"Does it blend" works well for Laptop Hard drives, and you can add empty beer cans to suite your taste. Larger drives make unique targets for sighting in the 30-30. If you don't own a gun (convicted felon, wimp, ,,,) you can fashion it as a ground strap on your car and take a road trip

Comment When the grid pukes (Score 1) 695

in 25 years with a standby generator learned a few things. run the gen every month for an hour change the oil twice a year (regardless of use) change the gas (drain and refill) every 6 months A small metal garden shed with ventilation (box fan & turbine) keeps the weather out, and insulation will cut down on the noise. Changeover can be low tech with a breaker in the same location as the main shutoff will work ok (you will only experiance a mistake here only once with either a line man kicking the crap out of you or the sight of a full 5 gallon plastic gas tank melting)

I am glad to see that the human race has evolved to more scientifically correct fears of doom. Personally I was tired of the old Apocalypse, and the simple fears like the second coming, Satan, Iraq,, etc. Being raised in a religious family with fear of hell (and allot of other crap) governing your daily actions, I realized that I was going to hell at an early age, the end lost importance, because hell is a dry heat. So it doesn't matter about doomsday because it was around for a long time and will always be here. What we need to do is: Pay your taxes, to continue space technology (The government needs to survive doomsday) Put an extra 20 in the collection box (to save your soul and and keep fuel in the Lear jet Wear a tinfoil hat Or maybe just put a paper sack over your head

personnaly I don't talk on the phone when I'm drinking, and when I drink I can't see, so I dont drive drinking. I have abandoned using cabs after getting beatup (by cab drivers) and also being ejected in alien neighborhoods (land of no honkeys), so drinking in cabs is out also. hang up and drive
