It's really silly how few trucks you see with 8 foot beds anymore. Half of the stuff built now has a shorter bed than one of my S10s (6-7ft), and loading sheet lumber in a shorter bed really really sucks (you've either got to leav

I've never heard a good, convincing explanation as to why on earth children need iPads for any reason. Are the schools just not doing their jobs, and letting the iPads "teach" the children rather than a person doing it?

I think that's one of the biggest screwups people make with WD-40 is that it's basically just a petroleum solvent and other than maybe initially unsticking things, it often makes the problem worse. As far as solvents go it's

I agree, this is literally what LORAN was/is for navigation (and we can and should build a better LORAN), and for time distribution WWVB and WWV already exist.

It's honestly as stupid as that HFT shop that was trying to grab a bunch of shortwave bandwidth for god knows what sort of shenanigans instead of just building microwave towers or doing something else mildly more intelligent.

So basically they want the FCC to punish a bunch of ISM and Ham users by taking that spectrum more or less for themselves?

Are you sure you're not confusing the 60* V6 family that was around in GM vehicles in the 80s (the 2.8, 3.1, and 3.4 and their predecessor engines) with the Buick 90* V6 (of which the 3800 was a part of and dated back to way before I w

This is basically the story of GM for the last 40-50 years as a whole. The engineers will do or propose something brilliant and really great, and then management repeatedly snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Saturn was another extrem

Even bubba's pissin hot 3.5 inch magnum birdshot isn't going to reach above 300-400ft in altitude and its going to be extremely inaccurate if it gets there at all. I think most drones are typically flying above this.

Sure, maybe a little more trackage around Denver, but don't you remember all the controversy how the space and money to run light rail along 36 went away and we wound up with just a new express lane in its place? Maybe Jared will actua

Widening I-25 probably won't do any good (didn't do much good last time we did that), but we keep talking about light rail all the way as far north as Fort Collins, and nothing ever happens other than RTD making money earmarked fo

Good, I don't see any good reason for kids to have smartphones in school. If someone needs to get a hold of the kid, the old fashioned way of just calling the school still works just fine.

It's huge shame Pascal basically stopped building those boards since AMD and Intel wouldn't play ball. I'd really like to have something like an APU with 10G connectivity with an x86 processor that was not built and designed

This is one of the reasons I disliked Tesla from the outset. Other manufacturers have various levels of challenge on repairs, but from the very moment they released the model S, they have been extremely aggressive at making any sort of thir

It would be really nice if the FCC hadn't actively tried to kill low power FM and had promoted more low power AM, in conjunction with the FTC or whomever breaking up the big broadcast monopolies. I think mandating AM receivers should c

One of the most aggravating and rather stupid things in my opinion about newer cars, is if you wanted to install a different or new head unit, it has gotten way more complex. I really miss just being able to buy a regular single-DIN or doub

As someone who listens but doesn't transmit, some of the most fun is actually chasing shortwave pirates around 6.950 MHz. There are a lot of fun radio shows that people put on, and I guess the FCC doesn't seem to care too much wha
