If there is only one dam below Wanapum, this will be easy. But don't miss an opportunity to throw in a totally irrelevant mention of the Hanford nuclear weapons complex - you know, that place that itself gets irrelevantly dragged into any discussion of commercial nuclear power.
The finest schools have always been expensive, but US higher education as a whole was reasonably priced until the microsecond that the federal government began guaranteeing student loans. No more scratching for scholarships or hoping to find a preference category that would get you a free ride. It's as though everyone was handed a no-limit credit card to spend on college. As soon as schools figured that out, tuitions went exponential.
Another way of putting it is that right now, everybody is majoring in South Sea tulip bulbs bought on margin over the Internet. Look out below!
Information technology is the only large-scale class of science/engineering work that "activists" will still allow to be built in the US, because its origins were too decentralized to attract their attention. There is no single large structure, like a dam, that they can focus their attention against. And because this area of technology has flourished, the inevitable mistakes that occur from time to time are what makes our news. You have to look at Asian news for stories about nuclear meltdowns, cost overruns on giant buildings, and bullet train wrecks.
Good point. Is there a single power plant, dam, railway, particle collider, telescope, or city transit project that creationists have bullied out of existence based on their belief system? Now ask the same question for liberal anti-technology activists.
Self-correct: that should be "projectionists," not Mercator. We don't use Mercator any more and if we did, New Zealand would be exaggerated, not shrimpified.
My kingdom for an Edit function. I hope the dreaded Beta has one.
In New Zealand's national museum, I saw a plane world map with the standard viewpoint shifted to directly above the country. There was no distortion of the standard projection, just a shift in viewpoint that made New Zealand look much bigger and more important. On every other map, it's a tiny sliver scrunched into one corner.
NCPPR's critique might be valid if Apple were adding solar arrays on its server farms to prematurely try operating off-grid, but that is not what's happening. Apple is using small source energy to supplement the grid, not replace it. Works just like your residential solar collectors.
We label products when there is an identifiable cohort of people who have a medical need to avoid given substances. Avoiding gluten may be a fad but because there is a small number of patients who medically cannot tolerate gluten, we label for it. On the other hand, not a single medically validated case of sensitivity to GMO has surfaced in science, though hippie blogs are filled with unsupported speculation about the subject. Mandated labeling for GMO would be government imposition of religious dietary law, a violation of the establishment clause.
Then why are the anti-GMO crazies, who make creationists look like the physics staff at CERN by comparison. ripping up stands of golden rice, an open-source project that has nothing to do with Monsanto? And why do said crazies use Monsanto's legal bullying as an argument against the company's biological science?
But India is also a rapidly industrializing nation. Industrialization means infrastructure and jobs, which is what is building the water and sewer systems they need. Space programs are a natural result of the disposable income that goes with industrial development.
Actually the greatest fear of most Americans is that the EU, which began nobly as a small supranational organization unifying a set of autonomous countries as a common trade/foreign policy/defense interface with the rest of the world, is steadily devolving into the US model: a vast, corrupt, all-powerful, sealed-off central government bent on making its member states as insignificant and powerless as possible. Surely, we thought, you had seen our example and would be able to avoid making the same mistakes that we did.
And please, please, don't adopt a two-party system! As soon as you do, all will be lost.
Fifteen years ago? I was talking specifically about 1956, in the early Toronto suburbs, when my ham uncle took me to a Real Radio Shack for the first time. Now that was Stuff That Mattered.
I'm old enough to remember real Radio Shack: discrete ham radio components hanging from the ceiling like bats in a cave. Big tubs of resistors and capacitors you could root around in. Racks of tubes. And...customers! I swear I'm not making this part up RS stores had customers in those days!
Those were the days when ham radio fans had hair, and did not have oxygen tanks.
Because if she succeeds is suppressing the film, she gets to keep her head.
But meanwhile, because even the more marginally sane decisions of the "Ninth Circus" are routinely blown away by the SCOTUS, this one will certainly not survive. Garcia therefore has a window of a few months to arrange for a new identity.
If the EU isn't a country, then why do Germany and Britain have about the same degree of national autonomy within it as Iowa and Indiana? The only true counties on the continent are the Scandinavian nations and Switzerland, which remain independent and can write their own laws.

Which doesn't explain why the crazies' main anti-GMO argument is "...because Monsanto" even for non-Monsanto projects.

I would agree because when Windows is the OS being pirated, having the scammers' machines filled with viruses and adware is sweet revenge.

Label your water "Non-GMO" and the fuckwits will be lining up for it.

E-waste recycling should be an automated, domestic factory operation. This would extract far more usable value than kids running around on a dump.

In fact, this was his very first published story.
Therefore I'm in favor ot it.
Hippie chicks who put out.
No, the US Navy of course. This discovery pushes the first use of sonar back several million years.

Meanwhile, I'm immune to that horrible Apple SSL bug because my iMac is hardwired to my router and never ventures outside the office.
...that just in time for spring, tulips will now be on sale.
