    It's more bold than that. They are here, the plants, and they tend to be the extreme agitators. During WWI and II we called them collaborators.
    During the Rev War they were called Tories.
    Whatever else it is, it is not unreasonable to assume they aren't watching these forums.
    Instead of going to the National Inquirer, they cruise the message boards.
    They also have some of the finest hackers our dollars can buy.
    If they can prosecute over 900 people for a riot and ignore the 10,000 that rioted over the course of two years sends the message that they can find you, if they want.

    So truck battery terminals. Last week, the truck wouldn't start so I had AAA come out. His tune changed when I showed him the battery was under warranty. Look, it's all corroded here. Texas heat. And so he jump-started it. Well, I'm determined to either fix it or prove him wrong and get a new battery. So I got battery terminal cleaner, wire brushes, and corrosion preventative. That's what I did this morning and took it for a drive to recharge. Also bought a trickle charger etc.

    Doing research I found two things. One, Ford F150s are notorious for corroding battery terminals. They build them cheap not like the old days with just a heavy cable running into a terminal you bolt onto a battery post, no, now they're complicated and thin and easy to break. Two, you cannot just buy the terminal part from Ford, no, they sell only the terminal with an entire wiring harness assembly (3 cables) for $260! One source explained installing it requires special tools and the Ford shop charges another $250 for labor!!

    So now I'm determined to fix this damned thing myself. Or get AAA to pony up a new battery.
    I'm not familiar with Fords as I've never owned one but as far as I know there are only two types of automotive batteries...top post or side post. Both types have replacement cable ends available at any Automotive parts store which are far superior to the junk cable ends car and truck companies have begun to use to save money.
    The only issue I've ever encountered is they don't give you much extra cable to work with but I've always been able to find that extra inch after cutting off the old cheap cable end.
    After you clean the battery post spray some corrosion preventative around the base of the post and the underside of the cable end. Places you can't get to once the cable end is installed.
    Even if they corrode again you can replace them a whole bunch of times for $500 bucks.

    No need. The NSA already has your entire internet history.

    Actually we had a meeting and came to the consensus that the League of Burmese Trombonists are to blame.
