    Hail to Thee, Smokingpipes!

    I ordered around 330pm last Wednesday and had the package Friday morning. Ridiculous.

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    I'd love to find Amphora somewhere nearby. I was very happy to find a 5 Brothers stash, I'm pretty sure the owners saw it in the catalog and were thinking, "yep, Amish people'll like this...."

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    When a young Amish person makes the decision on whether or not they want to be baptized and continue the Amish life, they do so under threat of being completely excommunicated from all family and friends who remain with the church. Still, some "yank over" and are referred to as "Yankees." I...

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    Sometimes the difference in rules can be seen in Amish families who live on the same street! Elmer can have a porch swing because he goes to the church over on Grove Road, but Levi can't have one because he goes to the church on Hosmer. Elmer can have the suspenders that cross in back, but...

    Calculating The Heat of Compression

    So the sub was shaped like a pill, with two nose cones of titanium on both ends and a center cylinder of carbon fiber. It's that center cylinder which imploded. The Coast Guard has said they found the landing skids, the fiberglass tail, and the two nose cones. So, probably the only portion of...

    Calculating The Heat of Compression

    That big ol tank on top of the bathysphere was filled with gasoline. No kidding.

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    There is, and it's wonderfully refreshing.

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    Oh I do. I've partied with some Amish folks. They drank me under the table, then we're up at dawn to take the kids fishing.

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    Oh boy, they certainly are not. They're just like anyone else, except funny clothes and their own language, and horses. And solar panels, and cellphones.

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    I prefer the taquitos, myself. I'll eat six of those things.

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    The Amish around me vape and use cellphones...and drink at the bowling alley.

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    Or for a buck more, I can drive 10 minutes and actually receive some 5 Brothers on demand. And get some really good pizza while I'm there, too. And a cucumber lime Gatorade.

    Blend Reserved for Treats?

    I've got a couple. Most of my smoking is comprised of cheaper bulks, but I do have a few jars that are set aside for special occasions. I've got a few bowls worth of some McCellands Anniversary, from the first year they did it (2002 maybe?) as well as some old Old Gowrie from 2013 that are my...

    Anyone Ever Find a Gas Station Gold Mine?

    Maybe it's the large Amish population around me, and their love of old fashioned things (which are also cheap), and their relatively common use of corncob pipes..but I just found the mother lode of 5 Brothers at a local gas station... we're talking cases of the stuff, at a little over $5 a...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    Oh yeah. 14psi to about 5000psi in a millisecond or so? Lotta heat. I've heard ranges from 2200° to "as hot as the surface of the sun," and there's probably someone very good at math who could do math things and find a reasonably close number for the Titan situation but...man, I'm having...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    It wasn't just his fired engineer who expressed concerns...it was literally everyone in the submersible business telling him he was creating a death trap and pleading with him not to send Titan so deep. Really cool about your dad, too!

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    I saw an estimate of ~2240° F for a brief instant inside the sub when it imploded.

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    Oceangate did a pretty good job of hiding the various lawsuits and stuff, but one father/son duo backed out for safety concerns after doing some research. Rush tried to convince them it was safe...they would've been on the trip which was Titan's last...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    The suspense, the speculation, the ultimate demise...it's been such a fascinating story to follow, as we've slowly learned more and more. I don't know anyone who hasn't heard about it and has something to say. I feel like this story might live on, I don't think people will forget it, as it's...

    Titanic Tour Sub Missing. Remarks/Questions.

    I just saw an interview with a father/son duo who were interested in the trip, and backed out because the 20 year old son recognized the safety issues. Rush flew out to Vegas to beg them to come and offered reduced price etc, gave them some lines of BS in an attempt to quell their concerns...
