Be VERY careful basing anything on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an open source "online encyclopedia" that can be hacked or edited by anyone. They have been caught editing whole articles or deleting articles they wish to censor. Here are a couple articles that point out the pitfalls...

Pretty damning claim. Any evidence to support it? Zero Hedge is a widely quoted business and news site. I did some searches and one source points at three people behind Zero Hedge. Zero Hedge denies one of the individuals is even associated with them. The Hungarian trader you cited is not...

"Oh my..." Greta Thunberg threatens to put leaders "against the wall" if they do not stop climate change... https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/greta-threatens-put-world-leaders-against-wall-if-they-refuse-fight-climate-change Update: Greta apologizes...

I wrote my congressmen and the president an e-mail letter. Within a month, my e-mails increased by 600% or more. Don't know if the government sells that data or if they have bots that get those addresses somehow. I know it's a great fund-raising tool and the parties share e-mails to all members...

Awesome! I am blown away by how long they run on a charge...

In a prior life, one of my co-workers used to say... We get more done before 7 A.M than most people get done all day.

Problem is... -If the data is consistently manipulated to support one side of the argument but NEVER the other. Like the NOA data was caught doing or the historical data only starts at the beginning of a natural trend or the folks in England get caught fudging the data... I could go on but you...

This is the tank. 1500 or 2500 gal, I forget. Our grade tanks sit about two feet under ground. I built a shack to protect the equipment. The boss ordered that it "shall not be visible from the street" so I hid it in bushes and made it shorter than 6' tall. Rather than spend big bucks...

Len, Thistles? Javelina eat prickly pear cactus, stickers and all. I transplanted a bunch of cuttings and they made it through summer only to be ravaged by the piggies. And the rabbits. I had to make fence-wire cages and place around them to keep the local critters off 'em. Between the wildlife...

Bill, We do have a fair amount of drip going but our service handles both the house and the barn too. It's seasonal with almost no use during winter. With nearly 7 inches of rain this month, my watering system has been off since mid November. Summer is when we use up the most. And summer doing...

The firefighting loss was because a huge wing crack went unnoticed until they hit turbulence in and around the fire drop. As you could see in the video, both wings departed the aircraft. You can only bend metal so many times before it breaks. Many countries operate older 130's that have come...

DOH! Sean... my bad... Gallons/minutes... it's all so complicated! 1 gal per min. (We were told it may double as the rock cleans out from the sand and small bits. My filters seem to be running much cleaner after six years.) 60 gal an hour 1440 a day Average water bill on town water was...

Good picture showing why the C-130 is not quite the "truck" everyone thinks it is. These guys are super lucky they made it back. The engine usually fails up and over the wing resulting in loss of the leading edge and most of the lift on that side...

Know what is often found in gypsum formations? URANIUM! Remember the Chinese drywall board that was making people sick a couple decades ago? It had other toxins in it but part of the issue was it was fairly radioactive. My lot was platted before people understood radon gas. 80% of the lot was...

Mine is 580' deep. My neighbor who drilled the week before me is 800'. Our static started off at 60 and has dropped to 110. We both get 1 gph. We had 1500 gal sub grade tanks installed that will run the house for days, if needed. The well pump runs maybe twice a day. The pressure pump in the...

6.7 inches of rain in the last three weeks here in the desert. That would equate to about 6 feet of snow if it were cold enough. We had pretty messy erosion on the road up to my neighborhood and I used my tractor to clean up the roadside and mail box pull out, thinking the rain was over. Nope...

Times a thousand. And someone commented on how our "edjumication" system has dumbed down our kids so much with Common Core... How'd that happen? https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/12/obama_gave_commoncore_contract_to_publisher_got_65_million_book_deal_in_return.html

One of the aircraft lost control on landing and stuck the blade in that tree. If my foggy memory serves me, the two guys to the right of my dad may have been the pilots. Amazingly, the NAVY flew a few B-26 Marauders they got from the ARMY as recon planes because they could outrun the...

Who is in the second tier? 11-20?
