Less often used equipment/vehicles (say, boats or weekend motorcycles) are often put on battery tenders when not in use, to keep the battery fresh for when you do want to use it. Just yesterday my FIL was relating how he put his motorc

I hate the argument that it would be too hard on the merchant to post proper price tags, there are too many different taxes to account for and so on. Wait a minute, the register/POS figures it out just fine...

I know for certain I've discharged static electricity by touching metal of my car after getting in/out, or cleaning out trash, etc while the pump runs. Would that little spark be enough to ignite the vapors? I have no earthly idea

I do this as much as possible and it generally works fairly well. Less so now that the power company cut down a tree that helped shade my roof, but I can usually make it into mid-afternoon before having to kick the AC on during the summer h

Funny, a few years ago a friend of my dad's was drinking his morning coffee and saw a beautiful elk on his lawn just munching away happily. It was a couple days into the season, and he owned a large piece of rural land. So he filled hi

Back in the day membership to a card-lock station chain (Pacific Pride, CFN) was the best option, it was an end-run around the law since membership supposedly ensured you were 'competent' to safely pump your own gas, and the stati

Word of mouth is the best way I've found, honestly. I'll shill for OrnaRPG. Its a gps linked game ala PokemonGo, but you pick a class and level up by fighting slimes, elves, golems, thieves, and whatever else you come across on yo

Also, one time after a sleep over my dad came out of the master fresh from his shower to go fetch clean clothes from the dryer, wearing not a thread. My friend was eating cereal at the table and blew it everywhere upon the sight. Good times

I'm still frustrated I hit a hard crash to desktop problem in my late-game save and never ended up beating Arcanum. One of these days I'll get around to actually pushing over the early-game hump in the fan patch, I've had sev

In the past, I could just ignore the CD in the motherboard box with all the crapware. In the more recent past, I didn't have a CD drive to even put it into. Now, that junk is preloaded onto the motherboard? Argh. At least I can still o

Fair, that was a knee-jerk reaction on my own part and I'll own that; that has just been my exposure and experience to questions in that vein so far in my life. In any case, the 'Freedom Auditor' concept mentioned in your ini

I can't honestly see how there is grey area, you're at a border checkpoint: show some form of identification either way? There is no requirement for an agent to assume your nationality and let you through, no? You still need to sh
