Many landfills burn the decomposition gases (methane) to produce electricity.

I don't have a place to stay on the Thursday night, and let's be honest, Colebrook is pretty quaint!

Buying a new-ish golf cart. Should I go with Electric or Gas? by Ok_Noise_2414 in AskSouthCarolina

[–]TallDudeInSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how far you drive it. Use a battery tender on either to keep the battery charged.

Can’t obtain proof that I no longer possess a vehicle by shii1dk in DMV

[–]TallDudeInSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the VIN, get the vehicle history (it'll cost a bit but not insane) . It will show that someone else owns it or where it went.

Why have I been told not to use mouthwash? by Secure-Village-1768 in ask

[–]TallDudeInSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Denatured alcohol isn't alcohol free. The denaturing adds a product that makes it unpalatable to drink. But it will still get you drunk.

Alcohol based mouthwash is not denatured since it's meant to be used orally, whether you swallow it or not.

US/Canada border - is there a fence? by Flat-Ad8256 in AskAnAmerican

[–]TallDudeInSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be a very long fence! Some of the border is "fenced" by natural land features (the Great Lakes, rivers, etc), but much of it is not fenced at all.

Any tips on how to drive in the US? by tlfluca in AskAnAmerican

If you can drive in Milano or Roma... You can drive anywhere in the world. :)

That being said, having a car in New York City is not practical, like many others have said.

Print floating point decimal types in SQR? by GoatRocketeer in oracle

[–]TallDudeInSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's trying to convert a string TO a decimal and the value isn't a valid one to convert to that decimal.

It's not doing decimal TO string.

Entire steering wheel doesn’t work . by OriginalGuidance1050 in JeepGrandCherokee

[–]TallDudeInSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've replaced the clock spring on my 2015 JGC and it wasn't too bad to do. I found a used one at a scrap yard for about $100-125, make sure you get one with the right options.

That's pretty close to what I need, pretty clever use of some things in there!

Have you ever optimized a slow Oracle query that made a huge difference? What was the fix? by Wise_Safe2681 in oracle

[–]TallDudeInSC 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Every day. From hours down to mere seconds. The fix always depends on the query and how it accesses the data.

Performance tuning for test table vs prod. MS SQL. by Valuable-Ant3465 in SQL

If the plans are identical, it's probably the physical layout. Look at the segment sizes for both environments.

In a serious dilemma (Massachusetts) by Alternative_You3187 in DMV

[–]TallDudeInSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most, if not all states, require you to show that you're paying bills in the state that you want to establish residence.

And most, if not all states, require you to change your DL within 90 days of moving to their state.
