  1. Re:And I thought Obamacare FIXED healthcare?!?!? on In These Eight Midterms Races, Health and Medicine Are Front and Center (statnews.com) · · Score: 0

    Obamacare is insurance, not healthcare. Very expensive insurance that does not pay. A 30 year old healthy person here will pay slightly over $300 per month for a plan that has a $7000 deductible. So figure that out will you? That is $10k out of pocket before you get "helped". You can also keep your doctor, right, since Obama said that too. He basically double the cost, great job eh?

  2. "Foxconn said it would create 13,000 jobs and invest $10 billion. (The state subsidy came out to $230,000 per job.)" That is over ten years. Please at least TRY to not put so much fucking spin on things. Yunno, you can easily google the actual agreement. The subsidies are phased in and directly related to the number of jobs created. You must be a democrat, right?

  3. The study said warming oceans are releasing CO2. Kinda verifies that CO2 follows temperature, right? Maybe you could clue us all in on exactly what caused all the temperature excursions seen throughout the Holocene? Do you think the earth should be in some kind of stasis? Be glad it is warmer (0.5C in 70 years), your only other possibility is the next ice age.

  4. Kevin and his missing heat back again? Please.

  5. The IPCC? You mean the guys caught lying and manufacturing models to fit the hockey stick narrative? Do you even know who Michael Mann is? Care to guess how much this so called climate hysteria has contributed to his program at Penn State? ($10 mil +) Do you get out much? What's next, you going to trot out the study that Cook made that said 97% of the scientists blah blah blah? Fucking IPCC, ffs man. Hillary won by 80%, yunno I read that somewhere too...

  6. Please..... on Wisconsin's $4.1 Billion Foxconn Boondoggle (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    https://wisconnvalley.wi.gov/D... The tax credits are tied directly to number of jobs and the value of capital investments. All the credits can be taken back by 2022 in there is non performance.

  7. A slight rise in temperature isn't real enough. ==========0.5 deg C in 50 years? A slight increase in storm severity isn't enough. ========== finally ended an 11 year run of NO majors storms hitting the USA? The loss of one or two major breadbasket regions isn't enough. Food production will just shift around. Which? Studies show major greening happening, not dustbowls? Anything that happens in a poor country isn't enough, including starvation. Poor people simply don't count to those in power. More people have starved by the by banning of coal fired power production than any weather related cause? Any effect that is limited to the coasts isn't enough. People will just move. At 2.7mm per year, they will have plenty of time, right? Any extinctions short of full ecological collapse isn't enough. Most people don't care about critters beyond eating them. You mean like the extinctions that have been happening for millions of years? Should we have saved the dinosaurs? Anything that is limited to the arctic isn't enough. Nobody lives there. Kinda like the Antarctica, where they is MORE ice year after year? Mass migrations from poor countries won't be enough. Rich countries will just put up barriers and allow populations to die. How many "refugees" are you willing to house and support yourself?

    We are in an interglacial, it is supposed to be warming. How many times over the Holocene have we seen this same or more warming?

  12. The se asia tsunami in 2004 killed 230,000 and sucked their debris into the ocean. The 2011 Japan tsunami wiped entire towns off the map. If your island is in the Pacific ocean debris flow channel, you are going to see ALL the garbage. Still bad, but it aint all from losers throwing their plastic water bottles off a bridge...

  13. https://bobtisdale.files.wordp... https://bobtisdale.wordpress.c... There are "adjustments" to the "data" everytime a temp measurement site is moved or replaced. The effect is to lower the past measurement date to make "things match up". Sounds like you are not really into actual research, just listening to CNN.

  14. The new global warming... on Microplastics Found In 90 Percent of Table Salt (nationalgeographic.com) · · Score: 0

    Since climate change is getting rather long in the tooth to spur protest, microplastics (note, not just "plastic") is a new battle cry. 99.9999 percent pure has got to be better than 99.96% of your air is not CO2, right?

    This a thousand time. Before the internet you had to do this face to face on the playground and if you were an asshole, someone punched you in the face. This was a very effective teaching aide.

  25. using her degree in public policy on The New Yorker on Linus Torvalds (newyorker.com) · · Score: 0

    "Everyone in tech knows about it, but Linus gets a pass," Megan Squire, a computer-science professor at Elon University, told me, referring to Torvalds's abusive behavior. "He's built up this cult of personality, this cult of importance." Megan, your code must suck. You are not special. So you think all the guys that have worked with Linus get a pass because they are men? Jees, you want to be included, but yet if you don't get the ball immediately, you go home. That is weakness. If you need to get coddled at work, it is harder to work with you, you make negative comments, you tend to sue a lot, and embarrass your employers. That would be the definition of an asshole....
