The auto workers got where they are drawing a ridiculous wage and
benefit package by collective whining (of course that will go
swooooosh, right over your pointed head.)

I was just passing by and wonder why people want to argue over things.
Anyway I took a college course in "Occupational Choice" (since the US Army
was paying for my degree and they wanted all "generalist" courses) and it
seems to be that if the job requires formal training, and a qualifying exam,
which results in a certification or license, then it is, by definition, a
skilled trade. So to make very veteran (I am posting from soc veterans)
secure in their past, I can state that, without any exeption, all military
jobs are a skilled trade. The infantry rifleman may be told to dig a
latrine (unskilled job) but he is actually a trained rifleman (got the
score, got the badge, etc.) and, by definition, a skilled occupation. I
hope that this has helped, and a Happy Thanksgiving to all.

A true RMS one? If th meter is a true RMS one, it will boast about

I have trouble a Variac that size not drawing a watt or two, And aren't
they rated in VA and not watts?

If it indicates less than .01 amp for that Variac, and the Variac is not
disconnected somehow, I doubt the emeter is accurate at all.

Well, I tested it and it works - and the idle current IS less than .01
amps. I'll check it with my lab meter when I get a chance.

It is rated at 200 va - which at unity power factor would be 200
watts. As it was used for controlling a heating element it had a 200
watt limit. It is a 0 - 110% voltage transformer, and the idle current
does not change from min to max .
The meter I am using is a UPM EM100 energy meter set to the amp scale.
The watt scale also reads 0, and when I plug one of the wall warts in
it does read - HOWEVER, the minimum reading is 2 watts and 0.02 amps,
so when it says 0, it means less than 0.02 amps, and less than 2
watts. (not less than 1, which I had previously reported)

Check out your town's local public library to see what they have to
borrow. If there's a used bookstore in your area, check there too and
local flea markets.

Search for whatever you want at http://www.abebooks.com/ and pick
whichever bookstore has the best price.

Allowing the big three automakers to go bankrupt would plunge millions
into joblessness and cause many suppliers to close. The cost to deal
with all the new jobless claims, loss of wage taxes, etc. will easily
run more then the cost of lending the automakers a few billion dollars.

Not at all. We need to tie the bailout with improved regulations that
prevent businesses from engaging in the practices that would give rise
to such problems again.

You honestly believe that GM would just simply go broke and padlock
their doors?
Why all of the sudden do you all think that there is no such thing as
a buy out or a merger?
Goldman Sachs was given as one of the primary reasons for the
financial bailout. They got bought out before the bailout got
finalized and ended up not needing it.
If GM or Ford were to go bankrupt it would not instanlty mean all of
their employees would be jobless. Large corporations have been in
bankruptcy before and managed to reorganize into a profitable
business. Seems "kneejerk" is the word for the day as of late.
And since when has the government ever been able to manage any
business? Hell the feds owned a whorehouse and ended up bankrupting
it. You honestly think that an entity that isn't capable of making a
profit from a whorehouse has enough sense to run anything else that
they have no clue about?
And so they give GM a big fat check and say "you're going to make the
kind of green vehicles that we tell you to make". And then if those
vehicles end up not being the big boon to the market and don't sell
for shit, then what? You gonna give them more money with more strings
attached? How long are you willing to prop them up?

Dream on. As I asked, when has the government ever been able to make
a profit doing a damned thing? You're talking about the most wasteful
entity in the nation possibly the world telling someone how not to go
broke.

BTW, you people keep throwing the figure out there that "millions" of
employees would lose their jobs. Funny, the UAW has a total
membership of just around 500,000. That's all of the big three and
then some. And no one has yet explained with any kind of logic how a
GM bankruptcy, for example, extrapolates to "millions" losing jobs.

You people have talked of "fear mongering" for years now and damned if
ya'll aren't doing the exact same thing with this bullshit propaganda
aimed at putting the governments fingers more into the auto industry.

Hello All:

I heated a cup of milk for one minute four days ago, then forget it in
the microwave.

I discovered that I now have a yogurt-like substance.

Is this edible? Is it yogurt? Could it be toxic?

Thanks,

Deguza

I'm no expert, other than making a gallon of yogurt a week. If it smells OK, I'd
try a little taste. Maybe you've discovered a delicious new culture.
