    Laser Engraved PE Seal Wall Plaque

    What kind of laser engraver do you have?  I have a Trotec Speedy 300 and an Epilog (don't remember the model number).

    The Queen doesn't need a passport to travel internationally...since UK passports are issued in her name.  It'd be like you issuing yourself a driver's license.

    2019 Last Minute Christmas gift ideas

    I'm curious as to where you got the letters and what they're made of.  I have cut letters/numbers for one of my friends for both a clock he made for his family and a "cake wheel" sign for a church picnic.  I have a [fairly professional level] laser cutter and cut the letters out of 1/4" plywood...

    THE DRUNK TANK... 2.0

    One of my favorites.  Like it?  I'm drinking a Blanton's on the rocks at the moment.  Elmer T. Lee (my absolute favorite brown liquor) and Blanton's are the same grain bill.  But Blanton's is rare here, and Elmer T. Lee is rarer than Pappy Van Winkle.

    What is the Best Christmas Movie

    Sure Christmas Vacation is the movie I watch every Christmas.  But Die Hard is the Christmas movie that keeps on giving the WHOLE YEAR!

    It's Friday!!!!

    For slightly more than Maker's you can get Basil Hayden or Bulleit...both of which are leagues better.

    NFL season 2019

    The sports press is dying for some real drama with the Patriots, Brady, and Belichick.  The Pats have lost 2 games this season, and you'd think they were worse than the Bengals with the headlines I'm seeing.  During most of the Patriots Super Bowl years, they had 2 or more losses during the...

    THE DRUNK TANK... 2.0

    I drank an entire bottle of Basil Hayden, plus a healthy pour of Blanton's and Whistle Pig Rye, plus a dozen or so beers over the course of the last few days.  Family really brings out my urge to drink.

    All-electric Ford Mustang

    I just heard on the radio on the drive in this morning that it's a 5-seat, crossover SUV.  WTF are they slapping the Mustang badge on a car that bears absolutely 0 resemblance to the car its named after?

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    That's a NEMA 5-30 outlet, so it can provide up to 30 amps at 240 VAC.  I would double check the breaker serving it, though.  If its just a 30 amp breaker, I wouldn't put more than 22 amps on it (the previous Jacuzzi used 17 amps).  You should never have a continuous load over over 80% of a...

    Teenage celebrity crush

    I very much prefer that to women blowing their lips up like balloons.  I never have understood that particular plastic surgery.

    Dunno...but let me know if you find out.  My boss and another supervisor at work are both like this.  I dread whenever either of them drop by to ask a 'simple' question.  It's at least 30 minutes of my day that I'm not going to get back.

    Whatcha Playin?

    When I worked at the A/E firm, there was an architectural CAD tech that sat right next to the employee entrance.  His computer was spec'd to the max because he was running the first version of Revit (which was a massive resource hog).  Every day at lunch, he'd fire up a first person shooter...

    NFL season 2019

    Teddy Bridgewater is good.  He has an excellent arm, he can throw on the run, and his first inclination is to throw (i.e., he isn't a QB that's always looking to run).  He was awesome at Louisville with a ****** O-line, and he did really well for the Vikings prior to his leg injury.

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    The quote in the HBO series was an adaptation of a quote from a Soviet physicist (Vasili Nesterenko) in a documentary glorifying the Russians that risked their lives in the cleanup effort immediately following the Chernobyl meltdown.  The quote is widely discredited, and it is believed he used...

    Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

    The bolded part is why I refuse to watch the show.  I've seen several documentaries on the Chernobyl disaster and I've watched some reviews of the HBO show from some pretty smart, science-types.  Between the two, I believe it impossible for a nuclear meltdown at a power plant to cause a...

    natural gas explosion reference

    I found a reference describing a model to estimate blast radius, but it doesn't deal with crater depth.  Maybe some of the references in this paper would answer your question? https://pstrust.org/docs/C-FerCircle.pdf
