Firestone Tire Wilderness AT 235 75R 15 bead cord failure

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 11:50.

It turns out that this tire was included in the Firestone Tire safety recall implemented in 2001 -  however, the tire failed because of a different manufacturing defect than the steel belt separation defects cited in the recall.

Counting Blessings...

Submitted by ANGELnWard14 on Sat, 12/03/2011 - 00:57.

Surviving countless losses, tragedy, and challenging life obstacles can teach you to appreciate your blessings far beyond words. Today, I sat with my father who shared a priceless childhood story...As tears rolled out of his eyes discussing family dynamics and experiences that "shaped his entire life" (as he put it)....he tried to keep the point humorous despite his sadness. I wanted to video tape his endearing story telling session, but didn't have the resources to do so, so I tried to jot down some notes for a hopeful, "next time" that he'd revisit such a story.

search algorithm in insect dna

The image shows the pattern made by an insect which chewed out tunnels between two sheets of rigid blue styrofoam insulation. 

The insulation was stacked faces together and left under an oak tree for a few years and when I moved one sheet off the other I noticed that there were several different types of tunneling geometry visible on the surfaces of the foam.   (I will upload other patterns soon)

Whats Up Realneo?

Submitted by Zebra Mussel on Thu, 11/24/2011 - 14:02.

So I was on here a while back and it was getting spammed out by wing nuts.   Then I come  back like a year later and its crazy warfare drama between the core Realneo players.. exactly the kind of drama things need to stay edgy, but exactly the kind of energy I care not to read.  All the raa raa was not what I use to come around here for, or contribute to.  Is all the bantering, lawyering, and mean talk over around these parts?

50 Best Bartering Sites for the Frugal Student

Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Thu, 11/24/2011 - 03:03.

If you think you can’t afford to get nice things, think again. Through the magic of bartering, you can offer your services or even old stuff you don’t want anymore, and in return, get items and services that you do want. In most cases, money never even exchanges hands, and you can get the things you want without ever spending a dime — a perfect idea for frugal students. Read on, and we’ll highlight 50 different bartering sites that frugal students can put to work for just about any trade you can imagine.

Over three-fourths of Americans distrust economic system

Submitted by amrevieL on Wed, 11/23/2011 - 03:02.
American-Bank.jpg

A new survey displays the negativity Americans feel toward the United States financial system proceeds to grow. Faith in the American economic system is indicated by only 23 percent of those surveyed. But it isn't hopeless, professionals say. Regulators, with work, can repair that trust. But the public must also be educated enough to know when the program is failing them.

Home Depot Still Life - is shopping better than it was? or not?

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Tue, 11/22/2011 - 22:38.

Every item that is delivered to every store in the United States is palletized in the delivery truck - and a loading dock and fork lift is necessary for offloading the goods. 

So the corner store is out of the loop.  No fork lift.  No loading dock.

I don't know if Warfarin killed this rat - but what a horrible idea - anti-coagulant death - only humans could devise it

Submitted by Jeff Buster on Mon, 11/21/2011 - 23:51.

 

And if the rat is killed with Warfarin, then maybe he'll be eaten and the anti-coagulant will then harm the next animal in the food chain..

What a horrible idea - feed a chemical which will make an animal hemorage internally. 

That's way out there. 

That's human ingenuity...
