That's excellent, but don't expect enough people to use it to make any difference.

This is true for most roads, but not all. If the usage is light enough gravel is cheaper.

It is not going into the Debian default installation. The Debian default installation does not include any "desktop environment". It is going into the Gnome "desktop".

In fact it should simplify them.
Now, here is some wild speculation:
1) Could the magnetic field alter the currents? Afer all, they constitute a a conductor
moving in a magnetic field and are therefor going to be subject to some forces.
2) Might it be possible to measure the induced voltages? The Hall effect voltages?
The paper does not say that ocean currents cause the magnetic field. It hypothesizes that ocean currents cause secular variations in the magnetic field.

It's only the Federal courts that stopped COPA. Congress enacted it with enthusiasm.

Do not confound democracy with liberty.

A bizarre statement, considering the Pope's opinion of IVF in general.

Yes. The same ones who get suckered by spam.

I can't ever remember seeing anything I want to view in an ad (but then, it's quite a while since I've seen an ad at all...)
Evidently someone does, and I'm grateful.
So why haven't you done it?

Our township plows all the township roads. Milk routes and bus routes come firat, but they all get plowed. The county plows all the county roads.

Fortunately, they don't do that here.

You're a few decades off. That was the Carter administration.

I live on a gravel road. This is nonsense.

Road graders use a lot of diesel fuel.

Where did you get that bizarre idea?
That's where you set off a bunch of supernova with different intitial conditions and compare the results with theory?
Unless they are very lightly traveled properly maintained gravel roads are more expensive in the long run than the same roads paved.

1800 miles of mantle rock over the iron-nickle core. This refutes the claim that the Earth is a ball of iron-nickle with a thin skin over it.

Salt water is not magnetic at all. It is highly conductive. Look up what happens when conductors move through magnetic fields.

1800 miles is, IMHO, a bit more than a thin skin.
