It's difficult to think of a worse way to waste electricity and water.

You have me in tears...

Also Molly.com

This is a great idea. A drone would also work, but would need favourable weather.

I would love for this to be true, but who is the Farmingdale Observer to make these claims? A quick search suggests it's a small town American newspaper.

No sources cited in the text, a quote from an "activist". It's not much to go on.

A simple search shows that this is widely reported. Here's a BBC link: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57724779

Thanks!

Side note, Farmingdale Observer has gone from 0% to a very significant % of my Chrome mobile New Tab Page suggested content. Very weird out of nowhere news source to show up. I'm wondering what's changed.

I definitely am suspicious of these links, they feel weird to me. Much much worse, whomever Sustainability Times is: they've shown up at about the same time, and man, they trip my bullshit worse-thab-clickbait alarm a lot!

Wondering what's changing with the New Tab Page. Feels like a very big about two months old realignment, major shift. (Also, what is the proper name for this screen?)

Was he the guy who claimed if the USA stripped out gun crime from it's crime stats, it was lower than all the other countries?

The banality of evil.

Probably to stop the personality. Coups are often driven by "soldiers loyal to...". Having a civilian in the role would pre-empt that.

OTOH a waiver undoes all of that. It shows how much of democracy depends on people following conventions and traditions.

The "radar-evading" rather gives the game away.

Radar evasion is very useful if you're rescuing someone from enemy/contested territory.

SAR assets can still be shot at. Opposed SAR is something the Navy and Marine Corps train to.

I understand your point, but having an engineering degree is not just the possession of a certificate. It's a piece of paper that testifies that the holder has the skill and knowledge, and has passed exams designed by experts in the field.

The response given to Heaviside does suggest that snobbery was a more likely reason for refusing his membership, but that's just my impression.
