I don't know, it is hard to tell how far from the ocean it is from any picture but that one, and that one gives the impression of being pretty close to the ocean as you can see it in the background.
In case the link doesn't work, it is the last picture in the gallery.
which you would have figured out if you'd looked at the photos in your link.
So, please link to the better picture showing that the house is so far up and away from the ocean. Or did you just not even look at the pictures?
When I can buy a Prius that can tow 10klbs, then I will buy one, until then, I am stuck with my Tundra.
Now, what I want in reality though would be a 4 cyl diesel serial hybrid truck, but no one seems to want to build a decent hybrid truck. The electric motors have severe torque, and the batteries would contribute to stable towing as they should be placed under the truck bed. This would make for the ultimate towing vehicle, which should get around 25 Mpg, instead of my current 15-20 Mpg.
Where are you getting this acceleration from? As sea levels rise, the rise should slow down as there is more land underwater which increases the surface area of the oceans meaning more ice will have to melt for the same level of rise. Are you saying that ice melting is accelerating at a higher rate? I have seen no scientific evidence for this, please link your source.
Since you bring up Katrina level event, I would like to have a list of cities built 5 feet below sea level so we can start talking about evacuating them.
So, those few cities should be moved, but the vast majority of cities are not below sea level, so there is zero chance of a Katrina level event happening in the wide majority of the US. I have been to New Orleans, I have seen the levies, I have seen the 5 foot or so of water elevation there. I am still dumbfounded that people moved back into New Orleans, it WILL be flooded again, and there is nothing that the Army Core of Engineers can do to stop that. But trying to say that there will be 3-5 port cities that get flooded like that a year, that is not true and you know it. There would have to be 10-20 feet of sea level rise for that to be even possible, and as the increase is on the order of half an inch a year (a foot in 23 years), I don't think that we should have significant concern. It is something that needs to be planned for, but not a OMGOMGOMGOMG you are trying to make it sound like.
Those data costs are a massive rip off. I can get 1 GB from Verizon for $10, OnStar has it for $15. Verizon isn't exactly known as a cheap cell company either.
Why would anyone pay for OnStar when you can get most of the services for much cheaper when not car integrated?
Bees are in that Tasty adaptation. They produce honey, which makes them valued as a "farm animal". People raise and maintain hives, which are used by farmers to fertilize their crops.
The medical care for a dying smoker is much less than for many other things as they don't last very long. The treatment for your issues however is very expensive, so maybe we should just euthanize you.
There are billions of people in the world, we can work on many different problems simultaneously, if they are problems that we can solve. I highly doubt that the people in this article could have any effect on coltan mining in DR Congo. The people who can fix these issues live in DR Congo, if we as Americans try to assist in the problem, it will just be considered another war of aggression, so we have pretty much decided to stay the hell out of that region and let them deal with it themselves.
Some bad dog owners don't pick after their pets. Not a single cat owner picks up after theirs.
Many cat owners are responsible "parents" and don't let their cat roam outside of their house. Those cat owners most assuredly pick up after their cats.
as cigar and cigarette smoke causes medical problems for others
So, now that indoor smoking is prohibited, we should stop all the tobacco taxes, right?
All second hand smoking studies were done on people who worked in places where people smoked, not walked past a guy smoking in a smoking hut. When you can prove any harm from the whiff of smoke you get walking by a smoker, then you can complain, until then, go f yourself.
Did you read the link? I was saying "why ship gold/platinum to Earth". He goes through the economics of it, and explains that common gold/platinum mining on Earth is working with 5 ppm of gold, so it makes more sense, but he also discusses in the solar power item here that things are worth $200/kg in GEO, so I can't see why you would ship them down, when gold and platinum are damn useful in orbit (as well as the iron that he plans to use for structural components in space).
My question on that would be, why return the minerals to earth? They are way more valuable in space, just like he says about the decommissioned power satellites.
So, you are saying we should defund SNAP and put the money towards NASA? I can get behind that.
Fixing the problems on this planet will never stop, there will always be problems on this planet that need to be solved. No matter how much money you throw at it, poverty will exist until we have no scarcity. There are people who just don't understand how to not be poor, unless we decide to take over administrative control of their life, which we as a free society frown on. These are the same people on assistance programs that go out and buy a brand new iPhone, you can't teach these people to spend their money more wisely no matter how much funding you throw at it.
Storage costs are going down rapidly, around 8-14% per year. At that speed, storage will use increase and it would fund further development of storage technology. By the time fusion will be ready, storage costs will be irrelevant.
Too cheap to meter huh? Or perhaps you don't understand that what you say is impossible?
Storage always costs more than production, and always will. Decreasing trends don't last forever, and it will slow down, and in fact, it can only get so cheap. Solar is about on par with nuclear without the storage, and is getting cheaper, but can only be so cheap.
BUT, what you tried to say which I was responding to was this:
Only if you build fusion plan right now for the fraction of the cost of fission plant.
So, what you are doing is moving the goal posts. Fission already costs a fraction of solar and offshore wind, without the storage requirement. Why would you expect that fusion should cost a fraction of a fraction of all other power generation methods?
They did. Apparently, the switch to 5 GHz is what he is complaining about, he was fine with 2.4 GHz.
I am guessing, that they switched back, and his symptoms didn't go away, so now they are trying to say the school caused the issue and wouldn't fix it.

NOLA is 7 feet below sea level:

Perhaps as a solution, NOLA should have been abandoned and a new city built a little up hill.

But, can a person determine if the cows are real cows, or a computer representation of a cow? That is the real question to ask.

I wonder if that also bans the Koran as the entire bible is contained in the Koran.

Should be progressive vs interlaced. It means that the display either draws every line in one shot, or half the lines at a time.
Personally, I would love to see NASA come out with one this size:

I think that was a flagship...its arms could be classed as flagships.
