You mean "Imperial" and not "English" measurements.
No, he/she/it probably meant "English", since what is used in the USA isn't what was used in the UK pre-metric - the two systems started the same two centuries ago, but have diverged a bit since.....
Do remember that nuclear is not considered a renewable. But since it doesn't emit CO2, it's considered "green" if you're not a rabid anti-nuke.
So, "wind, nuclear, and solar power" can quite easily generate more power than gas and coal combined, while at the same time, "renewables overall, including wind, solar, biomass, and hydropower" only beat fossil fuels 23 days....
I would think that less than one person out of 100 reads 12.
Hmm...immediate family - parents, brothers, wife, children...I think two of us (eldest brother may have stopped reading since I saw him last. Doubt it, but possible) are non-readers. The rest of us generally manage a book or more each a week.... I've done three since last weekend myself....
A lot of the perceived "needs" of children today like each having their own room or of the parents like having a separate master bathroom would be an extravagant luxury in the 1960s.
Yeppers. Didn't have a bedroom to myself till my elder brother went off to college. And my parents didn't have a master bathroom till a year or so later, as I recall....
Assuming I were my current age 50 years ago, I'd be long dead. The fix for my problems weren't even conceived of then. As is, in spite of my previous problems, and in spite of missing several internal organs, I expect I'll survive another 20 years or so (and in so doing, live longer than any of my grandparents managed).
Now, one could argue that being able to make the previous statement to a worldwide audience in almost realtime is a bad thing, but I also happen to think that that's one of the major improvements in life in the last 50 years (Yes, I was born rather before the internet existed).
And other things too numerous to mention. Hell, I was around before cable TV, much less the internet...
that they can make unidentifiable alloys, how come they can't keep pieces of their space ships from falling off? How come so much of the stuff falls off that it takes "a group of buildings" in Vegas to hold all of it?
Think "alien grad students" looking for something new for their theses on the primitives living on that planet "Dirt", or "Mud", or whatever they call it...'
Correct, it is a velocity vector rotation about the center of mass of the object. However it is a rotation in the moving frame of reference relative to the Sun, so it typically does change the velocity relative to the sun (and yes speed also, but I really mean velocity).
Of course, changing the direction of motion changes the velocity (pretty much by definition). So, no, you don't really mean velocity, you mean speed....
When one considers that Type 2 diabetes requires nothing more than controlling one's carb intake, and no other meds, it's pretty hard to see a connection between 30 million Type 2 diabetics and a need for meds that should be (more or less automatically) met by the manufacturers of meds....
"Only 10%"? That's over 30 million people. WELL past minimum efficient scale for production and distribution. Anything that affects double digit percentages of the US population is a gigantic market for a single drug.
That 10% number is for both Type 1 and Type 2 (and presumably Type 3 included with the Type 1). Type 1 diabetes (the kind you need insulin for) amounts to about 1.25 million people, so rather less than 0.5%....
Even if you develop a hydrogen jet engine storing the fuel it needs is currently something we do not have the technology for since high pressure tanks are extremely heavy since they are metal and carbon fibre ones have far lower pressures
And yet...the Saturn V managed to store LH2 just fine. As did the Space Shuttle. And both of them flew....
But, as I understand it, it is moving at greater than solar escape speed, so it didn't come from there originally.
Caveat: if there are two very large (gas giant sized) planets in the Oort Cloud, it's conceivable that its speed could be a result of near approaches to both of them in a (relatively) short period (less than one orbit)....
You're carrying concealed because you are a wildlife photographer? Are you really that worried about the wildlife seeing you're armed and shooting first?
Where I live, if you want to take photos of wildlife and feel the need to pack heat, you just do open carry. Usually of a rifle....
Shame that a Senate vote to fix this isn't sufficient. Make it a law (which requires both House and Senate to vote on the same piece of legislation), and it'll really mean something. 51 Senators can vote on anything they want to, but without legislation in the House as well, it's just grandstanding....
I mean, "Justice Minister" was a pretty solid clue they weren't talking American prisons, but we'd like enough info in TFS to know where the problem is appearing, at least....
Since California is the most populous state in the union, what affects us affects everyone.
Umm, no.
California's issues generally affect everyone eventually, but housing, being non-mobile, isn't an exportable issue. Lack of rental housing in California won't really affect the availability of rental units in New Orleans, nor will it affect the prices there.
Yeah, it's going to suck trying to rent in CA for a while, but that's going to be a purely local issue....
I consider anyone engaging in this practice (on either end of the transaction) to be a traitorous enemy of the state. If you don't, you're part of the problem.
Sorry. "Traitor" is defined in the Constitution. Pretty specifically. And giving/receiving money in exchange for favours isn't part of that definition.
If you want to get the Constitution changed to reflect your (rather extreme) views, go for it. Till then, let's just go with the Constitution....

Umm, no.
Murder rate in Africa is about twice the global average, and close to three times the USA's murder rate.
No, he/she/it probably meant "English", since what is used in the USA isn't what was used in the UK pre-metric - the two systems started the same two centuries ago, but have diverged a bit since.....

"Pounding sand" does NOT refer to weight, but to hitting sand with a mallet to compact it....

And that spelling of "should've" should've never been implemented either....
Why is it that supposedly educated people can't spell as well as the average fifth grader?
Hmm...immediate family - parents, brothers, wife, children...I think two of us (eldest brother may have stopped reading since I saw him last. Doubt it, but possible) are non-readers. The rest of us generally manage a book or more each a week.... I've done three since last weekend myself....
Even better, just ignore your account. Leave it in place, but never look at it, and never give a rat's ass what it's used for by others....
And yet, the people proclaiming themselves "liberal" tend to think that firearms are a bad thing, that the Second Amendment is inherently evil, etc...
Yeppers. Didn't have a bedroom to myself till my elder brother went off to college. And my parents didn't have a master bathroom till a year or so later, as I recall....
Old guy opinion follows:

Well, other than the whole "reusable" thing, of course. And an order or magnitude cheaper.
But, other than that, just like a Saturn V, only smaller....\
So take a vacation, then quit or retire....

Please to stop using "velocity" when you mean"speed".
Remember, speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. 60 mph is a speed, 60 mph due north is a vector.
And yet...the Saturn V managed to store LH2 just fine. As did the Space Shuttle. And both of them flew....
Well, it passed through there to get here.
But, as I understand it, it is moving at greater than solar escape speed, so it didn't come from there originally.
Caveat: if there are two very large (gas giant sized) planets in the Oort Cloud, it's conceivable that its speed could be a result of near approaches to both of them in a (relatively) short period (less than one orbit)....
I'll bite.

I can't see what sort of ghastly things might happen as a result of being able to order contacts with a fake prescription.
