This is exactly the same 'cancel culture' behavior that many US Republicans like to decry. In the same way that, in many recent high profile cases, right-leaning knowledge workers like professors have been forced from positions fo

On the off chance that that is pointed at US Americans: assault rifles are pretty rare, and are strictly controlled and registered in the US. Depending how much of the group "machine gun" you also describe as "assault rifle&q

Where is the flooding in San Diego? Honestly wondering, because the only places I might expect are Mission Beach and maybe Imperial Beach.

Sorry, I was being a bit too sarcastic for plain text. All the exfiltrated IP went to Huawei, which rose to global preeminence 5 or so years later, while Nortel was imploding (mostly decay of a complacent giant, as others have pointed out.

This isn't that different from what probably happened an Nortel in the early 2000s. While their network was completely compromised by Chinese attackers, the C suite people downplayed the threat, and there are theories that this only ha

This is the way all my successful courses were in secondary and post secondary school years ago, except with textbooks rather than videos. The inverted classroom is just learning correctly for people who can't use textbooks (which can

I dont know how deeply sarcastic this is, but peacetime military does not function like in war, with the disparity being proportional to how far away a unit's peacetime routine diverges from war.

I'm sure it's just a reflection of my narrow experience, but the direct competitor of sound bars is not surround sound, but rather included TV speakers.

Let me offer an alternative version of why people take the presumably-government roles and do them as private contractors: avoidance of byzantine requirements and cynical implementations of laws aimed at preventing fraud, waste, and abuse (

Sounds like a good way to have every milk container say "rBST free, from cows raised without hormones!" Which could also be stated "farmed in accordance with California law."

Surely you recognize that you're being obtuse with this statement. Otherwise you're suggesting either a zero value for time, or that homeschooling students do their sleeping while at state schools (which is a good recommendation,

The specifics of transporting oil are foreign to me, and my guesses about differences and magnitudes of cost are sourced primarily from [0]. Having said that, it seems that the enormous savings to be had by using pipelines should be channel

It's more painful in the US because so much of our built environment is not at a human scale conducive to public transit. Transit uses an implied hub and spoke network system where the base level of spoke is walking, then some combinat

I am all in favor of the idea of pipelines, because they improve on rail/road transport from an efficiency perspective. Having said that, the US seems not to have the legal or ethical framework in place to make them work, because the l

Trucks have the ability to use fifth-wheel couplings. They also have higher ground clearance. I suspect the first is rarely used. The second is paraded as a feature, for reasons which escape me.

I agree that this is something that EVs and batteries could replace, but if your baseload is coming from oil, all you've done is transfer the combustion to a more efficient central site and then sent the power through the grid. Regar
