    police visit my property because of my cameras

    My neighbor is a cop. He asked me if my cameras saw anything one night, because he had left a 6-pack of cola in his truck and it was gone. The thieves just happened to park directly across from my driveway, center frame of my camera. Unfortunately this was back when I only had 1 camera, and the...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    You've got it exactly backwards. Subsidies per generated TWh are much higher for wind and solar than fossil fuels. As I explained, the only reason I have solar is three unique but equally insane subsidies. It makes absolutely no sense, but my utility, the state government, and the federal...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    The only thing I know about the next POTUS is that it isn't Biden. Don't know how the party will explain that, but that's their problem.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Tonight, thousands of folks will become aware of Vivek. We've got a few great candidates this round, so I'm taking the white pill. As I always say though, we shouldn't care much who is in Washington. The fact that we do indicates the federal government is WAY bigger than it should be. This is...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    I mean exactly what I stated. Your examples of poor countries where hardly anyone lives and happen to have hydroelectric or geothermal resources are not evidence that large wealthy countries without those resources can just magic them into existence. The only place anyone would want to live in...

    Tesla Crashes Into Home

    I also drove a Volvo for a week with no primary brakes. Used the handbrake until I fixed the leak. Kids and very old folk seem to take risks that others don't.

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    Only the uninformed are duped by the so-called renewable industry. We don't need electricity intermittently, we need it based on our demand for use. Generation sources that are capable of producing based on demand are called "load following". In other words, electricity isn't valuable because it...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    No contest is nonsense. Plead guilty or not guilty. That's like someone pleading "non-binary". OK, so you live in your own fantasy land, and just because you hallucinate, we have to pretend to also hallucinate.

    House Explosion captured on Ring cam

    I've run black pipe in 3 houses now. I'm experienced in fixing my mistakes. None of them would have resulted in leaving a creator where my house once stood no matter how long the leak went undetected. Houses simply aren't sealed so tightly that a small leak will cause an explosion. My sense is...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    I'm a fan of EVs, for the applications in which they make sense. The right tool for the job. In a battery constrained market, hybrids and plug-ins are a better use of the limited battery supply. More bang for the buck. ICE will be around for decades. Peak oil is still about 15 years away. That...

    House Explosion captured on Ring cam

    My BBQ had a tiny leak outdoors, and I still was able to smell it. In fact, I sniffed each connector until I isolated the one that was leaking and then reapplied the pipe tape. Apparently reusing the existing tape isn't good enough. Lesson learned. Don't know what sort of leak it would take to...

    House Explosion captured on Ring cam

    I looked up video of other natural gas explosions, and they look similar to this. Didn't realize they were so devastating and created a fireball like that. One article mentioned a problem with a water heater, but if one ruptured, it would probably put a hole through something but not blow a...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Politicians have no other option but to blame global warming. Heck, if I were in charge of an area that was mismanaged and a fire took advantage of my foolishness, I'd be extremely tempted to shift blame on Gaia and all the pagans that haven't sacrificed to her. This is why 100% of disasters...

    Tesla Crashes Into Home

    I drove a '69 Beetle in high school. One time a pebble wedged into the gap in the throttle opening and when I let off, the car kept going. I made an unscheduled and unannounced left turn into a parking lot and did some circles until I could figure out what happened. Modern cars hang the throttle...

    Tesla Crashes Into Home

    There's zero chance the brakes "failed" along with a "stuck" throttle by wire. My mom was only 55 when she floored the Camry and sent it into the house, hitting the washing machine. She claimed her sandals caused her difficulty with the pedals, but I don't buy it. It's clear there was a car...

    House Explosion captured on Ring cam

    I've never seen such a thoroughly and instantly destroyed house. Meth lab? That was so destructive it seemed intentional.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    My state outlawed "disposable" plastic bags to save the environment. Now grocery stores use these thick "reusable" plastic bags that I weighed as being 14x heavier than the disposable ones. I used to reuse the "disposable" ones as trash can liners, but these thick ones are completely useless, so...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Why can't businesses sell things we want and STFU? Why do they try so hard to be hated? I don't even want them saying things I already know, like there are 2 genders, because a couple dopes selling ice-cream "affirming" that truth doesn't change it. People shouldn't boycott B&J because they are...

    Absolutely insane that Brits not only don't care about freedom of speech, but now the freedom of thought. Truly an empire in its last days. They stand for nothing and nobody, which is the entire point of a nation.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Interesting how lack of ability to maintain civility by a political party means you just give up. I wonder if the left would be as accepting of that solution if there were some angry folks on the right threatening molotov cocktails at a "family" drag-queen event? Are there really people who are...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    The mayor realizes Seattle is 70% white folks, right? That means 7 white officers out of every 10 would be representative. Anyhow, the systemically racist, anti-meritocratic, affirmative action policies and rhetoric are not being tolerated any longer. The only folks still hung up on skin color...

    F250 Hits my poles

    That meter is poorly placed. Not excusing people driving in the lawn, but I've not seen a worse placed meter before. I'll post my video from a couple days ago when the directional drilling company caused my sidewalk to heave 1/2" upwards causing a lip to my driveway that wasn't there before.

    How a pro runs wire without access

    I've got some "extra" holes from running various things. My most embarrassing one was thinking I was drilling into the space between the downstairs ceiling, and the upstairs floor. I knew something was wrong when I saw light coming through the hole. I hadn't considered there was a stairwell...
