Isn't there some better ways to do field sobriety checks than to ask people to do bizarre things that have nothing to do with driving? I was talking to a friend of mine who's a deputy sheriff, and he told me that many people who haven't had a thing to drink fail them, but others who are three...

I'm surprised no one has started a thread on this, so I will. Long story short, Equifax got hacked, so there's a very strong chance that your personal financial data is on the street if you live in the U.S., and some possibility if you live in Canada or the UK...

I rarely use YouTube to watch videos. A few of my clients have YouTube accounts attached to their Google+ accounts for which I am a "manager," and they send me videos to edit and upload; but I don't have a personal YouTube account and I rarely watch YouTube videos unless they're embedded in...

The obesity thread inspired me to whip up a batch of English muffins. That and the fact that I ate the last of the previous batch last night. As background, I gave up eating processed food to the extent that I can a few months ago, and I also only eat bread that I bake myself. Baking bread has...

I received an email from a Web site owner overseas. For reasons that will become apparent momentarily, I can't post a link to the site. The Web site owner requested that I remove some links that users posted on a forum. I don't own the forum nor the site it's part of, nor do I participate on it...

When washing undergarments or bed linens that are not white, I find it best to wash them in hot water and detergent with no bleach, followed by a normal rinse; and then to run them through another entire wash and rinse cycle using cold water with no detergent and no bleach. -Rich

What is it that compels deer to run into the paths of moving vehicles? Are they stupid? Depressed? Looking for the insurance angle? This one got up and ran off into the woods. I don't know how badly he was injured. Damage to the car was minor, all things considered. (Hey Mike, do you have one...

This sample quiz in the Christian Science Monitor is based on a test given to all new NFL quarterbacks. I scored 100 percent on it -- proof attached -- which you'll realize is no great achievement once you actually take the quiz...

I got this link in an email from http://smarterfuelfuture.org. I can't vouch for its accuracy. http://smarterfuelfuture.org/the-extra-mile-for-ethanol-free-gas -Rich

Hi there. I've been busy working on a new site the past few days (one of my own, this time, long-delayed due to other work), so I haven't had the time to be on POA much. But an email I received this morning simply screamed out for sharing. This email was from a competitor of one of my clients...

Am I the only one getting tired of this? For the past few months, it seems as if I can't do anything without being asked to complete a "customer satisfaction survey" or some such nonsense. JavaScript boxes stop me cold and ask for my opinion when I visit new Web sites. E-ZPass just stopped me...

So let's suppose that widespread power and communications outages were to occur because of the storm and couldn't be repaired by Election Day, rendering the new, electronic voting machines useless. Election Day is fixed by the Constitution, not by statute; so it can't be re-scheduled. How would...

If I remember my applied physics correctly, 1,500 watts should equal 5,118 btu / hr., no matter how you slice it. So why do infrared heaters seem to work so much better than other electric heaters? Last year, on the first cold day, I set out to buy an electric heater. Living in a place with...

No, this isn't some kind of projective psychological test. I took the attached picture, which has been rejected by almost every stock company I submitted it to, while some of my pictures that I consider far inferior have been accepted. In a nutshell, the editors tell me that this picture is...
