A niche opened up, buy ebusses, lock school boards into 10-20 year contracts to save 10-20% on fuels costs and have zero capital/maintenance costs. The bus company lives on the ~~60-70% fuels cost saving and finances the bus fleet. Ty

Eleanor Roosevelt was instrumental in blocking the forced repatriation of large numbers of displaced persons to their various home countries that were in the USSR after WW2. A large number of these displaced persons were from the Ukraine(d

I hope an optics person can weigh in here for a detailed tech response. In essence if the laser was perfectly parallel it could then be focussed down to a point image as small as the source. How to get a true point - the fiber gradient is a

This happened to me, I went through the google account recovery process and it was recovered. I was a victim of an on the air SIM jacking of my phone - which suddenly went dead. I had 2 factor enabled, but once the SIM was jacked they reset

If this was a level or neutral field, where the costs of 'food-bunny' delivery was the same or less than(faint hope) the Restaurants own delivery service then this is OK, but from what I see these cash-dash services charge a lot m

Nope. That allows a lot of bright kids with little study discipline to leave it all to the last week and then have a marathon cram session - which often fails them. With a monthly exam they would be forced to do a 1 month cram, then a 2 mon

This is commonly used in fibers, a gradual gradient in the refractive index from the center to the edge automatically steers the beam to the core path. Focus has limits, you can focus the sun to an image but not to a zero dimension point, a

That is partly true, there is no way a chip based laser can achieve the divergence even for a 1,860 million mile path. Chip geometry is intrinsically too divergent. A pumped self collimating fiber 1/1000 light second long = 186 miles,

These goofs have zero comprehension of beam divergence at anything near that distance. Anything but a perfectly parallel beam can propagate to anything near that distance. The optical cavity is a box with reflective ends, one 100% and the o

Total BS, NATO was a totally defensive alliance against the well known expansionary aims of the USSR - who fostered conquest and dictatorial regimes that gave zero power to the people. How many communist regimes have democratically elected

What it has done is create a country full of people who hate Russia, who will escape, sabotage, destroy every aspect of Russia. It has also shown it's own Russian population that another Stalin/Hitler walks in the halls of power(h

Clean coal? Isn't that like picking up a turd by the clean end? The costs associated with this process are very large and can eat up 35-45% of the output - and the thermal heat endures...

Stalin did have many nascent rebellions, but I think a sadist called Beria had a network of 'ears' looking for any suspicious types - some say he over suspected = many were killed who were innocent - the overkill justified as extr

Now Russia is a little wary of the NATO buildup on the western borders - it might make him want to ramp down, with all the other problems, he may be looking for scapegoats, as Stalin used to do.

Looks like he is preparing to shed some blame, or eliminate some people who advised compromise?

Not so easy. Poland's Mig29's have been integrated into NATO standards, electronic plugs, hardpoints, control etc. They will have tp be rolled back to Russian missiles and hardpoints with electronics. Then do they have enough Russ

Nukes are well within the Ukraine's capability, as they probably built many of the Nukes the USSR has. That said, $$ spent on Nukes is a diversion and a waste. Part of the cause of the downfall of the USSR was all that money simply was

Ah, this has the risk of the rise of a race of 'Pigeons' - we have seen how cities have 'do not feed...' signs. This is usually the end case of people taking pity on the hard life they have = free food = pigeon numbers t

Yes, webmaven is correct. Since DNA is made of triads of DNA letters in sequences that often occur in patterns, the odds of sequences being repeated is a lot lower. Since the created protein is the result of thousands of these triads, that

They used to call this the 'Salami Game', we are fighting over a slice of Salami - why fight, I just want one and a single slice of Salami is not worth fighting over ... after a while, there is just the string the Salami hung by -

Seems risky to me unless they install failsafe drainage - which can be more costly than the racks/trackers they eliminate. A 2 foot high racked area with drop in placement of panels would work. Snow load?

Hard to assess. If the charger uses a high frequency switching power supply = you may be strangely sensitive? One easy solution is to place the charging battery in a metal box = a Faraday Shield or cage. This block radiated energy. The powe

Chemist here. The use of propylene glycol in the clean/sterilize cycle is OK, it is related to 3 carbon glycerol and is not toxic and any breakdown product(glycerol) is safe and edible. Ethylene glycol, a 2 carbon polyol, is metabolize

Easy to defeat, ask one of the para companies to pirate them to justice. They are probably ready to repel boarders, so go in strong.
