Really, it's far easier if you go that route. Finding the other is classified knead-to-know.
The US is so big, it doesn't even have one electrical grid. The big two are the Eastern and Western Interconnections. It's all well and good to say that power in Kansas is cheaper than power in New York, but that's because there's nothing in Kansas to increase demand. It's often still cheaper to produce power in New York (or Ontario) than eat the serious transmission losses of moving power across half a continent from Kansas to New York.
As for the outliers, we...uh, don't talk about ERCOT.
Depends on how you feel about her contemporary/peer Reagan. Closed the coal mines, ran brinksmanship against the trade unions, cut taxes to pursue "trickle-down" economics, and privatized massive swathes of government industries. Economic inequality sharply increased under her stewardship, with the lowest decile outright losing income and increasing expenditures.
She also oversaw massive cuts to defense and tepid diplomacy that led Argentina to think they could take the Falklands.
And ironically, the one with the goatee was the *only* good mirror universe copy in that episode.
Split the difference: I had a semester with both an 8AM and an 8PM class. It was...something.
Which has itself become a status symbol, it seems. It says, "I'm rich enough to get filled with more botox than a national biological weapons program."
Lorance v. Commandant was ruled in 2021, and supersedes 1915's Burdick v. U.S.. To quote: "We conclude that Lorance’s acceptance of the pardon did not have the legal effect of a confession of guilt and did not constitute a waiver of his habeas rights."
Burdick v. U.S. did not rule that pardons require guilt, though it has been read as such by people like President Ford; its *ruling* was that pardons cannot be forced to be accepted. The statement that pardons presume guilt was at most a dictum.
(As an aside, all the District Court decided was that Lorance had the right to petition for post-conviction relief, that he didn't automatically lose his rights, and remanded it back to lower courts. I haven't found anything on whether he actually won post-conviction relief in the end, but given that he's been publishing right-wing books about the "corrupt military hierarchy" and did a few fundraisers with Trump, he doesn't seem to have been hurting too badly.)
Not necessarily. In the US, accepting a pardon does not presume guilt, nor does it deny you legal redress such as appeals to overturn a verdict you feel is unfair. You aren't forced to choose "prison or forfeiting right to appeal" if given a pardon, just like you can't be forced to take a pardon.. This was determined in Lorance v. Commandant (2021).
Mind, Lorance *was* guilty of two counts of second-degree murder, so he personally was guilty as sin. The precedent nonetheless stands.
I didn't even think of the packaging material, it's so ubiquitous. I thought they were being thrown by the oddly-shaped cut into one tab.

Really, it's been downhill ever since life first started pumping large amounts of free oxygen into the atmosphere.
Depends on the worm: some platyhelminthes and annelids have primitive light-sensing organs called "ocelli" that are frequently referred to as eyes. The annelids range from earthworms (photo-sensitive cells) to leeches (pigment spot ocelli) and polychates (which go up to complex eyes with retinal cups). The platyhelminthes include the flatworms and tapeworms, though it might just be a fluke.
(I make no apologies)
Simply pining for the fjords.
Ah, fair enough. I've heard very similar suggestions made unironically with the Sahara often enough that I immediately thought you were being literal as well.
Ah, there's your problem. You need to keep it discreet. If it's discrete, it's separate from everything else and stands out.
It's not just that it "didn't really work"; that's rather mild for sheer scope of the failure. It's that there was literally no plan for the "what do we do now" part. Planning for reconstruction started late, took "somehow, Iraq stabilizes itself" as a key assumption, and stirred in inter-departmental rivalries between State and Defense.
The difference here is that Trump doesn't even have a plan for the "war" part, much less the "peace" part.
You do realize that transmission losses are a thing, right? You aren't going to power the nation with a single grid in Arizona, because you'll lose almost all the power in waste heat just getting it from Arizona to Maine.
This is why we deploy locally for an actual practical solution. Solar grids on rooftops, over parking lots, over vast stretches of "wasted" land. Fossil fuel and other on-demand sources still have a place as reserves as solar's biggest weakness is its inconsistency.
I assume really bad AI output. The White Ranger is the most obvious because they're almost the Pink Ranger colored white, but all the helmets being Temu specials (almost but not quite right), the random blurs on the hands, the green glove on Red, the swapped pattern (color/white reversed) on Green's right cuff and Blue's right glove, feels like it was created by something that couldn't understand its own output as a whole, much less the source. A bad 'shop would get colors internally consistent.
Much of what we see as dusty and dingy today is also caused by literal centuries of soot from burning candles and oil. The recent renovation of Notre Dame and slightly older restoration of the Sistine Chapel, for example, made both far brighter now, and the "black Madonna" of Chartres turned out to be accidentally dressing in blackface for at least two centuries.
These restorations have, of course, not been without controversy.
#1 So, what they're saying is that they're going to Judge 'Dred?
Indeed. For him, he called it the difference between "allegory" and "applicability," with a very strict definition of "allegory" due to his profession as a professor of early medieval literature, where allegories have both strict and universal correspondences with the symbol or meaning represented. Animal Farm is an allegory in this respect.
He described the difference as "[applicability] resides in the freedom of the reader, and [allegory] in the purposed domination of the author."
Even the S-400 has been repurposed by the Russians as a ground to ground missile (to dubious effect, but that may reflect as much on the operators as the missile). Poking around, Ukraine does seem to have designed these using the 48N6 (longest-ranged variant) as an original base, but made significant changes to ensure to work as ballistic missiles fired from trucks on ground targets, including replacing the electronics for guidance and stabilization.

(dating at earliest to over 700 years past the Western Roman Empire, and being again Chinese), also relies on knowing what steel even is, being iron mixed with carbon and other impurities (and not just "ultra-purified iron"), before one could nail down the precise ratios needed. The actual process required temperatures beyond Roman bloomeries and knowledge of those ratios. This only reinforces the point that Rome lacked the foundations to build the foundations (etc.) for a steam locomotive. ②
