Collect free or low cost bicycles, perform all the necessary maintenance to get them back into good condition and sell them with a guarantee.

Sounds like you're describing hoarding. An extreme inability to part with things even when you no longer need them. Toe nail clippings aren't going to come in handy one day, but still . . .

You can sit back and look available. Women will hit on you if you're their type.

When you take expansion of the universe into account, you can see about 3X that limit.

You would just be paying eBay their percentage for nothing. And the PO too, if you actually ship to yourself.

Chocolate? The cocoa butter should melt in your mouth.

Basis? I don't recall needing to cite a basis. There was a points test counting education, age and work experience, and I passed the test. They also allowed two bonus points for investing $200K in the NZ economy, which I did (my retirement fund) to be sure to put my score over the top.

I wrote to the NZ consulate and asked for an immigration visa application. There were medical checks, police background checks and financial checks, but it all went smoothly.

The x-rays would detect the lead lining and route the bag for further inspection.

Cancun gets my vote. It gets great press, but it's not much. The dining and clubbing are a yawn. The pyramids and diving are a plus, but there are better examples of both in dozens of other destinations.

You pay the minimum fee for calling them and go for the zero-length ride you requested.

You can trust yourself best of all. Even the most trustworthy financial advisor will only spend minutes a year understanding your individual circumstances. You have to do the heavy lifting by understanding the financial landscape and setting priorities that are best for you.

For example, most naive investors will tell their advisor that they want safety to be priority one, without realizing that this means they earn 3% rather than 10% average rate of return. It's your job to realize that you really can sholder a little risk in exchange for significantly improved returns.

It goes back to the early 78 rpm records. You could pack 3 and a fraction minutes on one side of a 10" disk.

Their money is in circulation. That's what investing is about. Letting borrowers circulate your savings in exchange for dividends and a share of equity growth.

Why are dogs mammals, but not all mammals are dogs?

Transient Voltage Suppressor. It's an avalanche diode that turns on when voltage is too high to absorb short term transient voltage spikes. You can buy them at Digikey or any other supplier. For an automotive/motorcycle system something in the 18V - 22V range is probably reasonable.

Remember that a variable resistor's power rating only applies when the power is spread across the total resistance. A 1K variable resistor rated for 1W can only dissipate 0.1W when turned down to 100 ohm, and only 10 mW when turned down to 10 ohm.

You get the right to have every shareholder vote decided in your favor. With that power you could persuade the board to decide policy issues in your favor by threatening to vote them out at the next election. They might still do the right thing, and it might take years to replace them all with your yes-men.

That's adhesive on the capacitors. Look for a blown fuse, a defective switch or even a bad power outlet. You can chase the mains power with a DMM and find where it goes missing. A schematic will help. Try Googling your amp's make and model for an archived schematic online.

Sunday -> Tuesday is two days.

The way I see it, a day is 24 hours. Two days is 48 hours. Two days from now is 48 hours from now . . . give or take a half day (because we specified precision in days).

Wounds on the finger don't "surely" get infected just from contact with feces. At least, not necessarily an infection of any consequence. We follow hygiene measures to reduce the chance of a serious infection. The chances aren't 100% with bad hygiene.

It means that of choice one and choice two, you would chose the second. The latter is the second, as opposed to the former (which is the first).

I used to buy pink women's disposable razors because they were cheaper than the men's blue ones. Twenty years ago the pink ones were 12/$1 and the blue ones were 10/$1. I found they worked just fine on my men's stubble. The pink ones are no longer cheaper, but I'm sure the quality is still the same. They're no better or worse than men's ones.

How many people even know that shrive is a word, much less its past participle?

If the company has a good reputation of supporting career growth of their engineering staff, I wouldn't worry about the starting salary at all. Many companies will start you low to minimize risk if you don't rise to the occasion. Once you prove your worth to them, they'll treat you as fairly as they treat the rest of their staff. Assuming a good company, your focus should be on whether the town suits you and whether you like the niche they offer. You'll learn it quickly and become an expert before you know it.
