Solo straights have been on the way out for 10 years now , and vans have been on life support for at least that long. According to straight trick teams and tractor drivers, anyway.

Just don't expect that kind of mileage with a long one. :D

That's more or less the case, but it's more complicated. Back when she installed the capacity there weren't any surcharges, so it made sense to add as much as you wanted. Now, the more you have the more it costs you on the backend. It's a racket. The electric company essentially gets the same...

Can't throw a rock without hitting one.

The Koch brother alliance ain't all that uneasy. Koch and utility companies are after the same thing. The fee can be as low as $5, or as high as $200 per month, usually closer to the upper range. My aunt in Tuscon pays a solar surcharge of $145 per month for being off the grid. As for...

Naive. Oh, so naive. Oklahoma Utilities Hit Homes Using Solar With Extra Fee - weather.com Arizona Wants to 'Tax' Solar Power | TakePart Nationally, electric utilities see distributive power generation - particularly from rooftop solar - as a threat to their business model. A 2013 report by...

I'm actually a little surprised that women aren't screaming for free Viagra. :D On a completely unrelated note, if Hillary becomes president, are we going to be able to figure out a way to pay her less?

The difference is, one is cumulative miles and gallons at the end of the vehicle's life, and the other is highway mileage only. People tend to report their "average" MPG after they've filled up and near-immediately gotten on the Interstate and driven highway miles until they need fuel again...

People fill up, get on the highway and drive hundreds of miles and then fill up again, and that's the mileage they report. If you want accurate mile per gallon, take the odometer reading from the most recent full up, and then divide that by the total amount of fuel that's been put into the tank...

Between innings fans at the Miami Marlins games may find themselves on the Jumbotron. This kid made the most of it. But between this kid and Logan Ondrusek, watching baseball is losing its charm. :p

Just wondered. You seem happiest when you're maddest.

Happy now?

They paid attention to it in terms of pesticides, but it wasn't the watershed of environmental protection and awareness that people claim. The Google Books and Lexus Nexus searches prove that. Many people were expressing concerns of the impact of human activity on the environment starting inure...

You'd be surprised at how many chiropractors give DOT physicals, including the many who are registered in the FMCSA Registry.

She didn't develop an eating disorder because of a comment from the media. That was fabricated for the movie that told her story. It was fabricated by her brother, who produced the movie. Anything that reflected negatively on the family, Richard had removed or toned down. She was chubby in high...

But 'people surviving' really isn't the question at all. The fear isn't death, the fear is... "my life will change from the way it is right now, at the very least I'm going to be hugely inconvenienced." People may very well die along the seashores. Not at all unlike the people who live at the...

I dunno. I didn't say it wasn't a problem. Before we can agree on that, we need to agree on what constitutes a problem. The last time there was this much carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, modern humans didn't exist. Megatoothed sharks prowled the oceans, the world's seas were 100 feet...

It's very similar to a scrotum - hairy, wrinkled, and full of nuts.

You keep saying it's a problem. Do you think if you say it enough then people will believe it's a problem? Have people told you enough times that it's a problem so now you believe it's a problem? Why is it a problem? Points (1-3) and (4-7) above say you don't know why or even if it's a problem.

First by getting their science information from places other than political Blogs. Yep. 4.54 ± 0.05 billion, actually. That doesn't mean we can't influence things on a large scale in a short time. It wouldn't even equal a second on a 24 hour scale. On the scale of one year, the Cosmic Calendar...
