Re: Mint Mobile

My 3 month "trial" is up and I just renewed with Mint Mobile. I chose to pay 12 months in advance. This got my monthly price for 4GB data down to $15. That is $180 for a year of 4GB/mo data and unlimited call & text. NOT BAD. Still, if you travel in the countryside a lot, you should probably stick w...

Mint Mobile

Shameless plug for Mint Mobile. I switched 2 weeks ago. It was SUPER easy to migrate my number to Mint. $15/mo gives me unlimited talk & text and 4GB data. Website and mobile app make it easy to buy additional GB if I ever need a little more in a month. 10GB for $20/mo, and "Unlimited" for $30/mo. M...

Crighton CR700W Technology

I'm a sucker for easy-to-consume animations that explain physics or technology!

Love the animation video in this AdvRider article. It explains the rotary engine and some cool proprietary systems Crighton has developed.

Re: eFuel?!

...and this is why I love riding my dirt bike. It is one of the only activities I engage in where I am fully engaged . When I'm picking a line through a nasty obstacle, I am not thinking about climate change, politics, mask mandates, how I'm going to pay for healthcare, or that task I'm dreading tha...

Re: eFuel?!

I was hoping you'd watch the video and comment, science-nerd safiri! Conservation asks me to give up something ... most aren't willing. Efficiency allows me to get the same result for lower cost. Reminds me of Reduce | Reuse | Recycle Most people don't even know what that 1st word is! I think many a...

Re: Farming is hard

Most dramatic regime changes happened and are happening all over the world when your population goes hungry... I hadn't thought that far down the line. Makes sense. I've told people my "big fear" is not terrorists or zombies or natural disasters in themselves---it is 1) lack of drinking water, and ...

Re: Farming is hard

So what is the REAL cost of food? I have always been astounded that I can go into a Costco and buy a rotisserie cooked chicken for $5. Hatch the chicken Raise & feed the chicken Get chicken to market Prepare the chicken Cook the chicken Package for retail sale ---------------------------------------...

Farming is hard

Quiet morning sipping my coffee, and, as one does, reading KSU's Kansas Land Values Book 2020.
The 2019 Net Farm Income average was $110,380 per operator but of that 72% was made up of government payments.

Farming is hard.

eFuel?!

ADVRider shared this interview today. It is very interesting even if you don't understand the science. Gives me some hope for the future.

Wow 93! Happy Birthday, Motoracer13!

Noticed at the bottom of the home page, the forum told me to wish happy birthday to Motoracer13 who is apparently 93. Hope I can still ride like him when I'm 93! Ha! (he is NOT 93 years old)
