Even the next one isn't landing on the moon. It is still a test flight. Good that they are testing things obviously, but it is hard to get excited about testing...
Something that I noticed is that the terrain mode doesn't show the contour lines as you zoom in. They display when you are zoomed out to see a wide area, but as you zoom into a terrain feature the lines and the elevation text disappear.
I think that North Korea and South Korea are still at war. Did the US ever declare war against North Korea? I thought that the US was there due to the UN getting involved. Skipping the need for the US to declare war.
My experience is a bit old (2008 ish) so things might have changes.
I had the GI Bill. I submitted paper work each month that showed I was taking a certain number of credits towards my degree to the VA dept at the school. Money was deposited into my bank account a couple weeks later. I could use that money for anything I wanted. Sounds like this is what your friends had/have.
There are other programs such as paying off student loans when you join up, but I am not familiar with them.
I agree with you, this doesn't make much sense. The source quote is saying that someone saw a red cover in the water. How would the cover survive going through an engine? It should be shredded. Also, if the cover was left on it would have been sucked into the engine as soon as the pilot turned the engines on or when he when to full power before taking off. Makes more sense if a cover was left unsecured on the flight deck and was sucked in during take off. It still would be shredded though I would think.
According to wikipedia, 2010 American sales were 256k, 2019 sales were 363k. The high was in 2012 with 438k. There was a dip down to 322k in 2016 (for obvious reasons I would think) and has been going up since. This doesn't seem like game over.
I don't think that the work you do should be the only thing that defines what type of person you are. Someone could work at those types of companies and be a serial killer in their free time.
I am not sure I understand. If there were local time guns, wouldn't they just fire theirs when they heard the sound of the central gun to help sync time with those farther away? They couldn't fire their gun 10 seconds in the past when they heard the central gun's sound.
Looking at the census information, the first number is for establishments with employees. They apparently don't include single person businesses in that number. The census data also lists "total non-employer establishments" at 3.4 million.
>> The wildfires have also prompted mass evacuations in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon's largest city.
Does anyone know which suburb of Portland is being evacuated? It is mentioned in the article, but when I look at a state map of evacuations [1] it doesn't show any suburbs in the "go" section (ordered to evacuate). Oregon City is in the "be set" evacuation zone, so maybe they are considering that to be a suburb or Portland and are saying that it is evacuating when they aren't ordered to yet?
I don't currently live in the area, but most of my family and friends do (most live in the evacuated areas). It is hard to find clear information sometimes. The best resources I have found are the facebook or twitter feeds of the 911, sheriff, or county fire departments.
According to that paper, 700 miles of canals lose 9300 acre feet of water per day. They say the price per acre feet (in 2015) was $107. Almost a million dollars per day is lost according to that paper. And California hasn't been cooling down since 2015.
It looks like the paper looked at one section of the canal and extrapolated the evaporation loss to the rest of the canal system in California.
*this paper seems to be from a class at the university. Just using it as an example that it might be more evaporation than stated above
This is messing up charts so much that maybe in a couple years we will be removing 2020 from the data just to have a chart that doesn't have a crazy x-axis.
I think it just depends if you are okay with what the social security benefits pay out. Currently if you retire it is $2,687 a month. This is the max though. Most may get less.
This doesn't seem to be a real Q and A from the people in the article.
A comment from Victor Volkman (going by username at least) at the end of the article (one of the people "interviewed" in the article):
"Although I'm flattered to have my comments included in this article. I must point out it was mined from several different Quora articles about unrelated topics. At no point was I contacted as to whether I wanted to participate in this article. I would have appreciated the courtesy of a "heads up". I'm not hard to find as they posted at least three of my social media contact links."
