Actually, no. They don't. Minimum wage for "tipped employees" in California is $2.71 per hour, so if you're not tipping then you are quite literally robbing your server (and kitchen staff).
Gorsuch is to the _right_ of Scalia on many issues. And if one of the more sane judges retires or dies (and that's quite likely) then regressives will have a bulletproof majority in the court.
Tesla makes profit on every car. It's just that they are reinvesting everything immediately. Sales of carbon credits are not the main income source for Tesla anymore.
If you believe any of your words then you're an idiot. Nobody appointed by Trump is going to abide by regular rules, and Gorsuch's ideas are to the right of Scalia. If any of the Supreme Court positions become vacant, you can count on the US to slide back into the last century.
So Democrats under Bush stonewalled ALL his nominees, right? Or torpedoed ALL his legislation, even when they were actually the ones who introduced it in the first place?
Actually, we have reliable written crop and weather records from Asia during that time. We also have tree ring data and cores from all over the world. We also know the sea level at that time. The conclusion is that there was no significant warming during that period.
The problem is that it also gets very dark during early morning in Autumn. It's not as bad if you live in Florida but up here in Washington it's really noticeable.
We don't have any large-scale structures at 700m - this is a completely new realm for engineering. I don't even think it'll be technically possible to design large-scale structures that can withstand regular 70 atm. pressure changes. And never mind that they'll be servicable _only_ by using robots. And all that to store some power (not even enough to compensate for multi-day lows in renewables)?
These structures will be VERY big and quite thick to withstand 10 atmospheres of static pressure and they'll still have to be connected with all the piping. They can certainly use multiple smaller structures, but that'll increase the cost of piping and connections. And all of these for energy storage that simply makes no sense in a pan-European energy grid.
They are still going to be assembled and maintained underwater, at the edge of feasible human diving range (technical divers are not certified for more than 100m). There's no question at all if we can build it - we totally can, just look at Transbay Tube in San-Francisco, the question is the price of doing it. It'll be literally billions of euros for very modest gains.
People here always assume that companies just throw hundreds of millions of dollars into a project like this without actually having actual engineers figure out the construction and operation costs first.
Oh, this very thing happens all the time in Europe. Sometimes on purpose (e.g. initial subsidies to drive down the price of renewables) and sometimes because of "it's green, so it's good" bandwagon.
Pretty much everything else, including buying power from neighbors with nuclear power stations. Even batteries are cheaper and easier to scale.
Seriously, think about it - 1kWh of energy at 100m depth requires storage for around 3600 liters of water at 100m depth. At this depth the only viable option for construction are robots, humans need many hours of decompression and if you go deeper it's even worse.
3600 liters is a lot - one third of a cubic meter. If you need to store something like 200MWh then you'll have to build truly great structures. Underwater.
Pumped hydro is widely used around the world. It's nothing unusual. However, this particular project is ridiculously impractical - it's quite literally cheaper to buy lithium batteries than to build big structures underwater.
Background checks are not performed at gun fairs or for private sales. And ATF is an underfunded agency stuck (by law!) with obsolete technologies (paper files), with a chief moonlighting as another agency's official. Yeah.
So that's why background checks without actual regulation with teeth are... ineffective.

The minimum allowed H1B wage is $56k. JFYI.

why is your wish for "peace and quiet" more valuable than my wish to communicate?
Because you're an anonymous asshole.

There are 5 year old Teslas out there. It appears you lose around 15% of the capacity after 150000 miles. It's not too bad compared to a regular car.

There are others who lived in the USSR with somewhat different experiences (/me points to myself). So?
Yeah. People will be literally cutting YOUR throat.
Your data is for Federal taxes only. With state taxes, sales tax and the property tax thrown in, numbers change significantly.
It seems that your post has nothing but insults at imaginary leftists.
One pixel on this graph is around 500 years. So even the most rapid changes took _thousands_ of years on your graph.

This website handily shows the projection distortions: http://thetruesize.com/ - try playing with the US and China for an example.
Why not return the tax rate to 91% for the top bracket, like in 50-s when America was supposedly great?

Dude, you're clearly a special snowflake. You're going to an eating place just a notch above McD and you expect that everyone should dance around you?

So that's why all the background checks are pretty much empty talk until these two loopholes are fixed.
