Serious question... The trees use that water, like you said, but then doesn't it pass into the atmosphere, so it is effectively 'lost' for 'local use' through evaporation? Where does it show up from there?
I have no idea, but it seems that the usable water passes through the almond / walnut orchard, then is blown somewhere, maybe the Rockies?
For that matter, imagine I built an industrial size evaporator in California, and the intake was fresh water, with the output equal to the intake. So I've 'used' the water -- and not consumed a single gallon... but 've made it unavailable to my community, I think.
Well I did Read The Fine Article... in what must be the worst ever case of Casting Physics Pearls Before Illiterate Swine.
But I did get this from the abstract, and it summarizes the point of their results:
"Our work highlights that, even in free space, the invariance of the speed of light only applies to plane waves."
I did Read The Fine Article, and it referenced my first thought, which was "don't the cheap terrorists' drones fly low and slow?". Sure enough, the average third world drone is most likely of the variety limited to 500 feet and maybe full bicycle groundspeed. The F-35 on the other hand...
So is this really a military need? Or just an excuse to spend cash on a new defense system? If ISIS or ISIL or OASIS (didn't they break up after that last album?) or whatever gets drones to fly up to serious altitudes, they're going to be larger Predator-sized clones (clones of drones, as it were) which can be shot down with bullet-sized bullets from the aforementioned F-35 or F-Anything for that matter.
(Sidenote, the 'F-Anything' would be an awesome combat fighter designation.)
Ok, I grabbed one source here: https://www.yahoo.com/movies/s...
And here's the money shot quote:
"Currently, approximately $1B in production spending can be expected to deliver $500M-$600M in profits,” the letter says. “Through his continued focus on financial discipline, Doug hopes to improve that ratio to a point where $800-$900M in production spending delivers $500-$600M in profits.”
Did anyone notice during the Sony Pictures mess a revealed a gross margin of around 50%? And it seems Amazon has a captivate market plus millions of eyeballs a day to freely impress marketing upon, whereas traditional studios have to pay-per-eyeball to get the word out.
A strategy of wide open free markets without barriers might give the people the power to effect change. Communism has, in the long run, a poor record of being favored by those with free market options.
Maybe we've been going about this backwards, 'punishing' the few Communists leaders has instead hurt the populace. Launching an unending barrage of free market options might have brought those 'leaders' down more quickly.
As a taxpayer-funded organization, they also must consider unique ways to gain publicity with the general public. If their PR folks are sharp, they'll use this to NASA's advantage and get a million dollars in both digital and liquid ink. The general public can relate to the emotionality of wanting your remains to reach out a bazillion miles.
Yes, in the current warfare environment, snipers are needed desperately. Many current snipers are worked to death in theater, and this system will make snipers out of every soldier so equipped.
The system is obviously not just a laser range finder; once a target is selected it does the calculations and makes the shot perfect. Soon up to a mile distant.
Isn't this a picture of the Muhammad that they 'avenged' the same guy who admitted to have 'married' a 9-year-old girl?
Doesn't that mean his picture would have to be published on the child sex offender website as a statutory rapist?
I also read that this is the same guy who admitted to being possessed by the spirit of Satan as a way of explaining his mistakes.
It's seems odd to 'avenge' him... After all, these admissions were specifically included in the book about him so that everyone would remember he wasn't an 'avenge me' worthy kind of guy.
Maybe someone will find a way to avenge that little girl. Perhaps the leaders could at least offer an apology to her descendants?

Since when is a statistical sample of 37% not adequate? Is there any other case where the entirety of a group is sampled at anywhere near that rate?
Mark One EyeBall ?
If you like the dark ages, move to Detroit. FTFY
They's is?
Reading the Fine Article shows the sample sizes were statistically above zero, by a little. Several pairs of subjects reported positive-ish results.

Taking Uber to gun show, check.
Since there's less canon to violate than Trek, and it's not a reboot... maybe?

"hypocrites, liars, and communists"? That Venn diagram's damn near a circle. :)

Great, and set up a webpage where you match middle eastern men in their 50's with the 9-year-old girl who makes the best couple.
The Prophet, ladies and gentlemen.
And related noises. Decades in use, almost extinct.

There is a US company with the physical presence, logistics experience, and deep pockets to fulfill your prediction.
WalMart.
That says Tommy Lee can do this in some sort of perpetual circle. Whatever that means.
No, you're so fat you're in two places at once.
