You don't, they just cut off an hour at the beginning of the day and tack it on at the end. Sort of like making a bed longer by cutting off a foot at the head and attaching it to the foot.

Midgrade here was a mix of 2 parts regular and 1 part premium long ago when the mechanical pumps had readout dials on each pump to audit the sales. I would watch the gallons go up on each of the supply lines to get that ration. So the price was halfway between regular and premium for midgrade even though you were 1/3 premium instead of 1/2 premium.
If that's the case why not fill half the tank with premium and 1/2 with regular to get better octane or do 1/3 and 2/3's and save 17%?

Had a bit of a moment Friday night; my wife and I were getting home late after dinner with friends, and after opening the gate I saw a car had pulled in behind us- more than a little unexpected as our driveway is well hidden at the end of a dead end street- the nearest house is over a mile away. I immediately noticed a spotlight on the A pillar and relaxed. It turned out to be a new police officer who didn't know I lived back there. He apologized for bothering me and I told him I was just glad he's keeping tabs on my section of town.

Nope, bad idea. That would change the centrifugal force of the earth which in turn would lower the gravitational pull on our bodies. The skinny folks would be flung off into space and only unhealthy over weight folks would be left. Therefore, only unhealthy genes would be reproducing. The earth would never return to normal again.
Whew, I think I said that right.

Well lets see the earth rotates west to east so if we took everyone's car and face them east and all at once floor them maybe the combined force of all those tires pushing the earth west will slow down the rotation.

My first assistant's daughter is in her second semester of law school at Vandy. She keeps her mom and I up to date on the craziness in her class. Last week she told us of an incident in her criminal law class. The topic was adultery as a defense to murder. The professor explained how that defense had fallen from favor. One male student opined "Well, if I caught a guy in bed with my wife I'd definitely be reaching for my gun." My assistant's daughter laughed but immediately her phone stated blowing up with texts from other students whining about how the comment was "upsetting" and a text discussion ensued about whether to discuss the "incident" with the prof or the dean. My friend's daughter thought it was completely ridiculous. As for me, I wonder how those hand-wringing bedwetters expect to function in the real world.
I had a ball in law school-I did barely avoid getting kicked out for a fairly involved prank-but in today's snowflake accommodating environment I would have been sent to re-education camp weekly.

But eventually those cars, which accelerated eastward, would have to apply their brakes or allow friction to slow them to a stop. That force would be pulling on the ground causing the earth to once again accelerate to its initial rate of rotation.

No such thing as centrifugal force. It's momentum in a straight line for objects on the surface of the earth and gravity serves as a centripetal force pulling them toward the center of the earth due to their combined masses. This force keeps the objects from going in a straight line out into space as the world turns.
So far, knock on wood, I have had no reaction other than a slightly sore arm. That includes 2 Covid vaccines and the booster, and Shingrix, and assorted others. The strongest reaction, sorest arm, was a tetanus booster a couple of years ago.

I came home for lunch today after working a while at the baseball field. I made a sandwich. There was cheddar cheese in a plastic pouch thing that I put on the sandwich. It took a while to get the pouch thingy open after tearing off the strip above the closure. I thought I was going to have to get two pair of pliers.
Those of you who don't eat sliced cheese out of a pouch and only use cheese from a yak named Imogene who live in the hills of Switzerland and have it delivered directly to your refrigerator on a powder puff, won't understand.

Just last night I decided to open the package of phone charging cables I bought at Sam’s awhile back. There was NO WAY I was going to open that plastic wrapped package without a knife. For awhile there I thought I was going to need a machete. I can understand they are trying to prevent theft but they’ve gone too far with packaging lately.
Where are the nannies when you need them? A guy could have cut his arm off trying to use a slightly dull knife on that package. I’m glad I had a very sharp knife in the drawer or they’d be calling me “lefty” today.

Mustang needs a new battery, so I went to remove the old one(9 years old) today. First step disconnect the negative terminal. Couldn't get it to budge until I used an old drum brake spring tool to pop it off the terminal. The positive side was a little easier. Cleaned some junk off the positive end and reamed out both connectors.. I had put some felt pads around each battery post, but I think I'm going to skip it when I install the new battery. The battery I took out has a red plastic ring that sits on top of the battery around the post.

I was at a wine tasting event on Saturday. It was sponsored by Mercedes Benz and, of course, they had some cars sitting around. They had two of the EQS there. The cheaper one is $104,000 and the other one is $111,000.
a fun light story. my son texted Sunday asking what the trick was to replace the LED bulb in a recessed can fixture. He said there was no way to unscrew the cover (glass or plastic, not sure) to get in and replace a bulb. apparently (and news to me) they sell them as sealed units and you just unplug an replace the whole unit (popping it out since it it held in by V springs). He sent me a picture of the top portion (that goes in the ceiling). Had a red snap in plug which he said all the ones he saw online had. But there was also a thick electric wire running into the can itself (was hard to see how it all worked in a phone picture).
Told him to take the picture to the store and ask them. Next I heard he figured something out, bought a new unit, and plugged it in. and it did not work.
turns out, after some investigation, somebody had turned of a light switch by the front door (a dimmer) that the fixture was connected to. Turned that back on, and the original one worked again.
told him he got lucky. learned something about his lighting, could return the new one so no cost for parts, and did not get embarrassed by paying a lot to "a guy" to come out and turn his light switch back on.

Nope all you would have to do is just coast to a stop. Or you could have everyone do a U-turn then hit the brakes to increase the effect,

it has a remote entry keypad. works like a garage door opener pad. actually pretty convenient. when I washed the car I was wearing sweats and my keys were upstairs. so I could open it with the pad to wipe down the sills and clean the interior.
also convenient for going to the beach or kyacking. someplace where you don't want to have your keys on you, but can't really leave on the shore. just put them under the seat and use the pad to lock the car. then reverse the process when you get back.

Those of you who don't eat sliced cheese out of a pouch and only use cheese from a yak named Imogene who live in the hills of Switzerland and have it delivered directly to your refrigerator on a powder puff, won't understand.

Just last night I decided to open the package of phone charging cables I bought at Sam’s awhile back. There was NO WAY I was going to open that plastic wrapped package without a knife. For awhile there I thought I was going to need a machete. I can understand they are trying to prevent theft but they’ve gone too far with packaging lately.
Where are the nannies when you need them? A guy could have cut his arm off trying to use a slightly dull knife on that package. I’m glad I had a very sharp knife in the drawer or they’d be calling me “lefty” today.

We have a black and decker rechargeable electric scissors. Work great on hard plastic packages. And fantastic for cutting sheet vinyl.

Anyone in here brave enough to brag about your dishwasher that’s still working. I know I’m not gonna do that.

First step disconnect the negative terminal. Couldn't get it to budge until I used an old drum brake spring tool to pop it off the terminal. The positive side was a little easier.
Cleaned some junk off the positive end and reamed out both connectors..
I had put some felt pads around each battery post, but I think I'm going to skip it when I install the new battery. The battery I took out has a red plastic ring that sits on top of the battery around the post.

Told him to take the picture to the store and ask them. Next I heard he figured something out, bought a new unit, and plugged it in. and it did not work.
turns out, after some investigation, somebody had turned of a light switch by the front door (a dimmer) that the fixture was connected to. Turned that back on, and the original one worked again.
told him he got lucky. learned something about his lighting, could return the new one so no cost for parts, and did not get embarrassed by paying a lot to "a guy" to come out and turn his light switch back on.

He say horizontal so he can eat the favored top on it's own, I say vertically so when you heat it it will be done equally on both halves.

The truck looks great from what I can see....I like the nice neat lines....meant for business, and that air scoop thing .......also like the slope and business like windshield and the wheels....with Michelin tires. What are the little button things on the door post....window level behind the front door.

But eventually those cars, which accelerated eastward, would have to apply their brakes or allow friction to slow them to a stop. That force would be pulling on the ground causing the earth to once again accelerate to its initial rate of rotation.
Nope all you would have to do is just coast to a stop. Or you could have everyone do a U-turn then hit the brakes to increase the effect,

also convenient for going to the beach or kyacking. someplace where you don't want to have your keys on you, but can't really leave on the shore. just put them under the seat and use the pad to lock the car. then reverse the process when you get back.
