Why would you get upset at jury rig? It's the original term and older than jerry rig.

If you start getting into radiation heat transfer, then you have to consider the difference of temperatures, but both raised to the 4th power first.

That's just 0.002 dollars, right?

How do you feel about people who, as foreign students, have just completed a 4-year degree at an American university and need an H-1B to get a job in and remain in the USA?

Arresting people for striking does have an immense chilling effect on people thinking about going on strike. Which does help the company. They get to take the unsalvageable employees and turn them into examples for the fence-sitting employees.

I'm currently using a y510p as a home lab. Every update resets the shutdown-on-lid-close setting. Had to set up a cron job to re-disable it on boot.

The other thing not being mentioned is that credit cards and debit cards have different legally required protections.

True, but they do not need to articulate their suspicion to you. The only person that they need to convince that they did have reasonable articulable suspicion prior to detaining you is the judge.

The system is set up much more in favor of the cops than for you.

Single sheet of paper, yes.

But for small out of the way towns (population 2k-10k) you'd want one specific to the town otherwise you'd be looking at a tiny speck on a state sized map. And the big maps might not have all of the small city side streets or not be up to date.

For reference, the town I did delivery in currently has a population of ~3,000 people and occupies 2.7 square miles out of the 268,596 square miles of the Texas map. Doesn't make sense to use a map where you're only looking at about 0.0001% of it.

Even better, being a delivery driver trying to find McRando's house without GPS, map quest, etc. Just a street address and a city street map from the municipal Chamber of Commerce.

Especially fun when half of your deliveries were out of the city limits and you had to ask for/write down directions, and no cell phone to call if you took a wrong turn or they gave you bad directions.

I don't miss those days.

One of Vietnam's holidays, Tet, last 7 days, though. So that 12 total days off.

The fae operate on a different set of rules. The Tooth Fairy can only take teeth that are freely offered. The dead cannot consent.

I finally decided to tackle building the whole Southern Cross Squad from Cucuruz Doan's Island. And after around 3 months of work I am finally done.

This was a bit of a challenge with all of the water decals, especially the commander who had about 125 total water decals. I also have decided that I'm tired of mono-colored weapons and have started painting knife and axe blades. Mono-eye = good, mono-color = not good.
