if you are taking out 150k in loans you are doing it wrong. Plain and simple. Most folks, while not capable of paying for all of college, can take care of a large portion of the cost. And if you live reasonably close to a college (this is a lot of folks) stay local and it gets even cheaper. At least in florida, it is still doable for undergrad at 80k on the top end and as little as 40k if you are careful.

I'm very saddened to hear that
... why throw away your vote? Vote for an independent, instead.
I've got to agree. A lot of people think that not voting for the Democrat or Republican is "throwing your vote away" because that third party candidate has a zero chance of winning. I do agree with the latter portion of the statement: Third party candidates, for the most part, don't have much chance of winning. However, this is *because* people vote for D or R (or don't vote at all) instead of voting for a third party candidate. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem. People won't vote for a non-major party candidate unless they have a realistic shot at winning, but they won't have a realistic shot at winning unless people vote for them.
Why vote third party then? To send a message. If a third party candidate gets a large enough portion of the votes, the major parties will take notice and will rush to coopt the issue as their own. They aren't stupid. If there's a groundswell of support for an issue, they'll tumble over themselves embracing it. In essence, voting third party can change the two major parties.
Why not simply withhold your vote? Because not voting sends no message at all. You might think it's a grand gesture at the politicians but it's a gesture the politicians can't see. How do you tell the difference between "I'm protesting the two major parties" and "I just don't care enough about any issue to go out and vote"?

Those boosters were hollow steel tubes, open at the back. Seawater partially flooded them, that's why they popped up. The Falcon 9 first stage is mostly empty tanks that aren't going to flood (barring severe damage from the waves). If held vertical, the weight of the entire stage wouldn't push it down even two meters into the water...its diameter is greater than that. The engines aren't that heavy, half the mass of the vehicle is in those very long tanks...it's going to float very high in the water, on its side.

Frankly, getting a PE license is not difficult, provided you are not a totally shitty engineer.
Cut the bullshit. The Texas Software PE license required among other things "At least 16 years of creditable experience performing engineering work" and "References from at least nine people, five of whom must be licensed engineers." Note that "creditable" means "experience working under a professional engineer".
Fortunately, despite the IEEEs push, very few states require licensing of any sort to write or sell software. If they do, I suppose I'll be forced out of my career, which has included working on medical devices. Fuck them and I hope they all die; they're certainly trying to kill me. Also note that the ACM split with the IEEE over this very issue.

My understanding is that modern or more modern versions of nuclear weapons are hundreds of times more efficient then the ones dropped in WWII. This is due primarily to a change in the ignition design from one that used explosives to ram fissionable material into another fissionable material called a gun type to one that used heat and X-rays from a more easily created fission reaction to ignite a second fission reaction in an enormously more efficient and reactive way. I think this second type is called a boosted fission reaction.
The same amount of total weight involved in little boy can be the total of 6 or 7 warheads from the 60s and 70s with 100 times as much explosive power or more. In the 80s and later, we see some more advancements that make some insane improvements. But the two types of ignition might make it impossible for a direct comparison of the weapons or number of weapons based on the amounts of HEU.

When I lived in France, I would get in my car for two reasons: go to the Cora (big supermarket) once a week, and go on weekend trips around Alsace. During the week, it was public transportation all the way. I didn't know many people who commuted in their cars... the two that did commute did it on gas-sipping motorcycles.
Today I live in California, and drive 34 miles per day to get to work, my wife drives a bit less, in a different direction. Our commutes are shorter than most of the people we know. Comparing California to Alsace, the driving cultures are completely different. My daily commuter is a 24 year old 270hp Toyota Supra, the car I take to see customers a 460hp Volvo (I'm in IT, but I work for an aftermarket auto-manufacturer)
With cars like this, I would be regarded like a wasteful pig by most people I knew in Europe. Amongst the people I know in the US, my cars get good MPG.

In long term, massively. South Korea will get much cheaper gas, and it might have a stabilizing effect and North Korea will likely be even more closely tied to South through the financial benefits of the functioning pipeline, such as transit fees.
The main problem is that North Korea may start behaving like Ukraine with the gas, stealing it from the pipeline and even using it as a weapon against South Korea. But potential of getting gas pipeline in South Korea will likely far outweigh the cons.
Two questions:
- 1. Will North Korea agree to let gas pass through its territory to South Korea?
- 2. More importantly, is South Korea so stupid as to sign on such a deal that could leave them vulnerable to the Pyongyang regime?
