Maybe the Yucca-killers don't like the idea of "waste" which must be isolated for many thousands of years. I don't like it either. Now, there's a lot of hand-waving missivls thrown about - like "don't worry about it" and "you're misinformed" - but at least some people have been talking about using Yucca for reprocessing this so-called waste, instead the throw-away cultural perspective.

https://lasvegassun.com/news/2...

Democrat-led Senate. Democrat President. Republican GOP. Shutting down Yucca Mountain was a goal of President Obama and he worked with his own DOE to make it happen. President Obama submitted continuing resolutions that tied elimination of Yucca Mountain funding to military expenditures - so it was either shut down the military or shut down Yucca Mountain. The Senate (led by Harry Reid) loved that as well. Definitely a priority for the President and for half of Congress - such that they were willing to eliminate funding of Constitutional duties of Government before they let it keep running.

Electoral College, learn about it, and realize that they aren't making a vote, they are fulfilling a role, and that each and every state has chosen to follow the vote of the people in the state, with the only slight differences being the cases of Maine and Nebraska, and even that's had minimal impact. States deciding to choose electors based on anything else would be a laughable outcome, and they just aren't going to do it. And they don't cotton too well to people who don't fall in line. As a result, the reality is? The Electoral College is just a pro forma sham, that doesn't really matter except to distort public interaction, and Donald Trump lost the real vote that matters, that of the people.

Then he lied about it. Which just shows his own deceptive practices, because even he admitted that the popular vote was what he considered important. People who try to ignore the popular vote (mostly ones that lose it) and rely on the Electoral College, are so deeply wrong, that they don't ever want to admit it. Some of them, like yourself, even make up sham excuses about how somehow the Electoral College does something to protect small states. They're wrong too.

I'm sorry, Lynnwood Rooster, I know you are committed in your partisan myopia to a complete and utter defense of the Electoral College, today, but since I also know you would completely change your tune if the circumstances were different, it's not exactly persuasive. You're not committed to any kind of moral position, you will simply believe you are at war with EastAsia, that the chocolate ration has increased, and that wrapping yourself in the Constitution will justify any malfeasance.

At least you're committed to that, so we know what you'll keep on doing.

Immediately after the white guy shot up the concert last year, all hotels on the strip changed their rules. From that point on they would not observe the Do Not Disturb sign on doors and would do spot checks of hotel rooms.

Caesar's says they will check rooms daily.

That these checks happened isn't surprising since the hotels did publicly announce their new policies. Then again, had that white guy not gone a shooting spree, none of this would have happened. Actions have consequences and all that.

Really?

Software bug, aka not a malfunction according to you, caused a $54.3 million jackpot to show on machine. Casino refused to pay the amount and later settled for $1 million. Didn’t get in trouble with the Nevada gaming commission.

So basically you’re using a definition that doesn’t match the rest of the world. Fine here: https://vegasinc.lasvegassun.c...

A casino executive said the machine had a software error and mistakenly displayed a jackpot amount in excess of what Casinos Austria is even allowed to pay. Officials told Merlaku that there was a glitch in the machine and blamed the manufacturer for the problem. Merlaku was offered a free meal and $100 instead.

So according to you a “software error” is not a malfunction so now please do show me where this casino got in trouble with the state gaming commission. Oh wait, they didn’t and eventually both parties came to a civil settlement far below the jackpot malfunction.

The whole "remember the Crusades!" bit whenever someone points out that Christianity teaches peace is a bit childish. If you have to go back 400 years to get your example of Christian rampage, isn't that a pretty good record?

The point isn't that Christians are oh so good now. Really it isn't. These things tend to come up whenever people condemn nutcase groups like ISIS, and some evill atheist points out that religions often foster violence. And many do.

Even so, although we domn't see many Christian Terrorists outside of Northern Ireland, it isn't like they are blameless, because the evil takes place on a more personal level, as parents under the word of god as granted in his unerring bible, with the admonition "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." Proverbs 13:24 King James version

Beat their fucking kids to death to show them thay do not hate them!

The tl:dr version, Mike and Debbie Pearl devout Christians belonging to the Greater Joy ministries. They claim it is the will of God. How dare you believe otherwise, It's right there.

Especially the second one. Cute kid. Look in her eyes. Her parents thought that God wanted them to torture and kill her. It was their religion, the words that instructed them were in their religion's holy book

There is a book put out by a Christian Minister ( that Michael Pearl who beat his child to death in the name of God), called "To Train up a Child" Its been found in a number of homes where people have also killed their children

but as I said earlier, the point isn't that Christianity is better than Islam, or the various other religions.

It is that religion will allow you to justify whatever evil you wish, and absolve yourself from guilt or responsibility, because the God you made conform to what you want to do ordered you to do it. Which by the way, is why religions are inherently evil.

"(1998) Beginning in June, the Energy Department plans to haul nuclear waste from 41 foreign countries by rail through California, Nevada, Utah and Idaho for temporary storage at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. Plans call for the shipments to begin in Concord, Calif."

At least it was protested against, any bets the trips went as scheduled maybe a little later?

A little more Google-fu and you can read about all the nuclear WAHEADS being TRUCKED around the U.S.

There's still probably a need in some cities for street-hail livery

In Las Vegas, hailing a cab from the street is illegal. You have to go to a taxi stand or call for one.

"Why do the majority of Russian speakers in Kiev say that they want Putin to fuck off?" Interesting - citations?

Criminal past? Again, citations? I find this kinda interesting, http://www.lasvegassun.com/new...

Whatever - you can't negate the fact that half the population of the Autonomous republic are Russian, and that they have had their fill of Ukrainian politics. The majority wants their independence - and maybe the overwhelming majority. It's supposed to go up for a vote in just a few more days, right?

One analysis shows that family of 4 will have an increas of $7500 a year, Obama promised a cut of $2500 a year

I've never seen such a study but I would be interested in viewing it if it does indeed exist.

You think the mandate sucks but think universal is good? What is the difference? Let me answer. Mandate = corporations run it, universal = government runs it. You are required to buy it either way, one through premiums with a choice, the other through taxes with no choice.

Incorrect. A mandate has nothing to do with who actually implements health care. All it means is that the action is on you whereas universal means action is not required. Now we can quibble whether a tax is considered "buying something" but the fact remains that health care would far cheaper since there would be no shareholders or profit margins in the equation.

As for the GOP input, give me a SPECIFIC example of what they put in it.

This took me all but two seconds to find. Like I said, I watched all the proceedings:

"Republican Sen. John Ensign scored a victory in his pursuit of healthy lifestyle rewards with passage of his amendment to health care reform legislation that would offer deep discounts to those who quit smoking, lose weight or otherwise meet healthy milestones." -- source: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/oct/01/john-ensign-scores-win-health-care-amendment/

There is ONE section and Obama has decided he will ignore that, and that was the part where Congress was required to be on exchanges and pay for it themselves

From my understanding, this is a popular conservative talking point. I haven't felt the need to research it.

Also, they're serious about it even ignoring the face value of legal US tender to prosecute.

Funny, that's not what your link says.

The indictments alleged that from 1998 through 2003 Kahre paid his employees and employees of other businesses with whom he contracted in gold, silver or cash from an office at 6270 Kimberly Ave.

No federal taxes were withheld from the paychecks and wages were not reported to the IRS, court records said.

True, it does list cash as 1 of the 3 methods of payment. But you see that second line? It doesn't say insufficient taxes were withheld, nor does it say that wages lower than were paid out were reported to the IRS. It says that NO taxes were withheld, and that NO wage reporting was going on. And nothing else anywhere in that link suggests that the face-value of any cash transactions was ignored.

You're not a very good troll.

Also, they're serious about it even ignoring the face value of legal US tender to prosecute.

Oh yeah, let's pay people with gold and silver coins that NOBODY will give you at face value, including the very people being paid in them. They'll accept market value for the coins but we'll just report them at face value that's completely bogus. Stop with the bullshit lies. Tell the truth and the whole truth.

As with everything else there's a form for that! We should charge the feds for doing paperwork for them all the damned time.

Also, they're serious about it even ignoring the face value of legal US tender to prosecute.

Texas, and at some point soon, Nevada. Also apparently there's 80 in at least Utah.

> They are disallowed from changing the odds of it "hitting"

Untrue. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/feb/17/dont-worry-your-slot-bets-are-still-safe/

No, true.
The linked article is about a system to allow the casinos to change the game being played, denominations and payouts. Not changing the odds of a game.

Would you rather be tased (unpleasant, effects wear off shortly, no lasting damage)...

Right, because no one has ever been killed by a taser.

SpaceX I've heard of, and Boeing of course, but Sierra Nevada Corporation?

I see that they're an extremely successful Federal contractor for electronic systems, and that they're developing parts for Scaled Composites. But their website is a bit short on company history. Where did the Ozmens come from? What was SNC doing before they took over in 1994? It seems to be a real success story, but is it really? Or are they just very, very good at getting government contracts?

This shed a little light on it: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2007/apr/08/fatih-ozmen-mystery-man-behind-sierra-nevada/

While I admit that I did not take that into account, you have another angle to look at. Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, I am not a civil engineer and do not have formal education in this arena, but...

When a power plant uses water for cooling, often it's used in an evaporative cooling tower, which means that a great deal of water used in the process of cooling the plant is actually evaporated into the atmosphere. When you take this from a body of water, like a river or a lake, a lot of the water ends up dispersed over the land, ultimately draining that body of it's water.

While I am pro nuclear, this article touches on that point.

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/nov/14/nevada-nuclear-raises-touchy-issues/

From the article

"That wouldn’t happen with water used at a nuclear plant. A good portion of it is lost as steam.

Modern nuclear power plants use about 25 million gallons of water a day."

This should be taken in context. However, i'm willing to bet that sewage treatment is a much, much smaller money sink for the average household, than electricity. Especially for households operating a septic tank, where water pumped from the ground is ultimatley returned to it anyways. Thus, I still hold my point valid on the grounds of those observations.

you ain't kidding, have you seen them drive? fuck me in the goat ass!

and look at the racist assholes who run education out there

Yes, actually, they do improve as a result of market conditions (the so-called invisible hand), when employers have to compete for workers in the marketplace. When there is a glut of labor applying for a few factory jobs, then yes, wages will be low and conditions will be poor. But then more manufacturers will build factories to take advantage of that cheap labor and the supply/demand situation will shift in favor of the workers.
That is exactly what the "invisible hand" is about.

The problem with your argument is that it is contradicted by established facts.
Specifically: the balance of power between labor and employers is unequal.

I could give you a history lesson about employment levels and working conditions,
but it's much simpler to use the 21st century as an example:

Even today, with all our labor laws, companies still try to cheat employees out of overtime, equal wages,
maternity leave, lunch breaks, bathroom breaks, safe working conditions, and anything else you can think of.

Wal Mart is the lowest hanging on the tree of labor abuses, but it happens everywhere.
I recall a series of articles on construction deaths in Las Vegas because of lax federal safety enforcement

The USA tried "the so-called invisible hand" and all it got us was monopolies, unsafe food, substinence wages, and inhumane working conditions.
I'm also willing to argue that "wages will be low and conditions will be poor" makes for shitty public policy, but that's another conversation entirely.

In early November, the Southern Nevada Health District shut down a "Farm-to-table" dinner hosted at a farm, because the farmer didn't have receipts for the vegetables and meat that came from the farm. (Strangely, they didn't question the imported alcohol.)

Among other things, this story reminds me of all the problems around self-signed certificates.

There were plenty of people who trusted the farmer, and didn't need health district approval before consuming the content.

Do you think browsers should choke over self-signed certificates? Should consumers beware?

This will cause utilities everywhere to raise rates so that they can cover fixed costs

To anyone thinking the above poster might need to adjust their tinfoil hat: This is not theoretical. Nor is it isolated. Nor is it even particularly new.

This seems to be a feud between some cult and someone who doesn't like the cult. For once, it's not Scientology. It's some offshoot of Buddhism.

One side of the argument can be seen here. An old article about William Cassidy may provide some background.

As far as I can tell from a superficial reading, both sites are nutcases.

If running a BC client constitutes being part of a pyramid scheme, then Social Security is also a pyramid scheme.

Social Security is a pyramid scheme. However Bitcoin is a bubble scheme. Both are bad - either for your wallet or for your freedom :-) Though bubbles don't have to be based upon a crime. The recent housing bubble in the USA was based largely in greed.

I thought that announcing the location and timing of DUI checkpoints was part of the awareness campaign.

I would say that our Congressman's salary should be the first item on YouCut.

Perhaps the Republicans would like to man up and be the first to go? ;)

Just make sure your piece is in a holster, not stuck in the waistband of your boxers and you'll be just fine....

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

http://forum.pafoa.org/news-123/105770-concealed-carry-holder-shot-killed-police-costco-nv.html

Erik Scott was killed outside a Costco by police. The police say he was trying to draw his weapon, but some witnesses seem to doubt that. It's been pretty hard to find much on the web about this that doesn't seem heavily biased -- the first I read about it was last week, on a page (I can't find) which basically alleged he was gunned down while trying to comply with police orders .... the inquest appears to have found the officers justified. Basically, the police shot him, feeling that he was drawing his weapon (and was a threat), but he had not in fact drawn it, and had not even removed it from its holster. Or, that's what I gather from the report of the coroner's inquest. The family will be suing to find out more.

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/sep/28/jury-shooting-justified/

Basically, the lesson is, be very damn careful when carrying, concealed or not. It also makes one wonder how one can comply fully (and quickly) enough with officers' lawful demands when the act of doing so (removing one's weapon) can be easily confused with drawing it. Scary stuff, and makes me somewhat glad I'm unlikely to be in that situation.

Well, Nevada is number one in rural road condition in the country (#15 overall). The quality of our roads is not a problem for fast moving traffic, although Vegas residents might disagree. Reno's freeways are, overall, in great condition.

Media Matters [mediamatters.org] is a media watchdog that is certainly politically motivated but frequently includes actual facts in their analysis. So it's a valid reference, and we can hope that readers will be intelligent enough to make up their own minds.

Media Matters is wrong. All you need to refute them is the recent list of sites that are being sued:

Conservative website among 3 sued over R-J copyrights

The article identifies Free Republic as one of the recently targeted websites.

To be fair, Media Matter's article pre-dates the suit against Free Republic.

You sir, are an idiot.

Thank you, I value your constructive input. It's statements like this that really make my day.

Vegas is STARVING

Right. Yeah, I've heard this sort of thing before too. Just look at those data points from March:

Commercial building permits — down 57 percent.

Commercial building permit values — down 72 percent.

Passengers at McCarran International Airport — down 14 percent.

Gross gaming revenue — down 18 percent.

Visitor volume — down 10.9 percent.

Convention attendance — down 4.9 percent.

Gallons of gasoline used — down 5.3 percent. That is an indicator of out-of-state visitors and transportation of goods.

Never mind that with those adjustments their revenues are still well above average. See, when growth slows, people scream like Vegas is dying.

Yet I was there in November and was a single one of the casinos closed? Nope. Oh well, they have to put off plans to demo the older ones ... why are they doing that? To build tons of newer ones, of course. The casinos and restaurants were still bustling but by news reports, you'd think the economy was tanking. So what happened? Who went under? What closed? Oh, decadent plans to demolish and rebuild were put off? I feel horrible for poor Vegas.

Vegas is STARVING, akin to what Dubai just endured

Well, I'm no economist but I know enough that comparing Vegas -- something that has been a cash cow for decades -- to the relatively recent startup of Dubai is not a prudent analogy to attempt by anyone.

Criticism of Obama makes you a racist, didn't you know?

No, actually, I didn't know. I also didn't know that a huge chunk of the Democratic Party were openly racist. Or that there were so many little old ladies willing to tell the world that they're "racist" by criticizing at least some small part of Obama's plans.

OK lets think about this. Craigslist is a community site, by and large moderated/regulated by the community. I'm sure you are familiar with the concept. Craigslist also provides links and tools for reporting human trafficking and abuse of minors. Now think about how many listings and how many cities they have. When you come up with a reasonable way to police that let us know. Also what money are they making off of these alledged posts? Before you point out that they charge money to post to the erotic services section, you should check where the money is going. "That money will be donated to charities that address human trafficking and child exploitation" http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2008/nov/29/craigslist-works-behind-scenes-deter-prostitution/

Unfortunately, Ford is still in bed with Microsoft.

http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/jan/16/ford-think-us-technology-company/

I am a GM fan, but I have to admit that I like the idea of the car just using the bluetooth in my existing phone, rather than needing to be it's own phone, ala OnStar. Note however that Ford wants to charge you to use your own car and phone after three years anyway... Oh well....

It's only
a slight
hyperbole.

Your signature is a nice touch.

First, the area of desert directly affected by the atomic bomb test is peanuts.

I wouldn't call 1,375 square miles, peanuts. That's 38,332,800,000 square feet, If we assume 10 watts per sq ft that's 383,328,000 KW per hour or 3,066,624,000 KWH in an 8 hour day. If the average home uses 600 KWH a day, that's 5,111,040 homes. Granted it would take 22 solar arrays like that to power all 107 million homes in the US (2001 census) if we tried to go by solar alone, and we had ways to store that power to use it 24 hours a day. A 1,375 sq mile array could likely supply the mid-day (non-peak) power needs to about 20 million homes because of the correlation of sunshine and power usage, little to no storage needed. That's the mid-day household power usage for almost the entire "West" census region. Not peanuts at all.

I live in Las Vegas, where it's sunny 355 days a year. Yet my power comes from the same places yours does (and will until at least 2012).

Here's a brilliant idea: instead of building massive solar farms, how 'bout putting those solar panels on the roofs of existing and new buildings? No environmental survey needed. Hell, you can put one on the roof of my someday-in-the-future electric car, too, so I won't even have to plug it in to recharge.

How about this story I just came across this morning? http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/sun/2007/nov/18/566675940.html
This didn't happen to anyone I know, but it is relevant to this story. I think the moral here is that you need to take information you learn with a grain of salt and carefully evaluate whether it is reliable enough to take action against a perceived "evil doer".
From what I have seen of this story, the following appears to not be in dispute: the woman created a false identity as a boy; she encouraged her neighbor's daughter to enter into an online relationship with this false identity; someone using that false identity made disparaging remarks to the neighbor girl, which led her to commit suicide. I am not convinced that a crime was committed (or that it should have been a crime), but I am convinced that this behavior is reprehensible and should be viewed as socially unacceptable.

All physorg does is reprint articles from news feeds and press releases, and they ALWAYS remove all links and online references from the original story. It's a "link tarpit".

In this particular case the story doesn't seem to have had much to wipe, but a little googling would have gotten you versions that didn't promote physorg.

Yeah, I was wondering that myself. No matter how far out you go you're 10-15mi out from the middle of the city, you'd think they'd put it somewhere more central so people from the northwest wouldn't have to drive -that- far just to see it. Like was mentioned, LV/Charleston would be a great location, but there's nicer areas to put them, there's a couple I can think of off the top of my head, but probably just because I'm selfish and I want them to be closer to my place. Also too bad someone let the simpsons house die...

By putting prayer in schools, you would be removing freedom of religion, not adding it. "No, Mr. Steinberg, you cannot sit out our prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray in this school, and I don't care if you're 'Jewish' or whatever it is you said"? As it is, any kid can pray to whatever god(s)/goddess(es) they want to, if they want to. Want to say Grace before lunch? Go ahead. The teachers just aren't leading kids who most likely hold different beliefs through one set of prayers which only recognizes one of those beliefs.

Putting prayer back in schools doesn't remove freedom of religion. No one says the phrase "prayer in schools" means it has to be led by state employees. No one says that it would require everyone to participate because it never required that to be criteria when it was there 100 years ago. That's only an excuse for those who don't want religion anywhere but in individual houses. Allowing it again would show that it is okay to pray if you want to and therefore encourage it. This is as opposed to how schools currently conduct school activities *led by students* by preventing the students from leading prayer such as at graduation ceremonies. That is not freedom of religion and it is because school boards are taking it to the extreme thus violating the 1st amendment in the process.

Even when religion conversation is started by students people think of whatever they can to still say it is sponsored by the school when it is simply students exercising their right to religion.

Another instance where people think just because religion talk occurs in a school it must be school sponsored even if a student is the one who starts it. This school thinks it can even dictate how prayer can be performed by students. How is that not violating the 1st amendment?

I think the guy from Trekkies 2 who built his condo to look like the bridge of ST:TNG hasn't been able to sell.

I think if this guy sells it, it'll be like the Simpsons' house. The lady who won that said her first step was repainting it because she figured the neighbors would hate it. Then she was selling it.

what a great idea, stuffing the mountain with nuclear waste !
What an ingenuous plan ! I would wagger that this is not where you live ...

Back in 1997, an archaeologist made an illegal field trip into the Nevada Test Site, making his way past armed guards, skirting underground blast areas, getting surprisingly close to Area 51, and nearly dying of thirst. I'm amazed that he made it out alive and didn't get arrested!
