Do Federal Government workers have Appeal rights on all levels under US code?
Depending on your situation you may be guaranteed Due Process Whether state action against an individual was a deprivation of life, liberty or property was initially resolved by a distinction between “rights” and “privileges.” Process was due if rights were involved, but the state could act as it pleased in relation to privileges. But as modern society developed, it became harder to tell the two apart. Was a driver’s license a “right” or a “privilege”? How about a government job? Enrolment on welfare? An initial reaction to the increasing dependence of citizens on their government was to look at the seriousness of the impact of government action on an individual, without asking, as such, about the nature of the relationship affected. Process was due before the government could take an action that affected a citizen in a grave way.
What are some good designs for interplanetary spacecraft in kerbal space program?
The only planet that we could really travel to is Mars, or possibly (out of interest) the Jovian Moon Io. There seems no point to me for man to actually travel to any other of the Solar System’s planets. Even Mars will take around six month to get there, so the biggest consideration will be crew quarters, so as a minimum the craft would need to be at least the size of the ISS. Add to that some sort of propulsion system, atomic powered rocket engines have yet to prove viability. The Russians, it is rumored are to test a Nuclear Fission Rocket Engine next year, however it also needs a propellant (fuel) to heat, they are quoting six weeks to Mars. Russian sources say the engine is half the weight of a conventional rocket. Orion Nuclear Pulse rocket is possibly the most efficient, it propels by setting off sequences of Nuclear Bombs, small ones, but as you can imagine, is quite dangerous. If we wish to explore in deep-space (outside of our system) we need to develop other means of travel which do not rely upon physical propulsion (Rockets), such as an EM Drive/Photon Drive or Warp technologies. We cannot afford to enter into journeys that take generations or centuries to complete, there is no payback for today.
What video games do you play that are pure joy?
Here are some genres I enjoy the most:Turn based strategy games:Civilization tops the list and is my favorite game of all times. PC only.Cities series (XXL, Skylines): a Sim City clone. PC only.Stardew Valley (farm sim in the taste of early facebook games).RTS / real-time strategy games:Total War series tops the list (PC only). With this said, I’m more excited by the historic based games rather than the TW Warhammer episodes. Rome 2 and Shogun 2 top my list.Eve Online (PC only): this is a must play, at least once. Just epic and there are thousands of players online. But way too time consuming imho.Factorio, Terraria: smaller indie games, but a complete different ballgame and challenge. Lots of fun. Feels like playing Lego.Sandbox One Player / Multiplayer RPG:Everything Bethesda: Skyrim, Fallout series.Everything Rockstar: GTA IV, GTA V, Red Dead Revolver.Indie games: ARK, Space Engineers, Garry’s Mod.Shadow of Mordor series, from Warner Bros - though the latest episode is a bit disappointing.FPS:PUBG: that has a unique take on the whole FPS genre - I particularly like the exploration / looting elements.Battlefield 1: the latest EA entry is phenomenal. A must have.Borderlands franchise: this is a pretty unique FPS in the industry. Unique art style, outstanding storyline and characterization, probably more replay value than most games out there.Mad Max, from Warner Bros. Very underrated imho.Arma series (PC only): if you like difficulty and a bit more ‘realism’ than most FPS.
