    Chicago/Mid-West people, the words/rant of a southern man..

    I'm from Macon County TN. (Lafayette/Red Boiling Springs). Its one of the largest counties, and has one of the fewest populations in TN. I love it there. Growing up, I couldn't wait to leave. I worked as a service contractor the first few years after graduating, and was always traveling. I hated...

    General Motors, Do They Deserve Failure?

    BrianSD_42 Thank you for the post. I had never heard of the NUUMI plant, or This American Life before you posted that. I love intellectual reporting that really makes me think, and there is so little of it happening today. After listening to the NUUMI report, I downloaded the entire first 500...

    General Motors, Do They Deserve Failure?

    There is a reason Consumer Reports, (and any other honest reporting agency thats not in the Auto Union's pocket) consistently rate US cars as "unreliable". Hell the last time I checked, something like 18 of the 25 most unreliable vehicles of the last 25 years were domestic, and this is repeated...

    Computer Care

    Both Chuckles and BrianSD are giving you excellent advice if you absolutely MUST use MS Windows. I am a Cyber-Intelligence Analyst by trade. I cannot stress enough how unsecure MS Windows is. If at all possible, switch to OSX or Linux as soon as possible. Both OSs are very easy for anyone to...

    Cut the cord: Whole house digital antenna

    I downloaded the DIY HD antenna template Lifehacker.com posted awhile back. It is just aluminum foil and posterboard. I cut it with an x-acto knife, used the old type antenna connector-to-coax adapter, and 2 small screws. I'm in San Antonio and get 32 HD channels with it.

    Cut the cord: Whole house digital antenna

    I haven't had cable tv in over 10 years. I either download all my stuff or watch it OTA. My house in VA had an old, huge antenna froim the 80s in the attic. I ran new wires, plugged it into my tv and had almost 50 HD channels. You guys on Cable and Satellite don't know what real HD is...

    Very sad news:'99 4Runner carjacked; owner found dead

    I'm so glad I'm out of VA now. Most ghetto state I ever lived in. A true shithole.

    Want to find .22LR ammo? Let me help!

    The website I listed only tracks Walmart ammo shipments. Nothing else.

    Want to find .22LR ammo? Let me help!

    Ok guys, I'm getting tired of seeing the same guys selling 22 ammo online and at the gun shows for 50-100$ a damn box. They are hurting the shooting industry and us shooters with their price gouging. I understand this is a Capitalist country, and they are free to make money as they please. The...

    Thoughts on joining the military

    I wish the little "like" button was a "buy you a beer" button. I cannot agree with you more! You are spot-on on everything you said. (I was up with my daughter at 1am last night typing my previous reply on my iphone, and it looks like some illiterate rambling). The SF community is "military...
