    This is a whole other issue. And no. Communications with loved ones, esp on first conviction, can turn ppl.

  2. Look, the prison has a responsibility to prevent just this situation. Let them kill the signals.

    Seriously, we need to drop all of these idiotic private companies doing clearance duty. We are getting far too many ppl that do not belong.

    Yeah, oil had nothing at all to do with Iraq.
    I note that Mueller report has not been released. If innocent, then why not release the report? Why did so many ppl lie? The report did NOT clear him.
    the intelligence world continues to not trust our president/VP/admin,

    As to not trusting the media, that was Hitler and his 25 points that pushed that.

    It is not western gov that concern me. It is fascism such as this. When a gov works with businesses to destroying ppl, then you have issues. Look at how Russia and China have destroyed a number of ppl.

  9. Don't kid yourself on Does India's Anti-Satellite Missile Test Mean The Weaponization of Space? (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    US and Russia held back for decades due to treaties. But when china really got into space & was not bound by the treaty, well, all 3 almost certainly have weapons up there.

  10. Seriously, these are cheap systems. Fit them out and then embed them in thermal conducting, non-electrical conducting epoxy. 10 years ago, I would embed small systems in it and it works great.

  11. Looks like US intel world is sharing with our allies. Long past time to show the many backdoor that Chinese companies are leaving in.

  12. According to rhodium's us report, CO2 from coal went down. In fact, co2 from our cars went down as well, in spite of moving some new sales to trucks/SUV. CO2 from electricity sourced by nat. Gas is what went up the most. The other was semis and jet aircrafts due to our economy booming. But coal plants are not threatened by renewables. They continue to be threatened by nat gas and wind. Solar is not making a dent yet. Right now, the GOP is working on rewriting regs/subsidies dealing with nuclear power. Hopefully, this will make inroads.

  13. Nope. It needs Woodrow Wilsons and Salmon P. Chases. Though Andrew Jacksons would work.

    Lots of good reasons to be there. Esp now that it is cheap enough thanx to Musk and shortly, Bezos.

  15. Not just shelby. He could not accomplish this without lots of help. Most of it is from GOP, but they are not the only ones. Plenty of dems back SLS/Orion.

  16. Have to get ALL costs down low on Mike Pence Tells NASA To Accelerate Human Missions To the Moon 'By Any Means Necessary' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Elon Musk, SpaceX, along with funding/help from NASA COTS, NASA CCXDev, and DoD/Intel World have created the lowest cost launch system. The F9/FH is good enough to get us into LEO,and to send small cargos to the moon.
    However, we need space stations, lunar stations, multiple landing capabilities, etc. And these have to be inexpensive as well.
    TO make this happen, we need NASA to help companies like Axiom along with Bigelow. But simply getting them up there, will not make them inexpensive. They need multiple customers in them. That means letting other nations make use of this private railroad. The Middle East. Northern Europe. Brazil. India. South Korea. Etc. We should allow them to train/experiment on this system, while we get to the moon.
    NASA/Trump/CONgress can make this happen.

  17. amazing that ISP do not get smart on Music Labels Sue Charter, Complain That High Internet Speeds Fuel Piracy (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Simple to solve:
    1) ISP need to counter-sue companies like Sony, etc. They are causing issues that are not there.
    2) Smart ISPs would split off services from physical hardware. They were better off having loads of companies that delivered services. The more services the harder it is for the labels.

    Trumpism is nothing more than reaganonics. HORRIBLE economics. Spending is fine as long as the taxes equal it. Cutting taxes is fine as well, as long as spending is cut. We simply can not afford to keep going into debt.

    Hickenlooper would push a balanced budget, but I wish that he and others, in particular bloomberg, would consider starting a new 3rd party of social moderates/liberals, but strong fiscal conservatives. IOW, what Kennedy, IKE, etc were.

    As to Dems, namely hillary, supposedly backing professional class, they really did not. The fact that hillary told a business group that she was going to jump H1B from 50K to 500K shows what a damn idiot she was. I am not a dem (or a fan esp of Sanderss), but what ppl like Schultz did was just as criminal as the GOP. Sad.

    You think that Trump is Lucky?
    Good example of NOT luck, is his 'winning' presidency. He did not win it. You dems ran a HORRIBLE candidate. Nearly, 45% of the population checked off Trump, yet, right after the election, his popularity was already lower than what he won with. IOW, a number of ppl that voted for him, really did not like him. They just hated Hillary more. That is just plain STUPIDITY on the dems part for pushing political correctness over who is the best choice.
    Right now, you dems are pushing women, with nearly all being far left extremists that do not care about fiscal issues. Anybody that is backing the GND is just plain idiots. We need to improve our nation, but the many idiots over in the dems are making it easy for the GOP to have ppl like reagan, W, and Trump in office. A bunch of crooks. Not luck.

    Embracing the industry is one thing. Running it to an extreme is foolish. The fact that you took 1 sentence out of context shows what a lying POS you are.

  22. It is crazy. We have serious issues with AMRs. Nearly all of the current antibiotics were developed by the gov and reagan and now trump cut the funding on the R&D. If we are going to be using up our antibiotics on Ag, then we had better make sure to really push vaccines. Otherwise, I expect a lot of deaths in the near future.

    Right now, China is the world’s largest consumer of agricultural antibiotics, out-dosing even the US by eight tonnes to every one. A 2013 study by the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that 162,000 tons of antibiotics are consumed in China each year, with 52% going to animal husbandry. In the US, 70% of antibiotics amounting to 10,000 tons are consumed by livestock each year.
    As that shows, China is using around 80,000 TONS of antibiotics for humans and another 82,000 TONS for animals.
    OTOH, America uses around 14,000 tons of antibiotics, of which around 10,000 tons is used on farms. America uses 1/8 of the anti-biotics on Ag that China uses, even though we grow slightly just less than China does (America exports a lot of Ag). And when it comes to human use, we are doing 5% of what China uses, even though America is 20% of the population size of China.

    So, here is another lie racked up by Caffeinated Bacon(Crimson Tsunami).
    When do you stop?

  24. China has been dumping antibiotics all over the place. Drug resistance is a serious problem there (worse, those bacteria are spreading).
    Now, America is going to join that insanity?
    Trump is just insane, and he is pushing ppl who have absolutely NO science background into horrible places.
