1.5L, but the water is probably starting out at 45 degrees or so.

My beach house, which my Mom and Sister live in, is right on the beach here, in a newly-mapped "flood zone". It's about 8' above SL. And very very close to the shore, when the wind is blowing...

What's an "assault weapon"?

What percentage of the legally owned "assault weapons" in the USA are used to "take souls"?

I think you can probably search on these forums and find some data.

My daughter, who lives in the UK, has become quite a fan of the electric kettle. However, in the UK they have 230V power outlets, and the electric kettles boil the water about twice as fast as...
