Platystemon posted:The next time someone suggests we need more engineers in government, remind them that Herbert Hoover was an engineer. By that logic lawyers, state governors, and anyone in the movies/on TV should be disqualified. Based on past history, I'd suggest looking for presidential candidates among the following occupations: * surveyor * planter * general of the Army of the United Colonies * postmaster * journalist * supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe, U.S. Army chief of staff and maybe peanut farmer. vv Agreed, but not the point I was trying to make when I hit return too many times vv thepopmonster fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Feb 17, 2019 |

Orvin posted:The article that is the source of that graph is using a sample of 51 top ranked liberal arts colleges. I could see that greatly screwing the numbers. How are they surveying geoscience professors from liberal arts colleges? Maybe the term means something different than what I'm used to but to me an arts college is one that doesn't have a science faculty.

Memento posted:How are they surveying geoscience professors from liberal arts colleges? Uh, no, liberal arts colleges definitely teach science subjects. "Liberal arts" college is not the same thing as "art college". Like, they don't just teach painting and sculpture. As an anecdotal example, I got a computer science degree in addition to taking biology and oceanography classes at my super-hippy liberal arts college.

Memento posted:How are they surveying geoscience professors from liberal arts colleges? A university can be rated as #4 for a degree in postmodernist dance therapy and training seeing ear dogs ASL, and still have an engineering program. It doesn't help that the term College and University can mean different things in different areas.

Memento posted:How are they surveying geoscience professors from liberal arts colleges? Liberal Arts colleges will have various science curriculums. At the University of Illinois, all the non engineering sciences and math were in the college of liberal arts. Due to chemical engineering evolving out of straight chemistry, the chemical engineering department is in liberal arts there. And since that is one of the few degrees they have that generates alumni with money, they hold on to that program with a death grip.

And it costs a few hundred bucks to replace it to make your table saw useable again. We had to get real strict with the table saw for a while there.

Jerry Cotton posted:That's still quite a shock I believe he shat himself. quote:Richards's most famous act has also drawn much controversy in recent times, of how the "trick" was done. This is because of the fact that a cannonball fired at full-force would kill a human being, and would likely have killed Richards. With this, skeptics[who?] have analyzed his act as being the result of a spring-loaded cannon, a hollow cannonball, and manipulation via "movie magic".

Memento posted:Edit: just found out that the eruv covering a large part of the Bagel Belt in Melbourne is partially made up of wire mounted on tram cables, so there's a disclaimer saying you can only walk on the inner footpath of those streets on the boundary. Its a huge area of the south east bayside suburbs. ALso as noted by someone else, there is an inner hole around a park with a lake in it.  $60,000 a year to maintain for around 350 people who are ultra orthodox who use it. They have an app now.

Pretty sure drunkill is the one saying it's a waste of money and iospace is saying that 60k is a drop in the bucket as far as religious grift goes. Though I don't think drunkill is going down the Jew gold route either.

Generally most eruvs will have private maintenance staff for this. They tend to find that their level of urgency isn't matched by local governments. It's possible that in some places like Israel, you might find the eruv is a local government function but in most places it's private.
