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

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. https://www.dailykos.com/stori...
Don't forget their attempt to control the use of residential solar through an intentionally named and misleading constitutional amendment. http://www.miamiherald.com/new...
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. http://www.tclusa.com/products...

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.

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

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.

Fuck you Hans Brix!

I don't know about that. As CHiPs Ponch and John had pretty good instincts. They always got the bad guy in the end. But then again they were always launching their motorcycles off ramps and sliding under tanker trucks, so maybe their instincts weren't all that good.

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.

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.

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.
