Population of Nebraska: 1,882,000. 77,421 mi2

Population of Santa Clara County, CA: 1,862,000. 1,304 mi2

e. haha, the list of ten least populous counties in America includes five Nebraska counties, numbering 460 to 632 people.

Jesus. Entire counties with less than five hundred people. I'd guess like at least 10% of the population must work in county government.

Jealous Cow posted:

And yet they get two senators and five EVs.

Yup. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_..._50_states.html

Nebraska: 273,424 people per EV
California: 508,344 people per EV.

Nebraskans' votes for president are worth almost double those of Californians' votes. New York and Florida are slightly worse. But no voter has more power than the Wyoming voter. 142,171 people per EV.

I am a crazy cat lady in spirit. I know cats. I can help you with cats.

Disturb your cat's daytime rest. Bother him repeatedly all day, if you can. Do this every day for a week and then periodically thereafter. You can get most cats to shift to a more diurnal schedule this way.

Also, most owners feed at "dinner time" but a large meal can stimulate a long rest, so consider feeding just before you go to bed.

Finally, cats get more exercise and are much less bored, as well as better socially adjusted, when there's at least two. Consider adopting a spayed adult female to go with your neutered adult male cat... or when getting kittens, get two.

Put it on Craigslist. "Mechanic's special." "Thousands invested." $1200, firm.

Ok so, glass has a melting point but it will become soft and viscous way below that point. Also from the photos, you could absolutely have had 1400C in the center of that fire. I've gotten a small gas forge up to just about 1200C for metalworking purposes.

Your sockets are possibly fine. Depending on the steel alloy and heat treatment, they've likely been annealed, which will make them unacceptably soft. Heat them to a uniform cherry red (if possible verify austinitic temperature with a magnet: when the magnet won't stick, they're hot enough. Do not heat to yellow) and then immediately fully immerse in oil. Test hardness with a file.

Having achieved a good hardness you might then want a mild tempering. Put the sockets into an oven (toaster oven will be fine) at 500 degrees and let them heat soak for a while so they come up to that temp - 30 minutes would do it.

Secondarily: I don't suppose that jeep had anything more than basic liability insurance?
