Interstate or longer intrastate pipelines require compressor stations every 75-100 miles. The parent article mentions this under "Compressors". As another comment states, friction is the main reason.

I’d take a few days off if you have any, and take a long weekend to ponder a few facts (some other comments have raised these): 1. Maybe I’m a bit burned out and need a break. 2. Or maybe I’ve got a health condition that I should check out.

It’s going to take a while to unpack your comment. Until then, while you mention Ro, you might not know that some recent reports show it approaching 6 in some areas, not 2.x as thought by some over a month ago. With an Ro of 2.5 and a mean

I don’t think they’ve fully faced the emerging danger of COVID-19 for an event like this. It’s not just the 400,000 attendees, it’s the 2.2 million people in greater Austin. COVID-19 can render a victim contagious within 12-24 hours after c

I’ve seen reports of 80% mild, 15% hospital (mainly oxygen and managing secondary infections) and 5% critical care (ICU, some intubations). But, yes, even 5% could overrun hospital resources.

I’ve seen C19 rates of 20% seriously ill (hospitalization) and 5% critical care (ICU). Almost no country has the capability for this, even in large cities. There are vaccines for flu; none for C19 for 18 months at the earliest. Also, C19 is

I agree with you, it’s a fantastic book, and not really about motorcycles at all. (If memory serves, Pirsig used note cards or slips of paper to assemble this ambitious work. Post-It’s were first sold in 1977; the book was published in 1974

I read this story exactly the opposite: it doesn’t have to be perfect at the start. You just build something people want, and then hire a team to improve the back end (without destroying what people wanted it for in the first place). Major
