GM didn't systematically destroy the trolleys everywhere In Spokane WA, there were two competing street car lines in 1910. Between them, downtown Spokane had 290 miles of street car track and you were never more than two blocks from a trolley stop. Everything torn out by 1937 due to lack of...

Hey guys, I just snagged a 1941 Hotpoint refrigerator brochure, and the machines look exactly like 1941 GE's! My Dad tells me that back in the day Hotpoint was sort of the stripped down GE line. Can anyone tell me more about relations between the two companies? Thanks

I'm one city south of him. We've had brown skies all weekend and random bits of ash coming down. Scary times indeed!

No gays for a day But what if it doesn't make much difference?

Well I'd be up for banning divorce... It might make people getting married finally take it seriously as a lifelong commitment and not merely a bigass, egocentric party. Then again, the rate of "ironically convenient" unexplained deaths might skyrocket too.

In Los Angeles it seems that a number of minority groups backed Prop 8. I remember a few years ago that (I believe it was Hillary Clinton and Mayor Virragosa) prominent politicians advocated giving drivers' licenses to all illegal aliens. I wonder if they'd still go for that if it turned out...

To be a devil's advocate, she had to play the part. And if she were like a head of state in Target and Sears attire, how long do you think it'd be before she'd be belittled in the tabloid press for that too?

The high side float is a float valve that restricts liquid refrigerant where it enters the evaporator. On earlier refrigeration, its called a high side float if its on the high pressuse side of the compressor and a low side float if its on low pressure side. Some machines I believe used...

I am happy that our president to be comes from an aspirational background, but I'm nervous about a social democrat leader. Is anyone else besides me concerned about religious freedom and the possibility of government social engineering under a social democrat leader? I hope I'm not pissing...

Is it the same as Chevrolet for that year?

I already bothered his voicemail today. I want to pick everyone else's brain too!

I'm about to try fixing a recalcitrant machine this week. Does anyone know what makes a refrigerator high side float stick? Just curious. Chris

Its not stereo, its called More Power! There are two stages of push pull 2A3 tubes plus two rectifiers powering the whole thing. Travis, I think you need to have a big band wake up the neighborhood party.

For those that were there, did people really dress so nicely back then?

If so please email me. Thanks, Chris

And I thought we invented "Mike Hunt" at my high school!

I will agree that we live in a culture of sexual (and many other forms of) excess, and I wish that we would get school vouchers.... but WTF? While they're at it, why don't they blame gays and black people for global warming and the decline of good AM radio.

What about tolerance? Yo guys, I know I should keep my mouth shut but this topic genuinely angers me. I'm Catholic, raised that way and I like it. Do I expect everyone to join my faith? Absolutely not. But whats up with tolerance when I cannot go to my church or say my prayers without a vocal...

Try all the Craigslists for all of Southern California. Eventually something will show up. And yes, inevitably the machine you want shows up after you're out of room, money, and patience from your family!

Ssssssshhhhuuussssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh! That one is about 40 minutes from my house and I'm most significantly tempted! So I'm doing my research to see what can or may break on it before I bring home another one.
