Don't you understand? Disney's ability to take now-important cultural artifacts and lock them in their "vault" until they develop enough value to sell briefly again is for the artists who got their cut when it was made and won't see a dime of the new profits, so they keep making things, well past their decomposition.
Find a store that caters to hunters or people who work out doors, not the sporting good chains that cater to rich well to do people who like to bring all the modern conveniences to the woods. Either that or go to any store in the frozen upper Midwest in the winter.
Apparently, to some developers, this means I don't take my job seriously and I shouldn't be in the industry because I'm not spending every moment living and breathing code.
Probably not to other developers but to wothless HR people yes.
Late 30's is doable if done right and is what my cousin is planning on but in the army. The plan is as follows:
1. Join the national guard at age 17 (requires parents permission)
2. When entering college in a year go into ROTC (you are still in the national guard, and get a boost in rank)
3. Upon graduating college you have 5 years in the military already
4. Since there are often more people in ROTC than there are commissions available having 5 years of military experience helps getting you that first commission
5. Start your progress up the officer track for the next 15 years
6. Profit and retire as an officer at age 37.
Not really. The range and power of internal combustion engines progressed much faster from about 1910 to 1920 than that of electric vehicles. The reason for gasoline and diesel instead of alcohol as a fuel for internal combustion engines was the cheap abundant oil.
Development basically stopped on steam and electric vehicles when the performance, range, and convenience of gasoline and diesel vehicles started to rapidly outstrip steam and electrics. People have continued to tinker and work on developing electric cars but battery technology didn't progress as fast as developments for the internal combustion engine. A reasonable summary of the demise of non internal combustion vehicles in the first part of the 20th century can be found on the Stanley Steamer wikipedia page and is also applicable to electric vehicles of the time.
Why buy a fleet of special purpose vehicles when they probably already have a fleet of regular large dump trucks that could be fitted with a plow and salt/sand spreader.
Well most of the plow trucks here they take the plows and salt spreaders off in the summer for road construction when they haul materials for that. The good old orange MN DOT trucks.
Couldn't agree more. Although mine usually only make it ~3 years but I do drive a lot. Also paying for a set of steel rims to have them permanently mounted on instead of have to get the summer and winter tires mounted when you want to change them pays for it self after the second year. Although maybe I should go and buy some tires in ND since the best I can seem to do is about $120 each for nice snow and ice tires.
And when I was in school it was possible for school to be canceled when walking to the bus stop. I was the first stop and it took about 5 minutes to get there and the district I was in was always one of the last to cancel class (they miss out on state money if they do). Then again about the only time school was canceled was when it was too cold for the buses to start or there was too much snow for them to drive in.
Depends on how you drive and how much you push the limits. The summer sport tires offer better handling but if you aren't having fun on cloverleafs you probably wouldn't notice under regular driving conditions. The difference between winter tires and all season are night and day though in the snow and on ice with sport tires being completely worthless. Then again where I live snow tires can stay on for close to 6 months so I figured why compromise and have some nice Dunlop sport tires on fatter aluminum rims for the summer and some Canadian made snow tires (really soft tread with a chunky aggressive pattern) on skinny steel rims.
Most of the elected represenititives need a bit of encouragement. Let your member of the US house know you would like them to support theses efforts. Also do the same for your senators.
And sorry, but religion has no place whatsoever in the public school system, so I am fully supportive of schools that ban citation of Bible verses in school, just as I'd support the banning of teach of Torah, Qu'ran, or whatever in the public school system outside of a comparative religion course.
I disagree. It does have a place in public schools, even outside a comparative religion class, just not in science class. A proper western civilization class, ancient history class, medieval history class, or humanities class should also be bringing up the major religions of the period as it adds to the understanding of the period. Take medieval European humanities, most of the great works of art, architecture, and literature from that period were inspired by or patroned by Christianity (Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox), and don't forget the Moorish influence in the Iberian peninsula or the Norse influences in northern Europe.
I would say one good metric for determining a bad teacher is if they don't know the subject matter they are teaching. My 7th grade science teacher was a great example of this as she was regularly out smarted by the low kids. Some of her wonderful insights were that it takes 70% more energy to recycle aluminum than it does to make new aluminum from ore, and that if all people on earth died it would be a large fraction of the mass of the earth that disappeared.
Verizon advertises FIOS for our area but if you try to subscribe you'll be told they don't offer it in our town.
Sounds like it might be fun to see if you can get some money from them for false advertising or see if you can have them forced (by a judge) to provide what was advertised.
So in reading that little article it looks like the actual cash giveaways from government to the entire fossil fuel industry worldwide by all governments are ~$300 billion. The quoted 1.3 trillion subsidy would seem to be a rather made up number, to quote the article:
The largest contributor to the subsidies is the failure to properly price carbon pollution, costing a little over $1 trillion.
Then there is this little tid bit about how to correct this situation and the subsidy from the US:
According to CleanTechnica, the IMF has estimated that in order for the US to correct the situation, it will need to setup a new system of fees, levies, and taxes that will cost more than $500 billion a year.
But earlier in the article they quoted the United States subsidy as being about ~$502 billion.

I believe what you are looking for in this case are trademarks.

FTFY

No for General Jack Ripper to be involved we would have to the CRM-114 discriminator code to O P E
Not really. The range and power of internal combustion engines progressed much faster from about 1910 to 1920 than that of electric vehicles. The reason for gasoline and diesel instead of alcohol as a fuel for internal combustion engines was the cheap abundant oil.
Some were lead-acid but another popular battery chemistry used was nickle-iron that Edison wanted used for electric vehicles.

Another win for for my MG Midget as well.
Since this is coming out of the EU lets hope the module is made by Lucas Electric.

I usually prefer:
Even though 4WD doubles your traction doubling almost nothing (you are on ice) still means you have almost nothing for traction.
Well most of the plow trucks here they take the plows and salt spreaders off in the summer for road construction when they haul materials for that. The good old orange MN DOT trucks.

And we respond back by making fun you when your temps are in the 40s and everyone digs out the winter parka .

Not to mention that "Alcohol, tobacco and firearms" is more a name for a store than anything else!
Deer camp or a good weekend works as well.

But as far as I'm aware, we've never so much as synthesized even a single-celled organism from "primordial soup,"
There is a difference between abiogenesis and evolution.

We talk about sexuality and its the damn American influence that prevents us from being a nudist paradise.
I thought that was because your country is one of the few places that is colder than the state I live in, that and horse flies.
