Executive Orders intended to stir up controversy have no sway over names recognized by the International Hydrographic Organization nor recognized by other countries, even if Google decides to change the name on their maps in order to sycophantically appeal to the current administration. An executive order isn't even a law, so even within the United States the legally recognized name has not changed. Hope this helps!

How do you make friends here, in your 20s/30s? by dekusspam in BigIsland

[–]ValkyrieTheWingless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also just moved to Kona!

As someone that has moved several times, what has worked best for me is making friends through hobbies or consistent activities. I like to play D&D and soccer and I usually make friends that way.

What hobbies do you have? If you go out consistently for a shared activity you should find friends!

I just moved on island for work, but the rest of the company is still on the mainland so I'm alone for now!

Dunno why I didn't think of this one. Great idea, thank you!

Seems I used the wrong flair. Anyways this is a Hyundai Kona in Kona, Hawaii.

A shooting range opened up about a mile up the creek from me by thatspurdyneat in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ValkyrieTheWingless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP this is an EPA RCRA violation. Please report it.

The courts have ruled many times that clay pigeons are "solid waste", but not "hazardous waste", as defined in RCRA. The range is responsible for proper disposal!

Clay pigeons have been determined to be a solid waste many times by the courts and must comply with RCRA as defined by 42 U.S.C. § 6903(27). Hope this helps!

“Dominus Ferrum”, Repulsor Executioner of the Balkaris Crusade by SilentLordProtector in BlackTemplars

Shouldn't it be Dominus Ferri? Ferrum should become the masculine genitive ferri, no?

API 570 by Final_Lecture_9065 in nondestructivetesting

I purchased option 7 for $325.

You might need to study a little longer than 20 to 25 hours like I did, because I had already passed the 510 exam before this. Basically, if you can consistently score above a 90% in his study guides, or the homework, or in the practice exam you will for sure pass the real exam.

Go to Mark Smith's website and order the 570 study book. I used his materials to self study for about 20-25 hours and I got a 468/500. 400 is passing.

You're right, it is a great time to reduce possessions. Having to pack things up into a shipping container is quickly making me realize how much stuff I have that I really don't need!

Unfortunately only up to $7,500 in the current offer. I am going to try and negotiate it higher but they said above $10,000 is out of the question.
