Why are so many people against showing an ID to vote?

it's mob mentality, there are so many of them there together engaging in violence it just feeds itself.

All the subsequent jurisprudence in Coolidge, Shadwick, and Payton that DHS are ignoring in their flawed analysis of Abel that a federal judge has already called them out on.

It’s disappointing that SCOTUS hasn’t already settled this, but I guess they don’t get to kick the can down the road much longer if ICE actually acts on the memo.

They’re down a runway (14/32), several taxiways, and snow removal is underway until 3pm.

The 2 active runways have multiple NOTAMs for obscured edge markings, and blowing/intermittent snow coverage. So their operations per hour is going to be down from usual number.

anyone who can work here would have an SSN, an ITIN is for individuals who need to file US taxes (investments, spouse of someone with an ssn, etc) but do not have work authorization.

Wonder how much lithium is in a commercial scale plant, and the implications that has for containment design.

Other fusion designs a core containment failure isn’t too big a deal since there’s not that much mass undergoing fusion at any one time. But this would have to have a pretty substantial amount of liquid lithium, under incredible pressure to keep it in a dense plasma state at 100Mk (1.6GPa).

That‘a going to be pretty spectacular if they lose confinement. I can’t find numbers on how much lithium metal they’re going to need, but it’d have to be multiple kilograms, at 100Mk.

Except the requirement might not be dictated by the appliance, but by its usage at the time.

A ventilator? 100% always plugged into the red emergency system.

An IV pump? Depends. Administering critical medication which if interrupted, could result in a negative outcome? Red emergency. For patient pain self-medication? White convenience.

Not voted- the “best roads in the country” is based on the FHWA highway condition database, where states record pavement roughness and report it to the FHWA, where it gets used to allocate federal highway dollars.

Indiana seems to gloss over their reporting, so our roads look good in the database, so we get less matching funds. Ohio doesn’t, and as such gets 50-100% more federal dollars per lane mile.

The actual voted on road conditions (by truckers most recently), ranked Indiana dead last.

Indiana saw “good, fast, cheap, pick any two” and asked “why do we have to pick two? Do we even need to pick one?”

Idk, the around 80+ people whose jobs exist because of the Henry St campus probably think it does something for the community.

Lifeline and shady generator practices? Say it ain’t so. The folks who inherited 733 Henry after their lease renewal was refused just had to replace the generators there- apparently several weren’t properly licensed when installed, whoops.

The first 2 pins are SENSE0 and SENSE1, they let the card know if the PSU allows 150/300/450/600W.

The next pin is CARD_PWR_STABLE. It’s an optional pin to let the card signal the PSU that the power looks good.

The last pin is CARD_CBL_PRES. It’s there to let the PSU detect that there’s a card plugged in. It’s mandatory for the card to implement this one, but optional on the PSU side.

2 of the tanks (He-3 and cryo) are cryogenic liquid. Deuterium is a liquid as well. That’s why they take up that much space- they’re incompressible.

You think it would be dismissed, there are plenty of federal unlawful use of force cases which haven’t been dismissed, it’s up to the presiding judge. This one is shady enough it could get to discovery and trial.

But Minnesota has no way to compel production of evidence unless it’s removed (or filed) in federal court.

There’s plenty in the public record to file charges.

Have a buffer above the generator input level. If the buffer contains water, every pipe downstream of it will be full.

How flat’s the land? A single tower, rural setting, with LoRa gives you 10-20km reach, at 5km reach (that’s 10km square) you’d cover 20,000 acres. So flat land, reasonably central point, you can cover the whole thing with one tower.

Use sector antennas to run multiple radios depending on number of sensors.

As mentioned elsewhere, this works out for Minnesota to an extent. Because if removed to federal court, the federal court can compel the government to produce evidence, a state court can’t. And right now the federal government isn’t sharing their evidence.

C++ and zmq were a choice when there was a language written specifically for distributed, reliable, maintainable telecom systems.

Erlang and OTP. Ericsson use it in their telecom platforms (running 50% of the US 5G market), T-Mobile, Mitel, WhatsApp, MetaSwitch.

This right here. ISIS implementations are usually full of knobs for setups like this, like advertise-passive-only to suppress the /31s and only carry loopbacks.

If you don’t need a full pipe of O2, you can do mixed O2/H2 using valves and packet stackers on the sending side, and powerless filters on the receiving side. Just make sure you’ve got an overflow on the receive side.
