No, it's about what has news value and what doesn't. Anybody who doesn't understand there's news value in a situation like this is probably so stupid they'd drown looking up at a rainstorm.
Would you know anybody who fits that description, Sparky?
You're right about that, but Nixon tried hard to get a single-payer public health care system through, he backed affirmative action strongly and he created the EPA. Those are all pretty liberal, by today's standards.
I have to chuckle at the acronym "POTUS". Usual practice would be to leave out the little words (and, a, the, an, etc.).
Of course, that would mean people who like to sound authoritative and strong would be a lot less likely to use the acronym for the US President. Somehow, no matter how you pronounce it, "POUS", just doesn't cut it.
You nailed it, my friend. When I tell conservatives President Obama is in some respects far more conservative than Richard Nixon, they call me a liar. When I prove it by referring to their actual and legislation they backed, the cons' tiny heads explode like those little red firecrackers.
All of which, added up, is no more than a small fraction of the environmental cost of pumping, transporting, refining, flying in and then burning all that diesel.
If there is an award for the comment that best embodies the slack-jawed, drooling idiocy of the neo-conservative right, surely it should be won by the one above.
That's getting into "I hire young guys to do that" territory.
I think the point is that Musk's roofing would be lighter than either of them. But yeah, I know a guy who had to get his roof reinforced before he could put a tile roof on.
The approach you suggest was tried. It failed miserably. Most of that crowd is either already in the tank for the fossil fuel people or too stupid to get it. There's no point in being polite to them, or pretending that they'll ever act like anything but spoiled children.
At least ridiculing them can produce a few laughs, and that's a good thing.
That would be true if the AGW deniers were being honest. But since they're mostly shills for the fossil fuel industry, they're every bit as opposed to one as the other.
That's interesting. I haven't found Solar City reps to be that way at all.
I'm going to go 'way out on a limb here, and suggest the odds of you actually buying a Tesla are the same now as they ever were, and those odds are about the same as the odds that you'll be kidnapped by aliens.
Nothing you said was true, from your utter bullshit about insolation to your bullshit claim about electric cars being worse for the environment than those using internal combustion engines.
If your mother actually had hands rather than paws, she should probably use them to wash out your mouth.
Anyone who's ever had to hoik those bastards up onto their roof, will know exactly how right you are. I suppose uranium ingots would out weigh them, but not by a lot.
It might be an idea to get in touch with them and find out whether they'll do a deal with you. If they're trying to build a case for these things, they could do worse than having a happy customer telling his neighbours what a great product they've got.
My oldest computer would be a great test lab for them. It's pretty slow anyway, has only 2G of DDR2 RAM and still runs XP Pro. It runs Firefox 44.0.2 with Classic Theme Restorer. The memory management is absolutely horrible...constant long pauses. Pale Moon is fast and smooth.
I rarely use this computer anymore, but it still works, so I let it visit the occasional website. I keep the OS patched through that well-known registry hack, so I still get security updates for XP.
And yes, my security (software and hardware) deals with the hazard of using an older browser/OS. I wouldn't recommend anybody do this with the machine they rely on.
I wish I was allowed to mod you up. You just provided a beautiful description of why I changed to Pale Moon. I got sick and tired of having some idiot pop up every few weeks to jack around with a GUI I was thoroughly familiar with, and break extensions I relied on.
You say that as though you expect me to be surprised. Perhaps you're unaware that Pale Moon is an actual fork from Firefox. It retains everything that made the old Firefox great (and my browser for many years). I switched when Mozilla decided to turn Firefox into Chrome's retarded little brother.
I honestly don't know. I've got an iPhone (got an incredible deal, not my first choice), and can't use it. My buddy with a rooted Android has a version running on his rooted Android phone and absolutely loves it. I'm pretty sure they don't do a special version for mobiles, so he's essentially running a full browser on a very good capable phone.
Nicely said. I've gotten over being polite to these lying c^cksuckers. They're exactly like the scumbags the cigarette industry dug up and/or paid to deny the link between cancer and smoking.

"Why is his admission carrying more weight, than his denial would have?
Because during the campaign he said it was all a scam. Now he's contradicting himself. At the time, his denial carried a lot of weight.
I can explain using even shorter words, if that would help.

F^ck that!

Thank you for being a lying sack of shit.

Sadly, your points are all well-taken.
You poor, ignorant child. Obama, in many respects, was considerably to the right of Richard Nixon.
You must be very young, and not very educated about your own country's history.

So Musk's roof will be cheaper than a lot of upscale roofs, plus it will make free electricity for you.
How are the Global Warming deniers going to turn this into a horrible thing that people should avoid?

Ah...right on cue. You'd be one of those c^cksuckers I mentioned.
I switched over to Pale Moon, and I have found that it uses less resources than Firefox. And it's a lot faster on my older machine.
Nicely said. I've gotten over being polite to these lying c^cksuckers. They're exactly like the scumbags the cigarette industry dug up and/or paid to deny the link between cancer and smoking.
So let me guess...you were all up in arms over this guy, right? Because if you weren't you're just another right wing hypocrite.

Does anybody even use Firefox anymore?
