Roy Moore Pulled Out A Gun And Won Alabama's GOP Primary

Homosexsual behavior is a ground for divorce, an act of sexual misconduct punishable as a crime in Alabama, a crime against nature, an inherent evil, and an act so heinous that it defies one´s ability to describe it.

Quote by Roy Moore. February 15, 2002

--

When vying for Jeff Sessions' seat in the Senate, it doesn't hurt to whip out an elf-sized pistol.

September 23, 2017 Doomsday...Except It Isn't. The Glaring Problem is...

It's Doomsday week. You didn't know? Google it. Either way...Don't get all excited and sell your knife collection just yet. I've seen a lot of contortions of logic before when it comes to Doomsday predictions and the Bible, but apparently now it's allowed to just tear out multiple chapters to make it fit. This is a long topic with a lot of points, so take the time.

Science Based Medicine vs Evidence Based Medicine

Our ancestors lived in a pre-scientific world where the evolution of “logically illogical” thinking helped them survive.

Science doesn’t come naturally; we prefer stories to studies. How can we decide if a medical treatment works?



The scientific method is the only way to get reliable answers. Evidence-based medicine was a good idea but failed to live up to its promise.

How science-based medicine is different from evidence-based medicine and why it is better.

Food Storage: Mormon Myths, Methods & Shocking LDS Cannery Announcement

Food storage is part of self reliance which is a big part of the Mormon culture. This video was recorded at my local LDS emergency preparedness meeting. This presentation is full of valuable food storage golden nuggets. The speaker covers Mormon food storage myths, the truth and methods that make food storage easy and doable. She covers subjects such as the seven major food storage mistakes most people make, what types of wheat to store and why, food storage rotation ideas, the difference between a three week food storage and one year, important non-food storage items that you need to store, storage containers, storage conditions and locations, what to do about insects and gardening. She also makes an unofficial announcement about the Houston LDS cannery that may just shock you.

The Definitive 11Foot8 Bridge Crash Compilation

A 10 minute compilation of all crashes uploaded between 2008 and 2016 by 11foot8.com, copyright Jürgen Henn
FAQ

What is the location of the 11foot8 bridge?
201 Gregson St in Durham, NC (intersection with Peabody St)

Why is the bridge so low?
This train trestle is about 100 years old. At the time when it was built, there were no standards for minimum clearance.

How often do trucks crash into the bridge?
On average, about once a month a truck gets visibly damaged at the bridge. However, every day trucks that trip the overheight warning lights, stop and turn into the side street.

Stupid Americans


Why don’t they fix it?
Depends on who “they” are and on what “fix” means. The North Carolina Railroad Company owns the train trestle, and their concern is primarily with keeping the trains running and keeping them running safely. So their concern is mainly with reducing the impact of the truck crashes on the actual structure of the train trestle. As far as they are concerned, they solved that problem by installing the crash beam.

The city of Durham has installed “low clearance” signs on each of the 3 blocks leading up to the trestle (Gregson is a one-way road). There is an “overheight when flashing” sign with flashing lights that are triggered by vehicles that are too tall. Several blocks ahead of the trestle the speed limit is 25 MPH. The folks from the city planning department said that they made an effort to prevent accidents.

The North Carolina Dept. of Transportation maintains the road, but not the signage. I suspect they have much bigger problems to deal with statewide than this bridge.

Is the clearance signage accurate?
The clearance signage displays a maximum safe clearance – and yes, in that sense it is accurate. The actual clearance of the crash beam right in front of the trestle is 11 feet 10.8 inches, which gives it a 2.8 inch safety margin. The MUTCD allows for a maximum of 3 inches difference between the signage and the actual clearance.

Would this situation be better if the signage were metric? Well … take a look at his website: 2m40.com


For the convenience of our metric-only audience, here are the measurements we’re talking about in meters:
11foot8 (11 feet 8 inches) = 3.556 meters
11 feet 10.8 inches = 3.627 meters
Safety margin: 7.1 cm (at the crest of the road)
