Bunch of techniques. There's planes with a big inductive loop around them that fly low and find.. magnetic ores, i suppose?
core samples, etc.
Only mine I've been to is 1km underground, and has been operating since the 60's or so... not sure how they discovered it back then. A thousand metres of dirt seems nuts, when I think about it.
The merchant usually gets a ~2% haircut for the privilege of using visa/mastercard.
So while it doesn't show up as a line item, you do pay it via higher prices at stores. (and at stores without a 'cash discount', you end up paying it even if you dont use credit).
If you show me you need it, I'll let you have credit, I'm a jolly banker, jolly banker am I. Just bring me back two for the one I lend you, Singin' I'm jolly banker, jolly banker am I....
When the bugs get your cotton, the times they are rotten, I'm jolly banker, jolly banker am I. I'll come down and help you, I'll rake you and scalp you, Singin' I'm jolly banker, jolly banker am I.
The original conversion from fuel/heat to electricity is quite lossy, so unless the heatpump is... 2-300% efficient vs. resistance heating, it would be a net loss over burning the fuel on site, I would think.
Some power plants also pump steam to residences for heating, so... I would think that is considerably more efficient, otherwise they wouldn't do it? Maybe not..
This seems pretty weird to me - had the guy been drunk, he'd certainly got a much stiffer punishment.
However - the guy is sober, and still decides to do something as idiotic as texting while manoeuvring over a ton of steel, and gets fuck all... Kind of pathetic.
This is why they have harsh punishment for drunk driving, it can lead to results like this. So he gets the result without being drunk, and gets less punishment than driving drunk and not hitting anything. Good job justice.
There's a serious disconnect between punishment for drunk driving, vs. texting, reckless, etc, when they are all dangerous.
Why search the 120 units? Just wait until the phone moves somewhere that is less populated. Or perhaps moves to several populated places, and then cross-reference them.
Many sets were already hybrid or entirely solid state by '75.
GE kept making the portacolor until 1980 or so, but it was the last of the tubed sets (In North America anyway - I imagine Soviet sets were still tube for a while yet, but maybe not). I presume GE just rode out the existing tooling, and when the portacolors finally quit turning a profit/selling they tooled up for more SS sets (or got undercut by Japanese SS sets, either way)...
Though as I've mentioned earlier in this thread, any TV with a CRT isn't technically solid state - the CRT is a vacuum tube, too.
Yep, Zenith 'Space Commander' used the ultrasonic chimes system, like this. I believe it was just a single frequency per button, nothing fancy, so little protection against ambient racket.
A neat side effect was the channel would change when your wife dropped pots and pans in the kitchen. (Hey, this was the 50's.)
For me it's more... when you only had physical 'watchers', there was some amount of privacy via lack of manpower.
However, once it's electronic, there can really be no end to it, and there can be many installations. Then computers can then use the data to map out everything you do, something that couldn't be done in the past without the 'suspect' (victim?) noticing they were being tailed. The other thing is once the system is up, the only difference between tracking suspects or parolees and everyone, is processing power.
Maybe it's a bit of a slippery slope fallacy. Seems to me if it's important enough, put a few agents out there and scan the plates manually. Might help the unemployment numbers too. It would probably end up being cheaper than whatever no bid contract they pay for the limited system would cost, and would keep it limited.
Why don't we have that here?? Aah, spicy pepperoni, cheese and marinara sauce. Do want.
There are two kinds of pepperoni in North America. One is a semi-dry delicious salami, mildly spicy generally. This is delicious.
The other is the kind that shitty pizza joints and most places that make ersatz-pizza (like pizza subs) use. It's like bologna with a bit of spice. Salami just shouldn't be wet... Disgusting. Typical bullshit people will eat here - I'd rather pay a few cents more for actual meat. I guess it's like everything else here, bigger, cheaper, shittier. 4000sqft mansions made out of paper and sticks, American "cheese", hotdogs, Budweiser, etc.
Side note, I learned pepperoni is an americanism when I went to Italy when I was a kid. My dad and I had argued over whether to order salami or peperoni pizza, and I opted for the latter - which turned out to be sweet peppers. I had a stomach ache the whole next day. (oddly, peppers no longer do this to me.. hmm).
Moscow metro is like they describe, a centre core, and legs out in all directions. However, there is a larger ring, outside the 'natural core' that is caused by crossing lines.
The (presumably apocryphal) story goes that... The designers brought the plans for the Metro expansion to Stalin. He had set a coffee cup on it, and left a coffee ring around the centre. None of the engineers were willing to go against what could be perceived as Stalin's 'edit', so the coffee ring was built.
(It's always coloured brown, on maps of the metro. It's kind of cute...)
Suppose they are dumbdfounded why the generic 'phone' symbol is usually a Western Electric model 500 too. (or sometimes it's just the handset / headpiece part of this phone - "type G") [in north america at least] - or a bell for that matter.
They won't know why the fuck we "dial" a number, either. What a goofy story. Most words come from prior generations as always, these are just 'visual' words with a back-story (that may or may not be known).
"It's particularly important for Congress to provide meaningful liability protection to those companies now facing multibillion-dollar lawsuits only because they are believed to have assisted in efforts to defend our nation, following the 9/11 attacks."
Full hydrogenation is converting unsaturated fat into saturated fat. (saturated refers to every carbon in the chain being bonded to as much H as possible - it's saturated with hydrogen).
Unsaturated fats are missing some hydrogen, so the carbons will form double bonds to make things work out. The double bond doesn't twist, but is rigid, so it aligns things in one of two ways. The cis version is what occurs naturally, and trans (almost) only occurs during hydrogenation (some small amount of trans shows up naturally in beef, maybe other red meat, iirc).
So, provided a hydrogenated fat is fully hydrogenated, it can't be a trans fat, by definition - as there is no possibility of a double bond occuring - it's just saturated fat. How well controlled the process has to be to ensure it's.999 fully hydrogenated, I'm not sure on.
That said - the whole concept of hydrogenating fats was to cut costs, and turn cheapshit byproduct oils into ersatz-butter and lard. I'll take the real butter and lard.

The original 'reduce by one tenth' decimate is archaic. Modern usage means kill/weaken a significant portion of the group/thing being decimated.
And you know this, too.

The germans already did this in the 20s. Although it is a simple circuit... it is an integrated circuit.

If you want to get technical, if you've had a CRT based TV, you had a 'vacuum tube' TV. It just wasn't entirely hollow-state. ;-)
A lot of microwaves have a vacuum tube for the display too.

Of course he's selling some of his shares. That's pretty well the whole point of this operation, letting the senior people cash out.
It's not like they need cash to put into R&D or anything.

I have a few Vostoks too. They're built like a tank but also heavy like tenk. Typical Russian construction I suppose.
Get the self winder though, Never having to wind the thing is worth the ten dollar differential.
I prefer the models with soviet stuff on them, but they have plain ones too. amfibija series is my favourite.

Bingo. One bad bill draws too much heat, so let it lay low for a while and railroad through some other cancerous bill.

Don't you know how these things are supposed to be done now?
You do it illegally, then after the fact pass laws retroactively granting immunity. Noobs.

I was under the impression that the only thing left original on the B-52s is the sheetmetal.
I imagine they've probably upgraded the avionics a few times by now.
Chrysler was shit long, long before they hooked up with Daimler.
What is wrong with the sprinter? That's one of the few good designs - Cause it's just a merc with dodge badging on it, in the US.

Guess I should add, in 2008, NYC's 16th district (in the south Bronx) gave Obama 95%.
The highest support in the country - to give you an idea of how much room for error there is.
