Maintenance is needed, but it is often scheduled so that only a small fraction of capacity is offline for that reason.
If you've got 10 100MW plants that need to be down for maintenance for 10% of the time, the safe and smart way is one down at a time. Or perhaps 2 or 3 down during KNOWN low load times (when safe to do so), so you can have none down during peak load. Most maintenance can be scheduled somewhat flexibly.
The insane way is bring as many of them down at once as you can and hope there isn't a demand spike. That doesn't gain you anything, even if you do it when fuel is expensive, since you will need to buy X gallons of fuel at whatever price to keep supplying all the demand. Doing it to cause a price spike is unconcionable, do it and not having enough power and causing blackouts is criminal and a threat to our nation's security.
Letting it switch in and out of overdrive would likely have been worse.
Transmissions are unreliable in general, but having the engine side go faster shouldn't hurt, in fact, the tranny fluid should get pumped faster and it should stay cooler, and heat kills transmissions. 6 years isn't too bad.
They advise never towing in overdrive for that reason. Lower gears are easier on it, and shifting is hard on them, because of slipping during engage/disengage, the overly soft "comfort" shifting is bad too, upping the transmission line pressure and living with the firm shifts is said to be better. Many trannys will increase line pressure and firm up the shifts if it detects too much slip, to save the tranny from failing.
Also, if your brakes fade or fail on a hill because you didn't lower your gear, you won't have to worry about getting a new tranny, you'll have to worry about getting a new car, or perhaps nothing at all since you won't be around anymore. Runaway trucks often happen because they didn't gear down and it can and does happen in cars.
Lowering the gear is a good idea at times.
If you did much of your hauling in overdrive, that might've killed your tranny, or it just might've been its lifetime considering the load it was under.
Don't haul or tow in overdrive, unless you know your car is able to do it.
If Hillary gets elected, hopefully it will be illegal to not provide benefits.
Otherwise people die from lack of care, or the taxpayers pay for it anyway because they (mis)use the emergency room, which raises delays, costs and risks for all.
Not having universal health care (mandated for employers, state provided with unemployment) is that mark of a 3rd world country.
Sweden, Finland and Denmark can do it, and the US has far more people and natural resources and money, so we can surely do it too. Yeah, people bringing home $200K/yr after taxes might get cut down to "only" $180K/yr. Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it!
There generally is no obligation to report a crime.
Huh?
Misprision of felony, accessory after the fact, obstruction of justice, these are just the ones I could think off off the top of my head, and I'm not in the legal or law enforcement system. I'm sure people who are and put some time into it could come up with a much bigger list.
The first crime for sure, the second quite likely, and the third above quite possibly in your example.
Because we know commercial software has stable UIs.
Try to use a new version Microsoft Word lately? Just figuring out such advanced operations is loading, saving and printing files is now extremely hard and counterintuitive due to the stupid ribbon thing.
It might be because -as an old teacher of me used to say, well fed happy people don't tend to go for the revolution so much, or it might be because Palestinians are such evilesque souls they just can't avoid it.
Osama Bin Laden was extremely rich, with huge inheritances and oil fortunes and had a strong education as an engineer.
Just the name alone will scare people. IRSeeK: it has IRS in caps. IRS = Internal Revenue Service, i.e. the US tax agency (people outside the US might not know why that acronym inspires dread in many).
Not the other way around, which is what you'd be concerned about.
So if YOU get denied, it is likely due to us deciding to do to Canada what they do to us. I hope that doesn't happen, but if you want it to not happen, try to get Canada's policy changed. It is so infamous, it is on the travel.state.gov website advisories page. That whole "if it could be an indictable offense in Canada, we'll treat it like it was, i.e. like a felony would be in the US, and deny entry unless you get a waiver from the Prime Minister or something".
Also, you shouldn't have had a lawyer, since if your license was suspended for 15 months on a single DUI (I'm assuming) you wasted your money on legal fees because you didn't get jack for your money. You could've gotten the same "deal" on your own.
As the article said, they are targetting teens and early 20s - guess us old geezers won't have much content for us. Oh well. Welcome to the new society - heck what was the name of that book where people are killed at age 30?

Good you posted as anonymous, since everyone is going to be calling you a crackpot for daring to question the sacred cow of physics.
Yeah you can. Just strap a JATO to it and you'll have the most exciting time of your life.
I'm glad it is a hoax, but it is sad that the state of the world is such that it is believable.
P.S. Reminds me of the "Student suspended for using PHP" bbSpot "story". Funny thing is, is that there really is a drug called PHP.
http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/pubs/scheduling.html
It's the first one there. " 1-(1-Phenylcyclohexyl)pyrrolidine 7458 N PCPy, PHP, rolicyclidine", some kind of PCP analogue ironically enough.
Did you also no IT workers are exempt from Federal overtime rules if they make more then about 28 bucks an hour?
Are they also exempt from grammar rules?

3 years? You are lucky. Batteries for gas cars don't last more than 2 years in some places (e.g. Las Vegas).
50 miles in a day isn't unusual for a busy day here. I've had to do 100 miles in a day on a couple of occasions, without leaving the Las Vegas Valley.
Also, what about road trips?
They really need to increase the range of electric vehicles, before people will buy them.

Sprint Samsung A740's seem to have no features turned off.
If you use non-Sprint content, it gives you a warning and a dialog box that I believe defaults to not continue.

Not to say our rules aren't ridiculous sometimes, but when it comes to DUI and excluding entry, Canada's policy is strict and infamous. They exclude for all sorts of old arrests.
