I was being sarcastic. Do they not have that in Holland? (BTW, great country, lovely people, great tulips)
Wait, are you Belgian? (same thing only substitute waffles and tin-tin).

Dunno. Holland is a long walk from here.

A more open and connected world is a better world. It brings stronger relationships with those you love, a stronger economy with more opportunities, and a stronger society that reflects all of our values.
Facebook does not build relationships or community or values. The guy has no idea what those words mean.

I thought like you did, but this year I created a profile on LinkedIn, followed by Twitter and more recently Facebook.
Yes, I have turned to the dark side.
The good part is I made some new contacts, got some new professional opportunities, I got in touch with friends from high school (and we still get along).
So I'm not sorry

Personally, I only use it to send birthday/holiday greetings to a few of those billions of people. My wife however is one of those iPad zombies who relaxes by endlessly browsing farcebook, twitter, etc. all the while watching re-runs of HGTV series or some other nonsense. That iPad was a great investment!

After reading his post and the replies to his post, I have determined that Facebook is actually a cult/sec and Mark is the leader. Soon the FBI will be raiding the compound, a firefight will ensue, and then we can all go back to our normal broadcasting.

Anyone has a recommendation for a car battery charger or jump starter aside from keeping the jump start cables in the car? Looking to see what's new and doesn't itself need charging often. Otherwise, I'll be stuck in a recursive loop.

I prefer a second vehicle, and a set of jump leads.
I used to have one of those "portable battery packs" which was a charger and a battery for instant starts, but unless you leave it on trickle charge permanently (which is a bad idea) it was always too flat to do anything useful when I needed it.
Or get an electric car.
Then you will be used to having to walk anyway...because the whole car is always on charge!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm used to the other vehicle approach. I was just wondering if there's new technology, that doesn't rely on another vehicle, that I'm missing.

The one I have still self-tests as good after a year in the trunk. Naturally though, I've never needed a jump since I bought it a decade ago. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

A number of years ago I used my Charger (as in, Dodge) to boost a co-worker's Prius.
Puns ensued.

Anything that doesn't rely on another car.

The battery packs shown, by definition, do not rely upon another car. Otherwise, what would be the point? You'd be using the second car's battery.

If you going to have to replace the battery why not look at something like Super Cap Battery[^] if it's just a case of your car is sitting for a long time then something like Solar charger[^] which I've used and works.

Thanks! Don't need the battery replaced. Kept my car in my office garage for four days and the battery died. Was able to get a jump start and it worked. Was looking for alternative approaches that work indoors and outdoors.

If sitting for 4 days kills your battery... you really might need it replaced.
|
|
|
|
|
Er, buy a new battery. Get your alternator checked. Buy a new car.
|
|
|
|
|
Yep, buy a new battery, or even a used one if you want to be cheap.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Solar panels on the roof maybe?

The best solution is to carry a set of cables. How often can you NOT find another vehicle for a jump?
The next best solution is just carry a 2nd battery! It is about the same price as any of those other options, it is the same size... but with the exception that once you install it, you don't need to get a new battery anymore!
