Yep. And from the results of the Alaska Airlines inspection- failure to properly use lock-tite on bolts during maintenance (bet it was a cost cutting measure for the airlines!)
It shouldn't be on the landlords; it should be on the local electric company that already has a heavily regulated monopoly. Every single new meter, should come with an outdoor 220 amp charging port. Problem solved in a few years.
3rd option- realize that for the majority of roadtrips in an electric vehicle will require type II slow charging at hotels, and get the big hotel chains onboard to designate a number of rooms linked to charging stations (preferably the ones on the first floor next to the parking spaces).
Then sell room service to subsidize the price of charging and make it even more reasonable.
Who wouldn't want a two hour break after every 350 miles of driving?
This. I could have sworn that the World's First Trillionaire happened under the Kaiser Wilhelm in Germany in the 1920s. And again in the late 1990s in Zimbabwe.
Money is fungible, numbers are meaningless.
Goodbye WebMD and any other Internet Bran ds website. It's clear they don't care about their workers nor do they care about customers.
The Timex has you.
Dictionary of numbers says that the Teacher's Union can make up the shortfall out of politician's bribes alone.
There's just something *wrong* about moveable escape hatches.
About two weeks, if I remember correctly. I've had a few long-running debates end just as they were getting interesting. I believe the engine for the main page and the journal entries is the same code, with just a tag in a separate table in the back end database. Anyway, that's the way it worked the last time I looked at the "open source slashdot" code back in, I think, 2001? Might have changed since then.
We already had CTRL and Alt and two shift keys and on some keyboards a Fn key...did we really need the windows and context keys?
In fact, with how often the context key gets used, why not remap the context key?
I don't find it unexpected....it is after all a series of poetical allegories describing what people knew at the time, and much of our current understanding of cosmology is extremely influenced by the faith of the past, starting with the entire idea that the world is intelligible to begin with. After all, if the atheists were right and it was all random, there'd be no patterns to discover, and likely not even enough organization in the universe for life to exist.
Bullshit, there's been plenty of left and right wing and atheist fairy tales posted to slashdot over the past 28 years.
About 10 years ago, a change was made to slashcode that puts all journal entries in the firehose, I've even had a couple voted to the front page.
This isn't one that made it AFAIK, but I haven't been online enough to actually notice.
Well, Fr. Lemaitre was obviously inspired by his Jesuit faith, so kind of. Hawking is just a science promoter, not a science originator.
