You're such a courteous and considerate rider.

Just a matter of self preservation. I like to stay on good terms with people on the road. Specially when I am not sitting in a 3000 pound truck
edit: 6000 pound truck.

Obviously he is not a MAMIL.

Had to Google that. I might be the ANTI-MAMIL

What you need is a Mr. fusion to run it.

If I pumped a full Gigawatt in to it... I could easily cook bacon on the back heat-sink. And leave nice searing grill marks on the bacon (and the Godzilla if it happened to be in the light beam)

Cool idea! But would they work with moonlight?

Solar cells do generate some voltage under a full moon.


And there is technology that could produce clothing that could be a 'solar array'.


I saw a neat device recently for backpacking, directed at those who can't leave their devices at home. A lightweight solar panel that folds to about 6" square for storage, and when unfolded is around 18" square. It has a dongle to charge various USB styles and has a light that can be charged while hiking to use as light in the evening at camp.

In that case, my reply is as follows:

That sign read "nothing K5"

That's just an optical conclusion.

Actually that is the K at the end of the word TRUCK, and the S at the beginning of the word STOP.




But K5 is OK.

You just ruined it for me, I wanted to believe that it did say K5

The sign and background reminded me of something.

On my first trip to US a group of us were driving through Arizona to go to the Grand Canyon. We stopped off at a little place called Chloride. Outside the shop I saw a fairly friendly looking older man. He told me about his amended right to have a gun and then said, we like to keep the traditions of the the old west alive out here. My friend comes round and we have gun fights sometimes. He pointed somewhere not far from the shop and road and said, over there.

That was where I got in the car for my first experience of driving outside Australia. All worked fine and felt normal until the first time I had to turn left at some traffic lights. That just felt weird. Got over that soon enough. About 12 hours later (and several other people driving, I drove down The Strip at 2am - it was as bright as day and as busy as rush hour.

It says K5.

I saw it.

I have one (IIs).

But I had this thing a few years back.

My office view was like this:

That's weird.

I have always enjoyed the firearm privileges in this country. I am a gun owner and user. I have hunted. I have and still shoot for enjoyment frequently. I have a nice collection of rifles and pistols both newer and older. I keep all of my guns locked in a safe, tucked away in my house. I always use my firearms responsibly.

People like that give guys like me a bad name.

Funny, I turn right at traffic lights all the time. Doesn't feel weird to me. Just turning the steering wheel the other direction.

About 12 hours later (and several other people driving, I drove down The Strip at 2am - it was as bright as day and as busy as rush hour.

The strip is pretty cool, anytime of day, but at night, it is very different.

Kinda like Psychedelic Disneyland for adults.

Are you a UPS driver?
Did You Know UPS Trucks Only Make Right Turns?

I remember on the news a few years back about a person, with some kind of fear or phobia, who couldn't make left turns.
They had to plan every trip so that it could be completed with right turns only.
