  1. Re:Not according to satellites on The Top Weather/Climate Events of 2015 (wunderground.com) · · Score: 1

    and the reason satellites show the hiatus?
    because they aren't capable of showing subsurface ocean temperatures, aka the place storing all that 'missing' energy.

    its now 2016.
    this line of BS has been known for the last few years.
    you really need to get some new material.

    case in point, this just happened: http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/08/...
    Officer shot with a stolen gun.

    Happens fairly often too, stolen guns being used in a crime.
    After all, as the gun lobby likes to remind us, "gun control doesn't work because criminals will just steal them or something".

    But stolen smart guns are just useless lumps of metal without the token.

    people SHOULD secure their firearms.

    sadly multiple studies into this area show that roughly 66% of all gun owners leave their firearms unsecured, and roughly 50% leave them loaded.

    I bet if you ask, most of those folks consider themselves "responsible gun owners".

    and the NRA and its cronies routinely fight any legislation to bar such irresponsible practices.

  14. Re:Don't speak for 'all of europe' on Uber In Retreat Across Europe · · Score: 3, Insightful

    uber isn't trying to shake the tree.
    uber doesn't even want to change the tree.
    uber wants to ignore the tree while everyone else is still forced to pay attention to it.
    that is the entirety of their plan, and the source of their profitability.

    if the tree actually got changed, and ubers advantage disappeared because the field was leveled, uber would be unhappy.

    because to conservatives the word 'democracy', much like 'compromise', means 'I get my way all the time'.
    they refuse to acknowledge that either word by definition involves and includes other people with a different opinion, and that they might not get what they want.
