No idea what Cargill is up to, but FWIW Duluth is suggested as the best place to live in the event of massive global warming.

Well, that's reductive.

The SEC lawsuit was filed in June. Today, the judge ruled the SEC's claim that Coinbase engaged in unregistered sales of securities could be heard by a jury at trial.

Two questions: 1) Contaminated fuel possibly caused the engine failure? In the past, sulfur in fuel dissolved contaminates but the switch to low sulfur fuel is now causing more engine failures? 2)...

I thought showing it in two steps as a change in momentum expressed it better than simply as force or kinetic energy. The main takeaway is it's very hard to design a pillar that can withstand...
