Yes. Also UAVs / UASs are not limited to only military applications and even within military applications only a few are weaponized. They just happen to get most of the media attention.
The administration has no idea : 1. how many have insurance now that did not a year ago 2. how many do not have insurance now that did a year ago 3. how many that have insurance through the federal exchange have paid for it 4. how many that have insurance through the federal exchange have a significantly higher rate and/or deductible than before
An interesting idea. Distributed refining capacity would sound like a good idea.
I suspect that it was considered. At least, I would hope that it was considered. I wonder what the cost, lead time, environmental requirements, etc. are for constructing a refinery.
I went to graduate school at a state university from '98-'00 and I did it with minimal student loans.
I was (am) in the National Guard (no education benefits, just the paycheck) and I always had another part-time job. The first year as a Graduate Assistant was teaching a introductory computer class and after that as a part-time employee for a state department on campus. My car was 10 years old, had well over 100,00 miles, was mechanically sound and had been paid off for several years. I lived in my friend's basement for cheap rent and it was far from the lap of luxury. Somehow I still managed to have a pretty hot girlfriend. Yeah, I know... bring on the jokes about basement and girlfriend.
My first job after graduating paid less than $40k and I was debt free within 5 years.
The point is that it is possible to live on little if you have prepared for it and manage what you do have right.
I found a hardcover copy of "Seizing the Enigma" in a bookstore discount bin well over ten years ago. I found it to be an excellent read. The only (very minor) criticism I would have is the title. The book seemed as much (if not more) about the Allied prosecution of the German U-boat war as about the Enigma. Again, a very minor point about what seemed to be a very well researched and written book.
I still find it very interesting how Poland's role in breaking German encryption played in the overall history at that time. Poland very well understood that they were in a bad place (geographically and militarily) with regard to Germany and their military buildup and therefore, had a interest in trying to learn the details of Germany's intentions. I found Marian Rejewski to be a particularly interesting character. A Polish mathematician who was certainly smart, but not brilliant. Through determination (and some use of statistics) he was able to work with 2 other mathematicians to break a Enigma-encoded message. I find him to be a personally inspiring individual.
I cannot help but wonder what is happening in modern Poland with the actions of Russian and eastern Ukraine. Having joined NATO and the EU, I would still expect that they are more than a little interested in knowing what the intentions are of their neighbors.
The "noise" that noise-cancelling headphones cancel are sounds that have a consistent volume, like the constant drone (no pun intended) of the aircraft engines. The headphones do not cancel sounds like other people's conversations, at least not very well.
Hey, I live in Iowa and I take offense to the idea that it could possibly smell worse than Washington.
Reminds me of the lawyer joke (told to me by a lawyer). An angry man walks into a bar, slams his fist on the bar and says "All lawyers are assholes." Another man stands up and says "I resent that!" The first replies with "Why? Are you a lawyer?"
That is a fair question and I agree with your point. What frosts my cake is when the left throws out their line that people need to pay their "fair share."
Both terms suffer from the same problem. They are sufficiently common that everybody has their own idea of what is meant without the speaker being taken to task for defining their terms.
doctrine (from dictionary.com) noun 1. a particular principle, position, or policy taught or advocated, as of a religion or government 2. something that is taught; teachings collectively 3. a body or system of teachings relating to a particular subject
I purposely left off their examples, which are religious, although there is no reason that doctrine is inherently so.
Maybe I am not so bright, but I am not seeing a definition of the term "scientific doctrine" as anything more (or less) than "a body or system of teaching related to science."
I suspect you may be confusing "doctrine" with "dogma."
Oh, this is no such thing as a Caucasians with no accent. All do. Trust me.
I disagree. Midwestern / plains states, i.e. Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, and some of the neighboring states. There are some pockets of Scandahovian, but for the most part are accent-free.
There was an interesting op-ed in the Washington Post by Oona Hathaway and Scott Shapiro ("Attack without UN approval illegal"). I read a re-post of it in Stars & Stripes (Digital Edition, Main Edition, August 30, page 12). I cannot find a direct link to the Post and S&S uses flash, so you will have to dig it out yourself. It is worth reading.
Your first point implies that Nixon would have been perfectly legal in ordering the Watergate break-in, wiretapping, etc. As I recall, the final answer was that he didn't order, but did try to cover-up that it happened.
Your second point would also imply that the cover-up of which Nixon was a part, was not illegal.
I agree with you; kind of scary. Once started, where does it end?

When I read about the idea of commercializing this product I thought to myself why should these types of gear be only for replacing limbs?
Would it be useful to have a third, fourth, or more arm attachments?
Sure. That -would- be neat, but then you couldn't buy shirts off the rack anymore.
Yes. Also UAVs / UASs are not limited to only military applications and even within military applications only a few are weaponized. They just happen to get most of the media attention.
If you like the taste of diet coke better, you are a weirdo, but at least I can respect that.
At last! I have an explanation.
Actually, I refer the taste of Coke Zero slightly over diet Coke and both over sugared Coke. But what do I know? I am a weirdo.

If "Condoleezza Rice" were substituted for "Susan Rice", would you opinion would be the same?
If yes, then I can respect the consistency in your view.

..and builds a portfolio based on insider knowledge (as is legal for all Senators) and retires much wealthier than when she entered office.
If anyone wants to be thoroughly disgusted by Congress's insider information, read the book titled "Throw Them All Out."
Nice idea, but it doesn't work.
I fly a fair amount.

A friend of mine has a pickup that can burn E85 and he tested mileage with different blends.
His conclusion was that although E85 was the cheapest per gallon, the most expensive blend was the cheapest per mile.

Exactly what are "excessive taxes"?

SensitiveMale, that comment doesn't seem very sensitive of you.
No, I could not resist.
It's considered as neutral of an American accent as you can have, and is widely used in broadcasting. It is, nevertheless, an accent.
Neutral. Ok. I'll agree with that.
Thanks for the civil reply.

I lost my mod points yesterday, otherwise I would have used them here.
They told me it was a salad bowl (seriously).
I had a history professor who referred to it as a "giant tossed salad."

Very well stated. I wish I had mod points now.
