I"m curious about solar panel systems and if anyone thinks they will be affected by an EMP. Not the panels themselves, but the inverter/charger and other components that actually make the power useable. Would this equipment be affected? If so, does that mean off-grid folks that think they are...
One of the decisions their "new" CEO made starting in 05 or 06 was a move towards Metal Injection Molding (MIM) many of their metal parts. He did the same thing at Kimber. It is less expensive to produce metal parts this way, and it's purely a cost saving move. AND it's an inferior process...
I'll second the vote on "Lucifer's Hammer" and I'll also add "Alas, Babylon". Both are in the same vein as those you already read, so you should enjoy these too.
We've had egg-layers for several years (Rhode Island Reds, Silver Laced and Golden Laced Wyandottes). Any of the breeds already listed would do well here in Indiana. Make sure you go with breeds that are cold weather tolerant. Pay very close attention to the coop, making sure it is secure, or...
Both are worth watching, and I enjoyed both. I like the new one better, but I didn't like the ending either. That's my only complaint. I'm a huge John Wayne fan, but Jeff Bridges was great in this role. I hope he wins Best Actor for this!
Many good comments by lots of folks. I have a question though...
"Dredd, have you learned anything, or at least received a satisfactory answer to your question?"
I'd like to hear from you again.
And the day after the election (today), the FED announced a plan to buy $600 billion in US bonds over the next 6 months.
No change, just more debt. There is nothing new other than a few new faces in DC. When they arrive, my bet is that they'll be "told" how things work there.
I'm looking for a pump action .22 rifle and would like some recommendations. I've never owned a pump action .22, so I don't know what to look for. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
I have a Generac 25kw standby generator that runs on NG. The Cummins / Onan were way too expensive. Another brand to consider is Kohler. They have great reviews, but were hard to find locally.
We went with the Generac because of price and availability of both the genset and the...
I believe this topic has been discussed on this forum before. The initiative is through AAP - The American Academy of Pediatrics. It's been an official recommendation of the Academy for years. They even provide pediatricians forms and tear-off questionaires to help ask these questions. Just...
I've heard the same thing re: the "Hoarding" law. But it wasn't a bill, it was an Executive Order, and it would go into effect in the event of a "national emergency".
It's the Presidential Executive Order's that pose the greatest risk, as they are often signed without publicity or media...
I've asked people about this, and a typical response is "No way this will ever pass". Well, what do you think the general public said in 1932 when told that it may become illegal to own gold? No chance that would ever pass, right? (And yes, I know it was not a bill, it was an executive order)...
Been there many times on business. It's a good sized town, the second largest city in Michigan (2nd to Detroit). It's the Conservative stronghold part of Michigan, home of Gerald Ford and the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum. It's also home to the founders of Amway, who also built the Amway...
