Any ship using US deckhands will need US command crew (Jones Act). Immigration might open up deckhand positions, but not master positions until they naturalize.

Someone has given you a bill of goods. Any US MD/DO graduate will get a residency position, but there are a few every year that only apply for Orthopedics or Ophthalmology and don't select a backup IM/FM program and thus win

It should not be "burned" as in a bonfire (like is done in many places). It needs to be burned in an electric arc furnace or mixed with coke for steel at temperatures in excess of 1000k.

I think Houston requires some hurricane mitigations, but most of TX doesn't, especially not up to Miami / Dade standards which is required in this county.

They can do that, and it is how this specific case was handled eventually.

See Taco Bell suing for defamation about the makeup of their taco meat. You might get away with a claim about McDonald's burgers that is wrong, it would only be because you were to small to notice.

If they stop providing a signed binary outside the Mac Store (IDK if they did), then this is the only safe way to get it other than a self compile. Add in auto updates and supporting the foundation and it seems reasonable.

In most states it is a free for all, especially in non-medical stores. A few of the medical only states require them to be dispensed by a pharmacist, but that is the exception.

Yes but if you're at Kaiser in San Francisco and have a zebra there may only be one doc (or a small group) at UCSF that can treat your zebra, and they are not in the Kaiser network, so you go to Los Angles where Kaiser's specialis

Currently government funded research is either open access (and pays the fee) or is closed access for 1 year then becomes open (and is not subject to fees). Now all government research will have to pay open access fees, and the new guidanc

I'm concerned that this will do nothing but result in fewer government awards and make non-governmental research more difficult to access. This directive still allows journals to charge open access publishing fees, which often exceed

Maybe CA is different, but in most states small claims can't order equitable remedies (reinstating his account) and can only award money damages.

A commodity doesn't promise a return for holding it, a security does. If I buy a gold bar, in a year I have a gold bar, same with a bushel of wheat, or 1million yen. Securities use resources to try and generate a return -- companies t

What percent was spent on capital budgets in 2001 vs 2021? The navy is currently undergoing building 4 or 5 major ship replacement cycles, replacing all of its aircraft (Top 10 airforce in the world), etc. My guess is that most of that bu

I doubt RR would ever have gotten this response -- he's never been consistent. John Grisham, Stephen King or the late Tom Clancy may have. They are/were consistent over decades. That said, Grisham's last book deal was huge

My ISP is dual stack (cox), as is AT&T fiber -- but that is only for residential. Almost all consumer gear is IPv6 compatible, much of Cisco Meraki's still isn't or is limited. It is not all consumer.
