Does anyone proof this stuff? Do the motors drive the gas turbines or vice versa.... and it is COLOMBIA the country. Columbia is 100 miles inland in the middle of South Carolina. SMH
If CA seceeds, and Apple is in CA, how on earth will I get my next Iphone? It'll have to be imported from another country!! Oh wait, Apple's product was made in China and their corporate headquarters were in Ireland when I got my last Iphone. Never mind.
The cynic in me says you are right.... I could care less about some things such as Kanye West, but because they can't filter on race, they advertiser will have to pay for my page view.
1)make a rule where you can't filter by race 2)tell marketers they have to pay for useless renderings of their content.... 4)PROFIT!!
Wish I had mod points today for this one..... preferential voting / STV, whatever you call it would be awesome. It would allow 3rd and 4th parties to slip in and flip the duopoly we presently endure in the USA.
Something I do get a kick out of is when people say that some random 3rd party under cut their candidate du jour. They assume that 100% of the third party voters would have voted for their candidate. This isn't true. Take the libertarian party... they want smaller government (attractive to republican voters) and legalization of many drugs (attractive to democrat voters). So I don't really think the 3rd party "spoiler effect" has much validity. The bigger problem is when the top two parties morph so much that they loose their base voters. As an example black people generally vote democrat, but the democrat party lately has started courting gay demographics. This has a negative affect on the black voters who then feel alienated from the party they once supported they stay home or vote 3rd party.
Lincoln did not accept the secession declaration as the will of the people because the congressmen from the southern states said they were leaving the union. Pretty flimsy argument because we/are/ governed by representatives who speak/for/ the citizens. But alas, that only works when they want it to. The North went on to institute a draft and an income tax to pay for the war. With the exception of a few skirmishes outside of the southern states, the south did not seek to attack or invade the north. There's a reason we call it the "War of Northern Aggression". Even in Charleston SC Fort Sumter was provisioned with food after secession. It was only when the ship Western Star attempted to resupply arms to Fort Sumter that the SC Militia fired on them. But what do I know?
On balance I was very disappointed to read the confederate constitution and find that it actually forbade every abolishing slavery.
What did the black lives matter group hope to accomplish by blocking the freeways? All they did was anger regular citizens who may well have been on their side. They should have picketed city hall, the police stations, state capitals and so on..... as it stands neither the anti-trump protesters nor BLM seem to have direction or think things through very well.
It strikes me that at approximately every 120 degrees around the earth we have a huge desert. The American SW, Australia and northern Africa. Wouldn't it be great if we could put a metric shitton of photovoltaics in those three locations and tie it all together with a HVDC distribution system? Think of all the people we could employ to keep them wiped clean! And the sun would always be shining on one or two of the locations.
Renault can't possibly make an electric car.... they can't figure out how to make it burn oil! Full disclosure: in the mid-1990's a german friend had a Renault Espace van. It burned so much oil that it had a oil level gauge on the dash that worked only for a moment while the glow plugs were on. You literally had to check the oil every time you cranked it up.
In Savannah GA 16 years ago there was a "dinner and movie" type theater. Casual seating. They served beer and light food like nachos, burgers and wings. The wait staff would walk around in the dim room keeping your beer full. Great concept! I first saw the Matix there. I wish more theaters would do this.
You know what gets old? sitting thru 20 minutes of previews and/commercials/. Really. I paid my $12 for the movie already, do I have to watch commercials as well???? And thye wonder why people just aren't going to the movies any longer?
Having that email server was absolutely for the purpose of concealing her communications. WHOIS says the domain name was registered 7 days before she was appointed to Sec of State.
Nope, they needed the cubic mm inside the case for.... well.... a 3rd camera? Really? I smell a rat. This was to make the headphone connector proprietary and allow them yet another shot at licensing dongles.
What is amazing to me is that they *can* use the stingray device on an entire city, but they don't seem to be able to use them around JAILS. You know jails where the inmates aren't supposed to have cell phones but do... and the DoC files for an exception from the FCC and is told they can't install cell phone jammers. Meanwhile the inmates arrange for hits against guards they don't like. http://www.wistv.com/story/131...
Every article I see about electric cars wants to have a drop in replacement for my SUV. What we need is a classification of vehicles that allows lighter cars limited to 50kph. No air bags, no backup cameras, just enough to get me to/from work.
Additionally the states could encourage the use of smaller vehicles if they'd allow us to license and tag our cars as a two'fer. Given the choice of a small car that I can't take on a vacation with the kids and a SUV, I'm going to pick the SUV. But if you allow me to license the SUV and add the economy car for an additional $25, I'll buy the econobox to drive to work and keep the SUV at home until I need it. The present laws tend to push us to a one size fits all solution. So fix it so I am encouraged to do the right thing.
The FBI says they're only using the planes to track specific suspects in serious crime investigations.... then why are the registered to fake companies under fake names?
Instigating a fight..... Ohh... like how the police knock you down when arresting you and when you flinch to catch your fall, they call it resisting arrest? Not all buttholes in blue do this, but enough do.
The police are taught that anyone inside a 21 foot radius is a threat. 21 feet is considered to be the distance a man can run to you before you can draw your weapon. Knives are quite deadly, and a knife to a gun fight could be considered a battle of attrition.
How about a policy which says if you pick a short password you have to change it every XX days. If you pick a 12 character complex passcode, you get to keep it for 3 years?
First they came after the people using 100Gigs, I said nothing because I didn't use 100Gigs. Then they came after the people using 50Gigs and I said nothing because I didn't use 50Gigs. When they came for me there was no one left to speak for me.
All party members were expected to purchase the telescreen device and never switch it off so the party could monitor them. The telescreen could be dimmed but never turned off.
I wore a VR headset at a trade show once (Dayton Hamvention) that showed NTSC quality video on two translucent displays. You could snap a cover on to block out the view of "reality".... so what the heck are they patenting??????
I've thought about sending serialized coded messages by flashing the brake lights. The serial data would be so fast that the human eye would just see a brake light, while a sensor in front of your car would see the coded message from the other car's LED tail lights..... think 40khz modulated LEDs.
Or they could do what my wife's Honda Civic does... require you to tug on the steering wheel every 15 seconds. It will steer the car for 15 seconds at a time and then beeps and stops steering. A sort of dead man switch. I can see Tesla adding this "feature" at the behest of the insurance companies.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there talk of Northern CA splitting away from SOCAL? So perhaps SOCAL should succeed?
