To clarify, the emergency spillway is 30 ft below the top of the dam, not 30 ft high
The emergency spillway has never been needed before, so it's never had a chance to be tested by the looks of it

Anybody know how much it costs them to make one of these deliveries? Is it cost-competitive with a delivery truck?

You can't call it a fair election if as a society, we're threatening to punish people for supporting one candidate over another.

Didn't there used to be a way to flag misleading headlines?
I'm fine with Exxon benefitting from a carbon tax. They have the political clout to push a bill like this through Congress, and it benefits the country as a whole to have carbon legislation in place. Seems like a win-win to me.
Thanks a bunch, I've been looking around for a good data science text to read to get an intro to the field, and this seems like a good place to start.
