Nunes and his ilk no doubt have multimillion parachutes set up by the Kochs, the Scaifes, and other wealthy conservative benefactors who have a tangible state in perpetuating their wealth at the expense of the United States.
No doubt, but the Kochs don'
t really like Trump and campaigned against him. (to the extent possible when you're using "issues" PACs that are not allowed to be directly tied to politicians' campaigns.)
I've worked for governments and businesses, big and small. Some of the large private businesses can give government a good run for the money on inefficiency and incompetency. In fact, I've never found governments to be particularly incompetent in my line of work (consulting engineer for construction projects), just very slow and inefficient, mainly due to government requirements on being fair.
Yeah, except most people aren't wealthy enough to just get up and move to another state without the larger consideration of where they can make a good living.
Wearing a helmet on a bicycle is rather pointless to begin with.
My son fell while riding and hit his helmet on a short post sticking out of the ground. The helmet split but his head was fine. So I would advise against actually believing that wearing a helmet is pointless.
Having to distribute a key as long as a message is not very easy . ..
Actually, that is extremely easy.
(Hint: it doesn't have to be done electronically, it can be done ahead of time by mail, FedEx, or even in person, using any medium, even paper.)
Also, it can be further obfuscated by steganography or "algorithms like RSA and AES" that you say "are pretty simple to implement" if you think the one-time pad distribution is insecure.
Sounds like a civil case then, not a criminal one.
OK, I know the US legislators have bowed down to their mickey mouse masters and made such things criminal, but they had been civil matters before.
Well, if you want to go that way with the meaning of profane (towards the religious definition), then anything not sacred would be profane, so every headline/. ever had would be profane.
Apparently lots of places in NYC. "The median household income across New York City stands at $50,711, according to 2010-2012 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau."
You remind me of my old boss, who said, "Why would I pay $600 for a fax machine, when FedEx is reimbursable?" (which he said about a month before he bought a fax machine, because so many of his clients were trying to fax him and complaining they couldn't.)
But it has nothing to do with Bitcoin, which at this point is no longer a currency, but just pure speculation and gambling.
353 million cubic feet of air per day seems like an awfully small number for a city. I've been involved in projects (for building HVAC) with the capacity to handle well over 500 million cubic feet of air per day, and that's just for one building, not a city. Granted, those systems might not 'purify' the air, but many of them have had high efficiency particulate arrestance filters and/or activated carbon filters. To put it the way Solandri did, HVAC systems can typically turn over the air in occupied spaces 6 times per hour, which would be equivalent to a layer of air 18 meters thick per hour.
"Natural" gas at your home is almost 100% methane, with a trace amount of sulfur-containing compounds added to give it that smell. It is refined to get that way. Natural gas at the wellhead is anywhere from 70% methane or less to 99% methane, depending on the field and extraction methods. Natural gas often also contains significant amounts of ethane, propane, butane, and even heavier hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur compounds, and helium. It rarely contains significant amounts of hydrogen not combined with carbon or other elements. Fracking extracts oils as well as gas, especially when the well is young, and has many of the contaminants you would to find in shale oil.
You are correct. The 380 allows a single plane to handle more passengers, in an airport that can handle its' size. But you still have to deplane and emplane those passengers, you need multiple jetways to do it anywhere near efficiently, and you need sufficient circulation area for passengers to walk, a big enough place for waiting, sufficient baggage checking and security screening, and enough amenities like food service, toilets, etc. So the 380 doesn't help unless the airport's passenger accommodations have spare capacity.
You're leaving out the most important part. Previously, only the larger planes could handle the longer, direct routes. Smaller planes have been getting longer ranges, and that's one of the main things that has enabled more direct flights bypassing hub and spoke. Though I typically fly in and out of main hubs, anyway, so I don't quite see it happening in my experience.
The other thing is that you can't just fly a 380 into any old airport any time you want to. Many, especially the smaller airports, would have trouble handling the huge aircraft. You'll probably need to modify some your hangars to accommodate the 380, too. Also lot of concourses and waiting areas can't handle the large number of passengers all at once. You need at least two jetways to deplane and emplane passengers, so a single plane takes up two gates and/or you have to do a lot of modifications to the concourse to handle it - not much improvement with passenger handling capacity there.
Almost everything stated above by AC is wrong, and AC apparently doesn't know the difference between Pay-As-You-Go and a Ponzi scheme. (Not that SS was supposed to be entirely Pay-As-You-Go - SS "invested" in US Treasury bonds, as they were required to do by Congress. Unfortunately, the US probably won't be able to pay off all of their bonds unless inflation heats up significantly.)

Grids were connected to multiple power sources and interconnected with each other long before wind or solar became an issue.
No doubt, but the Kochs don' t really like Trump and campaigned against him. (to the extent possible when you're using "issues" PACs that are not allowed to be directly tied to politicians' campaigns.)
Because it was written by Retrumpians.
Wrong, Carter Page was subject of a previous investigation of Russian spies, years before.
What? I thought this was a Slashdot post involving Trump.
I'm pretty sure Trump would like to blame a McConnell-Obama conspiracy, and hope no-one notices that he was the one to promote Pai to chairman.

The father of modern rocketry, Goddard, did his work in the USA, well before WWII.
You hung on to your AutoCAD 13? The worst AutoCAD version ever?
Voters can't guarantee that their votes are good for democracy, either.
And they're getting ready to add another east-west runway between 9L/27R and 9R/27L.
At least you used the term "price", and not "value".

Try looking at those government revenue and spending charts in percent of GDP rather than dollars per capita. They've been relatively flat since WW2.
