Cakefool posted:Flatbed or platform container? Did they have wheels built in? If so how many, how big? No. It's just a big flat piece of metal. The best description I can give is it's like a giant metal cafeteria tray, They drive cars on it, then attach nylon webbing on them via grommets on the edge, When I was at Fedex we used them all the time. They can slide along ball bearing mats easily. 1 person can push a car loaded on one of these easily. Skid would be the right term I think.

I need to collect ~50 videos that people shoot on their cell phones. I have at my disposal a website running a wordpress template. I am open to third party websites. I have tried a couple of wordpress plugins, and they work fine with 2MB files, but 20MB files throw them, and I need to accept up to 100MB files. Help!?

Let's also say that I don't plan to significantly upgrade my lifestyle, aside from paying off a single tiny loan. Try the Newbie Personal Finance thread. Odds are, though, what you're going to want to do is max out the matching on your 401(k), and stick the rest in a savings account (which is going to be a poo poo return, but you need some liquidity if you're planning on making a down payment on a house). There are some savings accounts out there that will give you a high return on the first $X you put into it, but in general, you're going to have a lovely interest rate because you need the liquidity.

Do you want this house (or to spend the money in any other way) in less than five years? Put your money in the highest interest savings account you can find.

Max out any matching your company does (free money), pay down your highest interest debts (more money saved than any investment), then you might consider a Roth ira (I believe you can borrow against a Roth ira for your first home purchase without penalty.)

How much data does a regular-season NFL game generate?

Programming the A/C saved like $40 a month this summer (84 during the day, rarely got above 79-80 degrees even with it off all day until 7 or 8), so I am looking for a way to cheap out this winter too. If you have a heat pump, you aren't supposed to program it in the winter. Keeping a consistent temperature is ideal. I've heard the ideal temperature is 68 degrees. I don't know if this is for people or heat pump efficiency. Heading into winter as a poor, does it save you any money to leave it set on a temperature lower than that, say 62-64 all the time, or does it cost more money, make no difference, or save you money?

My package showed up at the office at 9 AM, I can't go pick it up and have to wait until tomorrow. USPS can really be terrible though I understand why it is the way it is. I'm wondering if I put a hold at the office if they'll let me pick it up. e: Nvm it'll just take 2 days longer. Turtlicious fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Nov 25, 2014 |

Statistical data is negligible compared to the data consumed by video and still imagery, which is what I'm looking for. I'm also curious if the NFL saves every second of video from every camera, or if much it is culled soon after the game or season. edit: If someone has knowledge of this for sports or leagues other than NFL Football, that would be neat too.

I would be willing to bet there are 0 people on god's green earth that could even give you a reliable order of magnitude estimate. There are way too many different organizations filming, photographing, recording audio, etc. at any given sporting event to have any reasonable chance of making a guess. Well, other than this one: a loving poo poo ton.

Is there anywhere on this board to ask Italian goons to check my translation of a brief Italian letter? There's no Italian language thread in the language sub-forum and I don't want to start one just to ask this question. Alternatively, to any fluent Italian speakers reading this post, would you be willing to take a look at this and let me know if my translation is decent (and help me out with the phrases in brackets  )? -- quote:Ministry of Foreign Affairs That second sentence/paragraph is giving me a lot of trouble.

In calculus class we did a story problem on the Mean Value Theorem where a toll booth operator issued citations to drivers who went too fast on the toll road based on the time stamp on the ticket issued when they entered the road. Do any states actually do this?

Back when I was doing freelance work for an NFL team, they actually had a guy full time in the tape library. This was maybe ten years ago. They had, if I recall, every game recorded (of all the teams) plus iso feeds of some teams. So two angles of each game. Interestingly, under NFL rules, you have to share all tape your team shoots in an actual game with the league and every other team. You can shoot practice and not share it. Every practice was shot, some from more than one angle, but not necessarily kept. This was all in actual tape... Now that everything is hard drives, I assume there is 5x as much crap.

Not a toll booth operator but an old boss of mine claimed to have gotten a speeding ticket when a cop asked to see his toll-receipt and the copmath = continuous speeding. I don't know if I believe it, cop was probably pulling him over for speeding anyway, why the need to look at the toll-receipt? and this was in the early 90s, long before any cash registers, phones, laptops, watches, whatever were all in sync with the atomic clock. Cop could've stopped at the toll booth every morning to sync his watch but that probably wouldn't hold up in court and he and his bosses had to know that. I doubt all the registers would be synced to each other either. Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Nov 26, 2014 |

I fart wicked bad whenever I eat pasta. And the cat likes to crawl on my rear end and sleep (I lie down to use the computer) so I usually end up blasting that furry bastard with a cubic metre of methane and sulphur dioxide right in the face and generally being the worst alarm clock in the world. How do I enjoy pasta without basically turning into a Bile Demon?

How much fibre are you getting generally? Suddenly increasing your intake can do that because your inside bits aren't used to dealing with it. Also, get a a dog.

Good amount of fruit and veg a day, prob 3-4 servings each. But my diet is pretty lacking in cereals, I will admit. e: Also I have a one-room apartment in Korea. No space for a dog, I gotta take my cat out on a leash instead.

Could be that, could be intolerance, could be something else. Try to bump your dietary fibre intake up on non-pasta days (if you get psyllium husks you can poop without needing to wipe) and see if that helps. Asafoetida is often added to bean dishes and is apocryphally meant to reduce gas production but I don't know if/how that works, or if you could find it in Korea.
