<mishehu> I'm reviewing HOA docs, and they defined an area of 25" x 25" = 25 square inches
<mishehu> part of me wants to find the idiot who wrote that and strangle that person
<Skywise> those are the guys you want doing your tax assessment
<ttkp> I'm guessing folks who paid attention in middle-school math class will land better jobs than "HOA doc writer", so it makes some sense.
<Skywise> people who are stupid in school are still stupid afterwards

<Skywise> that slashdot link was to a comment about the soviet survival kit
<MetaNova> shotgun for bear
<Skywise> its a 3 barrelled gun
<Skywise> http://science.slashdot.org/story/15/02/04/1821207/tp-82-the-gun-cosmonauts-carried-on-space-missions
<Skywise> 2 smooth bore shotgun and 1 rifle barrel
<Skywise> Although its not widely discussed, i find many of the other elements of the soviet survival kit fascinating:
    1. PT3: tactical eating potato (1) if bear like potato
    2. V92: Vodka (potato but liquid) for drink in case of bear
    3. LL2: 40 pound brass bust of glorious comrade Lenin (maybe show bear)
    4. C32: Camera, 3 photos for secret picture of bear (can also take picture of potato)
    5. T21: Mikheil Jacks son cassete playing tape
    6. PT2: Second potato (removed by secret police, holster only. is no second potato. you are of greed.)

Splat was the name
of my favorite Toad,
who lived in the Field
and died on the Road.
 
Thump was the name
of my brothers' best friend,
who hit lots of Balls
until one hit Him.
 
Mommy and Daddy
would always drive fast
over hills and through Trees
until one small ice patch.
 
We went to live
with Granny and Gramps,
until they caught Ebola
licking Liberian stamps.
 
We went to the orphanage
with kids who had glares
and they teased us a lot 'til
they fell down nearby Stairs.
 
The Borsteads adopted
us as a matched pair.
But Sylvia died burning
while spraying her Hair.
 
And Thomas sweet Thomas
the widower and heir
was caught in the woods
by a passing Black Bear.
 
Now we two live here
alone with our ghosts.
The neighbors have fled
to villas up the Coast.
 
The orchard lies dying,
the Roses go bare,
Squirrels have left us,
Songbirds are Scarce.
 
So give us wide berth
avoid and prepare.
Death shows us favors
and we serve him Pears.

<Alan_Hicks> AM radio anyone can send and receive on provided you're under 4W.
<skyroveRR> So uh.. what's 4W?
<rob0> four watts power
<skyroveRR> To power a bulb or something?
* skyroveRR does not know any bulb that can light up under 4W...
<zone_twelve> 4W into antenna
<wukong> in radio, that would be transmit power
<skyroveRR> Uh.... this is confusing, why do you need 4W for an antenna? First off, what kind of antenna?
<skyroveRR> And second, what's an antenna got to do with CB?
