  1.   Sorry, but the prevailing winds would have carried most of the fallout east of the test sites ...
  2. There is some adjustment in the slipjoints in the straight pipes, one or both may need cutting to a shorter length to do it.  If "push comes to shove", you can also buy a different trap with more "dip" in the S-bend, that would allow the trap to attach at a lower height to the drainpipe.
  3. OP's post simply stated a fact, that PSA had some 22 available.  For a lot of people, that's good info. As many have posted, that's the going rate for .22 ammo that is in stock and available to purchase immediately, if you aren't able to stalk the counters at Wally World, or watch for internet deals 24/7.  For what it's worth, I don't think this is going to change much for at least the next year, as basically all ammo producers are at full capacity trying to fill orders that are already months old, and new demand remains extraordinarily high.  There are many reasons for this, and most don't involve resellers of Wally ammo.
  4. I will probably wander by there at some point this weekend, as It's fairly close for me.

  7. Einstein had essentially nothing to do with the development of the atomic bomb.  He did send a letter to FDR advocating the research and construction, at the behest of scientists who had earlier made him aware of the possibility and knowing his status would immediately lead credence to their advocacy.  When these scientists first informed Einstein that such a weapon was even possible, his first statement was " I never thought of that".  However, he was astute enough to realize that if the Germans were able to build a bomb, it would mean destruction of the Allied forces, thus his agreement to notify FDR despite his longtime belief in pacifism.
  8.   One good thing about the war on guns, I'm betting it will be about as successful as the "war on drugs" has been...
  9. Best wishes Tanker, take care of yourself.  You're right, getting older sucks, but it damn sure beats the alternative!
  10. Guns, like cars and many other things, go through a period of depreciation, then appreciation as the vagaries of time make then rarer or more desirable.  Even in the relatively short span of time you mentioned, some firearms have achieved collectible status, as many of these items have disappeared over the years, the law of supply and demand has increased prices.  You are the ultimate arbiter of the amount you are willing to spend to get the gun you want, and guns that can be traded or sold easily tend to bring higher premiums over the less desirable ones. 
  11.  I know how you feel.  Both lungs in 2009, right lung again in 2011.  Take care of yourself, I learned the hard way how insidious this disease really is.
  12. Oh, and since we are comparing worn out trucks, my 97 Dodge has 322k, and counting ...
  13.    Well, they were right.  They make them a lot better now.  There are cars on the road today that make 300 hp, get 30 mpg, and will last over half a million miles if serviced right.
  14.   So kids currently in public schools have a less than significant chance of achieving those goals?  By significant, I would guess that you mean in excess of a 50% probability then.  If so, wouldn't a necessary corollary to your argument be that more than half of recent graduates, say over the last 20 years or so, are not "functioning, moral, literate adults"?  Is that what you are saying?  I don't mean to be so obtuse, but after all I am a public school product. :)
  15.   Doesn't matter.  It's evolution in action ...
  16.   Yeah, but back then we had to send real people to see if they had beer there.  Now, we send the little rovers that can run around looking for years ...
  17.   I bet if schools ever start giving abortions to kids, they will require a note for that too...
  18. But isn't that the normal course for these (and other) threads?
  19. I was halfway through the rant before I figured it out.
  20.   Well, if they don't have any of those things there, who wants to go anyway...
  21.   Good info, but it may reflect more on the differences in tire circumference between brands more so than speedometer inaccuracies.  Even tires of the same rated sizes will vary some between brands, and tire wear will obviously affect circumference as well.  A tire with a smaller circumference will travel slightly less at a specific number of revolutions which will in turn make the speedometer and odometer run a little faster than one with tires precisely calibrated to the vehicle when new.  Speedometer calibration is done in a specific rpm range, to reflect the range that most people drive in, usually something close to highway speeds,  Lower (or higher) speeds won't necessarily indicate correctly, although they are required to remain within certain limits through all legal speeds.  Most testing is usually done over a "flying" distance at speed, using radar, a test done from a dead stop will tend to be less accurate, as you correctly pointed out in your post.  Assuming your test was accurate, the variances of 100-300 ft./mile would account for between 1800-5600 miles less than indicated, over a 100k mile total.
  22.   The conversation?  "This crap is starting to get old"?  I suppose it depends on how many DOJ letters one reads to form an opinion about your statement.  I don't read any, generally...
  23.   Wow, this place has really good prices on guns.  I need to check this store out, at least after they get some new inventory in...
  24. Better question, cash or charge at Target...
  25. There must be really good money in Christmas trees, considering the per hour operating cost of choppers...
