If you get what you say you want (i.e. reduced consumption) then your revenue decreases which will force you to find another source of revenue. The cynic in me would say that there's no real end to the list of behaviors our government wou

There will always be more critics than makers; the trick is to remember which really matters. It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Neither of which address his point that creating a school is very costly, in part due to regulation and (possibly) external interference. In fact, your example supports this - the website for the very school you cited announces over $1M

Due to the lack of carbohydrates in their diet, Inuits apparently process protein differently than most others, through gluconeogenesis. I can't say whether that has any substantial impact on their susceptibility to cancer, but it's not n

Instead, if you want children, go for it while you are young, adaptable and have tons of energy. I can appreciate the logic in that, but I'd caution anyone against jumping into a commitment of that magnitude before they've achieved some m

Interesting, I wonder if this is a new development (can't find that in my 2005 NEC codebook). I did run across something else, though, 200.21B2 states that the total load on a single 15-amp receptacle cannot exceed 12 amps, which might als

Yeah, if you have a cooler that consistent and adjust your temp for the measured thermal mass of the cooler it would work fine. Mine loses about ten degrees per hour at mash temp, however, so I need to adjust the temp pretty continuously d

The mash temperature needs to be pretty exact, and I (personally) find it hard to do fine temperature control with a burner. Even a few degrees variation during mash can favor different enzymes and result in inconsistent starch conversion

Good comment, but I wouldn't quite say that using a non-relational database frees you from having to think about a cohesive data model. It might be more accurate to say that for some data models non-relational stores are a more natural fit
