Until battery electric vehicles become popular, stations like this won't be ubiquitous in the same way gas stations are.
Chicken & Egg syndrome here - long range electric vehicles won't become popular until there are stop & swap battery stations available.
Did you know that ten tmes as much money is spent on special education for lerning-disabled kids than on gifted kids?
Learning disabled & gifted should just be different flavors of the special education ice cream. Unfortunately most school districts don't see it that way -- especially when they get more state aid for the kids who have difficulties than those that are ahead of the rest of the class.
Personally I hate both terms (learning disabled and gifted), and prefer to use "differently learning"
1) I use an analog scope
2) I use a digital scope
3) Cowboy Neal is a my scope
4) Whats an oscilloscope?
analog & digital - but mostly analog
Because there are many different sizes of melon and since it is a cantaloupe and you're an idiot we'll call it a cantaloupe since North American Cantaloupe is really too long
And cantaloupes come in a large range of sizes from about a pound to around 10 pounds (possibly bigger, the biggest I ever saw was around 10 pounds) Comparison to something that is that variable in size is sort of useless, just give the actual (or even close) dimensions.
What about the parents who used to be able to rely on their kids being in school so they could go out to work? Do they now need to arrange childcare for Fridays too?
<politicianspeak> By instituting a 4 day school week, we will be creating additional jobs in childcare services, thus offsetting the loss of income by the non teaching school staffers </politicianspeak>
I am *NOT* watching Dirty Jobs on that.
Dirty Jobs no - Food Network yes.
The only problem is that I know that my "smell-o-vision" will always be out of chocolate
Inded, that is exactly what it means.
Volkswagen, same thing. Happened to my 1996 Golf. I left the lights on, ran down the battery -- so the radio locked itself tight, awaiting the release code.
With my old departed 95 Jetta (@350k miles), the reset code came on a card in the user manual for the radio.
It would be like if Google created a new standard called norobotsexceptgoogles.txt and lowered the page rank of any sites that didn't refuse to be crawled by anyone but google
For some reason I read norobotsexceptgoogles.txt as no robot sex except google
Must be time for new reading glasses, the problem might be caused by all of that robot sex...
I don't know what the relevant difference is between Texas and North Dakota, but given the murder rates are anti-correlated with the harshness of the penalties it seems unlikely that the two are related at all.
You are only looking at one factor here, another possible reason is population density. I don't have the most recent statistics handy, but the version I have (2006) has TX @ 86 people/sq mi & ND @ 9 people/sq mi.
In ND, finding a person to who pisses you off enough to kill means you have to go a bit of a distance, in TX, that person is just across the street.
It's like a Soup Nazi.
no grammar for you!
Because, once the Y2K bug was fixed, those systems that were already probably working just fine with 20-30 years of minimal maintenance and one huge spurge of Y2K updates will carry on running, most probably. Or people took it as a sign that maybe it's *not* a good idea to be relying on code that nobody on your staff can understand in order to run your business. See what happens come 2038. That'll be the interesting bit.
The COBOL stuff will still be cruising along in 2038, but just wait until the Y10K bug hits.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
