Didn't Japan have civilians producing war materials in their houses by the end of the war? Of course, that was be ause we had bombed most of the factories, but still.....
I actually did see kangaroo while I was in Vienna. However it was sandwiches between two slices of bread in a pub. They also served ostrich and alligator.
Were you equally grossed out by the Elf/human relationships in Lotr? Or elf/dwarf in the Hobbit? John C Reillys character in Guardians of the Galaxy (pink wife)? Kirk sleeping with anything female in the Star Trek remakes? Several relationships in The Orville? These "gross" relationships have been on the screen in very popular films and tv, for years already.
I fail to see what is silly about it. The primary goal of the DoD is to protect the country. The primary duty of State is to protect and advocate for American positions and citizens abroad. For Interior, protect our natural resources. IRS, endure we have the income to operate as a government. These are all primary goals. Doing so in a financially efficient way is an expectation put upon them. But in any case, an EPA with lax or removed policies will only increase costs to taxpayers in the long term when the inevitable mess has to be cleaned up and we have to pay for it.
You're right, but in regards to number 3, I would argue that a government agency has a duty and obligation to make informed policy decisions. Granted though that many are not and have not for some time, but that is the ideal that should be strived for.
The “consensus view” on global warming being manmade is based on a flawed study of the papers at a climate conference where the famed 97% figure arose. But the actual authors of the papers used to generate this statistic say the study is in error, because their paper was misinterpreted, they didn’t conclude there was global warming, they said global warming was occurring but it wasn’t manmade, they said global warming was occurring but it was a normal fluctuation, they said global warming was occurring but the effects would not me drastic, or global warming was occurring but it would be potentially beneficial. So, consensus is not at all been achieved.
So it should be simple then for Pruitt to provide follow-up studies proving flawed methodology or data with the original research and providing evidence that climate change is a completely natural occurrence with minimal human influence. That's all the court is asking for. I'll just leave my car running since I'm sure it won't take too long.
Does not Agree does not necessarily require more scientific studies.
It does when you are the head of a purported scientific agency and have been using Does not Agree as the basis for rolling back policies and programs that have been backed by scientific studies. He doesn't agree that humans contribute to global warming? Fine. Show us the the studies that led him to that belief. It's the Environmental Protection Agency. Their default action should always be "what protects the environment".
Political hack organization trying to pin down a politician. Nothing to see here.
Proper science never has just one side. There is tons of evidence Man/Humankind/CO2 is not the primary cause of changing climate.
As I learned in grammer school, Ocean currents play a pivotal role is weather. Ocean currents have changed. Ocean currents are not generally been part of the climate models... sigh this is not the place to debate science anymore.

Judging by your last paragraph, I would take anything you learned in your "grammer" school with a grain of salt......
Because people stopped reading all the EU books because they had inter-species romantic relationships? In the Wraith Squadron series "Face" ended up marrying a Twi'leki. Pansexualty is not a new concept in Star Wars
FB know that they are the primary propaganda method for Russia to influence American politics. Posting some aggressive Alt-right ads while also posting some pro SJW/BLM message is genius. The Russian continue to divide Americans for their own gain and FB gets rich while America and it's western Allies lose.
And we all sit by and let it happen...
If Russia wants to blow up the US even more than they already have, a good troll would be to give Zuckerberg the current equivalent of "Hero of the Soviet Union" for furthering Russia's goals in the 2016 election. They're already going to lose Facebook as an influence vector-with the changes Facebook is doing it will be nowhere near as effective at best-so might as well get out of it what they can. The furor in the media(both mainstream and alt-right) alone would be worth it for Russia, and it might even damage Facebook enough to hurt the US economy.
Japan's miscalculation was on the US's willingness to fight (which I will concede was partly predicated on our pacifism up to that point), their own fighting ability, and, most importantly, the evolution of naval warfare(which Pearl Harbor accelerated).
The primary cause of WWII was WWI and the desire of certain members of the Entente to exact revenge on certain members of the Central Powers. If they hadnt been dead set on crippling Germany Hitler would never have had the support base he did. And Japan just got greedy and miscalculated. They had most of the western Pacific bottled up until the poked the US at Pearl Harbor.

So, conversely, does that mean you agree that Budweiser, which is owned by InBev, a European company, can sell alcohol to 18 year olds in America?
I went to Austria during the winter almost 10 years ago. I don't know how the kangaroos can handle that cold year after year

Any scientific organizational leader that doesn't make policy based on scientific research is incompetent.

Han Solo would probably approve of people tormenting the Solo movie anyway, he being a smuggler and pirate afterall.

Personally, I think the actor playing the girl stole the show in the True Grit remake even though Bridges made a great Cogburn.
I think that's called "Fallout". Of course, in real life a Mr.Handy would be used for something entirely different......
Single action revolver? An automatic pistol? Both exist. Also, semiautomatic usually denotes a magazine fed pistol as opposed to a revolver.
If we treated house fires they eat some people seem to want to treat school shootings firemen would be showing up with flamethrower instead of hoses
No. A couple months ago here an Uber eats driver shot the person he was delivering food to
It's hard to think of any way in which Facebook being damaged would hurt the US economy...
Just the sheer size of it and it's market valuation. Any time a company of that size loses value it creates a ripple effect.
I'd like a company to apologize for being short sighted and cheaping out on security for short term financial gains.
Not that it will ever happen.
Wouldn't admitting fault like that set them up for easy litigation?
