You own NO air above you or your house. The FAA regulates everything or flying would be impossible with a patchwork of 5,000 local laws. Just FYI, if I am flying my own airplane over your house I am legally required to be 500 feet away from you in the country and 1,000 feet above you in a populated area.
Not sure if you have been eating the bottom paint or what, but lead keels do NOT blister or leach AT ALL. That is one reason we like them, as opposed to crappy iron keels that rust and spall all the paint off. My boat is 40 years old and I have had exactly zero problems with my 5,000 pound lead keel in all that time. Also note that lead ballasted powerboats are very rare and lead ballasted barges do not exist.
Don't get too worried. Annual USA avgas consumption is 0.14% of car gas consumption. Of course the government, by mandating alcohol in gas, removed the ability of about 80% of the fleet to run on nice lead free car gas. Now I use toxic TEL in my gas AND use toxic TCP to keep the engine from getting lead fouled. Good going EPA - NOT!
I am sure there are 12 year olds on here. As for the FAA - commercial pilot here speaking - they are VERY good at figuring out anything that even smells like commercial ops.
I thought you could not get to the edge and look back. IIRC the universe is made to work "asteroids game" style so when you get to the left hand edge of it you just end up over on the right hand side going back in.
You are not the only one. I got some oxycodone for a neck issue from my doctor and I ended up shitcanning it. Advil worked better and the oxycodone just made me itch, disturbed my sleep, and did not much for pain relief. I do feel for addicts, but I could be addicted to hitting my thumb with a hammer easier than the *codones. My cat got a fentanyl patch after cancer surgery and he was out there. He would just pass out in random places.
I would we wary of hiring a postdoc as an entry level engineer. AFAIK this type of person would be doing original research, i.e. SCIENCE. Also from what I have seen with "engineers", 90 years of school and 37 degrees are still than actual real world experience. I used the quote because I run across engineers who don't seem to have ever actually got their hands dirty with tubes and wires.
Absent immigration controls, I don't think the 1st world would exist for long. Pretty much everyone that could find a way would show up in the EU and USA/Canada until we are as bas as where they came from. "Snow Crash" detailed this scenario. I think the quote was "the invisible hand spread everyone and all the money around until the whole world looked prosperous to the average Pakistani bricklayer".
Maybe if his income depended on it. This is kind of a 'tragedy of the commons" in reverse. Factory owner A does not suffer when he cuts pay in half. He has a lot more money! But when EVERY factory cuts their pay to slave wages all of a sudden no one has any customers.
Cops can and do have issues with home life and "normal" people. Can you imagine working the worst part of the "hood" and seeing every kind of violence and human degredation possible and then going to the suburbs and turning your ghetto survival skills off like a light switch?
You don't HAVE to, but the nice parts of the city center are VERY expensive. They are in high demand. Likewise a good neighborhood close in with good schools is VERY expensive. The calculation is like so: 1. kids (yes/no). If kids are yes, you pay $$ for living near a good school or pay $$ for private school. 2. Size of house and yard. The more you are willing to drive, the more house and land you get for the same money. For a young single person this would mean nothing. They would rather live in a city and walk to a club than mow a lawn. With kids, a nice yard for the 2.3 kids and dogs to run around in is worth a lot. So it isn't that USAians are stupid or just love driving. There is a rational calculus being made of lifestyle at home vs. drive to work. Also note that 1945 to some point near the end of the 20th century was the Age of the Car in America and not much in the way of public transport was done. Combine that with the 1960s era race riots in cities that drove anyone with cash out of urban areas for decades and well......here we are with cities just now being cool again along with bikes and trains.
America (USA) is a big place ;
We also change jobs more frequently than the average European. Moving near work for me would have involved about 12 moves in 20 years with my contracts sending me 20-70 miles in various directions from home. Then you get the fun of a major rainstorm/snowstorm/flood/tanker truck wreck/etc. leaving you inching along at a slow walk in freezing or boiling hot weather. An electric car would totally suck for that.
I live in a neighborhood with private roads that we maintain. We have a gate and shut the road to all but residents with pass cards when we don't want strangers driving in, which is usually May to October.
From 1776 to 1945:
AFAIK we were all wins except the War of 1812, which was just a giant clusterfuck. We only won after the buzzer, so the shot doesn't really count. The other side didn't really win either, so all in all a waste of resources.
1946 - present. Korea was tie. Everything else was along the lines of win or get bored and go home. No one can stand toe-to-toe with the USA and win an all-out war. What they CAN do is just make sure they start with a third world dump that can hardly be made worse by more fighting and just not quit. We'll get bored and leave sooner or later;)
My dogs, when outside, have a very different bark for "Hey look at that! A dog/cat/mailman/anything that moves/etc. is visible through the fence" and "let me in".
They also lie. If they bark at me while I am watching TV, I ask if they want bones or to go out. They point at the kitchen or the door with their noses. They learned I always let them out - don't want to clean up dog crap - but only give them bones sometimes. So they ALWAYS point at the door and then if they want bones circle back to the kitchen.
I got one and it - IMHO - sucked. You needed to be too far back to fit in the living room. It was too narrow a view. The novelty wore off very fast when yoou got tired of it not resolving your movements correctly.
I have one someplace in a box. We used it about a month and decided it was useless crapware. The old WII does bowling SO much better than the kinnect is about the first thing you find out. It was always going out of area or not sensing the right motion and otherwise being useless.

AFAIK Venuzuela has one of the highest - if not the highest - murder rates of any country on the planet.

Lead ballast does not disolve in water. I would be pretty unhappy if it did, my boat would lose stability every year!
Speaking of morons, the FCC could not care less what you do with drones as long as the radio is licensed correctly ;)

Is this basically turpentine causing this?
Seriously now: Doses are not the same for all. Even worse, apparently just TWO of these could be fatal to some people.
Did Tesla BUY slashdot or do they just blow you daily? I think Tesla stories are hitting 2 a day now.

The rest of the world seems to get better internet. Are we just too stupid to do it here or ????
Mint *IS* very good. Basically a Windows 7 desktop :)
I put it on two new laptops I got because I hate fking Windows 8 so much.
