CA is a big market, so harder to write off; Rhode Island is easy to write off. There are certainly differing opinions on what constitutes animal cruelty and is moral or immoral [e.g., killing and eating them]. So what is "right"

The federal minimum wage is only $7.25. By paying $10, they are paying 38% more than the minimum. Even at 9 they are 24% above the minimum. I expect that they would prefer a minimum wage exactly equal to what they pay as a minimum, becau

Long haul truckers also have a difficult job, and are squeezed by large shippers. People associate used glamour with flying, but I think that is because it was so expensive and most people were shut out. I think of a passenger airplane as

I visited BB-62 New Jersey this weekend, and they have an analog electromechanical rangekeeper computer. It's really cool to see the gears and shafts turn, as it continually updates its output (bearing, azimuth) in response to 14 inpu

If you don't cheat, but do something the casino doesn't approve of you are kicked out. If you actually cheat, and the casino decides it is worth it, you'll have the government come down on you too.

I've had very decent results with a DW735 and Ridgid JP601, which all in you would have for $1,200 today. I was fortunate in that I got them both on clearance for about $200 each. It is frustrating being limited to 6" boards, bu

I'm very curious what the pickup offering will be like, and compare to existing offerings from the big 3, since it is a "a new kind of pickup truck". I think the segment of the pickup market that is mostly an SUV, but occasio

Interestingly enough, when I used to drink Coke Classic, and tried a Mexican Coke which uses real sugar I did not like the taste compared to HFCS coke. Now I prefer Coke Zero, which tastes very similar, but when I would go back to Coke Cla

I find the beginning and end of the article quite contradictory. Basically that C++ is too complicated; and oh by the way we should start programming FPGAs, which are much harder to get right. I like modern C++, because I think it simplifi

People do commute to NYC; but it sucks from Poughkeepsie. The train is not 1 hour, it is 1 hour 45 minutes. You need to drive to the station and park, figure at least 15 minutes. That also assumes you're going to be working very clo

I bought a FLIR one for the iPhone; and it found an uninsulated section of wall in my house. The actual reason I purchased it was to help locate an under-slab leak. $250 to not break the wrong bit of concrete would be well worth it. For t

Compared to the energy you will use throughout your life, the energy used for a cremation is trivial (about a 5,000 mile drive). The alternative (burial) impacts the environment considerably as well. There is plenty of land devoted to ceme

The initial setup of the PC4212 is certainly fiddly and takes some test joints; but so does the panto router. Once it is dialed in for the particular thickness you're using; I find that I can cut as many joints as I want. I've n

Its a nifty machine, and he has some really interesting videos on his site (woodgears.ca); one of the fun ones is his experimentation making a better mouse trap. For the joints that he's making with the machine I'm a bit skeptical

CR didn't say the car wasn't good, they said it wasn't reliable. The car performed very well on their tests related to the road; so it is fun to drive, safe, comfortable, etc. The problem is that it breaks; and then you need
