Early on the Vice President job went to the Presidential candidate with the second most votes. Sadly, the Founders seem to have envisioned a political system with no parties, but they surfaced nonetheless. Having a President and a Vice President from different parties caused too many problems though so the system was changed. We're actually in our fifth party system, the current one starting in the 30s under the New Deal.
Congress is made up of multiple parties, but voters here in the US tend to think there are only two. There are two independents in the Senate, none in the House, and currently no other parties represented. However, the Green Party, Constitutional Party, and Libertarian Party have substantial followings.
All that to say correct that we're not a coalition. Voters seem to make sure of that every election.
Blast furnace may be used some of the time, but often it's a simple bonfire. Cheaper for sure. Less safe for those tending it as well, but a budget is a budget.
No I'm not a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. But thank you for the demeaning comment.
I am a global warming denyist though, but you worded that with what appears to be spefic intent. I understand climate change and that the real argument is how much impact people actually have on the change. I believe we do have an impact, but also that long before man climate changed as well.
My attempt was to show that there is more to the story. Again, George Burns lived to 100, while my neighbor as a child who never smoked died of lung cancer. That there's no hard evidence proving the link allows for conjecture from the other side in attempt to alleviate the assumption that there is a link after all.
And what I did say was that it's probably a good guess, but a guess at that. No lab tests ever proved the theory. We're not talking about something that happened billions of years ago, we're talking about something that is happening right now.
Of note: this will be my last response to you. I generally don't respond to people who like to discredit others with assumptions of ludicrous behavior (conspiracy theorist) however sugarcoated with "I don't mean to be" insults.
There isn't a single piece of hard evidence that the two are linked. Again, very qualified opinions by doctors who have studied the issue lead to the belief, and it's probably true.
However, second hand smoke is a different story altogether.
This article from Medical News Today says it's a widely accepted notion and goes on to say more research is needed.
This article from Cancer.org says there is strong evidence that the two are linked, and that more research is needed. In 2006 the UK Scientific Community on Tobacco and Health issued a report describing "a tentative link between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) and lung cancer."
Of course there are no real scientific studies to show why people who have never been exposed sometimes die of lung cancer, but George Burns lived to 100 and died from fluid buildup in his skull from a fall in the bathtub.
So to sum up, invitation preemptively accepted, although it appears I'm the only one in this conversation who actually has done any research.
Yeah, I look forward to the "this site is compliant with some of HTML standards and not others because they're too new. We can't really define that for you because there is no version, so best of luck to you" badges.
They both allow for those who overuse to take measures to make up for it. That means they both really allow people to ignore the fact that they're being destructive.
The differences are:
One is voluntary while the other is forced by law.
One is feelgood stuff while the other means the companies will pass on the additional costs to their customers.

Did you miss this earlier today?
I'm kind of like you, only I "know" beforehand which engine I want to use.
The reality of it all is Google is not the optimal search engine.... nobody's search engine is.
Screw that. What happens when IPv6 really comes into play? That'll be a fun little memorization game.
She sounds like James Earl Jones now. The good news is she also sounded like him before.
Ahh, but google web has lots of informational pages about them, rather than where to buy them.
I get what they are. However, it looks as though nobody is selling an actual version of it, just 5 pt torx screwdrivers instead.

That's a little odd, and a bit of a misrepresentation. If people could get what they wanted at any price, everything would be free.
The free market says the market determines the price based on availability and consumer demand.
I admire your faith in humanity.
I wouldn't think that a company would do it for humanity's sake. Rather, because there's profit to be made.
p.s I watch movies on my phone. I also carry a spare battery.
That's a 5 point torx, not a pentalobular.
I have similar experiences with my iPhone (I trade in and out with an Android and a BB for development).
All in all it's a nice device, but the whole "it just works" thing is purely marketing.
My google != your google

I got one kit from, you guessed it, iFixit. For $10.

Well, I guess I inferred since you only mentioned GOP.
However, I agree with you on plutocracy, except I think we're already there.
I don't mean to be too insulting
Always means you are about to be insulting.

I do! I do!
It was fictional to me until Playboy visited.
This is the internet where the honor system reigns supreme!
I kind of like it here in the tubes, and I think I'll stay a while.
And this is a classic example of having two replies open and responding in the wrong textbox.
I either need way more or way less Monster right now.
It's still ok. I'll mail him a money order. Unfortunately it's for a higher amount, but he can just deposit it then send me the difference.
All will be well.
Right. And in order to comply with the standards, companies will have to spend money on infrastructure (generally a good thing).
And how does the company "make money" by not spewing CO2? By selling the leftover credits to companies who went over the limit.
and punishing companies that don't.
Which is really passing the costs along to customers.
I already have, have you?

Ignoring that, how about his multiple large houses and their enormous electricity bills?

Do we want him spending half is day rubbing shoulders with the public because of the negligible carbon footprint difference from his plane ride?
I don't know about you, but people who say "do as I say, not as I do" can get bent IMHO.
Not really.
