A Native American tribe recognized by the United States government possesses tribal sovereignty, a "dependent sovereign nation" status with the Federal Government that is similar to that of a state in some situations, and that of a nation in others, holding a government-to-government relationship with the Federal government of the United States.

The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe referenced in the article is one such Federally recognized tribe.

Similar workflow here. On iOS I use Keepassium, which can access files on Dropbox, so it can read and write to the master password file there, which then propagates to the other machines with Dropbox installed.

In the U.S., a great place to start is the USGS Lidar Explorer: https://apps.nationalmap.gov/lidar-explorer/#/

This site provides access to lidar point clouds (and DEMs, etc) collected by many agencies.

Additional lidar data is often available from individual state agencies, which is sometimes not aggregated into the national-scale services. A good search term is "[state abbreviation] gis" for the state of interest.

AFAIK, OpenTopography merely aggregates the data available at the above sources and similar. Unfortunately, OpenTopography has relatively restrictive access terms (e.g., free access only for those with .edu addresses), even though the same data accessed directly from USGS or other federal agencies has no such restrictions.

I don't know what your source is for the 2 ft number, as any predictions of future sea level are dependent on emissions scenarios. Further, sea level is local--that is, different areas of the world will experience different amounts of local sea-level rise in the future, based on regional conditions.

In south Florida, the estimated sea-level rise for the intermediate-high emissions scenario is approximately 5.5 feet by 2100. Attaining 2 feet of SLR requires an intermediate-low scenario. The high scenario results in 7 feet.

I have visited wastewater treatment plants in two of the cities I have lived in and I honestly think such a visit should be required for everyone--young and old--who lives in a house or apartment serviced by a municipal sewer. It is eye opening to see what happens to every drop of water you flush or wash down the drain, and especially to see what kinds of things make it into the wastewater stream and to the treatment plant. The tours are often run by folks who actually work (or have worked) at the plant as operators and are quite knowledgeable at all the processes in play.

In the same vein, have a look at John McPhee's Encounter with the Archdruid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encounters_with_the_Archdruid

A third of the book follows David Brower (Executive Director of the Sierra Club; Glen Canyon Dam opponnent) and Floyd Dominy (US Bureau of Reclamation director) as they float the pre-dammed Colorado River.

I think the Atom editor + Hydrogen plugin for running interactive Python sessions inline with the code is still unmatched by anything available in VS Code. This setup is what I migrated to when I ditched Matlab for the "scientific Python" stack, and I'm still here.

Multiple concurrent kernels, the ability to connect any .py file to any running kernel, sharing variables and imports across multple .py files, inline matplotlib output that persists on-screen and inline with the code even when running other code cells... the list goes on. I'm really fond of this setup. I use it daily--it's an essential component of my day job--and intend to do so for the foreseeable future. VS Code does seem to be the way of the future but there have just been too many friction points for me to leave Atom.

There was a high-profile theft of 13 works from this museum in 1990 that remains unsolved with no arrests made and no works recovered.

There is also a Netflix documentary on the theft called "This is a Robbery"

On most airlines the upper deck was originally used as lounge space, and then later for first/business class, which may have helped with the poshness you experienced.

In the early-mid 2010s I was fortunate to fly several times on the upper deck of an EVA Air 747 (SEA–TPE). On these planes, the upper deck was regular economy in a 3x3 configuration. It felt like a miniature 737 inside the huge 747, cozy in its own strange way. They also provided slippers and the window seats had a fun shelf/storage space, making it feel all the more special.

Written in 1648, which gives you a sense for how long this has been the case.

I've never emailed them but I have called them on a few occasions. Somehow they pick up before it even rings once. And it's a real person, not a phone tree. Pretty remarkable.

I remember checking Netcraft to see what server software different sites used and how long those machines had been up. The example graph [1] was www.apple.com and showed the switchover from Solaris to OS X (running, you guessed it, Apache) back around 2000.

Two of my favorite sources for thinking about map projections come from (where else?) the USGS:

and the more comprehensive Map Projections: A Working Manual: https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp1395

Tinder is murder. I'm 39, male, tall, attractive, fit, educated, etc. in a small-midsized city and it's extremely, extremely, rare to get a match. Very occasionally (1-2x/year, in my experience) things progress to a date/hookup. If you really want to use apps, I'd suggest exploring others. I've had the most success (relatively) with Hinge.

I'd agree with sibling comment that meeting people out in the world can be a lot more fulfilling. You probably know within seconds if you're (physically) attracted to people in the world. Apps can be deceiving.

Keep in mind that in your list of five items, you can manage all of them. If you want it badly enough, you can change #2, and based on your comment I'd argue this (negative self-image) may be at the root here. #3 is not a problem if you don't let it be--plenty of Bic-ed bald guys with attractive mates out there. We are all doled the genes we must live with, but I bet many of the perceived issues with #1 and #3 will improve if you fix #2. None of the women I have dated have cared, at all, about the money I do or don't have (#5). I live in a backyard cottage. I drive a 20 year old car. And as for #4, I can tell you I had a no-strings-attached relationship with a 21 year old for several months last year. She worked at the farmers market, which is where we met. I don't mean to brag, but you need know that each of those items in your list really is in your control.

It's a grind and a slog and it's scary to have conversations with complete strangers. But if it's something you want, I tell you it is possible.

EDIT: I should also mention I'm no "natural". I was terrified of girls in high school, didn't kiss anyone until I halfway through college, was stuck in a loveless long-term relationship for a decade after college because I was sure no one else other than this one person would ever love me, etc. It took a lot of learning and healing to describe myself as I did in the first paragraph. If I could do it, you can do it.

Registering the domain in July 1995 is a good start!
