Because, if we read the law literally, a law can be written where you can have arms but no: firing pin, barrel, ability to hit anything beyond 50 feet,.....
Basically neuter a gun by law but yet have a legal definition of an "arm" so that the Constitution isn't violated but yet the arms you bear are nothing." Here's a bullet firing stick that can't hit anything beyond 50 feet and if hit it's a hurtful sting - like a pinch" - It wouldn't violate the Second Amendment.
As it is, the NRA being legal gun owners, have ALL their arms recorded and cataloged by the government. So, if I were a despot, I know EXACTLY where to find my adversaries!
Just say'in.
Require them to be printed. That should solve all of your requirements.
I came here to say the same - the homepage of GeoResonance is *extremely* light on the technology they use, which mostly sounds like some kind of remote NMR. But how do they excite a signal, and how do they detect it?
The earth carries a huge magnetic field. Much bigger than the magnets in a NMR. As for the exciter - what do you think HAARP is for?
Heck, it you would have stayed awake in your marketing classes, you'd know this already.
Practically, it's too expensive to justify. It isn't like planes drop from the sky all of the time. You would need a number of expensive satellites, additional expensive equipment in the aircraft, computers and other bits and pieces to put it all together. You will probably see some politician suggest this ('think of the children...") but it won't go anywhere.
If you're talking about a real reverse osmosis (RO) system, then they are anything but simple. I have one on my sailboat (actually two of them). They are entertaining collections of hoses and wires and little computer gizmos and switches. Hours of geeky entertainment, but hardly plug and play. And contamination is an issue for any collection of hoses and pipes. I pull the filters out of the system and chlorine flush them twice a year. They have little tiny UV lights to zap the water.
If I had paying passengers, I would have to have the system certified and inspected by the state. Hardly assembly programming but you have to have a number of physical and intellectual skills to keep them running.
An technical article or a chapter in some random science fiction magazine? You don't 'cut a hole' into the earth's surface where the crust is thinnest - that happens to be deep underwater.
And it would be quite a bit more effort than 'just' building an air seal.
In fact, it's a perfectly insane concept. You might consider putting the material near a subducting tectonic plate and plan on the downward flow of material trapping and subsequently diluting the radioactive material. You don't have to drill a big hole, you 'just' have to wait a couple of thousand years while the material gets incorporated into the plate, all the while worrying about leakage of the containers.
It really doesn't have much to do with fracking technology per se. The main link would be that, because of the benefits of fracking, the resources under their property is now economically viable to extract. Fracking is used as a term of convenience and because it's a nice boogy man.
However, as is usual, TFA is incomprehensible as written. The family has '20 chemicals' in their bloodstream? Congratulations - you're alive. The symptoms seemed consistent with exposure to organic solvent vapors. Which, of course, you are supposed to avoid. It's likely that the Nasty Petrochemical Corp sited the well heads much too close to the animals and people - that may have been unavoidable given constraints of the lease and so the judgement is a reasonable one given the family's discomfort, additional expenses and potential for future harm.
But as a general argument against fracking- it's not going to be that.
Maybe they are also selling the utilities other info besides just the thermostat settings - obviously the big G has other probes into your life and perhaps they are correlating the power use info with data gleaned from other products / sources (like that camera in the Nest smoke detector - say 'Hi' to your cameraman).
Another Alaskan here (from SE) - just wanted to point out that the most popular bumper sticker in the state is a small black square that says "Cut, Kill, Dig, Drill". In those four words are the summation of the pretty much the entire of Alaska's ethos.....
Hah. Go ahead and try it you turkeys! We'll just nip this bud right next to the branch. Even if you somehow manage to get past our defenses we have our own doomsday machine.

Cars aren't typically used in life and death situations. Guns are. Changes the game, so to speak.

You need a baseline here: What is the percentage of non gun owners who will 'pass' a psychiatric evaluation.
And was does a psychiatric evaluation mean? How do you 'pass' it?
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.
But did you reverse the polarity of the tachyon beam?
We didn't have cell phones. Or car accidents. Steve Jobs was still alive.
It was paradise.
They say 8", but their wives privately shared that they were only 6" on a good day.
5 1/4.
Or, for some unfortunates, 3.5

It's not even remotely original.
You need to take your shirt off as well.

Technically, it is certainly possible to do.
Practically, it's too expensive to justify. It isn't like planes drop from the sky all of the time.

Your analysis intrigues me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
How did you first hear about the ISEE-3 story?
Or by Star Trek?
This is what I recalled when you mentioned punching into the mantle. Doesn't sound very easy at all....
This "solves" a problem which has already been solved in a superior fashion.
I'll bet the first solution wasn't patentable and the newer one is.
Progress!

And what exactly happened to you? Lose your Slashdot UID? Get allergic to sunlight?
Did something really bad happen and you were forced to buy an iPad?
Ah, economics then.

There are no easy answers, no low hanging fruit.

Nope. The jurisdiction concerned about the information would need two things: Your physical presence and a rubber hose.

We can still nuke it, Alaska too.

And we have volcanoes. And lots of sharks.
Wriggle in fear you puny 'down southers'!
