I went from ~500 ft above sea level (Palm Springs) up to 8,500 feet above sea level (San Jacinto Peak) in less than an hour via the aeria tram a couple months ago and it was very noticeable, my walking speed fell by a third and I was breathing a lot harder than I usually do.
Trying to argue the 14th amendment doesn’t read as plainly as it does was a no-win situation. The government would have to argue it does not have jurisdiction (subject to the jurisdiction thereof) over illegal immigrants which would seemingly (IANAL) mean they’re immune to prosecution for any crime.
You could probably find a hair splitting argument that the child must be born in an actual ‘State’, but aside from that, jus soli citizenship is pretty clearly part of the constitution.
That being said, Pam Bondi was very bad at her job.
2. Prosecute his enemies, such as Comey, Bolton, and Perkins Coie
3. Reward his allies, such as Eric Adams, everyone who violates the Hatch Act in a way that pleases him, and the people he tells to sue the USG so he can direct the DoJ to settle
4. Put crazy stuff like birthright citizenship and IEEPA in front of the Supreme Court
5. Slow roll the Epstein files, don't prosecute anyone
> That being said, Pam Bondi was very bad at her job.
Perhaps so. (In fact, I suspect so.) But having a boss that keeps putting you in impossible situations is not conducive to good performance reviews. She got fired for failing to deliver on Trump's fantasies of how the legal system ought to treat him. A different AG isn't going to do too much better, because too many of Trump's positions are legally insane.
I was just thinking about the wild times during the 00s where you could easily order research chemicals online, wish I would’ve taken advantage of that to try some of the 2C- series :(
I looked it up. 4-HO-MET is what I was thinking of. One of those companies has ads on Facebook where they call it metocin. Only company I've seen actually say what RC they're selling in candy.
2C-E was pretty nuts. I tried it twice. Would have used it more if it didn't make me so nauseous. Those were the most intense open eye visuals I ever seen. Posters turned into cartoons. The bathroom tile turned to chocolate milk as I puked in the toilet. Tracers and breathing walls all around me. But mentally I felt nearly sober.
I took 4-aco-dmt a couple times. It was like mushrooms but way more intense. I think the intensity was just because I was using a cheap scale and probably dosed with 10mg more than I had intended.
The operators of the fund are allowed to do whatever they outlined in the prospectus to track the index, some funds allow futures, options, and swaps along with equity shares to maintain parity with the index.
There are ways to gain exposure to a single stock without directly purchasing shares, options and swaps being the most common. Owning the actual shares makes things easy for the fund operators, but there are other ways.
SpaceX will not be part of the S&P 500 when it lists, so you can avoid owning SpaceX for now by sticking with non-NASDAQ funds. IIRC it would take about a year for SpaceX to qualify for the S&P 500, four consecutive profitable quarters is needed I believe.
If you own a NASDAQ fund or total US stock market fund, you will have exposure to SpaceX.
Meta spends a ton of money on concrete, a 1M sqft data center with a 6” slab has one yard of concrete for every 54 sqft of floor, which is around 18,500 cubic yards of concrete.
Any improvements to concrete mixes will benefit them.
Oh cool, did he work for MNDOT? I sell and run a lot of work at their facilities, they have a materials lab over in Maplewood off Hwy 36 and English St, and also the weird test surface area on 94 west of St Cloud.
It’s kind of hard to hide electrical transmission line towers and HV->MV electrical substations, let alone power plants or solar fields. Virtually all HV transmission lines and most MV distribution lines are above-ground as they use air as an insulator for economic reasons, same with substations.
A higher amount of distribution lines and substations are underground in dense urban cores and some residential areas, but there’s plenty of above-ground electrical distribution as well.
It’s akin to trying to hide how many skyscrapers exist in the US, they’re highly visible anyways, might as well publish the info so people and companies that live and operate in the US can take advantage of it.
> Something that stuck with me was that dude had an uncle that worked at a bolt factory down the road, and now there is literally no way to source domestically made bolts.
US manufactured fasteners are available*, the Build America, Buy America Act created a market for them. You’re not going to find them at Home Depot or your local hardware store, professional supply houses will sell them to you.
Waivers are available if no US supplier is available, but there usually is a US supplier.
I assume bolt manufacturing is automated to the point where you load up a CNC machine with steel hex stock and get boxes of bolts on the other end, there’s not a ton of labor involved. The machine cuts the hex stock to length, then removes material to create a cylindrical shaft and then threads are cut.
* By US manufactured, I mean ‘compliant with BABAA requirements’, which is something like 55% of the materials and manufactured here.
> But since you can plug in to charge at many street lamp posts
Are these the standard UK 230V 13A fused single-phase receptacles? Those put out about twice as much power as a 120V 15A circuit protected by a breaker, 3kW vs 1.5kW
230 * 13 = 2990W
120 * 15 = 1800 * .8 = 1440W
Using those for L1 charging would be a lot better than US L1 charging.
No, they are 3.5kW - 5kW standard EV chargers. But it's probably easy to install them using the existing power run.
But you are right that standard wall charging is much more viable in a 230V system here than in the US. Some people just run a cable from inside to their car if they don't have a 'real' charger yet.
