Ha!

Most likely not.

And very nice roads to run your Mustang on. Watch out for cows though!

I did say "small". :-)

Well, $80k will get you a pretty decent small RV, which I could drive to work!

For $80k, I'll just get that...or a small house.

No mention of Penny's Tits.

Useless.

Yep.

The last thing you need is all this shit hooked up to some site on the internet. If they were smart, they would deliberately design it so it can't get to the internet. Because you know some dickhead will break in and wreak havoc and then claim they were just trying to expose weak security or some other bullshit like that.

So, in other words, a professional work environment where you work on something that is essential to the economy.

Making web pages, cool widgets, etc may be fun, but there is and always will be a need for people to maintain the systems essential to running the economy.

If you think that working on "systems which have undergone years of maintenance by probably dozens of different developers", try doing that on something written in C or and of the other Alphabet languages.

I thought the Dragon vessel was well on its way to being man-rated, or, certified. I haven't heard/seen anything from Boeing at all.

Perhaps Politics plays a bigger role than innovation and even costs?

I get better gas mileage when I'm driving South because it's downhill.

I think one thing is clear. All these studies are way to focused and fine grained. They look at micro aspects of the climate and then try to apply the observations to a system that is many orders or magnitudes larger.

It's like examining 1" square sections of the Sistine Chapel paintings and then trying to predict the color in the next 1" square based on the color in the current square. Hit and miss, misleading successes and baffling failures because you don't understand the totality of the entire painting.

So the view of the other single wide mobile homes and the washer dryer sets in the front "yard" will be obscured?

  Nevada, for the most part, is dirt and weeds.

As an American, I find the multitudes of taxes, fees, charges, and other blood sucking extortion schemes run by Government to be bizarre.

Being in the midst of trying to control mine, here is a basic explanation provided by my Endocrinologists with some help from Wikipedia.

It all comes down to the Renin–angiotensin system.

When the Kidneys think they don't have enough fluid volume to do their job, they send out signals that ultimately come back to themselves, causing them to retain salt and ditch potassium. Water, naturally, follows the salt and results in increased blood volume and subsequently, pressure. That's why many BP meds contains diuretics.

Too much salts mucks up all the complex feedback mechanisms.

Something that is apparently under diagnosed is a condition called Aldosteronism, where the adrenal glands make too much of a hormone called aldosterone, a primary messenger in this cycle. Aldosterone levels are not part of the standard blood workup done by your average family physician and diagnosing the condition requires a special, hours long process. It's is kind of a Zebra in diagnostic terms but is looking more and more like a horse.

So if you are afflicted with High BP and you're not having much luck controlling it, ask your doctor about aldosterone levels. High BP that is a result of this condition is more dangerous in the long term, but possibly curable by suppressing the aldosterone or removing one of the adrenal glands.

The phrase "...places new limits on..." suggests that they have found that Life is even less likely. But the phrase, "...favorable to life are unlikely to be unusual...", however awkwardly, suggests that Life is more likely.
