Something about this doesn't add up...at 78 dollars an hour, she would have had to work over 200 hours in one month to make that amount, yet it says '...just working on the laptop for a few hours", which is completely misleading. 50+ hours a week ain't trivial. I think your friends sister-in-law is embellishing, to say the least.

Comment The tablet built for Homer (Score 0) 136

This reminds me of the old Simpsons episode where Homer designs a car for his long lost brother's car company. "...and when I step on the gas, I want people to feel like the world is going to end. And the horn should play 'La Cucaracha'..." What eventually did them in was the price for all of the outlandish 'capability'...which very well may be the case here too. Those who don't learn from the Simpsons are doomed to...relive their...zany antics. Or something like that.

Comment Re:Diesel does not last forever. (Score 0) 162

Of course it doesn't, but it doesn't have to go unused the whole time. In between disasters, you use the 'surplus' diesel it to fire up the generator periodically, and also do cutover tests to make sure the thing will actually work. If not, get it serviced immediately. Anything is better than finding out in a disaster that the generator doesn't work. If the diesel goes bad, you eat the cost and move on.
