Challenge #04293-K275: A Child Could Understand...
[Solid water] Compound composed of hydrogen and oxygen, essential to support carbon-based life. Keeping it in the solid state makes it easy to carry.
"...isn't it ice?"
"no, no, no. Ice is ice, this is water, just in the solid state."
"...isn't that the definition of Ice?" -- Anon Guest
Galthax took a deep breath, twining hir tentacles in a thoughtful manner. "Ice is frozen water. This is solid water. There is a difference."
Human Iz scrunched their face up, attempting to comprehend and evidently burning out some brain cells in the process. "Solid water. That's not ice."
"Correct," said Galthax. "Water compressed and pressurised to the point where it stops being liquid at above zero temperature. It's all in the magic of gravy drives."
Iz was still frowning. "Hahn?" A very Human noise of non-understanding.

What is the difference between inland and oceanic waterways?
Water transport is a two-part adventure! We have inland waterways, like rivers, canals, and lakes, navigating within the embrace of land. Also, there are the oceans vast expanses of open water connecting continents and carrying us across the globe. What are the key differences?
Location: Inland waterways are rivers and canals winding through landscapes, while oceanic waterways are the wide-open expanses of oceans and seas. Imagine exploring a national park versus sailing across the Pacific!
Trade: Most inland waterways facilitate domestic trade, carrying goods within a country or a land mass. Oceanic waterways almost always enable international trade, connecting different countries and continents. Think crude oil from the middle east arriving in Europe via oceans versus coal or grain moving down a river.
Vessel size: Due to shallower waters and narrower passages, inland waterways use smaller vessels (barges). Oceans enable giant cargo ships and tankers, navigating deep waters and open routes.
Challenges: Each comes with its own set of challenges. Inland waterways face seasonal variations in water levels and may require lock systems to climb hills. Oceans face unpredictable weather patterns and vast distances.
Regulations: Regulations vary depending on location and purpose. Inland waterways usually fall under national regulations, while international agreements and maritime law govern oceanic waterways.
Ultimately, both inland and oceanic waterways play particular roles in trade. While they differ in location, trade scope, and challenges, they share the power to connect people and economies across large distances.

As water enters the cell, turgor pressure increases and stomata open (Figure 4.14). In some plants, for example ferns, stomatal opening and closing involves changes in the volume and turgor pressure of only the guard cells (see Figure 4.14A). (...) In angiosperms, stomatal opening and closing involves changes in the volume and turgor pressure of both the guard cells and the subsidiary (or adjacent epidermal) cells (see Figures 4.14B and C).

Not that anyone asked but looking at a.) the fact that Carpenter says that it’s clay being torn from the riverbank by the floodwaters of the White Gull and b.) The Hjulström Curve:
Tumblr media
We can determine that the flow velocity of the White Gull River in TSV45 was approximately 150-300 cm/s.
What does this mean? Absolutely nothing, I’m going to be so honest. I just find this amusing

Welcome to Infrastructure Week, Biden edition.
For the 4 years of the Trump Presidency it felt like every other week was gonna be "Infrastructure Week" but some piece of chaos derailed the Trump White House's plans.
well Yesterday, May 13th 2024, The Biden Administration declared this week Infrastructure Week to highlight ALL the major work they've done in the last 3 years.
Under the 2021  Bipartisan Infrastructure Law $454 billion in funding has gone to over 56,000 specific projects across all 50 states, the territories, DC, and tribal communities.
The White House launched a Map of all the projects you can look at
Tumblr media
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is part of President Biden's wider Investing in America agenda, and together with the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPS and Science Act, the American Rescue Plan, all passed by Biden and Democrats in Congress has brought $866 billion dollars in private sector manufacturing and clean energy investments.
They released a State by State factsheet to show projects in all 50 states, all the territories and DC
Roads & Bridges: The Biden Administration has launched improvements on 257,000 miles of roads, and repaired 13,000 bridges. This $300 billion investment in our roads and bridges is the biggest since President Eisenhower’s interstate highway system in the 1950s. The Administration has given special attention to addressing historic injustice in our infrastructure. Many minority communities have been divided by highway bypass projects from the 1940s forward, such as the Sweet Auburn neighborhood of Atlanta Georgia. The Biden-Harris Administration is now helping reconnect divided communities and righting historic wrongs. The Department of Transportation put out a video highlighting the story of Philadelphia's Chinatown, how being split in half and have a multilane highway in the middle of their community effects them, and how the Stitch project will positively impact the people who live there who have fought for years for such relief.
youtube
Rail: The Biden Administration has invested  $66 billion for rail, the largest investment in passenger rail since the inception of Amtrak. The President recently announced $16.4 billion for 25 passenger rail projects on the Northeast Corridor. This will improve service for riders from Boston to Washington DC. President Biden has also announced $8.2 billion in new funding for 10 major high speed passenger rail projects across the country. These include a high speed rail project to connect Los Angeles with Las Vegas, which broke ground April 22nd. Planned to be finished in 2028 in time for the LA Olympics, the train will take 2 hours to get from Rancho Cucamonga, California to downtown Las Vegas making it the fastest way between the two cities.
Tumblr media
Transit and School Buses: The Administration has invested $90 billion in public transit, the largest in American history. To date the DoT has helped replace 3,000 public buses with low or zero emission buses while the EPA has replaced 5,000 school buses with clean buses.
Electric Vehicle Charging, EV Batteries & Critical Materials: The Biden Administration is the first to directly invest in electric vehicle charging. the number of publicly available charging ports on America’s roads has surpassed 182,000, over a 90% increase since President Biden took office. The President has also invested in domestic manufacturing of batteries, already five manufacturing plants have broken ground.
Clean Water: The President invested over $50 billion government-wide for the largest upgrade to the nation’s water infrastructure in history. This funding places us on a path to meet the President’s commitment to replace every toxic lead pipe in America and works to close the wastewater gap for 2 million people who lack basic sanitation. These funds have already financed over 1,400 drinking water and wastewater projects across the country, including over 800 projects that will deliver clean water for Tribal communities that lack basic water services. To date, the Administration has deployed funding that will help replace up to 1.7 million toxic lead pipes. 
High-Speed Internet: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invests $65 billion to help ensure that everyone in America has access to affordable, reliable high-speed internet—regardless of their income, race, or zip code.  Over the last year, all 56 states and territories have developed their plans for how they will spend more than $40 billion in funding to connect every unserved location within their borders. That funding comes atop $1 billion for middle-mile infrastructure, which will build more than 12,000 miles of fiber across 370 counties. These projects, will connect 10,500 people, 1,600 farms, and 295 businesses directly to fiber networks. The Department of Commerce has also awarded 148 Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (TBCP) grants, serving over 280 Tribal Governments, which will connect more than 65,000 Tribal households, subsidizing thousands of devices, and funding digital inclusion activities for Tribal communities. 
Deploying Clean Energy: The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes more than $62 billion in funding at the Department of Energy to advance our clean energy future by investing in clean energy demonstration and deployment projects, developing new technologies, and modernizing our power grid. This includes an investment of over $20 billion to upgrade the nation’s grid—a critical component to achieve President Biden’s goal of delivering a 100% carbon-pollution free power sector by 2035. 
Legacy Pollution: Thanks to funding in the The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law the EPA has been able to cap 8,000 orphaned oil and gas wells, with tens of thousands more to be plugged in the years to come. Over 100 Superfund sites have also been cleaned up or started with funds from the Law as well.
And More!
