Reply to State Report Finds Compliance Rates at WA Marijuana Stores Much Higher than Tobacco and Liquor Stores by GivenAllTheFucksSry
Thats because the state has more 15 year olds on the payroll targeting the weed shops. Most of the liquor stores are the old state run stores with the same people.

Reply to Corridors between Western U.S. national parks would greatly increase the persistence time of mammals. Establishing an expanded protected area network based on identified mammal pathways and incorporating adjacent wilderness areas would greatly enlarge available habitat for mammal species by Wagamaga
Yea, anyone who's in undergrad for biology will probably come across corridors in an ecology class. Its all about who owns the land...just look at the checkerboard land plots between BLM and the ranchers/land owners in wyoming

Reply to Proposed Washington State law Addresses Under-Staffing for Nurses at 'Breaking Point' by Hyperion1144
My local hospital has been hiring for awhile now. Its a good hospital, level 2 trauma center. I think the issue is older nurses retiring/hospital top brass nickel and diming. My mom is a retired nurse practitioner from the VA. About a month after she retired, the VA opened a clinic in her hometown and offered her a nice 6 figure salary. She declined to come out of retirement.

Reply to comment by homeostasis3434 in A study on obese patients suggests the gut microbiome affects obesity levels. Microbial diversity decreased in obese subjects, and the reduction trend was correlated with the severity of obesity. by glawgii
I guess the question is now, what caused obesity 1st, the diet or the microbiome. I think a good experiment to run would be, to look at weight gains before and after taking a round of antibiotics. If the antibiotics reduce the amount of gut flora, then there should be some type of weight gain.

You have to remember that the basics of making money with airplanes is to fill every space with cargo, as long as the plane can still get off the ground. Its common for airlines to do some cargo for mail.

Alcohol sales rep in Thurston county here. Can confirm. Washington has some weird liquor laws. For example, alcohol distributors aren't allowed to take back/ exchange discontinued items. Imo, its good customer service to do that for stores. Also, Washington has one of the highest liquor taxes in the country. Everyone has to add 20% to the price at the register

Reply to AskScience AMA Series: We're NASA experts working on SWOT - an upcoming mission that will observe nearly all water on Earth's surface. Ask us anything! by AskScienceModerator
I used to do agricultural research for the USDA, specifically water use. Is NASA taking evaporation into account, in addition to measuring the height of the surface of the water. Can I assume that the lasers on the satellite are similar to the lasers that measure snow pack on those other satellites?

Reply to comment by Southern-Trip-1102 in Chinese scientists develop salt-tolerant soybean that can grow well on previously barren soil by mutherhrg
Used to do ag research for the USDA. Many of the papers coming out of China used the wrong math, wrong area of study/said they were experimenting in a tropical environment but the study area was in a arid climate. One in particular I remember laughing at. The PT equation for the evaporation of water has a variable that differs for the type of environment of study (ocean, lake, alpine, etc) the Chinese researchers used the variable for the ocean but their study site was a semi-arid in west central china.

Reply to comment by 857477459 in Where Students from American Colleges Move After Graduation [OC] by waitingforgoodoh
Been this way for 150 years. Farmer has 7 kids, let's say 1 die to a childhood disease, 2 become farmers themselves, one takes over the family farm, and the rest move to the big cities cause they can't find work...as technology progresses, those same farmers have fewer kids. So today, a farmer has 3 kids, 1 stays to be a farmer and 2 go to the cities cause you can't find work when the only things in town are a gas station, small diner and grocery store
