These are the maximum allowable dimensions. If your bag doesn't fit in one of these slots it has to be checked.

It's a replacement deadbolt. Doesn't require any modification to the door or frame. As long as your local laws permit you to change the locks on a rental you should be fine. (For example, you may not do this in Alaska, but the law specifically protects this right in NY.)

To what end? If you could type in a 4-digit combination every second (which is a fantasy) it would typically take over 2.5 hours for someone to brute-force their way in. Meanwhile the lock can be picked in seconds, and the door can be kicked even faster.

I feel like I failed to communicate to you. I'll try again.

Diederik Stapel is "our" Ted Haggard. (To quote myself.)

No. We know where all of these planes are.

Bad news, friend. You picked the only country fatter than the US.

How about the Guns & Dope party? The only problem would be if "meat" includes ostrich.

So many problems.

Maybe. Would depend on the scalability of the technology. We're so deep into the realm of speculation that there's probably nothing intelligent to say. But I'll speculate that there's probably a minimum practical size of a drive we will be able to build, which may preclude your otherwise excellent plan.

As soon as you cut the conventional engine your acceleration goes to zero. Which means that your velocity is constant (but non-zero). This is freshman Physics.

Zero acceleration does not imply zero velocity.

It occurs to me that the phrase "you reap what you sow" is nearly always used in a negative context. Well, Mr. Burton touched the lives of thousands upon thousands of children in the '80s (and into the '90s?). Now we have a few bucks in our pockets. You are reaping what you have sown, sir. But you don't have to

I don't like the speakers in the story. I like this a lot. Except the spout shouldn't be sticking out. Do I understand correctly that the amp is in the ammo can?

That's fair enough.

Maybe you didn't notice that there was a direct question in my post.

I'm a veteran. Would you similarly give me a pass if I had (and I certainly won't) compared reading her comment to being raped?
