    Midnight forum outages

    I'm on it! :D Now let's see, if they double the subscrption fee, that will be zero times two... carry the zero... dang, I suck at math. I'm willing to pay anything up to 3 times the regular rate, though.

    Has anyone tried using LiPol Batteries?

    I have read reports of odd mouse behavior from people using PTs on their laptops, and it reminds me of how my touchpad malfunctioned when I plugged it into a cheap DC to AC power inverter. I don't understand the connection between power source, USB power drain, and pointing devices, but it...

    Midnight forum outages

    Can we build our own server to save money? I have an old Commodore 128-D and a cell phone I don't use anymore... been meaning to learn how to solder and figure out that Linux stuff, too. I assume I can ask Elendil if I need any help, right?

    Should We or Shouldn't We Concerning - Suppliers?

    Aw shucks, jj2! You're making me blush! Now I have to try not to say anything goofy for a few minutes...

    Should We or Shouldn't We Concerning - Suppliers?

    I think that's a big part of the reason. Most people try to be fair-minded about things, and I would want to be very sure of my position before saying something that could do actual harm to somebody's business. I'm actually surprised at the general level of restraint around here. There is...

    I'm so happy

    Something tells me he's not going to notice the color of the bow. :)

    What's your Plan A for a Zombie Outbreak?

    [pointedly ignoring lorikay's inability to recognize awesome great ape-edness when she sees it] The Google Maps joke made me think about some of the things we would have to do without, but also made me realize that my GPS will still work. One less thing to worry about. :) A really nice...

    Should We or Shouldn't We Concerning - Suppliers?

    I see negative stuff around here all the time.

    Stacking pennies in a battery charger

    If you want a valid opinion with more detail, this looks like a legit question for the "Ask the Experts" forum. In case nobody answers here: I've read a few threads where people used this type of set up, and have a vague memory of them. It should work with no problem, but the pennies add...

    New! Thinking about blusig, advise?

    Never heard of Blusig, but I think you mean "blu". I haven't tried them, but I've read a lot of negative posts about the blu. There are a lot more popular models among forum members, and there is a search function in the top-right corner of each page. Here is a search I did for "Is the blu any...

    What's your Plan A for a Zombie Outbreak?

    Sorry: I was half-zomified myself from insomnia when I read your post. For some reason I thought you were implying the opposite: That he hadn't really thought things through, and it would be more difficult than he imagined to make the hard choices. I plead temporary stupidity.

    Sneaky... Who would ever think to look for WMDs buried in the sand? Wait...

    What's your Plan A for a Zombie Outbreak?

    (Perhaps not very) interesting story: I was playing a game of Civilization Revolution with a friend of mine, and Abe Lincoln was trying to trade some lame technology to me for the secret of "Democracy" (a valuable tech that makes a civ more dangerous to other players). I looked at my friend...

    What's your Plan A for a Zombie Outbreak?

    Hey shoe! I figured you for more of a "Take over what's left of the world" kinda guy, what with that sinister 'stache and all...

    What's your Plan A for a Zombie Outbreak?

    Careful, whynot! You seem to be assuming some things about mutt that you couldn't possibly know. He looks like he's been around the block a few times, so it's quite possible he has experienced some difficult situations, made hard choices, and given it some serious thought afterwards. Also...

    What's your Plan A for a Zombie Outbreak?

    I know this stuff is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but there is also a serious facet to the idea of planning for catastrophe as mutt has just referred to. I don't think it's at all weird or disturbing to consider what you would do in some sort of apocolyptic scenario: I have relatives who went...

    Blood Pressure and PV's

    Went to the doc on Mon for my physical, and got a surprise: Weight down, BP normal. This time I didn't vape for about 30 mins before the test, or drink coffee, and I stopped adding salt to my food since that last visit. Too many changes to tell what's helping, so I just assume it's a little of...

    Looking for Advice

    I would like to add one thing to these really good suggestions: the flavor, performance, vapor-production, and even the way they feel in your throat can vary quite a bit from one product to the next (I mean both the hardware and the liquid). Just something to keep in mind, if your first...

    Newbie Question Please Help

    As salemgold said, MFS's Winston tastes very close to me. Just be aware that since nothing is being burned, no e-liquid will taste exactly like an actual cigarette. You might be surprised at some of the flavors you will like, though. I had to have menthol at first, but after a couple of months I...

    Did the 901 I3 Atties come in the recent shipment?

    Ha! This reminds me of a gag image, but I'd get banned for posting it. :D
