I don't know Montana, but that Texas tollway described in the original post has feral hogs.

The way you describe it, the result sounds like "I have no mouth, and I must scream" (the story; I don't know the game).

What if Neo took both pills?

"You take both pills, you'll wake up in bed, and I'll show you how deep the rabbit hole really goes..."

Enough of what NOT to do... Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!

an echo chamber here.

I'm pretty sure the "4" comes from mapping the letter grades A, B, C, D, F. "A" has the most points (4) and "F" the least (0). Most of the time -- but not always -- the letter grades have already been mapped from a numerical scale or percentage, e.g., A=[90-100], B=[80-89], C=[70-79], D=[varies?], F=[can't fudge a D].

If Disney opened up a Death Star, I expect we'd all have to spend at least 2 years there.

I've even heard it more-broadly stated that there are NO long-term stable lunar orbits. It's an issue for orbital debris: since (1) objects don't burn up on entry, and (2) an uncontrolled orbit is impossible to predict in the long term, therefor all lunar orbiters should be removed rather than abandoned and lunar deorbits should be targeted rather than random.

My church just handed out (free!) 2013 calendars to parishoners. I was starting to worry about that Dec. 31st thing, but now I know we're good for another 12 months.

Besides, who with any business sense publishes a calendar that lasts 5000 years, and distributes it carved in stone?

I would add the old "Antenna data reference manual" and a somewhat newer book by the same author, Joseph Carr, Practical Antenna Handbook.

I've heard that, in addition to smoke removal, fresh air (or water) lowers a room's temperature and can prevent flash-over. There must be an optimal solution among the inputs -- people get degrees in this stuff.

The Bounty was on its way to a long-planned winter home in Galveston. I'm guessing they hurried to leave early, just not early enough.

This is the best reply I've read here. I think that back when they built the current system (article says 1961) the military wanted to know where everything was so they could identify the military threats. (You also don't want to launch your counter-strike when that Russian rocket booster burns up over Alaska.) That's still the case, but the use for collision avoidance is becoming more important now. The data go into real-time calculations and also into long-term environmental models.

The data (sure...minus classified) are already available to the public, with the caveat that these are averaged/low-res data not suitable for collision avoidance.

You didn't account for the "Aack! I look like that?!" factor that could easily lead to NO boobs (for you) at all. S.O. would need to already like mirrors/threesomes.

Cannibalism will clear up all my symptoms? There must be a downside...
