As an ex-firefighter, courtesy of a fall, I can tell you that it happens much more often than you would think. The most common reason for a second house to catch fire is being too close and having asphalt shingles but only because asphalt is much more common than cedar shake. There is a damn good reason cedar shake shingles are outlawed in many jurisdictions.
Sure, store a couple of bundles in your shed that gets hot enough to melt the little adhesive dots on the back of the shingles so that bundle of individual shingles becomes one single massive shingle. Go ahead and try using that bundle after five years in the shed. Speaking from experience here in lovely Colorado, home of massive hail storms.
This I don't get, every other computing device has come down in price but top of the line Android tablets have increased in price. My Toshiba 10.1 cost $300 four years ago, today a name brand 10" tablet will cost $400-$500 and have less functionality. The Toshiba has a full sized SD card slot, try finding that on a tablet today.
The SD card slot is perfect for previewing photos in the field. Damn near every DSLR uses SD card storage, pop the card into the Toshiba and fire up Droid RAW and I can preview my photos on a decent 10"screen instead of the tiny built in screen on the camera.
Except that person that boards the "Democrat" bus is under no obligation to vote for any specific candidate or party. Do the bus providers hope you vote for their candidate, sure do, but they do not ask who you are supporting before boarding the bus and they don't ask you to provide a "selfie" afterwards proving who you voted for.
Cannot vote Libertarian for the following reason: -- The Environment-- property rights being enforced before the '60s is one of the biggest reasons our skies and rivers were so polluted before the EPA came into existence.
For anyone who was old enough to pay attention during the late 60s/early 70s you have to remember the smog over major cities, a river that could burn and Lake Erie dying. The regulations promulgated by the EPA resulted in much cleaner air, rivers and lakes.
In 1977 may father paid $25 per month for a single line plus any long distance fees (average $45 per month with three teenager in the house) and no access to any on-line stuff because it did not exist. He also paid about.$0.45 per gallon of gas.
Today I pay $150 per month for four phones with unlimited long distance and shared 15GB of data. I pay $2.50 for a gallon of gas. The phone has tripled while gas is five times as expensive. When compared to other items the price of phone service has declined not risen.
Actually once given immunity for a specific reason you cannot then plead the fifth for any actions related to that reason, you can plead the fifth for unrelated actions.
The whole point of a PROSECUTOR granting immunity is so the individual cannot plead the fifth.
Meanwhile... The IRS targets individuals because they don't follow the correct political views. Peter Thiel is investigated by department of Labor because he supports Trump.
The facts show that only 1/3 of the 501c4 organizations questioned were classified as conservative. http://www.theatlantic.com/pol...
So, since Peter Thiel is a conservative you think he shouldn't be investigated?
Were they prosecuted for less or offered a plea deal with only the less serious details revealed to protect additional classified information? Happens all the time, the individual will threaten to reveal more information in open court if prosecuted fully.
The DoD definitely does all it can to conceal the details of security incidents.
Are we sure that elected officials and appointed members of the administration are required to sign an NDA?
I do know that they are investigated the same as anyone seeking a security clearance, not so sure they are required to sign the NDA. FYI, I have signed the NDA and have served as a Security Manager in the military.
Where do they get the NFL season pass if they aren't subscribing to DirectTV? I thought it was only available to students at university and DirectTV subs.
The engineering might have been good but Lucas was and is infamous for low quality parts on the TR series. Jaguar and Land Rover are also notorious for electrical problems, power windows and seats especially.
By your definition a bullet is autonomous. once an ICBM is launched or a JDAM is released you cannot change its target. Just like a bullet.
A truly autonomous weapon is capable of evaluating the on-going/changing situation and selecting the best target and attacking it, none of your examples is capable of this.
Plus many times materials will be cost plus and labor fixed price.
For example, I have worked to upgrade the network infrastructure at numerous small sites. We don't get to do a site survey before bidding so the materials, which vary a lot will be cost plus, and we only make a minimal on the hardware, and the labor is fixed price.
As to drones, a significant portion of the AF is fighting them, pilots like flying and with more drones you get fewer seats for the pilots to sit in. Guess what the majority of the generals did as young officers, bingo they flew fighters.
Once you get to be a Colonel you rarely fly but the ex-flyers are the ones that get promoted most often. Hell even a couple of the Cyber commanders were fighter pilots. You read that right not Computer guys but fighter pilots.
All the base level Fab shops are shutdown, manpower cuts. Fab work is done at depot or outsourced to contractor facilities. Sucks when you are in-country.
The A-10 is a simple, single purpose bird. Really good at one job, destroying ground vehicles. The Army tries to tell us that the choppers are just as good until you tell them they aren't getting any A-10 air support. The USAF has never been fond of the close air support mission, not very glamorous.
The bean counters always think a multi-purpose bird makes fiscal sense, that is until you actually try to build one. It works better to build a single purpose aircraft, the F-15 comes to mind then modify the basic airframe for other missions. AKA the F-15E.

The solar installation on the Air Force Academy seems to deal with their frequent hailstorms quite well. I know different technology but still.
Springs resident here also.
. And people are really nice, unlike the people where I was in New England, who are insular, judgmental assholes.
Yep, Maine does have a few of those but South Carolina wins.

Jimmy Carter was probably the most honorable major party candidate but your point is well taken.
I personally think he was mis-guided but Goldwater had his principles and stood by them, you have to admire him for that.
Most of what she has supposedly "Done" are outright fabrications.
How many "investigations" have to come up empty before you admit that there is no fire behind the smoke that Republicans call Benghazi?
Clinton Foundation is shown to have average overhead expenses.
Etc.

So you are saying the following are shilling for Clinton:
- Fox News
- Breitbart
- EIB (Rush Limbaugh)
- Wall Street Journal
- New York Post
- Forbes
I could go on but you get the point.
Think about this for a minute:
In 1977 may father paid $25 per month for a single line plus any long distance fees (average $45 per month with three teenager in the house) and no access to any on-line stuff because it did not exist. He also paid about .$0.45 per gallon of gas.

So you are saying Trump is better at hiring lairs and cheaters than Hillary?

The vast majority of traffic law is not classified as criminal, those parts that are classified as criminal usually take intent into account.
Were they prosecuted for less or offered a plea deal with only the less serious details revealed to protect additional classified information? Happens all the time, the individual will threaten to reveal more information in open court if prosecuted fully.

So, you are saying maybe the F-35 isn't quite the money pit the detractors claim?
I am not a fan of multi-role/multi-service aircraft in general, jack of all trades/master of none kind of thing.

You are using the UK as an example of a place that can design electrical systems for cars, I have a TR-6 in the garage that would like to talk to you.
The Germans designed some of the worst carburetors know to man, look under the hood of an Opel GT some time.
And the French, Peugeot owners would like to talk to you.
GM and Ford have their issues but so do most of the Europeans.
