    Gunshots outside my house - On the news

    Were they the same cars in the two incidents? Tough to tell with the ring camera.

    Holy Shit! Pyramid discovery

    I'm not buying it. That first video had an awful lot of verbiage to say nothing! If ground penetrating radar can go 100 feet, how can an instrument on a satellite go a mile down? why not bring that type of instrument do Giza and use it on the ground? I'm not saying that the Egyptian government...

    Doorbell cam bird feeder?

    This just came across my feed. https://mybirdbuddy.com/product/smart-hummingbird-feeder/? This looks suspiciously like a doorbell camera! Then one showed up on Amazon as a lightning deal for $60. Not buying one but it does look like a neat project.

    Looks like nobody's exempt from this!

    UTV

    I liked the look of that intimidator. Liked the 8 ply tires. With mesquite, flats are a way of life. It seems difficult to find anything greater than 6 ply. I fought flats on my tractor until I went with gensco tires. It does mention that it has a metal skid plate so I guess the rest is...

    It's windy in Lubbock

    @StevenFromTexas How did you manage in yesterdays windstorm. I know Canyon is getting all the air time but you are just south of there.

    The official "WTF" thread

    My current home is built with ICFs. We built it in 1999 and have 70 yards (?, I forget) of concrete in the walls. Probably build with them again next year. Builders try to stick with old inefficient technologies and jack up prices on something like this to discourage you from asking anything...

    Nudist colonies in Pasco County Florida use $2 bills as a publicity stunt from time to time. https://www.tampabay.com/archive/2007/03/02/2-bills-will-reveal-nudists-clout/

    GROK-3

    I just got done chatting with chatgpt and it just regurgitated an article I had just read, so not very useful. Awhile back I asked MS copilot if a blue Lacey was an akc recognized breed and it proceeded to ask me if I had a blue lacey, was I thinking of getting a blue lacey, what kind of dogs I...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    I put brillo pad in my intake neck for the dobbers. Even though the air filter would keep it out of the carb, there was so much dirt in the cover it made me nervous. Little buggers still packed my muffler and made the engine run like hell. I don't hate dirt dobbers but they sure play havoc on...

    The official "WTF" thread

    February 20th must be a common date for Norton. My legitimate subscription just renewed today. The official letter and renewal notice does not look anything like this. I also got an invoice for $250 for a different renewal from qwer fvea <qwerfvea@gmail.com>

    Arctic Blast is here...

    I have a friend that runs solar out in the Big Bend region. He said that during Snowmageddon, the snow was translucent enough that they produced enough power for the current to melt the snow pretty early, then they were in full production. They were actually contributing to the grid. He said the...

    Emergency Power/Storms/Prepping etc

    Quick check shows about $7,000 new! I'm guessing the 2023/02 is a production date which means it is only 2 years old. $250 is a steal! Something that does pique my interest is that it is rated at 3600 rpm for a diesel engine. I tend to think of them as a lower rpm machine. 1800 rpm with a 4 pole...

    Funny / Satire

    I use "Bueno" which is common in Spanish speaking countries. Only once has the telemarketer not hung up. Then I said "No entiendo!" and hung up on them. Probably a whole other department of scammers for the Spanish speaking world!
