Not when you consider that El Garrouj was a freak. The reason it stood for so long is that it was a helluva record.

Spiders are insectivores and have little to no interest in you. That's why I love them. When you have spiders, you don't have pesty insects, in the same way that when you have cats…

As I recall (and not mentioned here) it's said that people have a lot of grey matter to be a good controller for the "arm/shoulder ballistics system," a detail which ended up out p…

It's been said that the most amazing engineering of the whole Shuttle program was the external fuel tank (and there is one with the static display of Endeavour here at the Californ…

Try finding the backtick on a mobile phone keyboard in less than a minute, tho. So very annoying. (SwiftKey I'm look at you, bud.)

Considering they only shipped about every two years—I'm not kidding—so long as they keep the lights on, that's good enough for me. (I'll still look for a replacement, but I won't f…

Finasteride, in the US at least, has only a 30 day refractory period. My MD let's me stop for 30 days so I can donate, then resume the regimen.

The very best gridiron football is NCAA (SEC specifically) but getting tickets is basically unobtanium. I was lucky to have a FIL who was an alum, and donated enough yearly to get …

My grandmother (b. 1906)—a very intelligent lady (held her J.D.)—always had MLB game the broadcast tuned in anytime I was visiting her. The tempo and information needs of the game …

A germane chemistry story but not about lubricants. I grew up in Atlanta. My mom was a scientific librarian and for a while she worked in the chemistry department at Coca-Cola. She…

It's surprising how dumb management has gotten in the Almighty Chase for A Quarterly¹ Profit. Remember, "it is very difficult to get a man to understand a thing when his job depend…

I just got my first pair of HAs in November and I opted for the T-coil enabled model. It also (already) has working Auracast (not just "available in a future firmware update" like …

I'd always been told this was planned into the implementation of the US Interstate Highway System. There are dead straight and level sections ever so many linear miles or per some …

> That seems to be a more recent thing. There is now a concrete barrier in front of the rock face. Nodding thx for the correction. Understandably, I am not scanning the outside sho…

I drive this section of road 'spiritedly' myself¹, and I can attest that this particular spot is deceptive and can easily bite you. I wet my pants a couple of times by overcooking …
