A few years back, I worked for a company that did a lot of deliveries. All of our vans and two of our smaller box trucks were regular unleaded; only our larger box trucks were diesel. Most small businesses that don't deal in large goods use vans running on gasoline. UPS and FedEx may use all diesel, but they're not the only ones doing deliveries.
As much as it would suck because it would mean paying more all along, it would make more sense. There's a lot of things in which percentages would make more sense, but the government opts for absolute values - various taxes, minimum wage, etc
The problem is where exactly do you draw that line? If I drive my car across the state border to buy cheaper booze, then everything from my driveway to the store parking lot and back is "directly involved" in interstate commerce.
Or have anything delivered to you. Or use the postal service. Or pay taxes...
Satellite frequencies range from 1176.45 MHz for the L5 band to 1575.42 MHz for the L1 band, although it looks like only L1 and L2 (1227.60 MHz) are really used for the actual positioning. But then I saw a bunch of math I didn't understand, so I skipped to Wikipedia's Submarine Navigation page and it lists GPS as "Surface and Near-Surface", which is described as no more than periscope depth.
But when expanded, it retains the capital letters. Which denotes a proper noun (name of the system). Unlike you're IMU example.
If you think humans are the unreliable thing, you've never met my Magellan. Half the time, I couldn't use it to circumnavigate a town.
If you want violent felons to have any hope of being rehabilitated, you need to show them what true criminals look like.
What if you're tossing it because it completely crapped out on you and, thus, you can't change anything?
For the same of variety, I'm hoping they didn't stock a lot of large print books...
So it's updated about exactly as often as a shipboard library would be in the first place. And probably contains more titles... I don't see Navy ships dedicating a lot of space to libraries.
That reminds me of the other quirk of my bank.... username is case sensitive. e.g. SJHillman was already taken, but it let's me use Sjhillman
My bank assigned me the random PIN of "1234" for my debit card. One of my student loan websites (Citibank) ignored anything past the 8th character of your password anyway. One of my old credit unions had a six character password limit, alphanumeric only. Financial institutions are a little behind the times.
Seven of the ten wealthiest members of Congress are Democrats, although reporting on Congress members' net worth is inaccurate by design. There's quite a few of them with a net worth in the negative six figures too.
