Do you carry a jump starter in your vehicle and if so, what are the characteristics you looked for? I’m curious, because the prices are all over the place and oddly, the model with some of the best features, this Stanley pictured below, is one of the least expensive. It’s not only a jump starter, but it’s got an air compressor for filling tires, USB ports for charging two electronic devices at the same time, a light and more. Yet it’s about half the price of some that do little besides jump starting. Now some of the much more expensive…

A few years ago, two of the many kind readers of this blog sent a substantial donation specifically for buying a generator. The money they sent was enough to purchase an inexpensive generator — or make a good start on saving for the compact Honda or Yamaha they knew was on my wish list. They gave me that option. My choice. I decided to stash the donation and keep on saving for the Dream Generator. While it made me nervous not to have backup power, I figured that — not being particularly a Ms Fixit — I needed the reliability,…
24 CommentsTomorrow, Friday, December 30, will be Digital Day at Amazon. Yes, there are too many this-and-that days for buying things. But this one is apparently designed to enable you to fill up those devices you got for Christmas at bargain rates. You may be all buyed out, and if so, peace and joy to you. But if you’re still shopping, you know where to enter the big giant store.
3 CommentsThe complete float tank experience, including embarrassing details not for public consumption, has now been posted as an article at Claire’s Cabal, our member-only sister site. I posted the short version on the blog last week. So you got it first; Cabalistas get it worst. Remember: donated three-month memberships to the Cabal are still available to those who can’t afford to join and would like to be active participants on the forums.
Leave a CommentHa! Michael Bloomberg paid $20 million to get a prove-your-innocence-before-buying-a-gun law in Nevada. It lost everywhere but Las Vegas, won by a single percentage point overall, and cost the mad anti-gunner more than $30 per v*te. Now, because of a blatant error in the way it was written, it turns out to be unenforceable, according to David Codrea and the Nevada Attorney General. Sebastian has the details on Bloomberg’s screwup.

Carrie Fisher’s beloved dog, Gary.
6 CommentsNo, he hasn’t died. At age 86 he’s simply decided to get out of the news whirl, quit his regular column, and spend more time on photography. Is that cool, or what? Michelle Malkin says an eloquent goodbye. Yes, he’s more conservative than many of us diehard lib-anarchists would like. But overall, he was a powerful voice of common sense on economics and liberty and especially against the tomfoolery of eternal racial victimhood. He also won my heart by by being such a private person and disdaining trendy self-promotion. So farewell and enjoy being out of the news loop, Dr.…
6 CommentsNot really a review, since no self-respecting gunperson would contribute money to the makers of this movie, which depicts the poor, underfunded gun-control movement battling the huge, powerful, omnipresent NRA. But that’s precisely what makes Lott’s article so interesting. The stats: Poorly funded gun-control advocates are shown doing battle with the big, bad National Rifle Association. Of course, Michael Bloomberg is never mentioned. He would spoil the story, since he gives $50 million a year to his regulation-pushing Everytown for Gun Safety. This is 2.5 times more than the NRA spends on political activities. From 2013 to 2016, Bloomberg donated…
