Firearm Maintenance
Oil in barrel while in storage, dry clean before shooting is standard procedure in my part of the old world as well. If you skip the dry clean part, I have read that someone thinks that oil in barrel *may* increase the pressure and that this might be bad for your karma or something. Ok, I made up the last part because a modern firearm should handle a little increased pressure just fine and after the first shot most of the oil should be gone anyway.

Transformer Question: Using 220 taps in the US
As naamanf points out transformers are rated in VA, and as V goes up (110 -> 220), A must go down. The issue is heat From Transformer Ratings: "The power-handling capacity of a transformer is dependent upon its ability to dissipate heat. If the heat can safely be removed, the power-handling capacity of the transformer can be increased. This is sometimes accomplished by immersing the transformer in oil, or by the use of cooling fins. The power-handling capacity of a transformer is measured in either the volt-ampere unit or the watt unit."

What did you do today?
Some garden work, put winter tires on the car and thoroughly cleaned the barrel of my rifle. And ain't that a good excuse to put up another gun image? It is a Tikka M65, but mine is "left handed".

Post the last thing you bought!
Just for training, we have a couple of similar guns at work, and I discovered that it was mighty fun to shoot with such a pistol. The big deal with air guns is that you can use them almost everywhere. It shoots this kind of pellets: It is a 4.5 mm, so the ones from the front row will fit.

Just ordered a Baikal IZH 46M, a cheap (compared to similar air guns ) but high precision air gun.

Sorry to hear this. Hope you get a follow up with their hiring manager, it could provided valuable feedback. I agree with the above regarding phone interviews, communication between people are so much more than just words.

But didn't Hitachi buy the IBM disk line? I think it is indeed a Deathstar (but many a GB has been lost since then).

sandal-case
It seems that ECCO Men's Shoes: Outdoor, Casual & Dress Shoes does not have their sandals available in US. I've used a lot of Ecco shoes (and sandals) in the last 20+ years, not always very cool but every pair I've had has been very comfortable to use.
