Here are a few:

  1. Because it's our right. (I know you know this but it's still the first reason).

  2. Because when recreationally shooting a gun like this it's more enjoyable to have larger capacities.

  3. Number 1 again.

AAA has historically opposed pro-bicycle legislation. Their first priority is automobiles.

Geologist by training here and it's been many years but as I recall, subsurface geothermal systems can be quite complex, especially in regional systems like Yellowstone, Iceland, New Zealand etc.

The hope, as I understand it, revolving around geothermal in the United States is tapping into much larger areas, namely the basin and range region, where subsurface temperatures are much higher than other areas. In this area, while there are many natural hot springs, they are remote and less commercial so disruption would have less impact. The benifits could also be fantastic since there is a huge area that has potential. (Most of Nevada and Western Utah). The biggest challenge is the complexity of underground faulting throughout the region. We can understand the general structure (hence the name "Basin and Range"), but the details are a challenge. At each macro fault you have lots of microfaulting and if you are attempting to scale up an energy production facility over an area you risk disrupting the system with each fracked well.

If we can very accurately map the subsurface, it'll go a long way towards making this energy source much more viable. (We've had years to get better at microfracking so getting an accurate map of what's down there is most important)

It doesn't have to make sense, it's propaganda. The aim is to change opinions.

That said, the logic may have been looking at the Japanese culture at the time which did identify with the concept of expansion, which crystallized further with Hirohito.

Lots of meta-level comments here so I'll add one that's more in the weeds:

In an office job, it's always good to be friendly with IT and the office manager/administrative assistant.

Thank you for the simplified explanation and for giving me the mental Image of Rudy Giuliani as a minion. (I can even hear him babbling in minionease...)

Thanks.

I was going to say, that it's not an environmental document and climate science was barely a thing when it was written. (meteorology was but not climate science as we know it).

This seems like a decent solution but if you are going for a longer trip a concern is water/weather if your ebike is in an open truck or on a rack like this.

I've got a Rad Wagon and a Juiced Crosscurrent and I love the bikes but I transport then in an enclosed trailer to avoid getting them wet.

I not sure if they are "BIFL", but I've got five pairs of Darn Tough socks I bought five years ago that still feel new.

No other sock aside from Smartwool has lasted me this long ans stayed so comfortable.

This is a great community.

The Lemmy community is far better than the subreddit

I prefer a higher priced vehicle with better gas mileage so I save money over the long term while being slightly easier on the environment.

People are just more openly angry in general since Covid.
