As the poster below implies, there's a lot more to it than reducing the number of flights. more to it than reducing the number of flights. There's a lot of infrastructure that may or may not be able to handle the large plane. They may be restricted to certain runways & taxiways, and would definitely be restricted to only a few gates. The airlines would have to pick up the tab, one way or another, for reworking jet bridges & gates so that four exits can be used, including the unusually high ones for the second deck. They would need to have a councourse that can handle the exceptionaly large influx of deplaning passengers at once, including mundane things that might not work such as a large-enough waiting space, enough toilets, wide enough aisles. The list goes on.
It also depends on the definition used for the purpose. Simple assembly of a kit is not sufficient, but "Substantial Transformation" may be, even if all the parts & materials comes from outside America (at least for the American Reinvestment & Recovery Act definition) And because of NAFTA, Canada and Mexico could count as America as far as 'Made In America' goes.
The part that was probably made outside of the America would be the compressor, which is the heart of an A/C system.
And if you buy a window A/C unit or a thru-the-wall PTAC (like they have in many motels & hotels) you can bet it's not Made In America. I know, because of a project funded by the American Reinvenstment and Recovery Act, where we had to specify Made In America wherever possible, and it wasn't possible.
I also found out on that one that ARRA had a different definition of Made In America than the regular Made In America definition, and that both of those definitions included Made In Canada and Made In Mexico as Made In America.
followed by well-established periods of pole-to-pole tropics.
False. We are in an ice age, you know, and have been for millions of years. There has been permanent ice at the north pole for the last ±2.5 million years and longer than that at the south pole.
Of course it varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but in general tips ARE on top of a minimum wage, even if that minimum wage for tipped workers is less than the general minimum wage.
How strange to see USPS be more competent than UPS...
Not in my experience. I've had crushed rolls of drawings with tire prints delivered to my office by UPS, nothing ever that bad from USPS. (That was pre-internet, pre-CAD days, when we needed to draw on actual tracing paper or mylar backgrounds provided by the architect.)
SEC. 1. [47 U.S.C. 151] PURPOSES OF ACT, CREATION OF FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION.
For the purpose of regulating interstate and foreign commerce in Communication by wire and radio [emphasis added] so as to make available, so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, a rapid, efficient, Nationwide, and world-wide wire and radio communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges, for the purpose of the national defense, for the purpose of promoting safety of life and property through the use of wire and radio communication, and for the purpose of securing a more effective execution of this policy by centralizing authority heretofore granted by law to several agencies and by granting additional authority with respect to interstate and foreign commerce in wire and radio communication, there is hereby created a commission to be known as the ''Federal Communications Commission,'' which shall be constituted as hereinafter provided, and which shall execute and enforce the provisions of this Act.
Cement is already made from limestone, shells, chalk and/or marl mixed with shale, clay, slate, blast furnace slag, silica sand, and iron ore. The big problem here is the energy to heat the ingredients.
No, the chemical process of turning limestone, etc. into portland cement is creates more CO2 than burning fossil fuels for the heating. Although I don't know how the old-type Roman cement compares to that.
In the US, mineral wool is typically used where you need acoustical insulation, since it is more dense than fiberglass. Otherwise, you will typically get fiberglass or plastic foam..
Significant parts of the border did have walls, fences, etc. erected / fortified during the Bush and Obama years. There was a study on it what would do the most good where for what costs, and a lot of the recommendations were followed thru on.
Trump started the shutdown, by backing down on the continuing resolution bill he previously supported, which passed the Senate by a huge majority, but then wasn't brought up for another vote in the house until the Democrats took over, and now Mitch McConnell won't even allow it to be brought to a vote in the Senate. (They have to reconcile the original bills, which is why the Democrats tried to pass a version identical to the Senate bill.)
The fact that this above comment got voted up to +4 shows you how completely stupid the left is. ...
To get a vote on a bill in the Senate requires 60 votes, which the GOP never had. To override a veto takes 67 votes in the Senate, something different.
It takes 50 votes to pass a bill in the Senate.
It takes 60 votes to prevent a filibuster in the Senate, but a budget bill cannot be filibustered.
It does take 67 Senate votes (and 2/3 of the House) to override a presidential veto, but the continuing resolution bill passed the Senate with something like 98 yes votes before Trump changed his mind.
Basically, scientists who know VERY WELL that they only UNDERSTAND PART OF FUNCTIONING THE UNIVERSE and HAVE NO IDEA WHATSOEVER WHERE OUR UNIVERSE CAME FROM are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that there can be no such thing as God.
That's statement's not only full of unnecessary shouting, it's ignorant.
Anti-icing (Type 4) fluids that can help keep ice under control for longer aren't simply Type 1 glycol de-icing fluids with a thickener. They have to be shear-thinning fluids, with a high viscosity at rest, so they stay on the wing while waiting, but a low viscosity when the air rushes past, so the fluid slides off the wings on takeoff. This can be done with glycol-based polymer chains that tangle at rest, but straighten and align under shear forces, or side chains that break off easily under shear, or a number of other ways that the chemists have come up with.
If the subject "breakthough" ice repelling material proves to be practical, I imagine it will reduce the need for the de-icing / anti-icing fluids.
Automatically move emails to the appropriate inbox from the main inbox.
Actually, that works terribly.
Mark which ones need follow-up, mark them completed when done, and move them all into job folders for records in case a problem comes up. (Frankly, I need to be a little more timely about moving them into job folders) "AI" is not good at knowing where to put them.
Did you know that if you feed a pigeon in a box at random times it starts to associate feeding time with whatever it happened to be doing, and so repeat that? Whether that's bobbing its head, pecking at the floor, or looking a certain direction.
Well, it works a lot better if you don't randomize the times, but rather feed them at certain regular intervals - not so short that they don't reproduce the behavior, and not so long that they never get rewarded when they do reproduce the behavior.

At current over-supply prices, a lot of fracking wells just might be operating at a loss.

You mean Thanks Reagan, because that's when the regulations about supplements were loosened.
that discounts the probability that the costs have gone down because we started spending money on them.
True.
False. We are in an ice age, you know, and have been for millions of years. There has been permanent ice at the north pole for the last ±2.5 million years and longer than that at the south pole.

This.
On the contrary, the Communications Act of 1934 did regulate telegraphs, as well as radios and telephones.
Really? Neither the dictionary nor the Telecommunications Act have such a narrow defintion:
No, the chemical process of turning limestone, etc. into portland cement is creates more CO2 than burning fossil fuels for the heating. Although I don't know how the old-type Roman cement compares to that.

No. It only takes 60 votes to pass a cloture motion, and you don't usually need to invoke cloture unless someone is trying to filibuster the bill.
