Yup, it is like the pool pump rules here. They want 2 speed, or multiple speed pumps when the reality is as soon as you get the required water turnover, you can just turn the pump off. Mine is on a 6 hour a day timer and it stays blue. The difference is that you can run it twice as long at half the pump spped, move the same amount of water, and it saves a substantial amount of electricity used. The pump power goes up as the cube of the speed. |

My neighbor has one of those computer controlled variable speed pumps and he had to add a timer to manually cycle it on to bypass the automatic features., |

They are regulating how hot the coffee can be in restraunts now. Seems that a while aback someone got some hot coffee at a drive through and spilled it on their selves and got burnt and sued and won about 5 or 6 million dollars for that. They were awarded a huge amount (2.68 million, i believe), but McDonalds appealed and the payment was significantly reduced, with the woman eventually recieving $640,000. And there were extenuating circumstances too. The plaintiff showed that McDonalds knew for a long time that their coffee was far hotter than coffee at similar places, dangerously hot, etc and did nothing about it. It was so hot that it melted the nylon the woman was wearing, as I recall. It can't be more than boiling point. Most people boil the water for their coffee. There is no excuse for the woman being so stupid. The correct brewing temp for coffee is ~200F. That's brewing temp, not serving temp. Serving temp varies from place to place, but IDK any place here that serves it anywhere close to boiling, ~160 - 170F seems to be a typical serving temp. McDonalds was *serving* it at around 200, as I recall. So what, all are hot enough to burn you, which is why I don't understand peopledrinking hot coffe. I always have to wait about 10-15 minutes before I can drink it. Which is more likely to melt nylons and give you third degree burns? There isn't much difference between 200 and 170F. And how was the woman stupid? She bought the coffee at a McDonald;s drive-thru. It accidentally spilled. If she's stupid for buying coffee at their drive-thru, then McD is stupid for selling it at their drive-thru. And it was shown that McD knew that it was exceptionally hot, the woman did not. She picked up a cup of something and couldn't tell what temperature it was? I guess they don't have drive-thrus in the UK. Yes, we do. But we aren't stupid enough to put hot coffee balanced in stupid places. She pulled up to a window and they handed her the coffee. By then it was too late and she had no way of knowing what temp it was. But McD did know that it was being served at 200F, too hot for anyone to drink. It wasn't too late, she was holding it and knew what temperature it was by the sensors in the skin of her hand, yet she chose to balance it in her lap, next to her naughty bits. She balanced it in her lap then spilt it. Coffee is hot, that's a simple fact known to anyone with half a brain. This ****wit must have thought she'd ordered pop or something. Is she retarded? What was she doing driving a car if she was that dopey? Fine her for frivolous allegations. Even better drown the lawyer who took her side. Even better drown all lawyers. Slowly. Take responsibility for your own actions and stop blaming other people like pathetic little 6 year olds. In the UK, that lawsuit would have failed immediately. But then again, UK intelligence is a lot higher. If you guys would stop protecting your dumbasses, your next generation might match the intelligence of the rest of the world and you'd no longer be the laughing stock of our planet. Feel free to rant. The jury ruled in her favor, it's over. And I think there was enough evidence there to support the verdict. Your courts always get things wrong, basically because it's similarly stupid Americans voting in the jury. The simple fact is people should look after themselves. McDonalds did not throw the coffee over her. SHE caused the coffee to spill. ONLY SHE is to blame. This is simple logic and if you can't follow that it's no wonder you spend half your life in courts suing each other, it really is pathetic to watch. Take some responsibility for your on actions and grow the **** up. -- Patient: Doctor, I think I need glasses. Madam: I think so, too. This is a brothel. |

If I have a shirt on it is winter and if they ever see me in long pants it is time to cover up the plants and worry about your pipes freezing. I actually can survive longer than most people in the cold. I really thought of putting on my skis and shooting a video going by. The kids were freaking out. Nice to be able to stand cold, like that.

Coffee makers work fine on 120 and most do not even approach the 1440w available. A drip maker can just "drip" so fast without overloading the filter pan. ...snip... It's less about overloading the filter pan and more about "contact time". If the water drips through too fast, the taste will be affected. Unfortunately, with most home drip systems, you are at the mercy of the machine's drip rate. SWMBO and I bought a $300 Breville unit for each other as a Christmas gift. You can adjust the brew strength by adjusting the contact time. It makes a really great cup of coffee, but it has too many features and too many parts to clean to be convenient for everyday use. We ended up going back to our basic drip machine, sacrificing some flavor for ease of use. Stolen without permission from: http://www.ncausa.org/About-Coffee/How-to-Brew-Coffee Brewing Time The amount of time that the water is in contact with the coffee grounds is another important flavor factor. In a drip system, the contact time should be approximately 5 minutes. If you are making your coffee using a plunger pot, the contact time should be 2-4 minutes. Espresso has an especially brief brew time -- the coffee is in contact with the water for only 20-30 seconds. If you're not happy with the taste, it's possible that you're either over- extracting (the brew time is too long) or under-extracting (the brew time is too short). Experiment with the contact time until the taste suits you perfectly. Never heard of instant coffee? Boil water, add a spoon of powder, stir, add milk. Instant coffee? Yuk I'm a cappuccino man myself :-) I enjoy cappuccino, too! -- Maggie |

He said it was the humidity, western NYS is humid, Alaska is dry. That is way too much of an oversimplification. Yes, it's dryer in AK so the cold doesn't feel quite so bad, but you don't go out in -70°F dressed like it's 0°F in western NY. You don't really "tolerate" it like you can tolerate 0° At those temps you wear full artic gear with no exposed skin: http://thulegreenlandsite.com/images...rctic-gear.jpg According to this chart, temperatures as relatively "warm" as -40°F with 15 MPH winds can result is frostbite in under 5 minutes. http://www.atc.army.mil/weather/windchill.pdf The coldest temps I've experienced were -35°F with 30 MPH winds while in the USCG in AK. All we did was dress up, go outside for a few minutes, say "OK, done that" and go back inside. Our beer froze before we could finish it anyway. Going out to toss a Frisbee around at temps below 0° was fairly common. Having family and friends mail up spares was also fairly common. Frisbees tend to get rather brittle at those temps. |

There have been studies done, and it actually takes 2 HOURS to cool the body enough to kill it at 0C. Have you never tried swimming in winter? Have you never fallen through ice or known someone who has? Have you never seen Russians going for an ice swim? They most certainly don't get out after a minute. I go swimming in 0C water myself, and I don't even start shivering until I've been in for 30 minutes, so to say that a few minutes is deadly is absolutely stupid. -- Complete with obligatory low frequency bass, electrically recorded on a four track in two hours.

We have these two: Red squirrel (despite the filename): http://www.uksafari.com/jpeg3/greysquirrel01.jpg Grey squirrel: http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/...l1_665805c.jpg I think we have both, here. Funny thing, I went to let the dog out and a big fat red squirrel was sitting on the back porch. I opened the door quickly and and said "get it" to the dog and I've never seen her exit that fast before! The squirrel about became doggy food, too, that time. Squirrels are lovely creatures that do no harm. They are not like rats that pee everywhere and chew up garbage. We have both types of squirrels. Since the nesting hawks have returned, the red squirrels will soon be snack food. Blacks, greys, and reds around here. The reds are canibals and will clean out a black or grey squirrel nest in no-time. They clean out bird nests too (including the nests of hawks etc if they get half a chance) I'm not a fan of squirrels. I have bird feeders that they can't get into, hard as they try. The hawks eat the little buggers every year and I'm okay with that. |

The problem is when there is more than one circuit in the box or when people assume all white wires (neutral here) will be grounded. If you open up that wire nut only one of those wires with be ground, the others may be at full line voltage through the connected load. I've done that. Surprise. -- .. Christopher A.

Even the darn chipmunks are nasty for that. Did about $1800 damage to my wife's last car.
