I was curious about how much that'd cost. At least for SC, it was estimated at ~4 billion [0] in early 2017. There's a proposal saying they could raise ~600 million of that per year by increasing the gas tax by 10 cents/gallo

I've begun to appreciate peer review as gatekeeper as well. Another common situation for me is more or less arguing over a certain method/experimental design. If a colleague thinks a method is garbage, all I have to say is "y

It appears to be a bit different now, but apparently you used to be able to send unsolicited stamp designs to USPS and they'd sometimes get selected. Now they want you to send a portfolio [1]. A family member had a Christmas-related st
