It would be my right to do so. The knee defenders are narcissistic jerks. The airlines should just disable the recline option to save the narcissists from their necessity to demonstrate their self absorption.
The aquifers are not recharging at a rate that matches our withdrawals.This fact is not much impacted by snowfall trends.... either lower the withdrawal rate to match the recharge rate, or admit you intend to drain the aquifer. Those who depend on wells will be out of luck in that case, snow or no snow.
By moneyed interests I was thinking more of those whose wealth strategy is based on constant growth. More people, to buy more stuff...even if we have to degrade one region of the country to do it. The folks who will not concede that, maybe, we need to limit growth in areas that can not sustain unlimited growth. Water is just now becoming a very conspicuous symptom of this philosophy, or so it seems to me. I could be wrong. Bur I think there is a least a bit of truth to my observation.
There is a proposal to built a freshwater pipeline from Lake Superior. I'd prefer to see growth limited to sustainable levels before they start pumping water out of the Great Lakes...but moneyed interests will probably get their way...they usually do.
Yes and no. I was not suggesting causation. Merely putting it into historical context. You are not denying that Corporate/State partnership was a characteristic of the Nazi rise to, and hold on to, power are you? I ask because the historical truth of that fact is there to find for anyone who cares to do the research.
claims during the First Gulf War. George H. Bush early in the conflict claimed that the missile was 41 of 42 against scuds. Later analysis showed that the success rate may have been less that 10%.
As a backpacker I try to cut weight because each fraction of an ounce is something I have to lift with every step I take. I do a performance to weight calculation for each contemplated gear upgrade. There are many lightweight stoves for instance that are not such a good idea because slightly heavier stoves require less fuel to bring water to a boil, and so, because of the smaller volume of fuel required, give better performance to weight. How much more does a cast aluminum pot weigh compared to a simple light weight titanium pot? Now, take that weight differential and calculate how much fuel (of that weight) that would equate to. Does that (heavier) cast pot really give you a performance boost? Will your hike/climb really be more efficient with that piece of equipment?
let's start thinking of ways to reduce the amount of plastic we produce in the first place. I'm thinking mostly about all of the plastic packaging in our Big Box stores. we really do not need, have not needed in the past, to wrap a hammer in a plastic clam shell. It's not like it will go stale if we just hang it on a hook. If you must package non perishable items (to reduce shrink for instance) put it in a cardboard box. Using our finite petroleum resources to package non perishable items is crazy.
It shouldn't matter how many of a certain color, or gender, or age there are. Quotas are discrimination. Some may argue that quotas are designed to correct for past discrimination, but only the intellectually dishonest would claim that filling a quota is not, of itself, discrimination. That's not to say that fighting discrimination is wrong, but rather, that fighting it with more discrimination is the wrong way to correct the situation.

Those "negetives" were, for the most part, there in 2008, and that did not stop her then. She has bee a Republican punching bag ever since her comments about not being a "baking cookies" kind of wife.
Dr. Strangelove references aside, long range bombers, standing off, in holding patterns, might be less likely to escalate tensions than a missile launch would.
instead of using a filament deposition strategy is brilliant! I was not aware of this method of 3D printing. I'm trying to figure out if you can easily port your 3D CAD models to this printer too.
these wells pump poisons into a geological formation that is moving around? Isn't it at least possible that these poisons can move along these "rock cracks", and, eventually get into our aquifers?

There is nothing inconsiderate about doing something that they remind you to undo before landing...

your man?
No..cause it's Canada...
We can do what we want with Lake Michigan. Canada be damned!

partnership with corporate interests in the lead up to WWII.

but that's the way to bet.

never dull.
we kind of like the longer growing season. Please don't do anything that would shorten it.
we are on the way towards a "Big Crush" and we just haven't figured out the mechanics yet.

Maybe? I don't know why else she may have been invited to speak there. Except that someone thinks she may run for elected office someday?

Yeah...but will bandwidth limitations allow us to stream the Ultra High Def stuff coming down the pike soon?
