Board members, yes. Forum members, no. Non-profits are definitely allowed to sell advertising/sponsorships. It's why I've called it sponsorship from the beginning. Switching to a non-profit has been in the back of my mind since the beginning of the site.

Just saw snow in Reynoldsburg. That's two days in October with snow. Ladies, we're going to have a great winter.

Hopefully they hire your son to fix it.

Wow.

I was grinning ear to ear driving to work this morning... in the snow.

Lots of love for the TE, but I'd have to sell the 675R first.

Funny. That was my first thought, but opted for Ollie.

That's right, folks. Snow in October. Woot!!!

Really? How did that come about? First, the vehicle was free, but the paint job, maintenance, storage, fuel, etc are not free. The CDC says one dose of potassium iodide is usually sufficient to protect the thyroid (http://www.bt.cdc.gov/radiation/ki.asp), unless longer high exposure is possible. So let's say two tablets per person aged 18-40. You can buy a bottle at retail, 120 tablets for $10.59 (http://www.imedmart.com/Source-Naturals/Potassium-Iodide-32-5mg/23525.html?cmx=8X0D21&refx=FR00GX ). That's roughly $0.09 per tablet. One table is one dose, so let's say two tablets per person aged 18-40. That's $0.18 per person. I imagine a bulk, government order would be magnitudes cheaper, but we'll use MSRP/retail pricing. Autumn 2013 enrollment at OSU was 63,964 (http://www.osu.edu/osutoday/stuinfo.php). Let's assume a 25% staff/faculty/police/etc to student ratio, so a total of 79,955 people on campus needing two doses each. I'm not even taking into account the number of those who would be over 40. That comes to $14,391.90 (79,955 people times $0.18 for two doses). The average shelf life of potassium iodide tablets is seven years. So how much is being spent on the paint job, maintenance, storage, fuel, etc of the new armored vehicle? I'd bet it's more than $14,391.90 over the course of seven years.

Exactly what I was thinking.

That's not something we hear everyday. Welcome aboard.

Welcome.

You're going to do just fine here. Welcome aboard.

It could be that your neighbor is the furthest from the NOC allowed. Generally this is like 10-15k feet for ADSL. At that distance, it's pretty slow even. Best is within 5k feet from the NOC. Beyond that, IDSL I think is the only option which may or may not be available. It's very slow (like 144kbps).

Using that logic, wouldn't it have made more sense to issue potassium iodide to the student body and police forces? You know, just incase of a nuclear attack or fallout from a complete meltdown at Fukushima? Rather have it and not need it, right? And, it'd protect a lot more people than the number that can fit in that armored vehicle.

I was thinking conditioning.

Still makes absolutely zero sense. How many OSU cops have been killed by IEDs or land mines? Even during the riots, how many officers were killed or even wounded? How is this justified? Are people just so brainwashed at this point that everyone sees it as acceptable to have an armored military vehicle owned by a university police department?

Chili cookoff you say? Hmmmm....

Seriously???

Where is it right now? That should answer any questions you may have.

You saw the person that went to return it the next morning but it was gone... For everyone else, no, I'm not the person.
