LOL. A 5th wheel hitch mounts directly to the frame, not the bed. There are many, many people out there safley towing 5,000-6,000lb trailers every weekend with F150's AND staying well under the CGVWR/Payload/Tow Ratings.
Please don't contribute to low-quality online discussions by Googleing something and pretending to be an expert. You lower the value of our community. Here is a good video showing the actual installation process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Ok, I went and looked at the California State University system. 1999-2000 Allocation (Funding) $2.25 billion. 2016-2017 $3.4 billion, the highest it has ever been. It peaked near $3 billion around 2010, fell off for a few years and bounced way back. Maybe you should go work at a CSU? The real problem there is the same as many places, vastly more overpaid administrators, not enough spent on students and education.
And the ridiculous practice of calling 10 episodes of something a "full season". 10 episodes is less than HALF a season for a broadcast TV show. Historically a season was 26 episodes and maybe a special thrown in. They can't be bothered to actually make a full season so they make half and hope you will just take. it HBO started this BS with 12-15 episode seasons and are now down to 7!!! 7 episodes and they call it a season!! Total amateur hour.
What phone and apps are you using? I can't think of a way to make that work on iOS or stock Android. Please tell us more as this seems like a really cool set up.
Typical lithium 18650's have energy densities of 200-230 Wh/kg. This battery is less than half as good. Let's see if they can improve it but this is a non-starter for now. Regular Panasonic 18650 specs: http://industrial.panasonic.co...
I'm not talking about natural flooding during our 3 month rain season. The AG companies are flooding fields year round! Normally you would drip irrigation for certain crops, direct heads or similar with weather based controls for others. These jokers just crack a valve open and flood the whole field. A huge percentage of the water just evaporates. They are not using efficient irrigation techniques at all. It would cost them money to install efficient systems or to even fix leaks and broken pipes but since their water is nearly free they don't. That is absolutely insane.
Rich people watering lawns is not the problem. Residential water use, ALL residential water use in California, accounts for about 4% of our annual use. It is unrestricted use by big agricultural concerns that use OVER 80% of our water. They still flood fields for christ's sake!!! Their is no incentive for them to use modern water wise farming practices since they have "senior rights" going back centuries. We can't even pass a law restricting them so now we grow rice in flooded fields. Just stupid.
We have tried many, many times to build new water storage in SoCal only to be slapped down by the environmental lobby EVERY time. They always find a slightly differently colored bird or worm and declare the area protected. They publicly state that the goal is to prevent any new construction of any kind. Not very reasonable people...
We have a law in California that restricts government agencies to charging for only the actual cost of service. Tiered rates were tried but the courts just struck them down. Bad for conservation but good for limiting pricing shenanigans. It is a hard problem.
Agreed. Right now you can buy a brand new Prius for $21k and get 49.7 MPG in real world driving. I love the idea of an e-vehicle and will buy one as soon as the numbers work but we just aren't there yet.
That is a crazy high number. I just installed a 6.7 kw PV system for $15,000. It is cash flow positive from day one. Over the 20 year life of the system, using very conservative escalation and discount rates, I will save over $80k with a NPV of $28k. PDF of the economics here: https://drive.google.com/file/...
This seems willfully obtuse. If you live anywhere near a city there is a recycling center near you that will accept these. Even if you live 60 miles from a city you still make several trips a year into that city for other reasons. Not taking those old bulbs with you for the 10 minute detour to drop them off is being purposely stubborn.
The app is clearly for little kids under 5-6. The "security" lock to keep kids out of the settings is a simple 4 digit pin that is shown on screen but only in words. It literally says "Enter three, five, eight, four". If your kids can read then this isn't the app for them.
It is rare to see this kind of willful stupidity and stubbornness on Slashdot. Perhaps you should go back to reddit or fark or wherever ignorant opinions count. You have been repeatedly told exactly why you are wrong. Facts matter here. Please leave.
There are no significant aerodynamic forces on the fins at this very low speed either. We aren't getting the whole story. I suspect an instability caused a feedback loop.
I used to think this way too. I would tell all my friends that if a boat were sinking with my wife and small children in it, I would save my wife first as we can always make more children. This is logical and makes sense to me. Then I had kids. It turns out that many of us are "genetically programed" (or however you want to phrase it) to save the kids first. Our minds don't always seem to work the way we want them to. I can still clearly see the logic of saving my wife first and would agree that this is the proper course of action but my brain simply won't allow me to do that. I am 100% sure I would save the kids first and let her & myself die. Wierd huh?
Of course I still believe strongly that if you are going to have a kid then you should also have redundant back-ups (more kids).
No, the form specifically asks in question 29.7: "Have you EVER associated with anyone involved in activities to further terrorism?"
She did not inform them of her continued relationship with two convicted members of a terrorist organization, including visiting one in prison. I'm not seeing a lot of gray here. She clearly should have answered yes to this question and explained her tenuous connection to these people. That she lied NOW is the problem, not that she was a minor activist in the 80's.
The M4 is fully capable of hitting man-size targets out to 500M with close to the same accuracy as an M16. The barrel is only a little shorter. Additionally, I don't understand your point? Both rifles are designed for a range of engagement distances.
Your Disney point is spot on. I attended a talk by thier head of parking a couple of years ago and he indicated that Disney is legally allowed to "only" park 3,600 cars per hour on the property but when things get busy they can park over 5,000 cars per hour. That is amazing. More than a car per second with usually no wait at all. That is impressive! Not only that but the cast members that work in parking are always extremely helpful, polite and happy.
The dirty little not-so-secret-anymore is that the IRS simply does not do anything with about 90% of returns other than cash your check or send you a refund for whatever you ask for. They simply are forced to trust that the numbers are right. This is now out in the open and has resulted in a new type of scam where criminals simply fill out bogus returns for hundreds of SSN's claiming refunds. The IRS then happily sends them the money, to the tune of $millions of dollars to single addresses. The US Post office sometimes has to rent bigger trucks just to deliver the thousands of checks.

What part of "just struck them down" did you not understand? It will take months to years for each agency to make changes.

The average walking speed is 3.1 miles per hour. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W...
A leisurely pace might be closer to 2 miles per hour. So a one hour walk, not 15 minutes.

I want to play too!
