Michel Mulder, who led a Dutch sweep of the medals in the men’s 500, offered another explanation. “It could also be,” he said of the Americans, “that they were just outclassed here.”
The issue is that these same Americans have been winning races against the same competitors over the last two years. Brittany Bowe is a world record holder, but came in 8th this week.
To the American athlete's credit, they have been downplaying the suit's impact and giving credit to the winners. The controversy is coming from the media.
That it'll be attributed to a improper maintenance/improper sealing of some kind against corrosion.
A great thing about electric cars is that their maintenance schedule is very light. On my Leaf, for the first 10 years it's pretty much just cabin air filters and brake fluid. No way that a Model S requires any kind of service in the first 4 months.
My point is that the crackdown was *not* based on the fact that they were polygamists. It's because they were polygamists who were abusing children and committing welfare fraud. Their PR effort was "we're being persecuted due to our taboo religious beliefs".
But promise two women you'll never leave them and it's prison for you, mister.
You can promise 100 people that you'll never leave them and the government won't care at all. The government's crack down on polygamist sects was based on sexual abuse of minors and welfare fraud. In polygamist communities in Utah and Arizona, almost every family involved one legal marriage and the other wives file for welfare as unwed mothers with unknown fathers. It's impossible for one guy to support a dozen kids in the middle of nowhere, so they scam the government for grocery money.
Read the testimony of the 14 year olds that Warren Jeffs pressured into "spiritual marriages" with older men. This was not the Big Evil Government picking on an innocent minority group.
You're ignoring the increased power cost to build, ship, and regulate loads of power over long distances.
Co-generation allows one to REDUCE power used, REDUCE pollution (since site location means no transmission), and also reduce heat impacts on the environment.
All supposed aims of the German government.
Plus, it's cheaper.
But it does require you to stop subsidizing old inefficient methods of industrial production.
Which, surprisingly, creates more German jobs for Germans.
Can't have that, right?
High voltage transmission loses less than 1% per 100 miles. Germany isn't even 500 miles across.
You think that building 200 power stations that involve drilling 5000m deep holes will have no environmental impact?
Yes, I'm familiar with the concept of co-generation. A 5MW geothermal plant costs about $25M. Replacing a 1GW nuclear reactor with 200 of those would cost $5B. That's a 20%-40% price premium over nuclear.
Or just use the excess geothermal power available from up north.
Could you provide more details on this? The only geothermal plants I see in Germany are tiny 5MW deals. It would take 200 of those to replace one nuclear reactor.
I think your cologne is discourteous. We need to make cologne on airplanes illegal. So is your flatulence, let's make that illegal too
Those restrictions are not enforceable. It's not obvious who's wearing cologne or who farted. It is obvious if someone is speaking on a phone, and it's easy to make them stop.
remember, most Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act
That's true but highly misleading. Voting on the Civil Rights Act went entirely by geography, not party. In the 60 years since, the Southern states that opposed it are now solidly Republican.
Today's CPUs have features 22 nanometers across. In 20 years it will be a fraction of that. Short of nanobot assemblers, no 3D printer will be able to produce that kind of detail in the foreseeable future.
That reactor is consuming energy. So, no, it doesn't need to be "scaled up". It needs to start producing energy. Scientists have been "five to ten" years away from that milestone for 40 years.
Obama ordered Gitmo closed on literally his first day on office. Congress overruled him. Sorry that constitutional checks and balances are inconvenient.
or a cell phone meta-data-mining program that provides the target is rather less important than the fact that blowing up a building to kill a target is an act of war and really not an appropriate solution.
Every drone strike is authorized by the government of the country involved. That doesn't make it right, but it prevents it from being an act of war.
Interestingly, the only foreign operation that wasn't cleared was the raid into Pakistan to kill Bin Laden. That was an armed invasion into an allied country. If that operation had gone poorly, it would have been Obama's ass.

Americans are very F A T and quite poor at sport.
The US has won 1063 gold medals at the Summer Olympics. The next highest existing country has won 245.

Because musicians are well known for their ability to negotiate complicated contracts with dozens of large companies.
AM radio is almost dead, and FM radio is dying because of the amount of commercials they need to air to be profitable.

The Judicial Branch regularly rules that the Legislative branch has exceeded their constitutional authority. So there absolutely are limits.
1964 was the big one.
some morons believe there's a clause which then basically says "By the way, the government can do whatever it wants with no limits."
Are you aware that the Judicial Branch exists?
Article I, Section 8. Between the Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause, Congress clearly has the constitutional authority to do this.
It's weird how people screaming the loudest about the constitution seem to know the least about it.

I fly all the time and I haven't seen those built in phones in many years.

That's true but highly misleading. Voting on the Civil Rights Act went entirely by geography, not party. In the 60 years since, the Southern states that opposed it are now solidly Republican.
Here's how the voting went-
House of Representatives:
Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
Senate:
Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)
Name one race in the past 6 years where the Democrats nominated an unelectable candidate and lost what should have been an easily winnable election.

Gitmo closed yet?

You know what else has plenty of oxygen and aluminum? Earth.
You don't notice the typos that have already been fixed because there's nothing to notice.
These weren't typos. This was assault and battery on the English language.
You state that the US has "zero space stations". That's not true. We have a majority stake in the space station.
