Anyone still in town tomorrow, feel free to show up at Cranky Pat's at 100 N Main sometime between 4ish and 7ish PM. Your first beer's on me.

I question these. The poster has disallowed commentary and /or questions of the videos and if you look at the times, while it's hard to match to an actual countdown, the two are several seconds apart in their acknowledgement of an unusual event, while both are dependent on human reaction to...

"The Rules" can be found by clicking on the "Guidelines" link at the bottom of any page on TRF.

I'd think that in Waupaca you'd have appreciated it after the storms earlier this month. ;)

I'd go but it's too far away. ;)

Mostly sugar cane, but there's not enough land in the world suitable for growing enough sugar cane to even come close to meeting demand. Biodiesel is currently more expensive to produce than gasoline. Just like corn ethanol, though, the issue becomes one where there is simply not enough...

It has nothing to do with the corn belt. It has to do with the popular opinion that ethanol is "green" and "emissions free".

Oh, if you're counting water landings, I can add the 38mm Binder Design Sentinel to the list. I did get that one back, though.

24mm - Apogee Aspire. Even an E-9 will send it into orbit. 29mm - I had an AT Mustang that I had built for the first TRF get-together. Since PGerringer had such an affinity for the Mustang, I had to paint it in a cow print (dubbing it the "MooStang") to make sure it wouldn't walk off with him...

Those are not regulation PDGA discs then. I frisbee golf from time to time (not seriously), but metal is illegal (only plastic is allowable) and weights don't get anywhere near a pound (max weight is 200g). We used to play with a blind guy and we'd try to keep his discs on the fairway for him...

My $0.02 is with Don and Jim Flis. Unless your field has mitigating circumstances, catching a rocket under chute is no big deal. I think you'll find with a little research that the incident ratio of ER visits to participants in a given activity will show you that letting your kid play soccer...

Nope. True Completely false. Approximately 20% to 45% of the resources that go into producing a gallon of ethanol are renewable. In fact, David Pimentel, an ecology professor at Cornell who's been studying grain alcohol for 20 years co-wrote a recent report that estimates that...

I'm going to respectfully disagree on the virus side in particular. Antivirus is kiddie stuff now and it's just a matter of how quickly the companies respond to zero day attacks. AVG and AVAST are both usually among the slowest to correct for new viruses, falling well behind McAfee, Norton...

Rarer. Easier to write. Not worth the trouble since they don't garner the attention for the grandstanders or get the numbers for the DNS folks. Just like Firefox had more security flaws exposed in 2007 than IE did, once Linux reaches critical mass, you'll see the potential security risks of...

This.

Here is a flowchart to help you when deciding which game system to buy: ;):D:surprised:

PCI video card that, while not top of the line anymore, will smoke your onboard video...$52.99 shipped: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130289

It appears both supporters and detractors have had their say. This thread was starting to go into both politics and personal attack, so it's being closed.
