Well... Technically... A 12 volt battery, will be 12.7 to 13.2 depending on how long its been off the charger... Not that this adds anything to the conversation ;-)

Thanks!

When they do release the results of the investigation to the public, is there a place, other than the local news, that I can look? Will it be published somewhere specific? (I understand it will take a while...)

I apologize if this has already been posted, but I didn't see it if it has been. Other than the local news, where do you find out more about this crash, and what potentially caused it...

Did you get your weather questions figured out/answered? I was expecting this thread to go quite a bit longer than it has. I kind of agree with the comment, that knowing what they do, is more important than why they do what they do... But, at the same time, I understand the desire to learn...

You are correct. And I did have the skilled side of general labor in mind when I said that (Welders). But, even with Mechanical Engineering in mind, which requires some higher level thinking, I would still question which is more important. The attitude... or the brain and skills... either...

Maybe I should start looking over my shoulder, because I deserve to be shot! Of course, at the same time, I wouldn't want someone with your mind set anywhere near my organization, so... Maybe you are a god among men, and can find the perfect person every time... I'm not, either are my people...

Thanks for posting it! Was fun to watch!

... and should consider a divorce.

Converting my magnetic variation lines to solar/seasonal variation lines as we speak... ;-)

Ha! I thought you were just being facetious with the 206 BC! They have been around for longer than I thought!

I understand that, but... why? To be the devils advocate... why isn't north pointing east in the direction of the rising sun? Did a magnetic compass exist when the cardinal directions were recognized/realized? Maybe so?

After spending a few hours staring at charts, with plotter and E6-B... I was rotating a part in AutoCAD, and even though I've been using AutoCAD for 25 years, for some reason, in my mind, I fully expected it to turn to the right. After my initial surprise... I shook my head at myself.

I'm not really talking about a reference line... Simply that in math, 0 is always considered to be to the right. Degrees of rotation, are generally known to go counter-clockwise. 0 in math, is 90 navigation... 90 in math, is 0/360 in navigation...

that there probably isn't an answer to, just a lot of speculation... But why, is 0°/360° up, or north... When almost universally in mathematics, 0°/360° is where we consider 90°? Was the first mathematician the feuding brother of the first navigational expert? No! THIS is how I'M doing it!

You are you saying that its not possible to stall if the stick is not all the way back?

The more interesting thing I thought, was making a collect call... on a party line. "No Mrs. Erickson, it only rang two times, not six! The extra rings YOU heard, didn't actually happen!" If I remember right, we had 8 places on our party line... I don't know about some of you folks though...

Does anyone pay Use Tax for personal things purchased online? I've never heard of anyone doing it, curious if anyone does...? In business, we never paid Use Tax for things purchased online... Not because we were trying to skate around, or screw the system, but because we never thought about...

Just looked at their map for the locations of superchargers, and destination charging stations.... Gotta admit, I'm surprised their are as many as their are. Sometimes I think maybe I should come out from under my rock a little more often...

I've never been around electric cars.. Even though I'm rather fond of pre-emission semi tractors that belch clouds of black smoke, and the high efficiency of '60's to early '80's carbureted cars, I'm a little curious about electric. It sounds like 4 hours is about max range for current...
