I'm waiting until we have the billion dollar jackpot next Wednesday.

I always hate the fact that I have to be asked audibly if my card is credit or debit. What the heck is that all about? The pin pad communicates with the cash register well enough to display the...

You also might get a cavity search from aliens. They must not realize there are many thousands thousands of fireworks stores and sporting goods stores that the FBI would want to speak to before some...

Well, it IS solid rocket fuel. I can't fathom how there would be any question as to why it makes a big flame.

Even our Estes engines make a decent sized flame. Watch a liftoff video frame by...

Boston is a little further north. A week and a half ago, I didn't have any dandelions either.

I have to admit, I'm pretty stoked. This is a great victory for the good guys. It's already setting...

Has anybody gone to Wallops to watch a launch? Do they have an observation area?

A public service announcement to Facebook, Twitter, chain email, etc:

Google is your friend. Random pics of little kids that you see claiming to be the 8 year old killed yesterday, are almost...

You can easily build or buy a rocket the same size (or much bigger) for far under $200. Rockets don't have to be expensive, but please don't cut up an aerosol can.

I agree with this, for the most part. I think some people are very prone to becoming addicted, and would have a great deal of trouble with just willpower. A lot of people just have a habit and not...

The news has really latched onto this one! In reality, it looks to me like all of these horror stories are from like a dozen people who got through on cell signals when other ships with wireless...

That is something that always happens naturally, I guess. The rocket usually ends up "under." With a rod, you 'd have to take some kind of unusual measures to keep it "above," and I've never done...

My wife and I have a joint account. It's a pretty useful tool to keep up with little developments in everybody's life- things that I probably would not ever hear otherwise. Being stationed in...

So what you're saying is that you were surfing the web, at a site for something personal, like maybe Rogain. And you unintentionally clicked "Like," and you were automatically logged in to Facebook,...

That one sounds really good! Nice and simple the way I like. You also can't beat recipes that make great food and do not require exact amounts to come together and succeed. It's nice when...

It would be nice if people read far enough to keep all the basic questions in the beginners section. But I can see why these questions get asked over and over. The search, particularly on this...

That is an issue. It's not hard at all, but you have to be around at the "right" times (or at least pretty close.)

I try to remember not to start it after 7:00 in the evening. Otherwise, it gets...

The basic recipe I use is very versatile as well. Strip away all the fancy terms and little quirks, all bread recipes are NEARLY the same. The biggest difference is how wet the initial dough is,...

I'm really into cooking and baking things that are very simple. The pot roast I make, for example has fewer steps and less measuring than standard mac & cheese: Put a little water and a Lipton Onion...

Gee, thanks for clearing up what Tripoli is, my little LPR/MPR mind has been wondering about that for ages.

Security is not the answer. School security is effective to keep general miscreants at bay and is good for deterring abductions, but totally useless against an armed gunman- unless there were 4-5...

I think that talking and texting both have good uses, in various situations. I too, was late getting into the texting game, mostly because it's such an expensive message. The cell plan we had for...

:rofl: for this comment RIGHT after Fred's detailed lecture on the correct terminology.

Christmas tree farms, bro. They rule. I have one 30 minutes away. Nice tree, we get to really pick it out...out of a thousand growing around us, not propped up against a fence in a parking lot....

Aldi is a great place. They have very few "leading brands" but they have their store brand of almost everything you can think of. The price is MUCH lower, and the quality is good to superior than...

Just ignore the silly PC stuff and move along with something else, like- "The Mayans weren't so smart after all-Happy Solstice" launch. Also, thank your lucky stars they even consider letting you...

I agree to a certain extent. I'm sure in addition to public service, they also have a side goal of increasing viewership. In reality, like you said, we're going to get power out and trees down. ...

I gave this one to my son for Christmas because I saw it in Toys R Us as a starter kit for something like $12.00. Kind of challenging for a little kid, but l helped when needed. It worked very...

This would be just checking the continuity, that the bridge wire is not broken, and that the igniters are pretty close in resistance. The multi meter will do this with it's own power at your...

Are you talking about the kind of stuff you use to seal tabletops? It's got to be food safe.

I don't know all the applicable regulations and rules in UK schools, but I can't imagine that firing 3 rocket engines plus ejection charges would be welcome in ANY school. You could end up in a lot...
