Name a router that you think has more instances of DD-WRT installed than the factory firmware.
Linksys WRT54GL. The one they market through online dealers (no brick-and-mortar stores that I know of) specifically for people who want a Linux-based router that's friendly to third-party firmware.
Out of interest, what would the insurance companies prefer was done in that case?
Fly to an airport with full emergency equipment, declare an emergency, make a normal, fully controlled landing and let the damn props hit the runway. It means an engine teardown (two in the case of a twin), but it doesn't endanger life and limb any more than an ordinary landing.
Once the main gear is on the ground, it's not unreasonable to kill the engines; if they stop completely before the props touch down, the bill will be smaller.
Dead stick, both props feathered and moved with the starter out of the way...only scrapped up the nose a bit.
Most insurance companies will terminate your policy if you try that crap. They may appreciate the $20,000 you saved them, but they aren't about to let you put millions at that level of risk again.
I was surprised to learn after having moved to Denver that not only are 100% of consumer fireworks banned
OTOH, you can buy all the big mothers you want 100 miles up the road at the first exit in Wyoming, which supplies enough ordnance to keep the Denver ER's nice and busy.
You have to either go on July 3 (missed it) to a park

the never-ending quest to prove P. T. Barnum's adage
I'll give the author a pass on the libelous misattribution, and just point out that Barnum did not take your savings or your mom's Social Security check. He promoted a lot of hokum, but he took your fifty cents and sent you home satisfied.
First, the "bottom of a well" story is false. Some discussion here: http://www.astronomycafe.net/qadir/q241.html as well as at snopes. Got a piece of pipe? Try it for yourself.
Second, light pollution of the night sky is a massive problem for astronomers. The lights of Los Angeles reduced the Griffith Observatory to a tourist attraction, and the city of San Diego spent a bucket of money on shielded lighting to mitigate what it was doing to the Palomar installation.
So how do you define an element? Half-life of one minute? What natural distinction does that represent? If you put the right nucleons together and the strong force grabs them, I'd say it quacks like an element.
No problem: "half life" is just the period of time that an atom has a 0.5 probability of surviving. In other words, it's directly comparable to "life expectancy" -- and you have one of those.
In the early days of nuke research, a number of physicists picked up dosages of plutonium that worried the AEC, so it instituted a program of measuring the Pu content of their urine once a year ad infinitum and monitoring for health effects. Those people refer to themselves as the IPPU Club...
