Does anybody have an opinion on using those invertors that install under the hood of a car? I've seen them up to 5KW, with 10KW peek. On the surface, it seems like a good alternative to a planta or inversor for those that have a car, and may even be cheaper to buy a junker that runs and one...

Overheard by a four year old in the DR after being told her clothes were ugly by another child: "?Y?" Good answer!

I found to get my posts to show the correct time, as in my time, I need to selecte a different time zone than my place of post. However, shouldn't the time of posts all reflect the time zone of the DR, not the time zone of the poster's post location? Otherwise, how can one tell how long ago...

Electricity consumption is sold and measured in quantity. Quantity units for electricty are Kilowatt-hours, not Kilowatts per hr (KW/hr). DR1 should correct this or notify the source because it is getting confusing. It is especially confusing when prices vary with consumption "per month"...

I bet some of you are upset about deletions. Read on and then see how you feel. So <b>you spent a long time getting that info</b>, making sure it was accurate, and adjusting your wording until it was just right, and now the post is gone. So you were a <b>victim of being part of a thread that...

I recently experienced my first microwave explosion. I had never heard of such a thing as "<b>exploding water</b>". I filled a glass coffee cup half way and I was letting the water boil so that the steam would make it easier to clean the inside of the microwave. I didn't want it to boil out...

Here's another one. I once read that pets raised since birth take on the facial and gesture characteristics of their owner. Wierd, but I do notice that pets have a certain look unique to their owners. Now the really wierd part. I know a girl that had a baby but since she works, she has a...

I asked a guy about these chickens I always see walking freely around the street. I asked "whose chickens are they?" The response was that they were owned by various nearby neighbors. "How do they know which chickens belong to which people?" Response I was given: "How do you know which cat...
