Lake Needwood is beautiful right now and is just north of Rockville.

Might want these on log scales

Not in the south. Most prisons in the south don't have air conditionings. That makes working in the prison pig farm a choice position as those places have air conditioning, because it would be inhumane not to.

In most cases, they do so to inspect and clean the metro. They have teams to identify and clear out major trash and 'fluids'. Also, to note anything suspicious. I accidently boarded one when it went out of service and that's what they told me was why they did it.

I'm not sure I felt schadenfreude about his diagnosis. I was mostly hoping that if he died then his supporters might have taken it more seriously. Instead, he survived and somehow used it as him passing some form of mythical 'trial by fire'.

Looks about what you'd expect if those colors would be used in a color printer. He's probably even less likely to throw a tantrum when he's out of cyan.

Here's more if you want, both evidence of manipulation, and the resulting effects:

Also, China is notable for 'cooking the books' when it comes to GDP. A lot of countries do, for instance, Italy won an Ig-Nobel prize in economics for including its black market in GDP statistics to boost the numbers.

People do it on the MARC from Frederick and Martinsburg all the time.

It might be brought down when the 8000 series comes online in a couple years, assuming you can get the speeds up between those.

Still no additional cost:

Plenty of people who get advanced degrees work between bachelors and masters. For some places, it's even an application requirement (notably with the MBA).

Hispanic people can be any race. How are you counting them? Is this over/under representation compared to the non-Hispanic remainder?

I'm curious how this data came about. Does a bachelors include those that have further education? Are you including professional degrees (MD, JD) in Master's as well, as would be the UNESCO definition? What about PhDs, as there are many disciplines where the norm is a direct bachelors to PhD?

Too many reservations without seeing the initial data.

Using bachelors and masters as colors in a stacked bar chart would work better too.

There's a lot of personal preference here as well. For me, I'd much rather just relax on a metro than drive in horrendous traffic.

No transportation project is financially viable without taxpayer funds. This way, the metro gets to tap into the tax base of the county with the highest median household income in the US. There's also likely to be some additional traffic benefit from people who come in from IAD as well.

Oh that makes more sense, because Vienna, VA is a really good example of American sprawl

It's likely to be about maybe 60 minutes or so from Ashburn to say L'Enfant. That's probably less than what it would take to drive to DC in rush hour without taking the toll roads. Google maps would put it at 1hr 15min no toll and 1 hr 5 min with for driving, assuming an 8 am departure on this Thursday. So it's time competitive with the Metro right now. The big difference is that you get to relax and play with your cell phone rather than get stuck in traffic.

I am into server hardware and cables! Guess I have to be satisfied with youtube!

Almost everywhere has a backup elsewhere, and likely mirrors on the west coast and other continents.

When looking up things to do, it's basically parks and breweries. If you like to bike, you can take your bike on the metro to there and ride the more rural parts of the W&OD.

Most of it anyway. Yep, the mythical 'cloud' is mostly just a collection of computers in Ashburn, VA. Sadly, most places don't offer tours, nor is there actually a cloud to look at, as far as I know. If somewhere needs some mythical-looking cloud sculpture, its Ashburn.

It's free on the MARC. At least the Brunswick line, unless they changed it.
