I have designs for safety related equipment used by the industry for almost 20 years before I got around to completing a degree.
One of my favorite tests was to use a 220Kg hammer (on a pendulum)to smash the competitions stuff against an anvil. Then I made sure my stuff took at least twice as much swing to break, while have fewer, less expensive parts. Fail fast and often, then figure it out.
And those items are still used today.
Because I listened. Both to engineering instructors (with over 250 hour to graduate, I had a broad education) and to old BDIFFF (Been Doin' It For F*****g Forever) people. Hi, Jake!
I learned how to do for a dollar what any damn fool could do for two.
Not if you do it at the outlet of a river to the sea, where the mixing has been happening for billions of years. I think life in that area has adapted by now.
Uh, you are looking through the telescope the wrong way. That flow you quoted is at the UPPER end. From the same site you linked to, the flow is 50 times greater at the Delta, where you find the OTHER side of the cell, salt water.
I've tested medical device software and I had to sign my name on forms over 5K times for just one version. This was just for the behavior and appearance of the localized GUI, not the pure functionality. Each test was recorded via video. The 90GB of video, 4GB of datasets, and the 220 pounds (100kg) of signed test forms were shipped at the end of the 6 week series.
At the medical device customer's end, all of the tens of thousands pages of signed and initialed test forms were scanned and burned to disks. The plan to hang on to these for about a century.
Then, the forms are updated and reviewed, new languages and OS versions added and the cycle continues. Every step is reviewed and audited. We don't want the FDA asking 10 years from now if something was tested or considered for testing without giving defensible answers.
The folks testing the functionality of the software had close to 100K of tests for each version of device software. (Different vendor, so I am going by what the device company told me.)
We all reported to the same defect database, so we could be aware of progress and problems.
If solar cells were 100% efficient, they might be able to gather enough energy to power the entertainment electronics on commercial aircraft.
Yes, you have a steady supply of power but you would be lucky to gather one (1) kw per square meter on cells oriented 90 degrees to the Sun. Since that would probably not be optimally aligned to the flight direction, your collection would be less.
"And it pains me to realize how screwed up the education system must be in regards to teaching American government if this is the understanding that people have of how the Constitution actually works."
I agree, in your case.
The Constitution does NOT "grant" rights, it guarantees them.
There are two Rolls Royce Companies. The car company and the aerospace company. They split in 1973. The aerospace company is doing very well, thank you, and is the second largest (after GE) aircraft engine manufacturer in the world. Doing so well, that they bought the car company back from BMW.
The _labeling_ rights were sold separately to Volkswagen for their cars.
Actually, it is a glass fiber/POLYESTER resin boat that suffers from "Boat Pox" and since polyester is way cheaper, that is what boats sold to consumers are built with.
The repair is to remove the blisters and trapped water and replace the affected region with glass fiber/EPOXY resin.
Polyester leaks slowly. Epoxy does not.
That is one of many reasons where amateur boat builders who plan to go on the water with what they build select epoxy for stressed parts. The same thing holds true for amateur aircraft builders who plan to fly with what they build. But, what would Burt Rutan know anyway?
HP does make money on their printers; somewhere between a nickel and a dime on the cheapest models. They will do whatever it takes to be at least number 1 or 2 in any market they compete in or they leave the market.

Missed deadlines.
He so loved the wonderful whooshing sound they made as they flew by.

Never stand behind a coughing cow.
I know his wife got the second-best bed. That's the one they slept in. The best bed was for guests and patrons.
Tell that to Morgan Motor.

No, but they both involved enormous government support.
Land giveaways for the railroads.
Fuel taxes for the highways
(And, some of the US Rte 1-101 highways were built by the WPA.)
I floss my teeth, 9 edge leading
Mmmm! Catfish sushi!
(And, considering the water quality, it comes with e coli sauce.)

Well, you are wrong as far as land cars are concerned.

They have gone over 2.5X faster than the wind, DIRECTLY DOWNWIND.
No side forces on the wheels. Straight downwind

Long hours, fun times.

And this is better than building a cat and stroking his organ?
Is two to the chest and one to the head the Mozambique Drill or the Mo' Zombie Drill?
Probably not saturated. You may be thinking of gunpowder. People are still getting killed with WW I buried mines and shells.
Quoting Wikipedia: "TNT neither absorbs nor dissolves in water, which allows it to be used effectively in wet environments."
Let's say that only one out of twenty still work. Do you feel lucky? Exciting times.
And just what kind of reefs grow in brackish waters that freeze over in the winter?
Certainly, there aren't any corals in the region, except for hotels.
I would think 'pussyfoot' is more appropriate.
Upgrade your awareness on "ALL 50 STATES"
I live in Oregon. We don't have a "use tax", "sales tax" or any other kind of tariff extracted on purchases.
Actually, you can cool by evaporation, rapid expansion, or sublimation, as well.
That is why some space suit designs have porous, pressure-containing membranes, so you can cool by sweating in space.
"And it pains me to realize how screwed up the education system must be in regards to teaching American government if this is the understanding that people have of how the Constitution actually works."

The Constitution does NOT "grant" rights, it guarantees them.
Review the first ten amendments for examples.
