People always say go solar, but they do not realize how much carbon they make when they are making the solar panels, probably even more than if we just used the fossil fuels.
We should just be running on hydrogen cars also (this could keep sea level in check) although in the future if we use to much water it may fuck up out orbit.
There is enough thermal energy on our planet to sustain every city a billion times over, clean thermal energy that is being created by nature.
also, if we start burning up hydrogen from the oxygen it only takes 4% of oxygen to burn all the hydrogen, so you are left with oxygen in the atmosphere, perhaps we can use that on mars.
We won't be changing the Earth's orbit with anything we do. Nobody has really demonstrated fuel cells to be cost effective or practical. |

As a non-American I know little of their politics and was skeptical of Trump. I'm still not sure where he is taking his country but I'm starting to get entertained on how he just tell everyone to go fuck themselves. Let's see. Look at Trump's reception in China and compare it with Obama. Look at his respect in Japan. And, if nothing else look at the positive progress in the Korean peninsula.
Who should we compare that to? Obama? Bush 43? Clinton? Bush 41? No, you have to at least go back to Reagan.
Obama is a war criminal. He should have been stripped of his Nobel Peace award. War is Peace. Peace is War. (Dictionary of NewSpeak) |

Sure, really. You can download any of the apollo document set and examine them.
The life support system manual, the flight transcripts, the lander docs.
I think the recent advancement of Information Technology, electronics, and design, skewed my perspective about other areas. While the shape of vehicles and its computerization improved a lot, it still has wheels, shafts, and pretty much the same mechanics. It works! Well, NASA might have shabby rockets at that time, but it works!
C'mon guys, there is no Photoshop and After Effect at that time. Maybe the only way to convince people is to go there again, but SJW wouldn't be happy if NASA gets enormous funding from taxpayer's money. There are craters on the Moon left by the Saturn booster crashing into it. We've imaged them; they look quite different that meteor impact craters. Check them out yourself. https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/lroc-20100322-apollo13booster.html |

Well, in the past people had a street address, and they put it down when requested on forms.
Then they had phone numbers and put them down.
Then mobile phone numbers.
Then they had email addresses and put them down.
Then they had social media handles, and put them down.

You know what's funny about those type of things, you have thousands of people saying we did go to the moon but if you find out an old man said once we didn't, BOOM that means we didn't, you didn't believe him when he said we did but for some reason you believe him now, weird huh?
I never believed him, his job was a actor to keep raking in the trillions from tax payers, also that is not just some random old man, that is the guy who supposedly went to the moon. "because did not go" -Buzz Lightyear sorry I mean -Buzz Aldrin Buzz says it in this interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsjWEDSkbUU "Buzz Aldrin - Never went to the moon" Just think of it this way We went to the moon, but could not go back for 40 years..... "we destroyed that tech" literally what they say "and it is to painful to make it again". Like how the fuck does that happen.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16MMZJlp_0Y I'd go to the moon, but we don't have that technology anymore - NASA Astronaut Don Pettit It's true, many of the engineering drawings are lost. The program code for the Saturn booster's computer is lost, but we do have the computer. The LEM and command module computers exist, and many versions of their programs. You can run these today, and see easily that they will handle the flight computer problem of going to the Moon and back. Many of the issues are fairly straightforward, and well documented as to how they were done. The craters from the Saturn boosters are all located and imaged on the lunar surface. The entire Moon today has been imaged with LIDAR down to 1/2 meter, and all the Apollo landers and their equipment imaged. Hell, you can even see the footprints and trails of the rovers! https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/apollosites.html |

In the short term meaning days, weeks and months of course all major fiat currencies are more stable. What crypto is doing is providing an alternative means of sending, spending and storing value. Crypto can only work well provided that there are stable societies that permit it politically: meaning that miners and users of crypto are not hunted down as enemies of the state and secondly that there is a stable electric and internet grid.
Come anarchy, come the zombie apocalypse neither fiat nor crypto would have value. In fact fiat would have a LOT more value. It could, once again be considered a means of exchange as it would be relatively scarce and could no longer be recreated. Not to mention, that at worse, it could be used in fires. Crypto? Without electricity and the internet crypto doesn't exist.
Your analysis of fiat conflates Cash with all fiat; and may actually be backwards. Without electricity, Crypto safely resides in various blockchains and wallets. Fiat, the largest fraction of which resides in electronic ledgers, may be forever lost. Neither crypto, or fiat, is dependent on the Internet. The messages by which transactions are sent to miners are not Internet based. And for Fiat, pretty much the same is true. |

"serious immigration consequences" which probably means lifetime ban from US entry.
Same thing when they search the last five years of social media. If you've ever posted you smoked a joint, you also get a lifetime ban....
Someone talked about bombing the US, they get banned. I don't see any problem with that. |

The only point I could see people bring up is the fact that the people who pay tariffs are citizens of the US and firms in the US who are consuming the products that are imported. It's not like this tax is being levied against the Mexican government for each product that is shipped into the US. All this does is make Mexican products more expensive, and make American (or other countries products) seem cheaper.
I'm not saying by this rationale that this is a good/bad decision. I do think that this is going to help force the Mexican government into working towards a solution though. Just wanted to show who pays for this.
That's not so. Consumers in the USA will not "pay for more expensive Mexican goods that include the US Tariff." They will see the Mexican goods as one option in a competitive market, and likely pick some other, equally good product, which does not include a tariff. The net effect of this is Mexico losing substantial income and trade, the US getting minimal tariff income, and US consumers paying minimal amounts of tariffs. But you have to understand that the only reason that other goods are going to be bought by Americans due to the fact that Mexican goods are going to be more expensive due to the tarrifs. That's the only reason that the other goods now have to compete with other, more expensive goods. They may still pay for Mexican products if they are still cheaper than other, comparable products, even with the tariff. You might be right for certain items, say avocados, which are largely imported from Central Mexico, IIRC. Other growers might start to increase their fields and yields but for this item it might take ten years. I don't know for sure, but yes that's possible. Other items, suppliers could be easily and cheaply swapped. |

Although in many terms one may call me a globalist, but I disagree on the idea of a world without any borders lol. Simply because a world without any borders would be played on the assumption that all ethnicity and all individuals will be equally open minded and not be conservative and live in harmony and such a broad assumption is expected to be more hazardous than we can imagine and it may even lead to a globalised civil war. So, I would never support such ideas until we have the technology to know what is in people's heart as maybe in their hearts they still prefer their ethnicity as most superior  It's great idea, I agree, but not for our time. I believe that this will happen in the future, but in a very distant future, perhaps 1,000 or more years. Right now, such idea is not realistic because people are not mature enough and we have a lot conflicts, different cultures and traditions and people have not yet learned to accept differences. I think we will first have to create a unique world culture and tradition. This kind of talk is utter nonsense. Simplifying your response, it becomes.... "It's a very bad idea."You have the right to your opinion, of course. Still, it is difficult to give a concrete answer to such a general and hypothetical question. .... Actually, that's my very point. It's the easiest thing in the world to answer a poorly phrased or worded question. The answer is "NO" and there's no need whatsoever to develop a nuanced answer. The problem is with the statement as posed. Let's reduce it to some simple real world analogies. (A) Shall we take down the fence between Israel and Palestine within one year? (B) Between N and S Korea, within five years? (C) Between Mexico and the USA, within ten years? These can be debated. |

The Stunning Statistical Fraud Behind The Global Warming Scare https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/the-stunning-statistical-fraud-behind-the-global-warming-scare/?sfns=xmwaWhat do we mean by fraudulent? How about this: NOAA has made repeated "adjustments" to its data, for the presumed scientific reason of making the data sets more accurate.
Nothing wrong with that. Except, all their changes point to one thing — lowering previously measured temperatures to show cooler weather in the past, and raising more recent temperatures to show warming in the recent present.
This creates a data illusion of ever-rising temperatures to match the increase in CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere since the mid-1800s, which global warming advocates say is a cause-and-effect relationship. The more CO2, the more warming. |

Man-eating tigers could hunt down more humans due to climate change
The reasons why big cats turn on humans are complex and can be specific to individuals. But they can no longer be explained outside the context of climate change. Biodiversity depletion, habitat loss, extreme weather events, and a greater struggle over natural resources are affecting how animals live across the entire Indian subcontinent, and indeed the world. We should look to the case of Avni not for the peculiar baiting method, but rather for what her life and death tells us about the climate crisis.
I am not sure whether you are serious here, i have not heard about young tigers hunting down humans, majority of these case have being reported when an old tiger who does not have the strength to hunt in the wild come over to residential areas for easy prey and other things can be factored into it such as the deforestation and that is the root cause of animals vs human encounters. Look at my sig, then look at who started this thread so to have a better understanding of the... mmm... atmosphere here. It is a listing, among other things, of all the stupidest excuses invented to justify the lie called Global Climate Warming Change... A taxation for breathing. The giant Tony the tiger was a subtle hint, you missed it, that's OK. Thank you for your participation. I must suggest here, that there is more to the subject of tigers and humans than you may know. Here is a story of a tiger in a residential area in Houston, Texas. Now, how many more tigers may be hiding out that we don't know about? https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/weird/Pot-Smokers-Find-Caged-Tiger-in-Abandoned-Houston-House-Werent-Hallucinating-Police-505711841.html |

The current system is broken... people are getting weapons that should never even see one in person. A blockchain registration system could eliminate extensive waits for "complete" background checks. It would take the government middleman out of the equation. It would eliminate errors of state criminal records not showing up in the state search or otherwise being overlooked.....
Who would be the miners? Because they are the decision makers. This is something that hasn't been brought up in the thread before. Yeah, who would be operating it? What would be the incentive to keep it running? Do you think gun enthusiasts can run this instead of having large "miners"? I'm thinking something like when people run torrent apps on their phone. Like, by a gun and the download the app. This would just be the gun ownership records though, the psychiatric records of gun applicants would have to be in a different chain. Psych records would not necessarily have to be in a different chain. And right, what if gun enthusiasts were running it? You would have a radically different and certainly a better product than if gun restriction nuts were running it, or if government personnel were running it. But I don't see where this would change any of the arguments made. The controversy would continue unchanged. Decision making would simply be out of the hands of the politicians, it would seem. For the record I know the NCIS background system works pretty darn well, and almost all the protests and arguments that it's bad are wrong and politically driven. |

A 14 count superseding indictment was released yesterday that goes FAR beyond the single count of "hacking" the US.
These new counts ARE for publishing the classified material claiming it as spying, NOT the act of hacking the US.
The US DOJ is running WAY overboard and is pissing in the wind of more than a century of precedent, a publisher has NEVER been charged for publishing classified material before, until yesterday.
Ironically this is likely the best thing that could have happened to Assange's case (for Assange anyways), with the legal argument being SOOOO weak on this new indictment it increases significantly his chances of avoiding extradition by the UK.
This is a full fledged assault by the US DOJ on their 1st amendments rights, they truly will make the free press the enemy of the State if this bullshit goes anywhere!
This is not the actual world of spies, where one that steps outside the bounds is simply eliminated. This is the world of the media, where the USA can't just let this guy go. This is the game played against Flynn, and Cohen, but this time, it's someone you do not perceive as an enemy. However a trial would show the world there was no Russia Collusion, wouldn't it? You okay with that? |

People seriously have that short memory? Anyone remembers the ozone hole? Did you already forget the "global cooling" and "new ice age" that was being pushed all over media not that long ago? But wait.... We ware wrong! We had 50/50 chance and we ware wrong. OK... So man made "global warming". Boom! Problem solved. But wait... We don't have enough data to prove that and temperature difference is within statistical mistake so... I know! Climate change! Now we are covered. No one can say that climate doesn't change. Science is solid here! It doesn't matter that there are natural cycles. It doesn't matter that we had much higher CO2 levels in the past. It doesn't matter that higher CO2 level means better vegetation. Why would anyone increase CO2 level in their greenhouse? It doesn't matter that weather manipulation is a common thing and you can find companies offering it online! But who cares - you are a conspiracy theorist. If that was true it would be on the news... because science is solid! It doesn't make mistakes and in the whole history of humanity science was never used as excuse to push an agenda or just make $. Have you ever walked in winter and created hundred meter long line with your warm breath? Very perceptive. A Global Warming Alarmist is actually not with the current trend in Totalitarian Takeover Using Climate Science as an Excuse. "Climate Change" includes BOTH global warming and global cooling. |
