Yeah, really. Your typical US 120V 20A circuit is capable of delivering nearly half that, and most US breaker panels have 40 spaces (although many are used in pairs by 220V appliances).
My last electric bill was for 33 days and recorded 1919 kWh of usage. That's an average of 53.15 kWh/day, or an effective constant draw of 2.42 kW. Peak demand with the air conditioner spooled up is _way_ higher than that.
My February reading was 864 kWh for 28 days - an average of 30.86 kWh/day (I have oil heat, so very little electricity goes into heating my house).
The AC unit seems to add about 1000kWh to my bill - that's a lot of juice!
That's why I said crude oil COMPONENTS. Crude oil is a complex mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons, mainly methane CH4 thru n-Tetracontane C40H82. Everything from methane to asphalt tars are in there.
At least in the US, your biggest biological exposure to aluminum may be via deodorants/antiperspirants. Many contain Aluminum Chlorohydrate which was rumored to contribute to Alzheimer's.
Oddly, if you owned the house and rented it out without living there yourself, you would have essentially no say whatsoever as to who you can/can't rent to. Here's a smoker trying to claim not renting to him is discrimination! (Two points for it being about CraigsList, too).
There's a lot of people starving and doing nothing all over the world.

I have A Modest Proposal - euthanize them all, and sink their bodies to the bottom of the sea so they can be subducted and turned to oil. Each person is a whopping 18% carbon by mass. That's a lot of carbon sequestration!
Please explain to me how a PRIVATE company NOT providing a service free of charge... constitutes an "observable erosion of civil liberties".
This agreement paints all such newgroups, whether or not they contain any illegal content, as probable cause for you to get arrested. I'd say that's a _huge_ erosion of civil liberties. It's illegal to possess CP, not happen to browse newsgroups with 'binaries' in their title. It is absolutely not my ISPs duty or business to record my browsing habits. They're opening themselves up to charges themselves by editing the material they provide access to (they could lose their common carrier status). Much like Slashdot disavows ownership of comments, ISPs should do the same and stay out of law enforcement.
Parse error on your part. Criminal one was incarcerated for burglary. Criminal two was a sex offender. They were both re-arrested, both this time for sex offenses. See the truth in it? Criminal two is 4 times more likely to be re-arrested (that is, arrested a second time) for a sex charge than criminal one is likely to be re-arrested (that is, arrested again) on a sex charge.
My TRS-80 booted up* before the image on the CRT stopped wiggling around! Talk about instant.
*Disclaimer for you 'yutes' out there: the TRS-80 I had ran a Basic interpreter directly from a ROM or PROM. IIRC, it had a 2 MHz Z-80 CPU, 16K of RAM, and used a cassette recorder as its sole storage medium. Smokin'!
I did buy a Stringy Floppy for it, and that thing was fast and had infinite storage capacity as far as I was concerned.
Actually a Jar-Jar Binks 'Ham' sandwich would be very tasty right now...I couldn't think of a better fate for him than to be 'deep basted' with up to a 10% salt solution, chipped, pressed into vaguely ham-like shapes, and cooked in greasy water.
Absolutely. Those who claim that anthropogenic global warming is an 'absolute certainty' as are not being very rigorous, IMHO. As has been stated here, their models have such large error bars that using them to predict the future of such a large, complex, and chaotic system is hubris.
Slightly OT, but the definitions of bifurcations look an awful lot like IIR filters, a DSP construct. They're recursive filters that can exhibit unruly behavior as compared to FIR filters.
An awful lot of 'real scientists' (in their day) devoted their lives to alchemy and Platonic solids. Ignorance and misguided research can pop up in any age, regardless of your perceived level of 'scientific' sophistication.

Just dam up a valley, and there you go!
I toured this facility a long time ago back before the days of evil terrorists - it's pretty impressive! It actually helps the local ecosystem.
Oh the humanity!!!!!

They found crude oil components on Titan.

No mod points to give, but nicely played!

I'm a serious carnivore, but there's a place here in Richmond VA (Piccola's) that serves an eggplant, basil, and Parmesan pizza that is incredible.
There is some, at least. In the US, that would be localization.
Hence the suggestion to try the veal. 8-)

Guns? Australians can't possibly have guns, they were outlawed and confiscated!
You're correct - I mean Safe Harbor status under the DMCA.

FYI, Treason is the only crime defined in the US Constitution.

Dude, you shouldn't admit to "cow-orking" in a public forum. Post anonymously next time!

I have 150 slashdot freaks!
Are they hanging from hooks in your basement?
Is that the hamburger that does/doesn't have cheese until you look?
