Looks like no more than about $70 because other wise I will just pound a slotted screw drive into the lock and attach a pair of vice grips to the screw drive and shear the pins in the tumbler. Then again I wouldn't buy a smart lock either.
Do not underestimate grandmothers, granted some of the younger ones now days maybe, but those who grew up in the depression actually have skills. My grandmother plays the sweet old grandma who is into sewing, knitting, house plants, and cooking most of the time but over the years you find out that she can handle herself just fine around tools, machines, firearms, and wild animals as well.
needs a YouTube video to help them change a lightbulb
Hey I've done that, granted it was for a light on the interior of my car and I didn't want to destroy anything as the little friction clips used provided a lot more friction than I thought they would have. So given that I wanted to see if there was some dumb little thing I was missing, like slip a slotted screw drive in to press a tab in or something, so that I would only be putting in a $2 bulb instead of putting a whole new light enclosure that would cost $150.
I have a billion dollar note sitting on my desk from them.
You are but a mere peasant I have on of the 100 trillion dollar bills. Although I still need to find one of these as 100,000,000,000,000 just doesn't compare to 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 even if there aren't that many 0s on the pengo note.
I personally like the ballots in MN. they are a scantron style sheet that you fill out with a black permanent marker. They can be read by a simple scantron machine and provide that nice human readable form that can be easily rechecked by hand. Here is a sample one for the upcoming primary next week if anyone is curious. The last time there was an election I was curious what would happen if someone spoiled their ballot so after I filled in a few spots I went up to an election judge and said that I had spoiled my ballot and they voided it and put in an envelope for spoiled ballots and gave me a new one.
What's the difference between a legitimate packet and an illegitimate one? How will MS', Apple's, and Google's operating systems distinguish between them in order to decide which to reject and which to accept?
Easy RFC3514 provides an unambiguous method of doing so.
Personally I think going into a movie with the right expectations is key. I also like Coneheads and Mars Attacks for what they were, man it has been a long time since I have seen either of them, I also liked The Expendables for what it was. Yes it was a giant cliche with a plot shallower than my kids inflatable pool but it did deliver on the over the top action movie brain melt. These movies are not on par with films like The Last Emperor, The Usual Suspects, The Godfather, GATTACA, Dr. Strangelove, etc. but then I go into films like those with completely different expectations.
Hey sometimes paying interest is the cheaper option. When I bought my current car I took out a loan because I was waiting for the money to hit my US checking account from an overseas asset sale. So instead of driving my gas hog of a jeep (seriously it got shitty mileage at 20mpg on a good day) it was cheaper for me to get a loan and pay it off 8 day later than pay for the extra gas to drive the jeep over the car I bought.
What is it about Gartner that conveys Pope-level infallibility? Seriously people, these reports are written by 26 year old MBAs with a tiny bit of tech background...
I believe that you answered your own question for MBAs by MBAs.
It's actually pretty damned good to have people who think they are God incarnate have someone whisper in their ear to remind them that they too are mortal. Do you have any better ideas?
Reminds me of something that was written on a sarcophagus in Caesarea:
no man is immortal and that is the essence of life...
The sarcophagus held the husband and the inscription was from the wife.
Good job on donating. I have only recently passed the 5 gallon mark (I give a pint ever 2 months as it is easier to remember). Fortunately or unfortunately my blood type is O- so I am universal donor and my blood is always needed but supplies are always limited so if I need blood I might be screwed. As an added bonus I need to give blood as hemochromatosis runs very strong in my family and I have high but not problematic iron levels. If I were to develop hemochromatosis the treatment is getting some of your blood drained but in that case the blood isn't good for donating as the iron levels are too high so instead I view donating blood as a preventative measure with added benefits.
Let us say you had a lab in Frankfurt wanting to have a 5 year collab on a subject, and they have the choice between an UK lab and a swedisch one. Which one do you think would be safe form them to take ?
That is easy, even before brexit, go with the Swedes. They have better teeth plus there is always this.
If done in non swing states, like Minnesota or California are going republican, you could have a breakdown like that (maybe not quite like that) but still end up with a clear electoral college victory. An election like that would also make it very clear that people are unhappy with things and we would likely see some real change.
Well if it stirs the pot some maybe we can find a better equilibrium that the current shit fest we currently have. Both parties are full of statists who want to curtail individual rights, it is just a question of which ones you want to give up.
Hell I would like to see a 27%, 25%, 24%, 24% split or something similar with the Greens and the Libertarians thrown in there. Really make the 2 major parties realize that they suck and people don't want what they are selling. while I know this won't happen one can dream.
True but in states like Minnesota if you aren't voting for Clinton you are wasting your vote so why not vote 3rd party, it isn't like this state is going to go Republican. Similar with Texas, California, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and all the other safe states that go overwhelmingly for one party over another. I would love to see an election where the winning presidential candidate only gets like 27% of the vote.
I have found them useful when dissembling things on cars since some times there are the little weird motions needed to get something out that just don't come through clearly in other forms, but that is fairly rare.

Then I say we need this as an Emoji.
Are you saying we need a Bricktop Emoji?

Depends on how they are culled. If they are done for in a spectacular and permanent way then others would think twice before starting such practice.
There are only 40 call centers, gasoline is fairly inexpensive and there seems to be an excess of styrofoam around that no one can't get rid of

That's almost old enough to drink.
