Note that my latest PG&E (Pedal Generator for Electricity: ref. Soylent Green) rate was $0.50269 off-peak and $0.62569 peak (4-9 PM).

"Off with their heads. Off with everybody's heads."

Long ago I witnessed a military EOD public demonstration where a 1000 foot roll of det cord was unrolled into a straight line then initiated from one end. You could see the bright light of the detonation travel down the line, a little before the sharp Whoomp arrived (both heard and felt). Also demonstrated: blasting cap in a baseball glove to illustrate the need for caution in handling.

Before joining a startup in the late 80s, I got these two gauge figures from reading: 1 out of 7 startups will still be a going concern after 4 years, usually by being acquired by an existing company; 1 in 30 will IPO. VC industry was smaller then: lowly engineer me was standing next to Don Valentine explaining something during a very early lab demo of a prototype while we were shopping for another round.
