was back online within days as ice melted. These have blades do not have...

    Live well leak

    Mr Pike, had the same issue when I converted live well to built in cooler. Plugged live well and filled with water, no leak. Plugged through hull drain and removed well plug. After a couple minutes the water started dripping out of the bilge drain hole. Guess I am pulling the deck this winter. I...

    Hail destroys solar farm.

    Wally, on the topic of large solar plants, Texas avoided reaching crises levels with solar outproducing coal plants during the recent heat dome event. I believe solar accounted for 20% of electricity produced on their grid.

    Ive got a theory---

    Snow, I would look at upper level air flows, temperature inversions etc. Aviation weather maps will give better insight to what is happening at different altitudes. Train derailment was in proximity to Ohio River Valley. That impacts how far the pollution would travel. Look at old images of poor...

    Trolling Motor Batteries

    I have used AGM batteries for twenty years. Retired the first one after 15 years. I do not fish tournys and do not go out every weekend. If your batteries are up front and take a pounding I would recommend giving this type a look. 15 year old was an optima blue top. No acid leaks as they are...

    SLE, You said it at the end, if the modifications are disclosed to the insurance carrier prior to incident. That would cover your investment. I do not know how the lawyer/insurance carrier for anyone injured would argue how any modifications to your vessel caused or exacerbated the accident...

    As Allen stated, if there is ever an incident and it is discovered the engine is no longer in original condition, expect legal troubles and no coverage by your insurer. As to the Geico Pig... WWWHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
