Massive property tax increase. Owner-occupants are exempted from that tax.
As soon as a bank initiates foreclosure proceedings, they owe the full, non-exempt tax rate. That stick gives them a strong incentive to work with their borrower.
Massively increase property taxes. Exempt owner-occupants from those increases.
You want a second home, you’re going to be paying the full, punitive tax rate on one of them.
Everybody. Fucking everybody.

I would prioritize a VPN ahead of an ISP. Free Open/Public APs are not uncommon in my area.

At 30,000 feet and +50C, which literally never happens, your density altitude is ~38,000 feet and 100 KCAS will get you 194 KTAS. Not quite 400 😜
This is why I’m a balloon pilot and not a fixed wing pilot. 30,000 is 12,001ft higher than I’ll ever see, and 30kias will probably collapse my envelope and splatter me in a corn field. 😵💫
and winds aloft forecasts from one of the government agencies the Republicans are desperate to destroy,
Can confirm: the accuracy of forecasts in general (and vertical wind profile data in particular) plummeted for this year’s flying season. The GOP is needlessly endangering aviation safety on multiple fronts.
So in short, is there no conclusive evidence linking it to autism?
Kennedy hears that there is no conclusive evidence linking tylenol to autism yet assumes the causal relationship exists. (It just hasn’t been proven yet.)
Any rational person hearing that there is no conclusive evidence linking tylenol to autism assumes the causal relationship does not exist. (But acknowledges that the causal relationship has not been disproven.)
A better summary would be “Kennedy acknowledges his claims about Tylenol are not supported by evidence.”
I imagined it would be relative to wind speed at the craft, as measured by some instrument. Which would make the comic at least true in a general sense, as it does state the altitude is constant?
That is the misconception I am trying to address. Check out this wind report:
1kt of wind on the surface, 5kts at 100ft. My balloon is 120ft tall. My balloon is experiencing those 5kt winds while I’m floating inches off the ground. If I have an airspeed indicator in the basket, it’s going to be reading 4kts. (Actually closer to 5kts due to the change in direction as well as speed)
How about if I’m at 150ft in the basket, in 5kt winds. The top of my balloon is 270ft, in 12kt winds. My airspeed indicator is going to be reading 7kts. I’m going to have 7kts of wind in my face.
I’m trying to point out that the height of a balloon is very often larger than the gradient between two different air masses.
I have experienced 15kt shears: my basket is hanging in an air current 15kts slower than the air current that my envelope is riding within. I have felt 15kt winds in my face while riding in a balloon that is carried by the wind.
Edit: yep, air speed is relative to the air the vessel is moving through
Just to complicate it a little bit, “Airspeed” usually refers to “Indicated Airspeed”, which is provided by measuring the ram air pressure into the pitot tube relative to the static air pressure. It’s a measure of dynamic pressure rather than actual speed. It’s how fast your wings think they are moving through the air.
If your wings need 100kts in the thick air at sea level to lift off the runway, they will need to “think” they are moving at 100kts when you get into the thin air at 30,000ft.
Depending on altitude, you might actually be moving at 400kts past a weather balloon, but your “Indicated Airspeed” might only be 100kts.
Balloons don’t carry such instruments, but they do experience airspeed. Balloons can climb and descend at over 500fpm. We experience vertical “wind” at those speeds.
Balloons are tall enough that the envelope can be above a wind shear, while the basket can be below. I’ve experienced 15kt shears, enough to deform the bottom of the envelope into a “question mark”.
On most flights, pilots will experience 5-7kt shears at certain times.
Randall isn’t a hot air balloon pilot.
Most balloons are about 100’ tall. The difference in wind speed between the surface and 200’ AGL can be 15kts. (it can be much greater, of course, but shears that strong are below flight minimums).
It is not at all unusual to descend through a shear such that the envelope is in 20kt winds, while the basket is in 5kt winds. It’s rather scary, actually, because our aerostatic aircraft start experiencing aerodynamic effects: “False Lift”. These effects only exist while the balloon is crossing the shear. Once it passes through the shear, all that aerodynamic “false” lift disappears, and the balloon starts sinking like a rock.

Paracetamol" takes the “para” part, and then a few other random letters that don’t really make sence.
Because it actually comes from a different chemical name for the same compound: para-acetylaminophenol
Americans know “paracetamol” about as well as you apparently know “acetaminophen”.
They are the same compound.
“Paracetamol” is the generic term used in Europe and Australia. “Acetaminophen” is the generic term commonly used in the Americas.
Buoyancy is functionally irrelevant here. Buoyancy in air effectively subtracts 1.3kg per cubic meter of each substance: The mass of the volume of air displaced by the object.
The part you are not understanding: Drag applies the same force to both objects. Gravity applies the same acceleration to each object.
