Well, not to put too fine a point on it, basically:
Obama's administration filled out the paperwork and submitted it in triplicate.
Trump's administration just used blank paper with the words "Immagrints Bad" on it.
Democrats are the ones who pushed the narrative that we are at war with Russia.
Where have you been the last 70 years? Until Trump, it has been more the Republicans pushing Russia / the USSR as the enemy ever since I can remember, except for a brief respite after the USSR broke up.
No, fuckwit, simple physics will tell you is not random. The fan blades are moving in a very well ordered direction, and Newton figured out the rules.
Yeah, because there's no possibility that a blade could ricochet or another piece of debris could carom off in a different direction after a collision with the rotating blades.
Does an engine originally designed in the '90s count as a "modern engine"?
I recall that not long ago there was an engine failure at O'Hare. The plane was on the ground, not in the air, and debris was found more than a half of a mile away from the aircraft.
You just have to know a) where you actually are; and b) what the tax rate is where you actually are.
Where are you, actually, when you do an online sale with the website server in one place, the warehouse the goods are shipped from another, the customer's computer (or possibly cell phone) in a third place, their ISP in another, the customer's on-line account from which the money is withdrawn in yet another server, and the delivery to yet another address?
And why should I expect a mom and pop store in Texas or Georgia, or elsewhere to know the tax rate in, for example, downtown Chicago, where there is a state sales tax, a county sales tax, a city sales tax,and a special taxing district between Navy Pier and McCormick Place, combined with differing exemptions for food and medicine and differing definitions for what counts as food or medicine?
The GP had a good point: set up a reporting regime, and let the state collect a use tax if they want. Illinois already does this for automobile "sales" (use) tax.
While ethylene glycol is considered toxic and propylene glycol is a food additive, both break down quickly in soils, unless the burden is so great that oxygen deprivation becomes a factor, as noted in the quote above.
Most airports (at least those I've done work for) don't do anything special to contain the runoff from deicing, other than to not discharge it to storm sewers leading to rivers and lakes.
Also, airports don't use ethylene glycol, they use propylene glycol for deicing. (For anti-icing, they use propylene glycol-based fluids modified to have high viscosity at low shear rates and low viscosity at high shear rates: that way it stays on the wings until the plane gets near takeoff speed.)
When my son was a baby, we tried some biodegradable diapers. Unfortunately, the baby wet them at night and they started biodegrading before we changed them in the morning. Somewhat messy.
If they want to have this happen they have to show how CONSUMERS are being harmed in some tangible (mostly financial) way.
Consumer financial harm is not the only bad result that can come from monopolization of markets. The view that monopolies should only be restrained if it could be proven that they harm consumers financially was put in place by the Reagan administration in order to be more friendly to the big corporations. Before that, monopolies were considered harmful to the principles of freedom, and it was sufficient to show that free competition was being restrained in order for the US government to fight monopolists.
Maybe where you live you contract away your legal rights all the time. However in most sensible legal jurisdictions you simply can't.
That, of course, depends on the particulars.
You have a right to free speech, but non-disclosure agreements are legal and enforceable under normal circumstances (exceptions may include criminal conduct or compelled court testimony)
You have a right to sue to recover losses, but it's common for people to sign out-of-court settlements that are legal and enforceable, even if they seem unfair to one of the parties. (Unless a court finds some reason for it to be unconscionable, such as a grossly unfair settlement pushed on a vulnerable party by a powerful party who was aware they were screwing them.)
YMMV, IANAL, etc.
We had a stupider game called 'javelin'. We took a sharpened broomstick and tried to pierce a milk carton hung in the tree. But hey, rather than running back and forth to retrieve the 'javelin', why don't you throw from that side of the tree and I'll throw from this side? Which resulted in the inevitable stitches in my friend's forehead when he wasn't looking and I shouted "heads up".
Or they could do what every other kid did in the suburbs before bike lanes, rid their damn bike in the street.
So you think my 10 year old daughter should have been riding on the gravel shoulder of a 2-lane county road with a 45 mph speed limit? Because that's what she would have been doing if she rode her bike in the street to her best friend's house. Personally, I encouraged her to cut through the neighbor's yard and jump their fence to avoid that road. (Not that it was my idea to move out of the city)
I have used BricsCAD on Linux, a few years ago, and it was pretty good then. I would still be using it if my workplace hadn't issued me a Windows 7 laptop with AutoCAD and Revit on it (with the expectation of me working on the train and during weekends).
Also, we'd be smart to start pushing better building science into "code minimum" building specifications.
You mean like this? Which is already adopted by my state into their building codes, and overrides local home rule codes. (The state also allows use of ASHRAE 90.1, which is very similar)

No, January 0 is obviously the same day as December 31, that is, the last day of the year.

It depends on the type of glass. Glass is generally transparent to near-infrared, but not to the longer wavelengths.
I already have plenty of "places" for my notes, and they belong in the file types I keep them more than they would in "one place".
He was essentially appointed to the FCC board by Mitch McConnell, and Trump appointed him chairman.
Yeah, because there's no possibility that a blade could ricochet or another piece of debris could carom off in a different direction after a collision with the rotating blades.
The uncontained engine failure a few years ago at O'Hare was reported as a GE CF6. Is that related to the CFM56?

No, the sensible thing to do is to drop a check in the mail. As long as it's postmarked by the due date, you're considered to be paying on time.
I don't like sales tax, but it's still better than property tax, where I have to pay tax on my house whether I can afford to or not.

Or it could be because the expensive part they're replacing is "no longer in stock" and the warranty lets them use cheaper replacement parts.

I am a baby boomer and I never thought that. My parents, however, did.
If you've ever talked to a teen in any generation, you should know that a whiny "I'm Bored" is one of the most common complaints known to humankind.

No mod points today, but the above post makes excellent points.
