Personally, I think Bitcoin is the 21st century version of the tulip bulb. 

If we're launching out of Chicago, more than anything I've ever flown can carry.

For the record,  the Flyer family had back-up power for all devices and downloaded content so we were ok.  There was lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth around us though. 

The Flyer family encountered the same BYO device system on a flight from Germany to Chicago.  We had the following 2 problems: 1.  No power available at the seats.  All the little kids that had spent the last few hours killing their iPad batteries had no way to charge them. 2.  The wifi system...

Same guess here.  A buddy of mine used to do some of the testing for Ford.  International Falls (aka Frostbite Falls) in Winter was one he wasn't all that fond of.  He also did some towing tests dragging trailers up and down hills in CO.

Looks like it's set up for a 24 Vdc supply.  The current is small enough that you should be able to set the meter for measuring current and place it in series with the power supply and the sensor. My preferred route would be to put a small resistor in series (either 100 ohm or 250 ohm) and use...

Ditto.

I'm not even interested in the commercials this year.

No HOA here.  That's one of the reasons we live where we do.  I'm pretty sure the HOA at my last house would be throwing a fit about the farm tractor I keep parked in my garage.  I'd be using the same RV argument Supe is using for his race cars.

I was once informed that the best legal minds the utility had were employed as engineers at the nuclear plant.

I'm not going to retype the man's book.  The following is worth a watch:

The other possibility is that somebody comes along with a better business model than Netflix (putting Netflix in Blockbuster's shoes).  Net Neutrality was just a way for companies like Netflix and Facebook to use the power of government to isolate themselves from competition from startups.

1.  Corrections are part of the business cycle.  Don't put anything in the market that you think you'll need in the next 5 years. 2.  The housing bubble was the end result of a massive set of moral hazards set up by government interventions in the housing market.  If the banks wouldn't have...

Net Neutrality was a solution in search of a problem.  Look at how far the internet advanced without the government stepping in to "protect" it.  The end result of treating an ISP like an electric utility is that you wind up with the same service and quality as any other monopoly.

If I'm getting it from Best Buy, I usually make the purchase online and they have it waiting at the pick-up desk in the store within an hour or so.  Keeps it so I'm only in the store for a few minutes and I don't have to spend any time trying to figure out how they categorized anything in the store.

^The "L" might have been just a Chevy thing too.  it's all we had on the farm.  The pattern was labeled as marked as L-1-2-3 and the only sure way to shift into "L" without grinding the gear was to be at a complete stop.

Happy Birthday!!
