Poop indirectly on crops. Systems like this or the Aztec chinampa system, basically try to keep nutrients in the loop with fish and other aquatic organisms. Obviously, there's a disease risk if you do it wrong, but that's also true for modern water treatment.
The background check agency probably uses data brokers, though. They would just only pass along what they are allowed to.
The effect of larger shipping noise on whales is something we don't talk enough about. Also, there seems to be a bit of a gentleman's agreement on sonar usage to avoid power/frequencies that would be really harmful to whales, but the moment one countries breaks that agreement, they will have a leg up because they could get better long range and more detailed data on the movements of another country's navy.
There have been isolated test events that have lead to mass whale suicide.
Hornets are a type of social wasp. We actually don't have any native Hornets in america, but there are some types of wasp that we call hornets, like bald face hornets. We do have European hornets here, which are bigger than yellow jackets, and infamously, we also have some of the Asian giant "murder hornets".
This is all just made from someone's uneducated opinions, so I wouldn't call it a cool guide. Honeybees are great where they are native, which is Eurasia. In the americas, they are invasive, and hurting native bee populations. Commercial beekeepers have co-opted the "save the bees" slogan to sell their products, but they are a major cause of bee decline by outcompeting native bees, and by shipping hives across the country to various pollination contract sites, which spreads disease and pests.
Hornets and yellow jackets (which are both subsets of wasps) and other wasps are all great in context. You probably don't want a yellow jacket hive next to your front door, but they are fantastic general purpose predators that can help keep your garden pest free. Likewise, there are many highly specialized wasps that will hunt specific pests like hornworms. Many wasps are also great pollinators like all the varieties of fig wasps.
Wasps are great. Fantastic pest control for gardeners. Especially if they are a "general purpose" predator
Elbows have always been allowed on the table. The rule for fancy dining was that you couldn't have elbows on the table during a course, i.e., when people are actively eating, but before/after, it's fine. That's a reasonable rule to be considerate of space.
Fold your clothes immediately after drying, while they are still warm. Also, dryers that can add steam really help if you've got a few things that need wrinkle removal. Also, handheld steamers are cheap.
Mostly, avoid needing to iron by avoiding wearing formal business attire.
Any info on surface roughness? I'm thinking shiny side would be smoother and therefore less sticky, though I don't know how much the passivation layer would affect it. Probably no where close to making a difference at the end of the day, but I'm curious.
Sentry Safes aren't safes, they are fire boxes with a fancy lock.
Judging by the one I bought when I went off to college to keep some documents safe, they don't even have fancy locks. I misplaced my key, but I was able to open it in the same amount of time with a pumpkin carving knife as a jiggler.
That doesn't appear to be good journalism. The article does not mention that the reason they want to move the location of the tunnel is to remove the biggest bottleneck on the northeast corridor, and redoing the current tunnel location keeps that bottleneck. Removing that bottleneck would have huge benefits to public transit on the eastern seaboard.
Additionally, they mention "train emissions", but don't mention that the trains that would use the tunnel are all electric. The only time there would be any emissions would be in the case of a fire, which is very uncommon in passenger trains. The highway and other busy streets in the area are a far bigger problem.
Overall, it seems like standard nimby-ism.
These pressures are all gauge pressure, not absolute pressure. 1 bar gauge pressure would be about 2 bar absolute.
