Earlier this year I saw a report that concluded that troubled sleep
from even minimal light sources could have major effects on the
health of people.
They even recommended dark colored pillow slips and sheets, let alone
eliminating night lights, lighted clock displays etc.
This might explain some of your problems...such as needing Valium
before a somewhat simple dental procedures.

Do you keep your house totally dark at night?

You kinda skipped over that question.

Darkness hides his reality.

It's weird, these guys are so hard up to "better" someone they get
narrow vision.. As if the night light can't be in the kitchen or the
lav, no where near the sleep area... Anyway, I sleep with the tv on,
have for 50 years. Guess it's something else that's gonna' kill me

pro-birth.

OK you have done everything but answer the question, is hunting an
invasive exotic like wild hogs a sport or a public service?

I'll chime in here since I know you're not going to get an answer from
our favorite "evasive species".

I think it's both a sport *and* a public service.

Too bad there's no season on asshats.

It is still hunting. Hog hunting may be the most popular hunting we

What's the gun of choice for hog hunting?

One thing about switch mode supplies ... there are many types and
selection is dependent on application. Like everything their design is
a compromise between performance, cost and other operating parameters.

I think many run at converted frequencies of 50khz and higher, depending
on application.

Higher frequencies are more efficient up to a point. Radiated EFI
noise becomes a bigger issue however, although now that Loran-C is
dead, that's less of a concern on boats.

I had a heavy duty alternator on one of my old sail boats that was so
electrically noisy that I had to install a field coil disconnect
switch so that I could get an accurate Loran fix. No amount of
filtering would help.

It does sound like you are saying homeless people could corner a fawn
in your neighborhood, beat it to death with baseball bats and that
would be OK if they were hungry enough.

You are trying much too hard.

I am just trying to figure out where the line is drawn with you. Is it
only that you do not like the idea of anyone on Rec Boats doing
something you don't do?
You have created this straw man of subsistence hunting but you don't
seem to be able to define it. Wouldn't a homeless person killing a
deer for food be subsistence?
Why isn't Tim doing it OK if he is eating the deer?

I assume fishing is morally repugnant to you too?

I don't do either one so I don't really have a dog in the fight but I
am curious about the rules.

Nope, homeless person is breaking the law. We have problems with homeless
encampments in San Jose, who use grocery carts to trap endangered salmon
going up the Guadalupe to spawn. That OK because they are homeless?




You're confusing "legality" with morality. Let me offer an analogy. When
the founders wrote and enacted the U.S. Constitution, they left the
document silent on the issue of slavery. Because of that, slavery
remained legal in the south. Legal, but not moral. The founders
deliberately sidestepped the issue, even though by doing so they were morally wrong.

I don't have moral issues with a hungry person with no other means to
obtain meat-fish-poultry breaking the law by poaching an animal for his
fire and table. *That* is subsistence hunting/fishing. The legality of it
is an entirely separate issue.

If you have hungry homeless people in encampments in San Jose, and these
people cannot get food stamps or reasonably get to stores, then I am not
offended by their poaching salmon. If they all can get to stores easily
and have legal ways to buy enough decent food there, then there is no
reason for them to poach, is there...




With the welfare net in California, those homeless get big bucks. Instead
of spending on home or other worthwhile items, they prefer to set up an
encampment with no sanitary facilities, and poach endangered fish, and
spend money on drugs and alcohol.
