Modeler of atmospheric flow, clouds and boundary layers. #MicroHH. Associate prof at Cleveland State.
Not Minnesota, but Cleveland made it down to -8F this winter. Our ~2k sqft, 100year old home was retrofit with Fujitsu airstage minisplits. They're rated down to -15F, and -8F was no problem.
Install can be finicky though. I'd select installer first, and go with whatever brand they carry.

3) When you decline, suggest at least one other reviewer, preferably a junior scientist who tends to do a great job and is likely not on the radar of the editor.

Mwah. ABQ ligt wel op 1.5km hoogte, in de woestijn, dus om die reden is het al gauw een graadje of 10 koeler dan op zeeniveau. Ze hebben er ook een liftje direct de sneeuw in. Wel goed insmeren, maar verder een prima stad om te wonen.

Nature valt zeker onder de predatory journals.
En zonder al te diep op financien in te gaan, het journal waar ik voor edit (Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics) heeft een APC onder de 2k, maar nagenoeg gratis voor armere instituten. Wat dan nog overblijft gaat naar de prof. org. (EGU).

Helemaal met je eens dat je betere dingen kan doen dan het aan Elsevier c.s. geven.
Maar wil wel een onderscheid maken tussen predatory publishers met absurde fees, en Open Access journals die alleen hun kosten verhalen, en vaak gelieerd zijn aan een professionele society.

I once wanted to have my bike fixed and repair guy mentioned the "no-name brand bad tires" (schwalbes). I was *this* close to the doorstep when the shop owner saved me as a customer.

Isn't it more useful to look at the swing relative to 2020 in this case? That's when all the incumbents had their most recent election.

The roof was old, and we wanted solar panels (made it *just* under the Dec31 deadline..). So we replaced the roof, and got insulation under the roof, filled up the knee spaces, and did the basement rim joint for good measure.

It does massively increase the chance of the perfect outcome for this season: Verstappen within 8 points of a World Championship, making the Russell crash in Spain the decisive factor.

Interesting to see that Dem supports remains roughly steady at ~45%, and that Rep support is going down from 43 to 41%. So is this mostly GOP disillusionment?

Gonna argue that every form you're filling out adds to the possibilities of finding/fabricating a mistake, thus facilitating the expulsion if need be. But I AM happy that I don't have to renew my green card anymore, especially between now and 2028.
