I don't know, but if it works, I'm good with earmarking the occasional Keurig pod towards this. :D

This reminds me of my college English courses back in the '70s. 101 and 201 tended to be taught by grad students, many of whom were foreigners. While their accents sometimes made it difficult to understand, there was no denying their knowledge of the subject, as they were teaching English how...

I'd like to know if there are any topics Beth Mole doesn't like to cover. Because we all want more Beth Mole (and the puns). :D

Well, it's still nearly 30yrs away, and it might be possible to import green power by then and not overtly get power from a natural gas or some other positive carbon source. Though I do wonder about how they're going to spin the contributing to the grid issue.

C Diff is common, when you're on a heavy regimen of antibiotics. I have a friend who gets it often, as he gets antibiotics regularly for a host of ailments. My Dad had it when he got a case of pneumonia while at an advanced age. When I was in the hospital recently, the Doc and the nurses...

This reminds me of a visit to my Doc about 8-9 years ago. It was a routine visit, and as I was at the front desk getting my scripts and paying the co-pay, a woman walked up to me. She said she was a Wellness advisor with the health provider my Doc was associated with, and she said she wanted...

Beth only wrote the headline. :D

I saw the report on NBC Nightly News a few days ago about this. Somebody died because they couldn't afford the insulin, and was taking lower doses to extend the supply. I remember thinking about Mylan and the Epipen issue, but diabetes may well be more common. I think a lot of us know...

Yeah. Like when I was watching my mom knit stuff. Knit and purl, knit and purl, knit and purl. Sitting on the couch watching TV. It was completely automatic at some stages. I've read about modellers who needed to make a thousand trees for his basement layout, on a tray in the living room...

You could look at it that way. On the flip side, many people consider working on hobby stuff is free. I have a friend who likes to do woodworking. IF somebody wants something made, he just charges for materials. ;)

I recorded a pile of episodes on my VCR. I should dig those out and try to digitize them. :)

It would seem to me that this falls directly into the same bin as TSA body searching the 80yr old grandma. They don't want to be accused of profiling and show they treat everybody the same. Still, on the flip side, what else would inflame and energize the right other than some pages purporting...

This. I used to have a FFL, and the one thing that eventually bothered me was the fact that I didn't have access to the database back then. In fact, I had a long conversation with the desk sergeant of my local PD, and explained if there was any way I could do a background check on a customer...

I think Seattle tried to tax ammo. It might have survived a court challenge. But taxing ammo doesn't really stop things. I reload my own, so I hardly ever buy factory. You can tax the bullets, but I can cast my own out of lead. But fishing weights and melt them down and use a bullet mold...

I'd be thinking some sort of interservice rivalry might have something to do with it. From a parts availability standpoint, it's good that it's still in production. The next point will be the armor issue, what would it take to armor up a -1Y. Can't speak to the range. To me, the next...

Yes. GDLS knows it needs to take the pressure off of having just the US as the customer. Given the current battles we've been fighting, a main battle tank was relegated to the sidelines and the need for a LTP to produce new vehicles went on hiatus. New customers was one way for them to at...

I used to watch Tour of Duty on TV back when it was on, and in one helo scene, the soundtrack was 'Crossroads'. Paint it Black was also used, I think.

All good questions. In a vacuum, the Huey probably still is usable. I think there are a lot of Hueys in non-military usage. Still, it could be that the USAF wants to standardize to one type of helo. Second, it might be that it's getting more costly to support the Huey. I don't know if...

I didn't up or downvote, but having a UH-1 in the fleet means having to support the UH-1 in the logistics train. If they went to the Blackhawk, that gets rid of the entire UH-1 logistics train and standardizes everything to the Blackhawk airframe, with a smaller overall storage footprint. As...

I'm thinking they're filing suit to position themselves to get an injunction preventing the posting of the files. I don't think you can get an injunction without a suit. The suit may well fail on it's merits, but an injunction will stop them being available on line in the interim. In the end...
