Powerful people in the US have a vested interest in a big government. It's the never ending circle of government cooperation with the rich. The government protects the rich in exchange for lavish "contributions" that bring the politicians into the elite class.

I'm envisioning this going the way of NASCAR and there end up being massive horse pileups to keep the crowd entertained...

Admittedly though, the limits on depth of boreholes on Earth have been due to excessive heat at depth. That wouldn't be an issue drilling through ice.

Yes and when they originally ran the Uverse, it was awesomely fast and awesomely cheap. A year later it was the same speeds and the same crappy prices as TWC was offering...

Is this one of those things that both is and is not a tax depending on what you need for it to be Constitutional?

It would be a working transmission for a radio controlled car maybe... But aside from using the 3d prints to make molds for castings, I don't see what good this does anyone.

What about those with a last name and no first? Teller? First president who won't utter a lie?

It's obviously man made climate change that is the problem with growing grapes and rice in the desert!

But can they be mounted on sharks? That is the real question...

Most states are still "employment at will" which means they either party can terminate the employment at any time for any non-protected reason. Yeah it sucks when you get fired, but you still want to be able to quit for any reason don't you? This is being said by someone who was fired for a bullshit trumped up "safety violation" to avoid getting severance pay.

Why is it that everyone claims Somalia is even remotely Libertarian? Anarchist Paradise would even be a stretch. The closest thing to Libertarianism in the world is Hong Kong if anything. Especially pre-China return to ownership. I'm not claiming Hong Kong is Libertarian, but in the current world, it's the closest thing. A small government that allows a maximum of economic and personal freedom. Singapore would probably be close behind, but they are not so hot on the personal freedom side of things.

Somalia being Libertarian is a bullshit strawman by people who think Libertarians want no government and no laws. That is simply incorrect.

If you need an estimate real bad, you'll get a real bad estimate.

The real problem with "time writing" is that people end up lying on the reports to meet goals or metrics and then the estimates created from that data are useless. Managers want both though. They want accurate estimates AND time tracking that meets productivity goals. Sadly their productivity goals would require robots to meet...

I would be ok with dropping the quarter too. What do I buy that's less than a buck? Nothing... That's what.

Umm they can and certainly DO shut it off. Automatic leak detection shuts off the pumps and block valves close to isolate sections of the pipeline. Even then, the entire pipe doesn't drain out in a leak because 1) the hole is unlikely to be at the bottom of the pipe, 2) the pipe isn't level and 3) there is nowhere for air to get in the system. Sure if you have a leak at the bottom of the pipe at a low spot and another leak at the high spot where all the dirt was missing you might get an entire section to spill out, but even then it would probably still be less than the volume of rail cars.

You sir have no idea how hydraulic systems work and should stop commenting on this thread.

Apparently the first time they didn't do a very good job of replacing the teachers...
