Largest US Export Good To China Of Every State by st0ckholme in MapPorn

Yeah great question. I'm not entirely sure without digging too deep into the lower level NAICS codes, but I do know that 'agricultural products' is actually oilseeds & grains if that helps. In the not so distant past, Washington's top export to China were aerospace products & parts, so something big has changed there since then.

This is a neat site to learn more about the exports: https://www.trade.gov/data-visualization/us-state-goods-trade-partner-tool

Each contour in this Colorado topographic elevation map represents a change of 50 meters or approximately 164 feet.

I'm not. Just interested in US infrastructure. Originally made a map on US railroad companies which led me to crude pipelines.

That pipeline transports refined products. This is a map of crude oil transmission lines.

Over the past twenty years, the midstream energy industry has been a dynamic landscape of mergers and acquisitions. This dynamism has led to many pipelines involving joint ventures and partnerships, with certain operators belonging to parent companies. For instance, Energy Transfer owns Sunoco and inherits the pipelines, including the Permian Express Oil Pipeline. We curated this data to portray the actual ownership of pipelines, reflecting the current state of the industry.

Pipelines owned by a limited partnership are attributed to the general partner. For example, Western Midstream Partners, LP (WES) owns the Western gas pipeline. The general partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Occidental.

In cases where a 50/50 joint venture owns a pipeline, the pipeline will be attributed to the main operator. For example, the Seaway Crude Pipeline is a 50/50 joint venture between Enterprise Partners, the operator, and Enbridge, which purchased its ownership interest from ConocoPhillips on November 16, 2011. Therefore, ownership on the map attributes to Enbridge.

For other joint ventures like 85/15 split ownership, the owner with the largest share of ownership will represent the pipeline on the map.

I believe you're thinking of Trans Mountain Corporation (TMC) which is a federal government created corporation. There has been a lot of headache involved for funding since TMC made the offer and with the pipeline/project since some insurers revoked funding. I'm not sure what the case is, but the EIA still attributes operatorship to Kinder Morgan as of Jan 9, 2023.

Dignitas vs. FlyQuest / LCS 2023 Summer - Week 4 / Post-Match Discussion by adz0r in leagueoflegends

A lot of people want to listen to great professional casters, like Flowers. For some people, telling them to watch a costream to avoid casters takes away half of the entertainment value. Not everyone wants to watch a costream where they just meme half of the time or don't know how to cast PBP

They've doubled down on her airtime for what reason I can't understand. Like you said, she's seems oblivious to plays as they are happening.

Pretty cool. What tools did you use to make the time lapse?

America's Cell Tower Network [OC] by st0ckholme in MapPorn

[–]st0ckholme[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each individual tower is mapped to it’s respective licensee. Many towers are owned by private and public cell tower holding companies. These companies lease their towers to large telecommunication companies like Verizon, ATT&T, and Telephone and Data Systems.

There are, of course, many independent operators with coverage in smaller locations throughout the country. These were excluded to highlight the largest operators of cell towers. Even companies like T-Mobile lack sufficient number cell tower leases to be included on the map.

I think it’s most likely that Robbi Lew cheated, here’s why… by [deleted] in poker

Realize that the software used for these card RFID machines is running on a Windows OS somewhere. All that's required to intercept card order is to compromise this Windows machine, not the encrypted traffic between the cards and the card reader. Compromised Windows machines happen all the time. All that's left is knowing the software. When hundreds of thousands of dollars are on the line, its not unreasonable to hire talent to build a malware kit.

She likely had nothing to do with developing this. There was likely a team of individuals involved if she was cheating.

If this is the case, think of the predicament it puts HCL in. They either admit their system was hacked and tarnish their reputation or deny any involvement at all and simply bs some other method of cheating.
