The problem with bulk solar production in Florida is night time demand. Due to the hot and humid climate, you don't see a major demand drop as you do in other parts of the country. TECO in Tampa is converting their Big Bend power plant from coal to natural gas. They are also building solar farms.
The current compressive strength of Hempcrete is around 5-10% of standard concrete.
They have a long way to go before they are anywhere close to having a product that can be used in commercial and industrial applications.
In the construction industry RFQ is request for qualifications.
In a situation like this, the "Owner" (government agency, aviation authority, etc) will send out a RFQ to establish a list of interested parties.
They they then compare each respondent against the established project criteria ( schedule, skills, past experience, project approach, etc).
Those that that meet the qualifications are placed on the "Qualified Bidders List".
A RFP (Request for Proposal) is sent only to those on the bidders list.
Fuck Duke, FP&L, et al.
They already screwed us for millions of dollars and they want more. Levy County is just one example. Crystal River is another fine example of consumers getting bent over the barrel.

Don't forget their attempt to control the use of residential solar through an intentionally named and misleading constitutional amendment.

There's a reason residential solar isn't prolific in the Sunshine State, and it ain't because there is no sunshine.
Just bought a TCL Roku TV. 55" of 4k goodness for $399 on sale at Target.
Its got plenty of inputs (3xHDMI 2.0, USB, Ethernet, and more), just no component video.
The OS is quick smooth and easy to navigate. OTA setup is a breeze, it will even scan a cable connection for channels if you have "basic cable" that doesnt require a set top box. Removng undesirable channels is a simple as clicking a check box on the channel listing and boom they are gone.
The remote is very simplistic. There are no numbered buttons. It seemed awkward at first, but if you hit the left arrow on the remote it brings up the channel listing and you can scroll to the channel you want.

You have an issue with a black female being a leader of a group of magicians in the 1920's in a movie about magic and dragons?
I bet Wonder Woman really bothered you, because there is no way that a woman could be a superhero during World War I. Everybody knows during that time period that ALL the superheroes were men.
Swearing in Hungarian is like poetry.
My grandmother could tell you to go screw yourself a hundred different ways and it sounded like a church hymn.
She was one tough old woman.
It's a shame that I cant remember any of the good phrases.
Good point. I never thought of it that way.
My parents didn't subscribe to TV Guide. They just used the "free" tv guide that came in the Sunday Washington Post.
Then you also remember when TBS/TNT started their programs at:05 and:35.
Which meant that when you changed channels to any other station, you missed the first 5 minutes of that program.
Now that we know how his heart was doing, when are we going to know the size of his balls?
With the risks of space travel in its infancy and the inherent dangers and unknowns, they must have been the size of grapefruits.
This will never happen in the States. The carwash political lobbyists and Unite Carwash Labor Employees of America Now! (UCLEAN) will bury this technology.
Look what happened to the 100mpg ICE engine.
Won't somebody think of the car wash towels dryers!!
If 50% does come to fruition who is going to pay for all the maintenance, upgrades, and construction of the transportation infrastructure? Petroleum fuel taxes (local, state and federal taxes) make up a large majority of the funding for the projects. If people aren't buying gas this revenue stream will decline and the condition of roads and bridges will rapidly deteriorate. That money that you have saved by not buying fuel will instead be spent on the suspension repairs and new tires required due to damage from pot holes, etc.
As a result I would expect to see a usage based road tax implemented. Some type of system where you have to report your mileage annually and a bill is sent.
Yeah that was in areas controlled by the Kurds. There were no insurgents or pro-Saddam forces in these areas. The Kurds dislike the Arabs and Persians. They just want to be independent and left alone.
In fact during the height of the action in Iraq you could eat lunch at a sidewalk cafe, go to the mall and catch a movie in Erbil while suicide bombers were blowing themselves up in Baghdad.
Home Sweet Shithole.
At least you could hit golf balls into the lake, go fishing, and there was a bowling alley for a time.
I too still jump at loud unxpected noises and wonder how long before that reaction fades. Nothing freezes you in your tracks like the sound of a mortar coming out of the tube.
There are plenty of women there. Both contractors and service women. But obviously the ratio of men to women is off the charts.
And due to such a ratio your date could be "high mileage". If she's willing with you, it is very likely that she was willing with others.
As for social life, there isnt much to due outside of work, eat, sleep and hit the gym. There is no booze on base (the Turkish truck drivers can get it for you) so those type of social events are non-existent.
Spot on.
I spent two years in the "suck" as contractor (non-IT).
There are inherent risks with any job. Understanding and evaluating those risks and basing your decisions on that evaluation is the key.
With greater risk comes greater reward.
A lot of people came over with the expectations that they would be living in hotels, dorms etc and were shocked when they ended up in a modified shipping container with a bunk bed and a fat smelly roommate.
What I missed was privacy. Being in a small office with 4 other people 12 hours a day 7 days a week and then sharing a hooch doesnt allow for much privacy.
I learned a lot about myself in those two years. Sitting in a bunker while mortars fall around you gives you some time for personal reflection. I also saw parts of the world that most people never will. And yes, I did make some cash.
Its also a great conversation starter (yes chicks dig it!). People love to talk about it, and I have hours of stories and thousands of pictures to go along with my experience.
Would I do it again? Absolutely.
Would i recommend it? Depends on the person. Not everybody is built to handle it. The stress, the austerity, the separation from family can do crazy things to people.
Good luck with that. While it does sound like a great idea it would never happen. No HOA would ever make an exemption. It defeats the whole purpose of the HOA.
Also, you are going to lose your good faith deposit on the property because you didn't close. Is it really worth throwing away money to try and screw with the HOA? Just find another property that doesn't have an HOA.
Use the LORAN network? Uhh LORAN was shutdown in 2010. I guess your LORAN clock hasn't been right for about 18 months now. But look at it on the bright side, the change in power frequency won't have any significant effect on you.

Florida power companies are no saints though. Look what they tried to pull over on the state's residents back in 2016

The movie was " Crazy People".
Volvo, they're boxy. But safe!

Quit sucking up.
We had our apps crash once because of an Indian character. Pretty sure his name was "Steve" or Rajesh, not Telugu.

We used to go mudding out in The Grid back in college. Nobody ever bothered us out there, not even the cops.

I am a terrible proof reader. My brain works faster than my fingers.
But I'm sure big oil has both of them locked away in their super secret vault.
