No, when you compare the extremes of many sets you would, by definition, find extreme differences, so I’m not surprised. But I’d also wager that the murder/violent death frequency is much higher in that lower extreme. And good health care won’t have much impact there. My point is that to...

The administration of the Japanese program seems good but changes could be made. IMO the top of the sliding scale has been set too low, somewhere in the middle class range of income. But that shouldn’t be surprising, should it?

i don’t know about the ‘much’ but that happens anywhere in the world. Socialized medicine closes that gap.

Actual numbers vary. The link below gives a high (M and F) of 85 and the US in 47th with 80. My oldest student is currently 89 and still working as a doctor. I have a father-in-law that’s 87 and he’s waddling area wearing diapers. Me? I figure my golf score is gonna’ suck green toe jam by 80...

I live in ’another country’ with socialized medicine. I went to the dentist the other day and paid the equivalent of $3.50 for a filling. A few years ago I stayed in the hospital forbover a month and had weekly heart cath procedures to put in 4 stents. In-patient with all services was about...

Amazon sells a full-face respirator mask for about $100. It would be easy enough to insert a piece of vinyl tubing through one of the filter openings. Attach a 400L canister of helium when you’re ready to remove yourself from the census. No CO2 buildup to cause frantic breathing, you lose...

Crime Scene Cleaning is also a real thing.

Lyrics … The curtains are drawn Now the fire warms the room Meanwhile outside Wind from the north-east chills the air It will soon be snowing out there … And some there are Cold, they prepare for a sleepless night Maybe this will be their last fight … But we're safe in each other's embrace All...

So when I was a kid and my dad went outvand bought our mailbox, and the post it was on, and installed it, andvifbit ever was damaged or destroyed my dad would have had to repeat all of that, the USPS considered it theirs?And they never even sent a freakin’ thank-you note. Yep, I try to keep...

Ahh, gotcha’ IDK. At some point in time people weren’t curious as to why somebody would only be interested in flying a plane, and not take off and landing. However, I could see people still their general level of stupidity. As for the story, anybody doing this would likely live in the area...

I checked, and should have just focused on ‘rate’. Gotta’ have a time. It’s calculated on either a monthly or yearly basis. So it’s not monthly bc that require about 200 employees cycling through a month. Now 200 a year is doable and fits perfectly with the 50/qtr.

i could see how a padlock would keep out junk mail. I could aso see how t would keep out all mail AND raise some suspicions on the part of the mail carrier. How would this work?

How do you calculate a 150% turnover rate?

Here in Japan it’s right at $6/gal. Of course I’m not using the current, artificially high exchange rate though. Using what I recall to be to be an average from values I us to file my US taxes each year. Right now it’s 174¥/L. When I came here 30 years ago it was about 100¥/L, so a 70% over...

At least here in Japan the surge in used vehicle prices is driven by extremely long delivery times on new cars, sometimes up to a year.

Same deal here in Japan. Apparently caused by the long wait for new cars, usually around a year.

Here’s Clooney.

I know you can mix series and parallel. But I wanted to know if there are 3 identical panels, can 2 be wired in series and that array wired in parallel withbthe third panel. My guess is ’nope’.

Agree Agree Can two panels be wired in series with a single panel connected in parallel?

i’ve got the Renogy 175W panels. They’re about 21V/10A and will work with a 12V setup. My understanding (more on this later) is that panels aren’t “12V” panels, that they can be used to create 12v, 24v or 48v systems. You’re saying that these will work okay in the shade? Not sure if you meant...
