There's all sorts of inappropriate ways to use a toaster where the failure mode is fire. Making toast in bed, under the covers? Catch fire. In a puddle of gasoline? Catch fire. Seriously, WTC toasters?

"Presidential chair"? Does that mean something to the average person? Weird autocorrect error?

Just like his heart, except that was too long ago to remember.

I guess I'll find out. I have wondered if any of these are just scams.

when it started getting really bad, i started replying stop. it maybe made things a little better but i still get a fair number if these (including this one). it definitely hasn't made it any worse.

Make no mistake, a miniature, portable power plant is nowhere near as efficient as a utility version. An industrial power plant burns less than a tenth of a gallon of natural gas to generate a kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity. Once the battery goes dry on the nascent Ramcharger, the burly truck will slurp 27 gallons of gas to travel an additional 545 miles, which works out to a relatively anemic 20 miles of range per gallon of gas.

It's really pathetic that the journalist didn't put these into directly comparable terms.

Finally, a razor that's specialized for shaving assholes!

Yes, that's exactly what is is. Thanks.

Simple is right. Any home handyperson could have made a ramp for the 3 or 4 steps up to that platform in a couple of hours.

OK, but I was considering it more a request for help, as I don't know yet whether it is really a configuration issue.
