I've reconsidered. The answer to "Is zero positive or negative?" is "negative". Military-speak for "No, zero is not one of those options."
Neither one. ("No" was too short.)
About 20 years in Seattle my neighbor built a fence from the middle of the side yard to the back. By building his half-fence, he blocked me from using his driveway, which was the only way to get my...
"Grammar is knowing when to say 'whom'. Tact is knowing when not to."
As I read with dismay what's left of the local paper, I wish the editors' (if they have editors) understanding of grammar went deep enough to care about Oxford commas.
Same at my school. What was not allowed was switchblades or sticking knives in desks.
Ne neither.
We played a version called "Chicken" where 2 guys start with legs spread apart. You throw the knife between the other guy's feet and he moves a foot up to where the knife stuck. If he moves before...

They are "concerned about increasingly stringent regulations on knives in many markets." I can believe it. Maybe kids would be allowed to have one in school. Give them somethng to play with besides...
Never cleaned. Occassionally lubed with motor oil from a little pump oil can.
Looks like they're here, too: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article278572054.html
According to the Miami Herald they're not as bad as they sound. Not good, but not all that...
Just came in from using my Ryobi 40v leaf blower. Very good, IMO. It's been a long time since I've used gas so I can't compare but this one does a good job and we have a very demanding yard. There...
Interesting subject. I have skimmed over some of those videos and it's amazing what he's doing. Brought back memories. I sailed in the Pacific Northwest for years and have spent much time in Pt....
I edited my reply to Lee to make it clear which "//" I was referring to. I appreciate the suggestion but I really don't want to know more about URL's. Been there, done that, now it's someone else's...
After logging in or failing to a bunch of times I find that it's the "www." in my bookmark causing the problem. The password manager, cookies, "http" vs "https" and the single or double "/" don't...
I had no idea there was so much to consider in pencil sharpeners. Personally, I'm looking for one that's big and bulky and clips on my belt, to make up for some perceived inadequacies in my measuring...
I use KeepPassXC password manager and I always see this behavior if I'm trying to log in from https://www.sawmillcreek.org/forum.php. If I go to any sub-forum I can log in successfully. It's a quirk...
According to the BBC website tonight: "A hiker in the US has recorded two men pushing rocks from an ancient formation in Nevada...."
That video is getting some play. It was on ABC News with David...
Warren - That's not practical here but I can believe it worked.
The closet as framed will be 24 1/4" deep with 1/2" drywall, so not much depth available to lose. The back of the closet is the...
We're doing some remodeling to create a new master bedroom. We're carving a closet 6 feet wide by 2 feet deep out of the end of an unrelated bathroom and I want good sound insulation between the back...
I have a picture of the last inch of a neighbor's thumb which he removed almost exactly that way.
And some places require them, which can be a real surprise if you show up without one like you could just a few years ago.
Seems to depend on whom you ask. I got new tires from a tire shop a while back and they said I needed brakes, which they'd be happy to take care of at the same time. I declined.
A few months later...
I want a car you can slap on the rump and tell it to go get the groceries.
