They make it sound as if this was changed 100 years ago, but it was still very much the norm in the 1980s and 1990s:

Its interesting that the article does not use the words Stirling Engine once, or provide a definition and a description of its method of operation.
A cool thing to note is that stirling engines are used in submarines and even in spaaaaace

This turned out to be more interesting than I was expecting, and includes portions of an interview with the House delegate from the Northern Mariana Islands. One thing I didn’t know is that the populations of all of the five territories with permanent human populations (Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and American Samoa) are shrinking pretty dramatically. This video doesn’t get into why, but I can’t help but wonder if all of these places wouldn’t be better off if they were either granted statehood or full independence.

I’m sure that’s the case for all of them. I just don’t know for certain what’s driving the economic problems, and that’s why I wonder if they would be better off either with full statehood or full independence. Right now, these territories don’t enjoy the full benefits of the Constitution, but they’re also not fully self-governing, so a lot of what affects them they have little to no control over.

I wonder if this includes Cheryl Hines?
