What was the oldest Tweet in existence for that account before the deletion?
But here's an explanation: It is easier to delete everything and then put what you want there back later than to leave that stuff out there with something on it that will make your life more difficult.
I didn't explain the tweets & deletions properly. Someone using the Badlands National Park twitter account posted several tweets mentioning the concentration of CO2 compared to pre-industrial times & increased ocean acidification without specifically saying climate change. Those tweets, and those alone have since been deleted.
I'm sure many here would like to fellate Trump and going by Melania's facial expressions on Friday, I bet she wishes you'll all hurry up so she doesn't have to any longer (or shorter?)
Maybe there was, only it wasn't news since someone the media didn't like wasn't in power. Maybe presidents, and indeed political leaders have been doing much the same thing since time immemorial.
The Dubya Bush administration was under close watch from environmentalists. There used to be a bushgreenwatch.org site. http://web.archive.org/web/200...
I believe it was the revelation of Frank Luntz's memo advising on changing the language used to address concerns about global warming,er, climate change
"Is it really surprising to anyone that with a major change of control in the US, that departments want to keep a tighter rain on anything that could look like policy statements for a while? Would seem to be pretty sensible really" Kindly explain why the tweets from Badlands National Parks' account were deleted. All tweets were scientific facts and didn't specifically mention climate change.
Shhhhhh! We need monkeys to "code" the web pages, as long as they don't know the math code monkeys get grapes, they'll be happy with their cucumber slices.
Im Irish and from what I've seen, there has been an enormous smear campaign against him especially from CNN and all the way back to Jeb Bush who tried to destroy him and fell flat on his face. There's nothing wrong with putting your country first and America's prosperity is good for Europe. My only concern is that he has establishment enemies, liberal extremelist enemies, and radical islamic fundamentalist enemies. The secret service need to be up to the task. I believe he is a good man for the most part.
Nice to know the Irish have their own deluded nutballs too.
Barring the advent of some kind of benign dictatorship, a transition to all-public-transit won't happen anytime soon
That would depend on the definition of soon but I'm not alone in noting that younger people aren't as keen about cars as my generation were in our teens & 20s.
Passenger vehicle sales in the USA have essentially flatlined since the 70s and if you adjust for the driving age population, they've fallen off a cliff.
I didn't make the graph and couldn't find one that was complete but here are 2 that you can combine if you think it'll be helpful - or change the trend
Whatever Tesla might claim, autopilot is a dumb idea.
In this instance, it literally did NOTHING to prevent a collision that should have been obvious to a driver for over 7 seconds.
Sure, it's the driver's fault for relying on it, same as if you drive "relying" on your ABS to operate instead of leaving a sensible distance.
But surely it just proves that autopilot is a load of shit and this just says that you can't even blame the manufacturer if it does nothing whatsoever.
CTFD. Autopilot is a work in progress and the newer version will, in time, be far more capable. In this particular case, the Autopilot didn't react because it couldn't distinguish the side of the truck from what could also have been a large overhead sign. It's important to note the driver also didn't react, despite having ample time. On average, Autopilot is far better than not having it but I think Musk's plans for autonomy will take longer than he thinks and the corner cases will prove to be intractable and more & better hardware will be needed for true autonomous driving. But what will be achieved with the new AP HW2.0 will be very impressive - and the competition from other automakers will be fierce
The fact that cars are something that people can own and use provides way more benefit to humans and the risk is worth it obviously, because otherwise people wouldn't drive
For a small fraction of what is spent on personal vehicle ownership, we could have pretty amazing public transportation that would satisfy the needs of nearly every city & suburb dweller. And that would naturally lead to fewer serious accidents.
Unless they become cheap enough that it can be a second or even third household vehicle
Even without the rebates, there are a few that are. Your 2nd or 3rd vehicle isn't going to be driven long range but will be perfectly fine for the little errands, dropping off the kids and getting to & from work if you're less than 40 miles away. If you're stopped in traffic, you're not wasting much energy compared to having an ICE turning over, if there are lots of EV locally, the air quality is better and with so much low-end torque, they can be a lot of fun to drive without breaking the speed limit.
I'm not worried...because I know that no matter what Trump does or doesn't do...one of you will be along to say something snarky about it.
There isn't enough time left in the life of the Universe for everyone who opposed Trump to write comments to make up for all the shite that conservatards and rightwingnuts have spewed about Obama
"i suspect that they first ask them to leave, and after that formally evict them, and inform them that they are trespassing. maybe they skip the asking nicely part; that's okay.
but if the silly gits still don't leave, well, yeah, willful trespassers are often treated poorly. this is hardly unique to casinos"
New Jersey laws prohibit casinos from harassing or barring card counters yet they do it anyway
"They don't have to cheat to make lots of money" But they go to great lengths to prevent card counters from playing or where they're prevented by law from banning them, they harass or physically threaten them
Where is the evidence for that? I just looked up what a baghouse was, and according to Wikipedia they, "came into widespread use in the late 1970s after the invention of high-temperature fabrics (for use in the filter media) capable of withstanding temperatures over 350 F." So maybe the reason coal plants were not cleaner is because the technology was not there yet.
Baghouse collection isn't the only method. Electrostatic precipitator, for example, have been around for over a century. Also it should be possible to use heat exchangers to control the temperature of the smoke destined for the baghouse so as to keep it within the correct operating temp range - and pump at least some of the captured heat back to the boilers or furnaces to improve overall efficiency. Of course, there are challenges with any approach but not insurmountable and were always worth doing giving the drastic impact of power plant pollution on air quality.

SpaceX is at a railroad right-of-way... you could tunnel under and likely be within the railroad's land rights.
I believe that's also true of the Gigafactory.
I'm sure many here would like to fellate Trump and going by Melania's facial expressions on Friday, I bet she wishes you'll all hurry up so she doesn't have to any longer (or shorter?)
You mean Trump *isn't* the balrog?
No, his hands are much too small
"Also, I was disappointed to hear that he is "digging" a tunnel"
Not "digging" - BORING as in The Boring Company, "Boring - it's what we do"

No, we'll have to wait for a millennial Lee Harvey Oswald.
Any self-respecting millennial would use a drone; running & shooting is hard enough without trying it while handling a selfie stick
Dolores Umbridge, I think.
And me without mod points. +1 to you

Surely, then, the autopilot did nothing anyway.

Of course I do. I'm not the one showing a tiny little graph with zero fucking context.
Which part of "temp anomalies vs El Nino events from 1950 - 2012" were you not able to understand?
I thought I read the US was abolishing all private prisons.
(because what you said, was correct).
That may not be as big a deal as it sounds .....http://www.mockingbirdpaper.com/content/abolishing-private-prisons-biggest-lie-economic-recovery
Don't worry alarmists, El Nino's are cyclic. A new shipment of scare is on backorder. Approx ETA ~ 2020.
Here's a graph of temp anomalies vs El Nino events from 1950 - 2012. Notice anything unusual?
He's been in custody for over 6 months and is not a minor so why keep his name a secret?

Typo - change that sig - it should read "you were molested as a foal" :)
Poor Trigger, he ended up being Rogered on TV for years.
Well played, LOL :-D
