Get an MP3 player with a tuner. Or a phone that can do this. My contract-free cellphone does all this and cost under $20.

Again, your comments simply show you don't understand a THING about the pension system. These aren't theoretical cuts. These are cuts where the state says "you were contracted to receive x, but we're only going to give you 0.815*x instead". These are REAL CUTS to pensions. Depending on age and retirement status,…

Fair question at times. :) Jalopnik isn't bad, though the writers here even make some mistakes. However, they at least follow the industry and generally know what is going on and how things operate. The rest of gawker? Well, that's real hit-or-miss...

Ohio. We've been in a battle with NC for lunatic insanity. I think they're winning, but not by much.

What part of cutting payments on a whim do you not understand? When the state comes in and says "hey, instead of using a multiplier of 2.7, we're going to retroactively use 2.2", they've cut your pension payments by 18.5%. Furthermore, when they change from using a compounded COLA based in CPI to using a 2%…

Don't expect Zero Hedge to respond. They're a perfect example of what is wrong with modern day "journalism" and public discourse in general - people who don't have a freaking clue about a topic espousing at length on it with no basis in fact.

Ohio state ODE has the attrition rate data. It isn't when they leave the district - its when they leave the profession.

You don't need this level of durability for a PV system on a roof. This would be horrendous overkill. Existing PV systems are FAR cheaper than this.

Well, that was a nice little speech that is likely backed by precious few facts.

The Acura Integra, a car that went out of production in 2001, is still on America's top-ten most-stolen cars list.

And both the teacher and the regional pilot are grossly underpaid at those rates.

I have some doubts that the 5 would be cut from the US. From my understanding, Mazda sort of stumbled into the market here with the 5: They had excess capacity in their Hiroshima plant and found that the 5 met US safety and emissions regulations with nearly no modifications. As a result, they could ship to the US…

Actually, the Mazda5 isn't much smaller than the original Dodge Caravan - its wheelbase is 3.8 inches shorter, but it is 0.6 inches longer in total. It's 0.6 inches narrower, and 0.8 inches shorter. Yet its listed headroom and legroom for the front two rows is greater than the 1984 Caravan. The EPA's total…

Books I had on the sled clearly stated it leaked very badly when cool - it wasn't until it heated up that it stopped leaking - so they would start it up, take off, build up some heat, then refuel to actually start their mission...

Ah, the remnants of a TWA 747... wonder which hull number this was?

Meh...

Cute.

Bull. I see PLENTY of vehicles newer than 1998 that are rusting, from all makes. And I haven't seen a single 3 with rust, except in cases of obvious body damage.

My rule - any job that doesn't require purchase of a new tool isn't worth doing. :)

Should have bought a Sorby sandmaster - or made your own equivalent, simply for safety's sake.
