About how much would it cost for an electrician to wire a generator to my circut breaker?
To do a proper setup, I would recommend a minimum 7000 watt pad mounted propane/natural gas generator. The generator would cost about $2000 (it would cost more if you want extra capacity). You can expect an electrician to charge anywhere from $200 to $500 depending on the complexity of the hookup. For propane, you would have to allow for the cost of a tank and fuel lines. For natural gas, you would need to have a certified technician check your system to make sure there is adequate flow on your main line (changing or adjusting the regulator may be required). Edit: The required generator transfer switch is generally included in the purchase price of pad mounted generators. A decent 7000 watt generator will come with at least an 8 circuit 50 amp transfer switch. If you were to purchase a portable generator, a transfer switch would have to be purchased separately.
Would you ever sell your book collection?
There was one particular time that I DID cull my huge library when I downsized. I sold some antique books to a property house in LA so they were put to very good use. Others that I had read that didn’t interest me anymore were turned over to a used bookstore.My collection now is one that I have curated over most of my lifetime, having started as a high school freshman to read British history and books about royalty. Those are the core collection.I have other subjects that I have also collected and kept to use as references now. So, while my book collection grows, I find ways to keep them. I consider them my quiet friends, so it would take a lot for me to sell them. Besides, I’ll have to reread them!
Would a book ever stop a bullet?
This was an absolutely ridiculous attempt at a “stunt”. ‘We thought a book would stop a .50 bullet from a Desert Eagle within a couple of feet!’ Absolutely ludicrous.There’s the famous story of Roosevelt being shot but the 50 pages he had in his pocket helped slow the bullet enough that it was still a wound, but not a fatal one. That wasn’t a large calibre round.Not unless it’s a very small calibre would a book like they had stop it. It does depend on the size of the book, though. This is the thickest book ever published, it’s the collective Miss Marple works of Agatha Christie, it’s over a foot thick.Until you take into account it was a .50.Back in 2015 Demolition Ranch conducted a test with a Barrett .50 on 5,000 pages of paper. The round passed through all of them. Now, admittedly this was at near enough point-blank range and the Barrett has a muzzle velocity twice that of a Desert Eagle, but the principle stands. It’s going to take a lot of paper to stop a round like that from up close.
How long does it take for ice to melt at average room temperature?
This depends on several factors:The temperature of the ice (it could be well below 0 degrees C)The mass, shape, and volume of the iceHow much room-temperature air is available to transfer heat into the iceThe rate at which the room-temperature air is able to transfer heat into the ice (depends on surface area of contact, ventilation)An extremely cold (perhaps -40 degrees C) spherical ball of solid ice about 1 meter across, if placed into an unventilated very small room at room temperature (about 20 degrees C), will take a very, very long time to melt. It could last several days, perhaps even up to a week. If the room is tiny enough, the ball of ice will chill the air in the room, so that it’s no longer at room temperature. (It will, effectively, turn the room into a large ice-box refrigerator.) If the room is very, very large (like a gymnasium with full-size basketball court and bleachers), then it won’t cool down noticeably, and the ball will melt faster, but may still last a few days to several days.If, however, the same mass of ice is already very near the melting point (perhaps -1 degrees C), and instead of being physically configured as a compact sphere, it’s configured as a large number of very thin sheets (each sheet being 10 meters by 10 meters by 2 millimeters thick), and ventilation fans are used to blow room-temperature gymnasium air over and between these sheets of ice, they will melt very, very quickly — perhaps being completely melted in less than an hour or as little as 20 or 30 minutes. The very high surface area, combined with the movement of air (for efficient heat transfer from the air to the ice), greatly accelerates the melting. Starting the ice at -1 degrees C instead of at -40 degrees C also gives it a head-start for melting.

Selecting an underwear is very crucial as you have to do all the activities by wearing it. You cannot ignore this little which most people do. Most of the Indians don’t pay much attention to it as for them it is very small thing and they think all underwear are same which is not the case.

You will not feel good adjusting your underwear in front of your boss, teacher or friends. So, comfort is more important.For comfort , you need to assure lower elastic should be soft and of good quality so that it will be at same position and your underwear should not come upwards while sitting and running.Upper Elastic should also very soft and is of good quality as bad quality elastic will leave rashes on your skin which you definitely doesn’t want.Rest of the material is also of such quality that it will not get tear while washing in machine as well as with brush.Style: Style is the second most important thing as you don’t know when can life put your pants down.
