I agree with this ratio. I generate a ton of ideas for projects or hobbies, but writing each one down and putting it away (in Trello, Joplin, GitLab issues, etc.) lets me move on with priorities rather than getting pulled into new things al

The context for this is also that although Democrats wanted Obama to use executive orders to advance their agenda, Obama understood that future presidents would use his use of executive orders as precedent for their own--regardless of to wh

In the spirit of good faith, I think the comment was explaining the (incorrect) tropes, not supporting these ideas as fact.

I found the stories in Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged to be compelling enough that I could both empathize with (some of) the characters while at the same time disagree wholeheartedly with their choices. They're good books for trying t

Posting public questions can be a very fast way to find the "someone else" to ask, in my experience.

We're actually building something fairly simple in Smartsheet, which has Gantt, table, and kanban views that can all be filtered. It's slightly more sophisticated than just tags, but our business model requires Gantt integration,

Not a court, but government agencies can and do issue "guidance" documents after receiving feedback. For example, the EPA guidance on Class VI (CO2) injection wells [1] and IRS guidance on 45Q CO2 capture and storage credits [2] [

Thanks for this reminder. I wish I could view things in Gantt (rather than just calendar) format.

Don't worry, we readers still exist. I avoid information presented in videos as much as I can in favor of written information.

It's fuzzier than that. For example, there is a lot of momentum behind carbon capture and storage research and implementation that was built up under previous presidents (yes, even pre-Obama), and it would take a great deal of work for

Perhaps the comment was lamenting the lack of bike lanes. As a person who rides a bike as much as I can, I'd be much happier sharing a bike lane with a bunch of scooters than a street with cars.

That monthly check might not even be very large. Unfortunately, in many places (like North Dakota), mineral rights are severed from surface rights. So as a surface owner you might get a pittance for allowing a pad on your property, all the

Would it be possible to hide an exploit or test in a Word doc or image? I suppose they could have planted the image there with some steganographic encryption, and if the author was clever enough to find another link and click it, he would a

Fracking causing leaks of contaminants into groundwater is hugely dependent on the local geology. In locations with lots of natural fractures and nearby sources of drinking water (e.g., Pennsylvania), there's a much higher risk of cont

Earthquakes related to oil and gas are almost entirely because of wastewater injection, not the fracking process itself. One could argue that the increased wastewater production from the development and production of fracked wells is theref
