While it's open season on rednecks, you're not supposed to bait 'em!

We've all made stupid mistakes, the question is, was anything learned from it? Better yet, was anything learned from the mistakes of others?

The obvious answer to those questions is . . . Of course not!

Happy New Year everyone. Best wishes for happiness and prosperity. My "good news" at the moment is that I've enrolled in school to get my contractor's license back. I had it back through the 90's and early 00's, but let it go when I tried to "retire" from the trades. Wasn't done ...

I almost had one yesterday, but I'm not sure if it would belong here, the irritated thread, or another "stupid people" thread I don't know about. You know how you always see pics and memes of people loading lumber or ladders THROUGH their cars, side to side? Well, I saw some idiot yesterda...

You'll have to clarify, did you purchase it on credit and pay for it when the money came in, or did you not assemble it until the money came in? :wink: :mrgreen: Straight up paid for it, but refused to open it until I had brought in enough to cover the cost (or close to :D ). Good news is that toda...

A tracked RC in the snow would be a blast!

Series = in line ( + to -, + to -) = double battery power, no increase in capacity. This is how all battery packs are assembled to get the battery to it's target voltage/amperage for its application. Smaller cells can discharge their energy faster than one large cell, they also charge faster. Parall...

Seems like just yesterday that Scr8p and a few of his buddies got this place going. Damn kids grow up so fast these days!

someone owns this domain and then presumably he makes money from ad revenue like everything else? Do moderators make money on this like YouTube chat? Figure this is a "safe" place to ask my clueless question :lol: I don't think there's any money being made here, just trying to bring in en...

We old farts grew up in a very different world. I grew up out in the sticks so crime was even less of a worry for us in the small town where I went to school. No kindergarten in my time, but it was added by the time I was in the 4th or 5th grade. We also had K-8 on the same campus and the high schoo...

Oh, and buying throwing stars from Cutlery World in the mall at 12. :mrgreen: Amateur! :roll: We made our own in shop class when the teacher wasn't looking. :mrgreen: At least until a few of the idiots started throwing them at the wall in the steel storage room, which shared the wall with the Engli...

I don't have a lot of specific stories to tell, just that we had total freedom back then. We could go pretty much anywhere at any time as long as we were home before dark. We never got into any trouble and no one ever bothered us. I especially remember that there was a store about 2 miles from my g...

1.png We actually did have a "smoker's corner", until they decided that minors shouldn't be smoking and banned it. We also had an open parking lot, until they decided that they needed to chain the driveway to keep kids from leaving, that is when I started parking on the street so I could ...

Thought these would be appreciated here.

Public pools are always chlorine pits, for good reason! I can honestly say I've not been to one in 45+ years. I learned to drive sitting on my father's knee at 5 or 6 years old. Obviously, wasn't allowed to operate the vehicle fully on my own, but went through most of the motions for years. As soon ...
