As someone who has studied post-Roman Britain as an amateur, I would guess they got on a boat and left Britain the same time the legions took off to play imperial whack-a-mole. That whole period of history is basically about migrations and

It's a Bloomberg article, not an intro to astrodynamics. If you know the orbit you can figure out when it will decay relatively accurately.

I certainly hope by 'one party' you don't mean the Democrat Party- they've promised nothing of the sort. If you mean a third party, well than that comes down to lack of trust in that party's ability to execute.

I'm pretty sure my daughter will not stop breathing if she eats a peanut. I'm also 100% certain her stomach will empty itself in a way that makes 'The Exorcist' look like a gross-out comedy in comparison. We've als

Most pizza delivery is done using an employee's car, so I imagine this is a well-trod path legally.

Actually not the worst per-capita, but I'm sure you have some way to explain Qatar, Australia, or any other country inconveniently higher on the list. And this is pollution: https://qz.com/794542/air-pollution-map-

Probably more like a statistically relevant sample, but I believe so.

The Paris Treaty is rearranging the deck chairs. The others were fixed by plugging the hole in the boat. Plenty of US companies and governmental agencies are working on plugging this hole, but the country as a whole is tired of being hit

Per capita and cumulated are BS measures to obfuscate that China is a bigger contributor, and likely to grow for a while. The first rule of getting out of a hole is to stop digging- the US has, China hasn't.

And this is why the US has so much trouble with climate change as an issue- first it was sulfur dioxide, then lead, then CFCs, now it's CO2. The US has been doing this since the 70's. Now Europe and China want to pretend they ca

The terrorists might be doing us a favor if we get a standard removable battery for all laptops out of this.

Why is everyone so dismissive of the bomb threat? I can guarantee everyone involved (airlines, TSA, etc) would just as soon you keep your laptop rather than having to deal with the hassle of scanning, wrapping, loading, and delivering them.

The orbit of the debris cloud is kind of nonsensical, since it is co-orbital to the station but somehow faster.

You need to reduce overall emissions to affect the climate, not per capita. Australia is worse per capita, but they could produce 0 CO2 and it wouldn't matter if your goal is to affect climate change.

The treaty provides a mechanism for taking money from the developed world and giving it to the undeveloped world, in exchange for basically not developing. So it is a direct monetary benefit vs a nebulously defined future one.

So China emits twice as much CO2 as the US, but because they have a bunch of subsistence farmers it's ok? Sounds like the US is on the right track by increasing income inequality...

Aren't developing countries the ones benefiting directly from the treaty?

Is China following the rules? Eastern Europe? Genuinely curious- here's your chance to convince a USian that this is more than trying to drag the US down to everyone else's level.

Property taxes pay for the schools that already exist. It's hard for a district to 'save up' because, well California, and 'surplus' money should be returned to the taxpayer. If developers don't cover the cost

I'd blame corporate purchasers who blindly enforce lowest price policies over the actual flyer. United has figured out how to save my employer money by sacrificing my comfort and convenience.

Agreed, this is the big publishers trying to maintain a monopoly.

It's mostly driven by publishers who want to sell books every year instead of every decade. Add some academics looking to justify their existence plus upper administrators who are given big salaries to 'do something' to &#x2

My experience is that this stuff is used piecemeal instead of as a main curriculum- maybe you need a differentiating activity for a few students, or something for a weird chunk of time caused by testing or something. You used to just grab t
