Yeah, here too.
But it is a CIVIL charge, not a criminal one. And while you might lose your license for around the same time as a first-time DUI, you WON"T have a criminal conviction on your record.

The designated scapegoat now is immigrants. Or flavored vapes. Or something...
Strictly in terms of long term radioactive contamination, Fukushima was far worse than the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
. The bombs were airbursts, so fallout was minimal, and blew out mostly over the ocean. Hiroshima and Nagasaki today are back to normal background radiation levels, and have been for decades.
There were a whole lot more material released (and still being released) by the Fukushima meltdowns.

I can't see them shutting down WWVB. That would have a negative financial impact on companies that sell those clocks, and making money selling crappy imported consumer goods is a vital part of our economy.
WWV/WWVH, on the other hand, are only used by radio geeks and scientists, and who gives a damn about them?
That would be a megawatt ERP, no? Actual RF power likely a lot less, but still not cheap to run.
on 60 kHz. The WWV/WWVH services being cut are on HF (2.5-25 MHz).
The loss of those frequencies will obsolete the older HF clocks, like the Heathkit GC-1000 "Most Accurate Clock" I have in my ham shack. As well as removing the other functions they provided besides time, such as precision frequency reference (zero beat a signal generator or receiver VFO against WWV's carrier, and you know it is exactly on frequency), and the various frequencies throughout the HF band provide useful propagation checks, as well.
Oh well, the $6M they save can pay off a lot of porn stars, or cover the security detail for a couple rounds of golf in Bedminster...

Have just the location for you:
Marinol is "dronabinol", a name apparently invented for synthetic THC, which as you noted, is Schedule III, simply because it came from a lab, not a plant.
THC (or any other compound) extracted from an actual cannabis plant is a naughty Schedule I drug.
The active ingredient in this drug (cannabidiol, CBD) is still listed as a Schedule 1 controlled substance (Cannabis Extracts), and rescheduling it would be a public admission that the plant it is derived from also has medical applications, and itself would then be disqualified for Schedule 1 status.
Will be really interesting how the inter-agency pissing contest over this plays out, now that Big Pharma has some skin in the game...
He was married in the original novel, not in the TV series loosely based on it.
, and holds onto it despite continuing and expanding many of Bush's policies and wars while in office..
where you find non-commercial and educational stations (below 92 MHz).
There are 2 nice college stations (WFMU and WFUV) that come in fairly well near me.
For lefty talk, there was always Pacifica/WBAI, but they ran off the rails with an internal coup almost 20 years ago. Now they air all kinds of magic cancer cure scams and some fairly regressive Mugabe-worshipping talk show hosts.
770 WABC in NYC.
Any circuit design must contain at least one part which is obsolete, two parts which are unobtainable, and three parts which are still under development.
