Someone got confused and used the wrong form of abbreviation for speeds. KPH stands for Kilometers per Hour, and is a sign of a lack of proofreading. Yes I am also bothered.
The routes themselves are bad. The tunnels run below already existing state highways. It saves them admin time only having to get approval from the agency that manages the highways, but makes it a poor choice for a transit line.
A conversion could be useful for getting people to the city center from the airport. But any station along the route would be difficult to access, unpleasant to be in, and be of little use to anyone being buried under a highway.
terrain Boring will have to navigate: the tricky, sinkhole-prone limestone bedrock of middle Tennessee. The construction risks range from collapsing the ground beneath a heavily traveled state highway, to knocking out utility connections, to flooding the tunnel with groundwater.
The ability to cut the rock is not the only challenge in boring tunnels. Regardless of the type of rocks it runs through, making tunnels using a TBM is one of the slowest and most expensive ways of making a tunnel. Its best to use other techniques, unless a TBM is the only option, which it isn't for this project.
The proposed airport line runs directly beneath sr41, and the second line is under sr70s. Just like Vegas it goes directly under preexisting roads, so they don't have to deal with the administrative headache or costs of acquiring the rights to dig under private property. In cases like this it is far cheaper to use cut and cover.
In cut and cover, you build a shallow tunnel by digging a trench, putting the tunnel in the trench, then burying it. Its the most cost effective way to make urban metro tunnels in most cases, but it does require shutting down part of the road to construct. However those carbrained enough to think chauffeur driven cars are mass transit, will consider temporarily closing a few lanes on the surface during construction to be unacceptable.
Cities will start and end school zones within a quarter mile of each other. The safer option would be to have the street stay a school zone for its entire length, but no. I've seen many cases of "end school zone, speed limit 35" signs just before the start of a school zone. There's no way that isn't fine to farm tickets at the expense of children's safety.
American streets are dangerous for children. The solution should be to make the streets safe, everywhere all the time. A temporary speed limit in a few spots doesn't fix anything.
Hard disagree on the sports part. Men and women are different, and those differences are huge at competitive levels in most sports. It's bad that women's teams and leagues are less respected and lower paid, but the alternative in reality is not an integrated league with both men and women, but one where women don't have a chance to play professionally.
You can see this historically. Most women's leagues are a new thing. The world cup started in 1930, the women's world cup started in 1991. Profesional basketball leagues in the US started in 1935, and the first american women's league started in 1978, which lasted 3 years. At which point there was no women's league until the WNBA in 1996.
We have 61 years of football without women's divisions, and 58 years of basketball to look at. Despite no statutory ban on their participation, women didn't get a chance to compete without their own segregated league. They are needed.
Every sport is different, and some work fine with intergrated leagues. But for those that are not, a lack of a women's division is a de-facto ban on half the population. That's a bad thing.
The sun is white, but the atmosphere reflects and scatters blue, allowing red and yellow to pass through. You see this effect in mornings and evenings when the sun's light passes a much further distance in the atmosphere due to its low inclination. Your logic is sound, the clouds do appear orange at that time.
The only time you can safely look at the sun enough to determine its color normally is a sunset when it is tinted orange. I can see how he might have come to this conclusion but.... wow...
I also had my first panic attack after starting HRT. I now have emotions, but not yet the ability to manage them. On T I would become uncontrollably angry when thinking about negative things, and I imagine that was effective at venting the frustrations. But now that doesn't happen, so I have to actually deal with the feelings, and it's not gone well several times.
Take care, but rest assured it is a normal part of the trans journey, I think. (i hope)
I practice safe handling with the handheld barcode scanners at the hardware store checkout.
Do not point the scanner at anything you do not intend to scan.
Keep your finger away from the trigger until you're ready to scan.
Be aware of your surroundings including what is behind your target.
I would extend it to any gunlike, or vaguely gun shaped object, even those that cannot cause harm. Don't become complacent with safety practices even when it doesn't matter.
I'm not dysphoric, I'm just constantly half depressed because I don't like whatever event, season, year, family gathering, employment, or pandemic is currently happening.
Those two counties are Petroleum County, with a population of about 500, and Garfield County with a population of about 1,100. Both counties have a single town with about a quarter of the population.
This means a majority of the population live in the country, and likely work the lands they live on. This means no commute to work, which is what was measured.
This is a flaw in the methodology. Rurual Montana is not a bastion of urban planning. It is a mistake to look at travel to work exclusively. People need to travel to many destinations. And those living in those two counties probably use cars for everything else.
Hmmmmmm that sounds like a different word. Not an automobile.
The modern car as we understand it began during the lifetime of henry ford. Every invention has precursors. Ideas always come from somewhere. Mentioning the first precursor invention does not negate my point.
This connection is well known. American auto makers had a close working relationship with the German nazis. Hitler created the autobahn, and then americans copied this nazi idea in the nterstate highway system, which was primarily designed to destroy black and other minority neighborhoods by running directly through them. Automobiles are an inherently nazi invention.
Its important to follow evidence based medicine rather than eminence based medicine. Respected organizations get it wrong sometimes, in fact being wrong is an important part of the research process.
Cutting edge research is research into areas that are not well studied. Future studies will the confirm or refute those findings. It's only when enough research has been done, and the field is no longer cutting edge, that we can really be certain of the results.
The gold standard for evidence are meta analyses which look at the totality of research on the topic. They will look at every study and trial done and draw conclusions on that basis. If one of those says something, its probably true and you should trust it.
I should remind you that the paper that started the modern anti-vaccine movement was published in The Lancet, one of the most respected British medical journals. A fraudstser, con artist, and then licenced doctor tried to cash in on the reputation of his employer and status. The result is the persistent lie that vaccines cause autism that we are still dealing with today over 25 years later.
You have to learn levels of evidence and analyse information on a case by case basis. Eminence counts for little. There are no shortcuts.
1 cosponsor. Ok sure. This bill goes nowhere, like the rest of them.
Any outlet that covers legislation at the point of introduction is just trying to scare you. Well over 90% of bills never even leave the committee stage. Without signs of support from others in congress, an introduced bill has less weight than a press release.
If you see the words "introduces bill" in a headline just ignore it the article is trash, solely intended to mislead.
Km/h is correct. KPH is wrong.
Mi/h is wrong. MPH is right.
