Have you ever heard, that storing a battery on cement will kill the battery?
My mother in law tells me, to put a board under the battery.

Yes I've heard it from people all my life. I even believed it many years ago. I had a friend who would find a piece of wood and put it under my batteries if they were on the concrete  . LOL. The logic is that concrete is a good conductor and therefore somehow drain the battery.
I asked him why the batteries don't drain when they are on an even better conductor?.. the steel in your car.

Of course he didn't have an answer. I read somewhere that WAY back when batteries were first made they used some thing other than plastic.. And that type of material actually did conduct some electricity therefor putting a battery on the ground did indeed drain a battery.

I heard they made the batteries in a wooden box. There was some issue with moisture from cement effecting the wood. (I googled it years ago, when she told me that)

"batteries in a wooden box".Um , let me think. OK.... NO!

 
Car batteries used to be encased in hard rubber, a substance that was porous enough that battery acid could seep through it and create a conductive path through the damp concrete, draining the battery. The cases of today’s batteries, however, are made of sturdier stuff that far better contains their contents than those of yesteryear. As well, time has brought technological improvements to the seals around the posts and the vent systems.

These days, the problem of car battery electrolyte seepage and migration has been all but eliminated. Says battery manufacturer Yuasa, “Nowadays, containers are made from a solid plastic that does not allow any current to flow through it, so the batteries do not discharge, even if they sit in a few inches of water.”

Quote:However, this legend is historically based in fact. The first lead-acid batteries consisted of glass cells that were enclosed in tar-lined wooden boxes. A damp concrete floor could cause the wood to swell, breaking the glass inside

Opening a Nude club in Medford Or. - $100 (Medford/Central Point)


go--fund--me(dot)com/nude-club-in-Medford


Hey Guys, So I discovered a loophole allowing a nude club to be easily and cheaply opened for business within Jackson County. I have spent several years doing the research on this and have heard the same thing over and over again; Yes, I discovered a loophole allowing a new nude club to be opened very very cheaply within Jackson County.

I've been scouting some spots and found an excellent place perfectly fit for what we want to do in White City, close to the VA and just an excellent local for this idea.

I've hit a brick wall and am just about out of funding. I have however set up an LLC and am ready to acquire the business license.

I'm looking for a few small investors who want to help see a project like this get off the ground.

I'm looking for a some talented low level investors who want to get in on the ground floor of the Rogue Valleys Newest and Hottest Nude Female Dance Club.

I already have a couple of Medfords Sexiest Ladies lined up saying "Yeah they'll do it.." like I said its not a "strip club" its very tasteful and very funny business plan once you learn what this loophole is.

-----
We will offer a lifetime membership and lifetime free door entry to the first 100 people to donate over 100 dollars on our go fund me page

So guys, long story short, this could be the best $100 you've ever spent!! Lets make this happen!!

Kind of a side issue but......  There are NO alcohol sales within a specified distance from the VA.  Just sayin'..... A strip club with no booze?

I think the closest place the folks from the DOM can go get a beer is Lings or Bobbios.

The sound is just fine. But when we watch movies on the 500 channels which is HBO showtime and other premiere channels.
The sound is different. It's a lot harder to understand someone who is talking. It's like too much base or whatever.
We noticed this on our old TV so we bought a sound bar, Now we have a brand new TV and without the using the sound bar it's still the same.
And when we use the sound bar we STILL have to turn it WAY up if we ever want to understand Captain Flynn or Long John silver.
Has anyone else noticed this?

I HAVE noticed that a lot of TV sounds that way to me.  Turns out, I have about 50% hearing loss in the upper treble levels.  Hearing tests are free.

Free and I'm going to take a test one of these days. But that doesn't explain why neither my wife or I have any trouble hearing on the lower channels.

I am in agreement! Some channels I heard fine as well.  I was just letting you know how I solved it.  It really worked for me on those channels that I had to turn up for dialogue.  Another telltale sign is when it seems like women and children are mumbling.
