I'd wonder if the following would be a good balance.
1. Mainstream deposit/returnable bottles (not required, just make it a thing again) 2. curbside recycling for aluminum 3. incinerate the rest after dragging a magnet through it to pull out recycleable iron content
Incineration would solve for Styrofoam (it's a great fuel) as well as polyethylene scraps in the ocean.
depends on the diesel. my 8,400lb truck can do 0-60 in 5.x seconds and has over 1,100 lb-ft of torque. also, with compound turbos, it spools beaucoup fast
you went a different direction. when you said "...you need the town to run the public transport." i thought you meant that if the government ran lyft/uber, they'd suck as much as the public agency transport (almost all bus/train passenger moving in the US is government run, and it is crazy expensive per person/mile, and usually sucks for the user). uber/lyft are private companies that have to fight to provide a service people will pay for.
what if the plantation is near a 'wetland'? = environmentalist shit fit
what if the plantation displaces some native vegetation = environmentalist shit fit
what if the plantation needs water = environmentalist â¦
yadda yadda. they've made it impossible to do anything and they, along with the tort lobby requiring engineers to overbuild everything, have 10x'd the cost of most projects.
you'll soon see a day in the US when people and governments literally will not be able to get a road/rail project done.
example, in seattle, adding a BIKE LANE on an existing street is running at $12M/mile due to the compounding regulations...
No. in the US, the lienholder is formally recorded on the title until the debt is paid, then a new title is issued, by the state, after sign off from all parties, removing them and leaving just the owner on it.
not to mention we also had a HUGE airshow this weekend with the blue angels, and had the airspace effectively shut down. they may have been providing security for that event. who knows?
except in Europe. the UK had a problem with some of the more recent attacks of having to go and get guns during the emergency, as the bobbies don't always carry guns
there are a lot of things where the supplier bears the cost of a fat supply chain, but society bears the cost of a too thin supply chain.
For example, transformers. We should have TONS of spares in case of EMP, but who would pay for them. the answer is no one, so expect it to take YEARS to build enough new transformers
serious question. how much ass wiping and spoon feeding do we need to deliver with a nearly free entitlement? seriously.
it's not good enough to provide subsidized transit to people, we also have to hand deliver the means to order it? no amount of responsibility on the gift-receiver to figure something out on their own?
when my kids were three, and they saw their first commercials they said "we hate 'mercials!" since we mostly would watch DVDs or on demand. (Dis Jr. on demand is pretty much commercial free)
I realize they theoretically "can" hold more capacity, but I would suggest that they WON'T move more people per hour than the two dedicated traffic lanes do today.
according to the DOT, I90 express lanes move about 7,000 vehicles an hour at peak, including buses and carpools https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/North...
ST projects (and they usually offer VERY optimistic projections) that in 2030, the entire eastlink project will carry 50,000 riders/day. So, in 13 years, along the whole route, ST "projects" that the trains will "almost" carry the amount that cars carry today, for free.
but overall, yeah, they're a great boondoggle. tell me again why not just more buses,a nd keep the lanes available for carpools, buses, ambulances, etc?
with the new requirements to keep "spinning capacity" at a higher level than used to be required. Hydro is a *really* nice way to do that. just run enough water through the turbines to keep them in sync with the grid with basically zero load on them and you can drop a full load on them pretty damned quick if you lose a transmission line or see a spike in demand.
bad example. the transportation "planners" in Seattle, a region growing by leaps and bounds, is REDUCING freeway capacity by removing the 6 lane Alaskan Way Viaduct and REMOVING the two express lanes across I90 to put choo choo trains on them in a region that already has some of the worst gridlock in country.
Can you go ahead and couch surf, get established, and then move the family out after 6 months? Yeah it sucks.
In fact, could you live with your inlaws for 6 months (maybe just you), while you get established in a new job, then when you feel your employment is steady (you know the politics/etc) move your family out and get your own place together?
i agree, but there is a fine balance, as these compounds are the best defense we have against WDOs like carpenter ants. I can attest that they work well in those cases.
I wonder if much stricter compliance to labeled usage would be helpful?
yes, and light trucks don't get much better mileage than in 1978 either.
the massive benefits of modern fuel injection, FADEC and other enhancements have mostly been squandered on more weight (heavier vehicles, partially for "safety") and to work through the catalytic.
very, very recently (ecoboost) and a few others have brought some marked improvement, but it feels like a fraction of what we should have had. I could get 20 MPG in my 79 scout with a v8, carbeurator and "barely" electronic ignition.
the old tractors would run on old motor oil too (that you could get for free at the corner garage or from your other equipment).
you could start them on a cup of gas, switch to running on oil, run on old oil all day and then that night use another cup of gas to clean up the plugs and carb. So two cups a day of "paid for" fuel.
moonshine is a little more valuable than gas so even with zero regulations, I think folks would just buy gas and drink/sell the shine

You could use the fb map vs actual census numbers and find where the percentage of people on Facebook is lowest and move there

maybe eagles? they can kill rats and some of the other birds, but they won't eat all of the seagulls.
always be learning. i can't imagine how people go through life without learning the next skill/trade/trick
also, cannot fiberglas meet many of the things that steel is used for?

on that vein... we don't pay sales tax on houses in WA. do most states charge that???
we do have a 1.78% excise tax on sale of real estate, charged to the seller, but we don't apply the 10.5% sales tax to homes (cars we do though)

The other thing that email is UNIQUELY great at is for having more than a few bytes of info.
Great, you're hired.
OK, sure, that could be text or call or email, but WtF are the next steps?
Employment packet? Call Tim in HR to schedule your background check? What's his number again, here, let me find a pencil and write that down
or send me a fucking email with the info I need.
again, fine if some people want to hear via text they got it or not, but even the text would need to include "look for an email with details"
BTW, it's never just "you're hired"
it usually is "we'd like to make you and offer"
then you dicker on start date and pay. I don't really want to do that via SMS.
maybe i'm doing it wrong, but I actually like to get a useful amount of information, beyond twitter length

the same one for the last 20 years (car)? is it almost fixed?
