    Just curious....how is the weather in your neck of the woods?

    The Gulf Coast gets strong storms so that's not surprising, however I'm going to go out on a limb and attribute the severity to climate change. To really tell it would take an attribution study. For us personally, we were fine. The worst missed us by about 10-20 miles. Max wind gust was...

    Biden Offers to Debate Slime Boy Slim Twice

    Well the post was about the debate being good for Biden and bad for Trump. Both you and fski are right about 2020. Trump was beaten by historic margins and lost both houses and the White House as an incumbent which is objectively one of the worst outcomes for an incumbent president in American...

    TX gov Abbott to pardon man who killed BLM protester in 2020

    What?! Besides my wife and daughters being treated like 2nd class citizens, having to have backup power and water so we don’t freeze to death after cold weather, or cook in 100F+ heat after a hurricane or die of thirst/contaminated water after the municipal water supply goes down for either of...

    Biden Offers to Debate Slime Boy Slim Twice

    So you are arguing that the debates helped Trump? Or are you arguing a point he didn’t make?

    New covid variant becoming dominant: KP.2

    lol. I’ve done 4 international flights and several theater shows. Caught COVID after not masking after one of the international flights. Data isn’t the plural of anecdote.

    News Pro-Moscow PM of Slovakia attacked

    So what’s the potential fallout from this assassination attempt? Sometimes Eastern European ministers getting shot can get out of hand or so I’ve heard.

    So why did Biden suddenly take a page from Trump’s playbook with tariffs?

    The problem is actually dumping. A foreign government funds its domestic production for international consumption in an effort drive out the foreign competition. GM, Ford, and Tesla would struggle to compete with Chinese BYD EVs artificially priced $10K - $20K less via Chinese subsidies. So...

    Russia on brink of ... NOPE! Russia INVADES Ukraine!

    I noticed that when I posted a meme of Zhukov under the pic of the new Russian MoD. I was wondering if it was a shop or just the outfit they all wear.

    California Ending Hidden Consumer Fees

    We have my entire family and the in-laws on our T-Mobile wireless plan. 4 of us updated our phones last Christmas and got credits applied for turning in our old phones. (Get $700-$800 off if you turn in a phone) It took us (2 NASA engineers) 3 hours last night to figure out how they applied...

    Man votes illegally for 40 years, not deported or jailed yet.. guess why?

    I’m for declining population but of a very specific sort. First I’m talking worldwide population because fewer people are easier to support sustainably. Second I’m talking a very gradual decline where the rate of decline slows (preferably because people are living longer) Third the rate of...

    Boeing CEO fired today, 12/23/19, effective immediately

    Oh you sweet summer child. If you only had an idea of how many verification tests on any given engineering project are missed, dropped, or reduced. Granted most aren’t falsified but occasionally they are. When that happens you have to decide whether to redo the test, if it’s even possible...

    Is techno-fascism a thing?

    A limit of 0 new ideas is still a limit so technically you are right. Good job. However didn’t you move from California to Mississippi a state that has a murder rate 3.5 times as high as CA? You sure you know how to keep a reasonable level of personal safety?

    I’ll say it again. If the conservative side of SCOTUS wants to drag their feet on ruling if a president is immune then let Biden pull some shit that either forces them to rule presidents aren’t immune or he gets away with it.
