Can anyone recommend a good biography on Napoleon? Thanks

Salt water pool maintenance

Posted by gungho on 2/2/26 at 3:38 pm
Anyone compare self- testing water and chemical purchase from walmart/big box stores with testing at pool specialty stores and purchase their chemicals, i.e. any significant difference in quality between the two approaches?

re: Hip replacement

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I've heard/ read anterior approach best. Surgeon is about the most popular for THA in the town and seems to have excellent outcomes (as voiced by PT's). Falling apart since retirement- in last year, right thumb suspensionplasty and right wrist SLAC (ligament tear), and now this- hard on the golf game.

Hip replacement

Posted by gungho on 1/30/26 at 10:37 am
I'm 69, very active: run, golf walking and carrying clubs, backpack, hike. Now with unilateral hip pain, running very limited, very limited on internal rotation(golf backswing). Will get diagnosis in a week or so, pretty sure it's osteoarthritis. Anyone have hip replacement, what convinced you, and your outcome as far as post- recovery activities?

Weather Map Interpretation

Posted by gungho on 1/21/26 at 12:54 pm
Can anyone provide suggestions on how to interpret the colorful and technical weather maps people post when severe weather is predicted, including the letter/number designations? Any websites? AI helpful? Thanks
SIAP, but how does one learn how to interpret/make use of all the colorful weather maps on these threads and what all the letter/number designations mean? Thanks

Not a troll- sincerely curious
Is it state law that backflow preventer valves on home systems be tested and certified annually? How is this enforced and how much does it cost in your area? Had one in Shreveport and never heard of this until I recently moved to Lincoln parish
Where did u see he was raised Mormon? Because he was from Utah?
Yes, your 2nd paragraph is pretty much what we were told. There wasn't really any major temp fluctuations, less than if we had been home, Thermostats were at narrow range. Guess it was just it's time. What a mess, though
Ours shattered 2 weeks before we moved while we were out of town. Was about 15yr old. No one could say "why", except possible impurities? Same as micropits referenced above?
CO passed a law re: rental cars requiring snow equipment and it's the renter's responsibility to make sure the car is equipped. Don't remember the details so one should check if renting. Was just there last week but had personal vehicle that was legal so didn't pay too much attention

Using pizza steel on Big Green Egg

Posted by gungho on 12/2/25 at 7:10 am
Still learning my BGE. Bought pizza steel, tried Neapolitan dough. Preheated steel on BGE to 650 degrees (placed on upper grate, no stone or ConvEGGtor underneath). Dough basically caught fire when placed on steel, 2nd piece of dough still got charred. Suggestions? Maybe ConvEGGtor underneath the answer? Thanks

I’ve been to Hyderabad for a couple weeks.

No trash on the streets; no offensive smells other than car exhaust.

Great food and friendly people.

I don't know what part of Hyderabad u went to, but when I went about 9 yr ago I went all over the city. About the filthiest place I've been. Typical Indian views- street urination/ defecation. Even though I stayed in one of the Marriotts, the stench from adjacent stream (diarrhea green) when the wind blew a certain way and the nearby lake where people sent their little flaming boats out on the water as part of the grieving process for loved ones were very efficient deterrents to return. Heartbreaking situation. And i have a very close Indian friend who lives there

Anyone travel the North Coast 500 in Scotland? How was your experience? Recommendations? Warnings?

Very interesting article- by a woman no less. Explains a lot.
Not exactly the same but check out the Systematic Buzz Phrase Projector:

You are mixing tense. "This" is singular but "bars" is plural.


It's not tense- that's for verbs. The error is in number agreement.

re: States with less people than DFW

Posted by gungho on 10/16/25 at 1:06 pm to
Yeah, we live in N LA and drive several times a year to CO/UT. We're old and don't like the stress driving thru DFW so the extra 20min it takes us to skirt north is more than worth it. Kinda pretty scenery anyway thru the ranch land there
