Comment Re: 40x income is still 40x paid to gov't (Score 1) 191

It did come apart into three pieces, which could be seen but the seams were made fairly tolerable. From that I'd gather it was hollow with some sort of framework inside and a skin, not a solid chunk of bronze. Moving it would be a project, but not a "had to take out a wall" kind of project like moving a newspaper printing operation.

Comment Does it matter? (Score 4, Insightful) 41

Regardless of whatever budget Congress sets, the majority party has already been clear that they have no intent to enforce it. If the president uses the NASA money for something else, or even just puts it into his own personal pocket, we can be confident that he won't be impeached, and if impeached, he won't be convicted.

The only thing that matters is the total budget. The president is free to spend that total however he wishes. This isn't the law as written, but it's the law defacto. If voters have a problem with that (do they?) they can choose a different party to be the majority.

That would explain why the Magyar Birds are racking up around 10% of enemy soldiers killed. This does need to be handled with some caution so that the metric doesn't become the purpose, and new operators still get something because it's not their fault they don't have a history or rank or Elo or whatever they're using. Also you don't want to incentivize tactics that might get the operators located and shelled, which might not be detected and exploited immediately but like a pitcher tipping his pitches, someone is eventually going to notice.

I knew someone with a life-size bronze sculpture of a horse rearing up. It was given to him as a wedding gift and he absolutely hated it. But it was basically a white elephant he couldn't get rid of or conceal, so he posted it in the lobby of his company HQ, where it actually got a lot of positive comments. Everyone was happy, including the people that gave it to him, but just to make sure he never had to take it home, he later sold it to the company for $1. As far as I know, it's still on display.

There is no dark side of the moon, really. Or the darker side is the one we can see, the one with the huge lava flows. But those socks probably disappeared while still wet, right? This would explain the water ice at the bottom of the permanently shadowed craters. So the place to look is going to be in craters near the poles.

We have a standard J-1772, and there was none of this plug type supplied at the ~4 charge stations (2 plugs each). Most if the plug-types were the CCS-Type 1. This station info should be updated.

This place is open and working! I called first to make sure the gate was open. Andy answered and was so sweet. He greeted us at the gate and took us to the charger.

Arrived when museum was closed and the gate was locked so there was no access to the chargers. their phone message said their hours were Friday through Sunday? But that we could arrange visits to the museum on other days.

We were in a pretty tricky situation in this area on the way to Vegas. Charging facilities are fairly limited in this area but this location helped close the gap to get to the closest super charger in needles. It seems that the charger can be accessed at any time of the day. The location is scenic with art installations by the host museum. Watch out for wild life. Leave a donation this service is seriously needed (and appreciated) in this area.

What a neat Historic Route 66 spot where my Spirit of Tesla - 2017 Tesla Model X used the service entrance to get to the windmill for a Level 2 Tesla destination charger (5 kW atv240 volts)...along with 120- volt Level 1 outlet. I will be back to visit this exquisite "Study The Past" historical site.

Nice place to go back in history. Very enjoyable
The Tesla Destination is now housed in a shelter. I didn’t test it with my adapter but looks in great condition.
