Can you please help me out on this question…. How does prohibition compare to the current battle over the legalization of marijuana in the 1920s?
Battle is a bit strong of a word to is as there is no physical war. You may want to use ‘political struggle’ instead.
I have one which is, there’s disappointment in life. I can compare disappointment to baseball by saying; when you are winning the game then the other team comes back and wins. Disappointment. I need to compare parts of the game to truth, like maybe the count (3 balls 2 strikes) or use the scoreboard somehow.
Our lives will eventually end, no matter what happens. As in a baseball game, one may be fortunate enough to sneak in a few extra innings, but eventually, the game will end.
I’m a junior and I’m starting to look into colleges. I’m interested in going to a college in or near San Francisco. Many benefits to this. I love San Francisco for one thing and it is only two hours from my home so now long commutes to visit home.
So what I was wondering how does HSU compare to the other colleges in California. Is the tuition fairly reasonable or expensive? Academic wise how does it compare? And most importantly of all is it hard to get into?
If I were you I would go AWAY to college. You being in Cal. is easy as it is a large state and you have in state tuition. I think it is a lot like UCSC but not as hard to get into but I could be wrong. Maybe UCSB.
I currently bought a home and I need home insurance. What is the best way to compare home insurance quotes? I want a good policy but I have a small budget, Is there a way to compare home insurance quotes online?
To compare home insurance quotes you have 2 options. Spend your day calling agents in the phone book and getting quote after quote. Or my favorite fill out one form and make the agents compete for your business.
A company called insure me allows you the ability to complete one quote form, then that form is sent to all agent within your zip code. The agent in return will send you their quotes based on your information.
This method allows you to compare home insurance quotes by filling out one 5 minute form. Its real easy and fast, I have included a link below so you can get the process started or read more about the process.

Good Luck,
I’m looking into getting a tattoo on my inner right bicep. It will be either 3 or 9 words. I currently have a tattoo right between my shoulder blades and was wondering how you would compare the pain from experience.
Also, are they hard to heal? I’ve heard they take a while.
I don’t have any tattoos but my fiance has 8 in various areas on her body. She has one on her back also and one on her inner arm. From what she says after each tattoo, it all depends on YOUR pain tolerance and body. Some placements where there is a thin amount of skin can hurt a bit more. Also tattoos she’s said that are on or going over bones (ie. ribs, spine..etc.) can sometimes hurt more. But I gather from her that it just depends on the person.
Hello, I’m a political science newbie and I’d like to know why is it necessary for political scientists to compare different governments of different countries? Aside from the government itself, what else do we compare when we study comparative government/politics?
And what’s the difference between international relations and comparative government? Thanks!
it is important because it gives valuable information.
I am already doing a litmus paper test, I need another way to compare the acidity in different sodas that would be more accurate & give me some numerical data for my project.
There is a device called a pH meter. Essentially how it works is there is a part that you put into the solution you are trying to test. That part is connected via cable to a part that must remain dry, but gives you a digital readout (i.e numerical data) and is accurate to about a hundredth of a pH unit.
See if you can borrow one from someone, or ask if you can use it under supervision. Many chemistry courses at the end of high school involve using a pH meter, so your school may have one.
I need to know how to compare the power of the two. I tried doing it by looking up specs but I couldn’t figure it out. I’m trying to figure how much power a plane would need to get moving to that which a ship needs. I know it sounds crazy but it’d be awesome if someone could help.
I actually think that I am trying to compare the thrust.
Piston engines are rated by torque and horsepower, as are turboshaft (turboprop and helicopter, as well as stationary) engines.
When comparing performance however, turbine engines will have the ability to maintain more horsepower at altitude (in less dense air) than their naturally aspirated piston counterparts. This is because they compress air before it enters the combustion chamber.
Turbocharged piston engines will be able to maintain similar at-altitude performance as the turbine, because a turbo-supercharged (ts) or turbo-normalized (tn) engine is actually a hybrid design of the two types. A turbine uses exhaust gasses to compress the air in the intake tract. Ts engines can compress intake air to a pressure greater than normal atmospheric (>29.92 mm/Hg) Tn engines just raise the manifold pressure to normal levels (</= 29.92)
Generally speaking, the turbine has the advantage of greater reliability because of its lack of reciprocating parts, the piston or turbo-piston engine has the advantage of greater fuel economy (higher break horsepower/ specific fuel consumption) mainly because the combustion chamber is sealed during the power stroke.
There are also turbo-compound piston engines, which can be even more efficient…..lots of terms, most folks don’t know they existed anymore. See the Lockheed super-G Constellation for an example of a turbo-compound piston engine driven aircraft.
Finally, to help you with your project, at sea level, where a ship would operate, the horsepower rating of a turbine and a piston engine could be directly compared. Note: some engines are rated in kilowatts, which can be converted to horsepower with a simple formula see www.mr2ownersclub.com/converter.htm .
Just another hint to help solve your problem, compare the density of air and water, and calculate how much each vehicle must displace in order to move.
The data set includes the number of cars, buses, taxis, motorcycles, bicycles, vans and lorries that go by in 10 minutes. The question says i have to show this in an ‘appropriate’ diagram and compare it with a friend’s data set (of the same observations). I was thinking of using bar charts to compare them?
What is the most appropriate diagram to use and why? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!
Yes, since you’re talking about how many, a bar chart would be good. If you were talking about percentages, a pie chart would be good.

1. It’s not who wins or loses - it’s how you play the game.
2. When you think you’re having a bad day, think about the Cubs announcer, the late Jack Brickhouse’s, quote about the Cubs not winning the World Series since 1908: "The Cubs are just having a bad century".
3. Like hits and runs, errors are part of the game.
