    Property Tax Increase

    This is an example of what's taking place in rural Burleigh county. I clipped the not useful info out to not muddy the waters. As you can see, the "Legislative Tax Relief" is still in effect this year. On this one it's $2629.14 for 2017. That's going to be painful when the legislative buy...

    Radon gas

    As a geologist with no medical background, but a fair bit of understanding of radiation from my time in the Corps, all I can say is that YES, this is that big of a deal. The link to lung cancer is not trivial, I think the article about the Casselton lady suggested around 15,000-20,000 lung...

    The Official Wentz Wagon Thread

    Well crap. I had/have $40 hanging in the local watering hole saying that Philly wouldn't win the Stupid Bowl this year. It feels a little safer today.

    Radon gas

    slicktrick, Sunlight does not "dissolve" radon. Radon is one of the products of radioactive decay from both uranium and thorium. It is also a noble gas which means it doesn't really like to react with much else. Radon is itself radioactive as it emits alpha radiation. Alpha waves are short...

    You can get plenty of radon in a house that's built slab on grade.

    Radon gas

    I would strongly encourage everyone to get their homes tested for Radon. It's just a no brainer. And as things change over time, such as new cracks in foundation, etc. It's never a bad idea to retest every 10 years or so. If I were to be building a new home, I'd just have the collection...

    Front Grill/headlight/bumper guard

    If you are going to keep it for more than 4-5 years, make sure you get either a chrome or SS one. The black ones with powder coated paint only last about 4-5 years before they look like hell.

    Savage ML can be dangerous

    "...Martin Crimp, a Michigan State University metals expert who examined a 10ML-II that exploded and caused a hunter to lose multiple fingers in 2009, told the AP the barrel of that gun was "metallurgically defective." You can design them as tough as you want, but when you use a parts supplier...

    December 7th 1941

    Having been to both Pearl Harbor and the Normandy Beach area of France, I am very comfortable saying that the carnage of WWII is just something we young'uns can't grasp. Nor can we fully fathom what it meant to be a member of our military back then. For heaven's sake, they didn't even have a...

    Bitcoin

    remm is correct, I saw an article a few days ago where the IRS was going after some bitcoin exchange in order to get the info needed to tax some 20,000 (?) people who were buying and selling through that particular exchange. It is absolutely taxable under current laws as far as I know.

    Bitcoin

    Seems more like every other week. There have been several over the past year where millions of bitcoins have been swiped, electronically. This isn't for the faint of heart.
