  1. This is why you DON'T stamp your initials on your tools in some situations folks.

  2. The obvious question--What WAS the octane rating?

  3. I seek them out for salads, nice replacement for the likes of endive but for free.

  4.  @golwenlothlindel  Why would you get rid of them? Manipulated by advertising for toxic boring monoculture lawns?

  5. Hard to imagine they need help spreading rapidly. I keep an eye out for them in my yard (don't use any stupid pesticides nor promote a grasshole in anyway) and pick leaves for salads. Lawns are mostly a boring waste of space.

  6. Dan Cooper Did dad also come home with a new socket set?

  7.  @seigeengine  Point 1 is completely false for ME. 2 is true but correctable and it's not about living off the land entirely it's about incremental diet supplementation. 3 is laughable, my yard is vastly cleaner, healthier than 90% of American commercial farming, I use essentially zero pesticides and rare exceptions are organic. Wild untrodden lands all around. Surely you are aware of some of the nasty persistent toxins used in modern agriculture, grain silos are fumigated with stuff you don't even want to think about. I hope you buy nothing but organic and never eat out. Americans are extremely unhealthy due to sugar, grain oils, over processed foods, etc., certainly not from foraging their food which would also cure the rampant sedentary problem.

  8. Also excellent source of nutrition.

  9. Often considered a "superfood" there's no reason we shouldn't eat them today as some of us do.

  10. As home gardener it's welcome addition for salads and purported to be one of healthiest things we can consume.

  11. People allow advertising to control them, lawns are useless and boring dandelions improve them.

  12. Definitely far more dangerous back in the Good ol' Days.

  13. I use the leaves in salads, not alone necessarily but as a readily available replacement for mild bitters like endive.

  14. Hell of a lot better that Harvey buy yeah.

  15. Methane--they all farted too much back then, plus paying forward for future SUV crisis.

  16. Unkraut60 Who are you talking to child?

  17. Too much atmospheric Methane, y'all farted TOO much back then. Ya windy Mofos totally trashed the weather.

  18. Yeah the fireball thing was primarily media hype just like this lousy vid. I did a research project on the fuel tank situation for a Mech. Engineering class, a lot of interesting things involved but overall it wasn't particularly bad, for it's day, even before the trivial recall mod.

  19. Cure for rats is wild cats, obviously, and or weasels.

  20. Clearly caused by future SUVs and cow farts, totally predictable. Reparations up front.

  21. Unfortunately the Bidwell Mansion which was under renovations was burned down by arsonist last yr. Was the centerpiece of small town of Chico, Cali....apparently to be rebuilt but it won't be the same with all those original trappings gone, carpets, drapes, furniture, etc.

  22. Pintos that burned were rear ended so hard you'd want to die anyway. Not bothering with more than 1 min of this old hype, did an engineering presentation on this issue for college class and my first car was a '73 Pinto. Was a $3k car and OK for it's day.

  23. We've been hearing the same sort of hysterical "warning" bullshit on climate for decades.

  24. Why is it that bow ties always make men look stupid? Folks don't fear flying because of an accident, if that were the case they would be far more terrified of driving.

  26. More dumb luck involved than most realize. Same for it being a wonder we didn't take out a planet--Earth....more close calls than folks are aware of on civilization ending mass nuke exchange. And we are NOT safe from it yet, not by a long shot.

  27. I find the "'drifting snow to fifth floor windows'" a bit hard to believe, that's about 50 ft. deep, granted drifts can be far deeper than the actual snow fall.

  28. We didn't learn much from prohibition, it caused massive crime and grief and we continue today with less dangerous drugs which is all of them. But law enforcement is addicted to the war on drugs and the general population have allowed themselves to be indoctrinated that the war is necessary.

  29. Great example of how our military squanders wealth and lives.
