The original intent was for the several States to be the primary provider of governance, with the Federal Government severely limited in power, and the ability to counts individual votes in a nationwide election was unimaginable in the early US. The Electors was more a representative of the states than a representative of the individual. More of a Parliamentary-ish thingy than a direct democracy; it's very easy for a Democracy to go rogue, a nine hungry cannibals thing.
Your first link merely points out that the event my link says will have an insignificant effect is slowly occurring, so I'm not sure I understand your argument. The wikipedia article talks about the same thing and the aerobic and anaerobic digesting organics and expiring CO2 and methane, so again I'm not sure I understand your argument.
What do you want us to do, look at the infographic USA CO2 emissions trending down, European Union CO2 emissions trending down, Japan's CO2 emissions trending down, Russia's CO2 emissions trending down? How about China and India CO2 emissions trending up sharply!
For sure, everybody know that magic fairies sort out the 801 Gigatons of CO2 from natural sources and puts them in a separate bin so Gaia's green goodness can digest it, but totally reject the 30 Gigatons of nasty anthropogenic CO2!
Between the UAW and Wayne/Oakland/Macomb Counties, Democrats are used to having Michigan handed to them on a Silver Platter, it didn't happen. The Unions are losing their sway over voters and Trumps mantra of Unfair trade deals really resonate. A lot of minority voters are still smarting from Kwame Kilpatrick, and the Bipartisan involvement in the Flint Water Crisis, and I believe this played a part in sensitising them to Trumps "What have you got to lose" message as well.
Yes and his transition team is starting out with a Woman, a Gay Male and an Black, an obvious display of his "Fear of minorities "! Also everybody knows Trump is really a Conservative Democrat who ran as a Republican.
It's a platform for people to share, if Facebook started filtering what is shared, they are fighting their Unique Sales Position. The part I find annoying is the "Suggested Posts" and the "People also shared", Google penalises for plagiarism and lack of timeliness, shouldn't be too difficult for Facebook to do the same. A lot of the sites I get dragged into have the same content verbatim, I guess I'm what facebook would consider Alt-Right, and a good deal of what I see looks like the Progressive-Liberal stereotypes amplified, likewise a good deal of what my Progressive friends post looks like Alt-Right stereotype of the progressives.
I think have more ads on a page than content should be a penalty as well, especially if the ads cause popups and double penalties if the ads go to a "Mircosoft Driver Update" page or a dingit.tv ad.
It was big deal because of the severity of the occurrence, not the size of it. The offense was at the First-line supervisor's level in origin, Second liner Supervisors for not properly Supervising the FLSs.
The NHSmail service runs on Microsoft Exchange. A statement on its service status page said:
An issue with a distribution list has meant that several test emails have been widely received by users. This has been exacerbated by recipients replying in response and increasing the volume of emails associated with the list. The impact of this issue has meant that some users are unable to access OWA due to the volume of emails being circulated. The distribution list has been removed and associated emails are being traced and cleared.
R, whose signature block lists them as a senior associate ICT delivery facilitator at South East CSU, had understandably turned their mobile phone off by the time El Reg phoned to ask if they had realised the error.
It was an email that was blank except for test in the subject line sent to a subscription list called CroydonPractices, which is probably for Doctors at Croydon Health Services of Croydon University Hospital.
an erroneous response rate of 1:1000. I suspect if more of the recipients were readers of the BOFH hosted at El Reg; the results would have brought the British Healthcare system down for months!
Can someone explain why people would ever react like this? If the company that pays your salary puts you in a internal mailing list, why would anyone assume that it was OK to ask to be taken out of it?
The sender, whom The Register will identify only as R, sent the blank message with a subject line that simply read "test" to a distribution list called CroydonPractices, according to irritated health service workers who contacted us.
The message somehow found its way to all NHS.net email addresses – and was immediately magnified by thoughtless people hitting "reply" to point out the error and demand they be removed.... Correction - NHS Direct has been in touch to clarify that of their 1.2 million staffers, 850k are email address-havers. That's much better, right?NHS IT bod sends test email to 850k users – and then responses are sent 'reply all'
I would think if you are in the General Dentistry Dept., you would find that the mailing list for Haematological Oncologists had a really small signal to noise ratio, and an unsubscribe would be in order.
We're talking about the *net CO2 increase*. Human activity is responsible for more than 100% of that.
For sure, everybody know that magic fairies sort out the 801 Gigatons of CO2 from natural sources and puts them in a separate bin so Gaia's green goodness can digest it, but totally reject the 30 Gigatons of nasty anthropogenic CO2!
AC Said "I've read one estimate where the global, yearly CO2 generation is 800Gt (Giga tons). Human actions account to 30Gt (~4 % )." you replied
Whoever gave you that number was lying through their teeth.
30/ (439 + 332 +30) = 0.037~, OBTW (439 + 332 +30) is 801 ; so round-off error is hardly "lying through their teeth", the numbers that SkepticalScience used are from Figure 7.3, IPCC AR4. Most of us irredeemable deplorable climate deniers consider SkepticalScience to be a pack of rabid Climate Alarmists, it's kind of apropos that they blow your argument out of the water.
The WMD not only did exist, their presence was covered up possibly due to concerns over the public reaction over how much should have been there verses how little was found and possibly due to expected public reaction over people realising "Gulf War Syndrome" was caused by low level exposure to chemical agents.

I still have trouble with the notion that the DNC was actually hacked, my gut still says it was an insider pissed off about Bernie getting screwed over. That stuff is much more likely an insider than an outsider.
Well she was counting on the Union vote, but forgot all the good Union jobs went to Mexico, and all of the Retirees saw it didn't matter how good the Union contract was when the company went bankrupt, so they were just getting strung along until the next election. As they say "Atlas Shrugged"
Misinformation in close elections can be decisive, which is why people do it.
But nobody though the election was going to be close, at least nobody I saw. The Talking heads on TV were going along with the Clinton by a landslide and the alt-right echo-chamber were Trump by a landslide.
DNC wanted a "Pied Piper" candidate to run against and got him, unfortunately the moral of the "Pied Piper" story wasn't as much he led the rats as it was he had to be paid; the cost was finding a candidate that wasn't up to her eyeballs in corruption and an elitist asshole spotting memorized talking points.
I never heard of a voting machine changing a vote for Trump to Clinton, but I heard of several instances of votes for Trump getting changed to Clinton. Theoretically just a few vote can make a big difference, but looking at the result it didn't seem like the errors made much difference in the real world.

Not as much as you would think, the westinghouse AP1000 is eligable for Combined Construction and Operating License which means no changes can be made to the design of a plant.
Dude Methane feedback is so 2000, even the RealClimate.org echo-chamber debunks your position. Do try to keep up.

1 I must of missed that one and 2 Trump is only going to be the Commander in Chief, he can't force anyone to follow an illegal order.
That's what I've seen as well the LGBT community is have an mass anxiety attack, waiting for some Trumpian Gestapo to come and kick down their doors.
