I accidentally turned on manual shift while recently driving I am unfamiliar with. WTF. Didn't know how to turn it off and had to drive that way until I could safely pull over, put in park, and then back in drive. Bat-shit insane.

I am fairly sure type M is used in normal residential construction. L is heavier and use for more underground or commercial applications. You can quickly tell the difference because M has red writing on it, while L have blue. The problem is

Ford bought New Holland back in the 80s. New Holland was very vertically integrated and Ford, after taking the reins, declared that they were going to teach New Holland how to become recession proof by outsourcing as much as possible and pu

Video production and distribution seems to be a very different model than music so I am not sure any comparison with Spotify was ever valid.

I really wish a feature was added to online screen sharing that showed a pie chart of the time each participant was talking. I think it would help a lot of people who talk to much (probably myself included).

What you care about is how much charge is at that high voltage potential because current is charge/sec. Charge due to stray capacitance can be quite dangerous because if you don't know what you are doing, the amount of stray capac
