In 1973, a Plymouth station age, a station wagon got 7-16 mpg and had a 16 gallon tank. The 256 miles, BEST case.
Yeah, and you could refill it in 2 minutes.

I'm sure the Western aggressors are shelling Ukraine from inside Russia, as part of their insidious plot to estrange Ukraine from Russia. No really, give it another 5 minutes and the Putin apologists will be claiming this.
It's something you are born with. You can hone it, as this guy's done, but the bulk of the work was done before you could even talk.
Actually, that's not right at all. Research shows more & more the link between intelligence and environment & experience.
while true, who are you going to sue, the min wage employee, or the multi billion dollar company??
How about: nobody?
Then he tweeted about a rude agent that was following company policy...
Actually, no, she was not enforcing company policy. As has been pointed out elsewhere, she wasn't even correct. She made up her own fucking rule, then went ballistic when challenged. The fucking cunt needs to be fired, ASAP.
And, yes, he still works there — despite my complaining several times.
I had a friend of a friend once, who complained about an extremely rude cop. And a miracle occurred. He was later informed that there had been many prior complaints, and this his was the one that finally tipped the scales and resulted in the asshole being fired. (This was obviously long ago before the age of over-exaggerated "privacy" for employees which prevents any discussion of disciplinary actions in even the most drastic cases.) So, keep complaining
Uhm, he WAS allowed on the plane. Then pulled off because of the tweet.
Where do you work, I wonder, that you believe people who have flaws, like we all do, should be treated like used tissues?
I've worked in retail. I've dealt with real assholes. I have NEVER EVER even come anywhere near the kind of absolutely unacceptable behavior exhibited by this agent, nor did I ever see any my colleagues do anything remotely like it not ever. She absolutely should be fired.
Complaining to the guy, OK. Calling him off the plane, questionable. Threatening to call the police over a complaint, fired, ASAP.
Think about it for a minute--why was she so anxious to get rid of the tweet? Because she knew she was going to be in trouble. So instead of trying anything at all to de-escalate, she threatens to call the police, in order to COVER HER OWN ASS.
You mean SWA should be charged with extortion? She was acting on behalf of the company.
I'm pretty sure she was far outside the scope of the authority the company granted her to act.
Why? What evidence or precedent do you have for that statement? When in recent history have our planes been blown out of the sky by Russian-produced missiles?
In today's technological world, STEM education is performing a very similar role.
Yes, and to be blunt, I also think that in the past 20 years the rigor of the liberal arts degrees has been greatly reduced, making them even less valuable than they otherwise would have been.
For instance, math or compsci either one, you're going to learn about deductive and inductive proofs, which are highly valuable reasoning skills that will serve you well throughout life. In the old days, a philosophy course would have exposed the liberal arts major to a version that, while somewhat less rigorous, would have been greatly beneficial. These days that same student is likely not to be exposed to that at all, and worse may have his critical-thinking skills permanently damaged by the inane bullshit of deconstructionism.
They've all decided, well, we can't spy on our own people, but if the Americans do it for us it's all good.
Well, after all, even the Americans have decided that
It could work if you're only going from bottom of rack UPS to rack equipment. It's already done in some datacenters, though usually at 24 or 48V rather than 12V.
Oh, absolutely yes in data centers. But not in houses.
You could also probably build the powered devices to run off 12V for less than what this inverter would cost.
Lower voltage, higher amperage required for same power, rapidly increasing power loss with increasing wire length, even at residential scale. There's a reason that your power supply for your 12V lights goes close to the lights and you don't run 12V through your house.
netflix listened to customer feedback when they tried to spin off their disc rentals to another company. so call them and give them feedback. they are easy to reach by phone. if you dont complain to them please dont whine on slashdot
The difference here is that very very few people will care. We're talking about mailing in a DVD on Friday, and getting the next on Tuesday instead of Monday.
Most of us have jobs and lives during the week. Most DVD watching is concentrated to Fri/Sat/Sun.
