    I just learned that British character actor Michael Culver died February 27 at the age of 85. He had lots of roles over the years, but perhaps his most memorable (at least to the public) may have been being choked to death by Vader (via the force) in The Empire Strikes Back. RIP, Mr. Culver...

    Paul Alexander of Dallas, Texas, has died at the age of 78. He contracted polio as a child, which resulted in his being paralyzed from the neck down, and at age six was placed in an iron lung, where he spent the next 72 years of his life. That gained him an entry in the Guinness Book of World...

    TV Shows?

    It was indeed about the Korean War (mostly the tragedy of war and its impact on so many lives), and thus was set in Korea (mostly South Korea, but I think at least a couple of episodes might have had some scenes set in North Korea) during 1950-1953. It was staged and filmed in and around...

    The Water Heater Thread

    Efficiency is only part of the equation. We live under PG&E rule and their rates (both electric and gas) are outrageous. With solar, electric is now basically free, so the loss in efficiency is way down the priority list. Electric water heaters have improved as well, so their recovery rates are...

    The Water Heater Thread

    Hi, folks. Since this is now the "Early Bird" forum with presumably lots of early adopters of technology, perhaps that carries over elsewhere. ;) In any event I know there are a lot of very knowledgeable people here, and to be honest I tend to trust some folks here rather than on generic forums...

    Some say that if a wild animal is coming at you and there’s nowhere to get away, then make yourself as big and noisy as you can. If there’s more than one of you, so much the better. At least sometimes it works, although there are memories, some more tangible than others…
