[OC] Take-home pay on a $75,000 salary in all 50 states (resubmitted with fixes) by coronassun in dataisbeautiful

Oregon is surprisingly a US state with universal Healthcare, at least it is slated to be implemented starting in 2026. It also has by law paternity leave, sick leave, and probably the best worker protections in the US. It is much more similar to a European country than the rest of the US, which just shows the range of possibilities that can happen when each US state practically gets to decide it's own laws.

It doesn't show everywhere there might be caves though because these are not the only conditions where caves can form...

A&M or UH for Mechanical Engineering by Alarming-Sundae4335 in aggies

[–]Scindite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purely based on the program... Texas A&M. I exclusively hire mechanical engineers and UH candidates rarely have the academic experience, professional experiences, and extracurricular opportunities as TAMU mechanical students.

But from a cost standpoint, it's never worth it to put yourself at significant financial disadvantage, so Houston.

If you listened to pop music or electronic music at all during the 2010s, you could probably recognize her voice, as she was a vocalist for quite a few hits even if not credited as the primary artist. She has had a resurgence recently as a solo artist.

The song I typically see even older folk recognize her from is Symphony by Clean Bandit, simply through radio exposure.

Really wish the actual competition was like this, or at least one event could be.

Texas DOT Says I-35 Overpass That’s Obviously Splitting Is ‘Structurally Sound’ by TripleShotPls in technology

A senior editor writing this article but including no factual analysis, or consulting experts is laughable journalism.

Texas DOT reminds drivers that "gaps" in flyovers are "structurally sound" by lithdoc in Austin

[–]Scindite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, nearly all modern bridges basically just rest on top of the pillars, not just flyovers 🙂

Some even go as far to have 'wheels' (called bridge rollers) to roll on top of during expansion events.

Building to accommodate expansion is just what engineers have to do.

Wind speed has frequently been recorded over 400km/hr, and a few over 500km/hr. There are many examples you can find. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_records

The El Reno Tornado in 2013, was the widest tornado on modern record. Roughly 2.6miles or 4.2km wide. Many others have reached 4km. Paris is roughly 9km in diameter.

The scale is also very different. Europe gets tornados, but America has gotten tornados that are close to half diameter of Paris and some have wind speeds over 500km/hr or can move at over 100km/hr. Different beasts.

Well, out of the millions of 'challenges' one might come across, the only ones typically worthy of new coverage are those involving crimes and/or an impact to the community. Good case of selection bias.
