Sorry, this does not help. There are plenty of gas stations in Houston, but 70% of the city still don't have power. Unless the gas stations are running a generator, they may have supplies in their tanks, but can't pump it. Thanks for your effort anyway.

Hi Mosio! Is a consulate considered foreign soil, like an embassy is? Thanks.
Join or Log In to answer.
A consulate is like a junior embassy. It's generally located in a busy tourist city, and takes care of tasks such as issuing visas. Embassies also perform this function, but have a much more significant role beyond the scope of just visas.

A country will typically have one embassy in every country, along with several consulates in different regions of that country.

My landline phone won't ring. I can make calls, receive calls if I'm psychic and know someone's calling RIGHT NOW. DSL is fine. What's wrong?

Have you tried a different phone? Phone company is responsible for repair if you are not receiving ringing voltage.

Tried three different phones, same problem. Also made sure their ringers were on ;-)
It's the phone co's problem up to the demarcation point, the NID (network interface device). After that, it's either landlord's problem or mine.

If the phone wiring inside my walls between AT&T's demarcation point and my wall socket needs to be repaired, who pays? Landlord or I, the tenant?

Your landlord owns the building, but as a renter it is your domain. If you wereon ATT's cable plan, ATT would have to do it for free.

Thanks, Rose -- that never would have occurred to me.
Is there a special meaning to the ? Because "make your depth x feet smartly" occurs as an order quite frequently in submarine movies.

from what I understand is that the captain gives instructions to the diving officer to dive to a depth of 6 feet smartly - from an info on this link

Thanks again, Rose, but you just don't seem to understand what I'm asking. From your own reference, compare the two orders:
“Diving Officer, make your depth six-eight feet smartly. All ahead two-thirds.”
“Make your depth six-two feet; all ahead

can't seem to find a very good answer here, but if I had to guess I would say that it means that the diving officer has control over the angle and rate of descent/ascent, otherwise such characteristics of the dive might have been specified
