This isn't really a CO2 capture system because it does nothing to actually capture CO2. Instead, this is a use for captured CO2: batteries. This is a good thing because we need to start pulling billions of tons of the stuff out of the sky.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they are not a source of reliable information.
Ancient Climate Change Caused Mass Extinction Less Severe Than Projected Future
If we don't do take action soon then in a billion years some creature may be digging up fossils trying to figure out what caused our present mass extinction event.
I didn't include UFOs specifically because that phenomenon qualifies as "an observation which isn't fully understood". It may not turn out to be little green men, but trying to figure out something you've observed and don't have an answer for is what expanding scientific knowledge is all about.
Sure reads like you are admitting you made an argument in bad faith.
Many of the past innovations were based on observations which weren't properly understood. [...] We saw birds flying, we didn't understand the mechanics of flight.
There have been enough weird recorded UFO sightings by military personnel/instruments to fit this criteria.
When you are working on the cutting-edge of scientific theory, it's all crazy stuff. This was merely research into the topics in hope of gaining some insight in the possibility. Communication without wires or sound used to be a fantasy but today most carry devices that utilize it constantly.
Won't be 100% effective, but it'll probably do a decent job.
Yeah, I've already made that argument that it's currently not 100% effective but it's doing a decent job and you started yelling about how it's not zero.
Physical limitations are unnecessary if you simply make getting a job in US extremely difficult without a valid ID or visa. Won't be 100% effective, but it'll do a great job.
Well, for one thing the "wall" won't be 3 fucking strands of barbed wire..
How about in your area, it's a full fence, right? How will anything change if it's a "wall" (aka another feckless fence)?
I know of several places where there isn't even the wire... Just open air..
Yes, some parts of the border fence aren't built out yet. Do you think 2000 miles of wall will magically be built overnight? Though, I've read they will have the same "open air" area so it's not going to be all 2000 miles.
The wall slows the people down at the very least.. You either have to climb over it or tunnel under it.. Neither is as fast as simply running past it. This gives CBP time to react.
HA! What, they'll be there in an hour? Yeah, really useful.
And yet for all the effort of building this wall (second fence), it would still be ineffective. Why don't you realize that physical limitations unnecessary if you simply make getting a job in US extremely difficult without a valid ID or visa? Why don't you realize that isn't what your politicians actually want? Why don't you realize that's not what people like you want because they fail to see how it would impact them?
Don't get me wrong, I'll all for letting fools destroy their own livelihoods but I don't want to pay to make it happen when a simple change would make it more pointless than it already is.
You are projecting your own biases upon me and finding subtext where there is none.
Of course, you are free to link to any comment you've made in the past about why Americans promote American technology to show that you "simply stated why".
The US doesn't have similar program or policy nor does it practice statism therefore I cannot point out such a thing as it does not exist.
Which of course, introduces the question, why use a 5g connection
Because promoting 5G is clearly part of their China 2025 initiative (the goal being to make China self-reliant and a technology exporter). China owns a significant number of patents regarding 5G which is why they are promoting it. Use 5G, pay China. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/0...
I'm not going to spoon feed you polling information. You can do the same thing I did and do as simple internet search.
I CAN SEE THE ILLEGALS WITH MY OWN EYES. THERE ARE LOTS OF THEM SNEAKING IN.
What is a border "wall" (who the fuck knows what it would be) going to do that the border fence isn't doing? Do you think it's going to magically keep all the illegal immigrants out?
Wouldn't it be more effective just to make corporation legally responsible for validating immigration status? Have you considered why Republicans haven't passed legislation for that despite it being brought up several times? The simple answer is that they want the cheap labor and to keep you chasing your tail by never actually solving the problem. The more they can exploit wedge issues, the more idiots like you will vote for them.
Fuck your polls..
And that sir, is what is called willful ignorance.
In what way is a border wall infringing on our freedoms?
You missed this part: "Low does not equal zero." and my response that "Perfect is the enemy of good." because a border wall would not stop 100% of illegal immigrants which is what he implied. The only way to actually get to zero would require sacrificing freedoms.
Low does not equal zero. We're seeing plenty of them here in San Diego County.
Perfect is the enemy of good. There is also low crime but it doesn't mean there is zero crime? Should we do away with our person freedoms until we route out the remaining criminals?
You say there are no illegals, I see them with my own eyes. It's not a straw man.
Sounds like you don't understand what a straw man argument is.
I don't know what polls you are reading
Then you clearly haven't looked at any polling data for border states.
or how accurate they are (I'm gonna assume you didn't vet them) so I'm going to dismiss your appeal to authority out of hand.
Actually, the polls were conducted by various companies that poll the public regularly on issues. They have gained a reputation for accurate polling. I looked at the questions posed they were no leading. You dismissing polls the just saying you don't agree with them so it doesn't matter.
I can conduct a poll too. It's called speaking to my neighbors. Some oppose the wall and a some favor it. I don't know the ratio, but It's certainly pro-wall.
It's not really a poll if you can't get actual numbers and it's not representative of anything other than your street. Sorry amigo, that's a double fail.

Oh and yes, it includes Systemd.
That's not saying much because we currently lack the technology to live on Mars. It's a goal but we're not there yet.

I looked up who this guy was and oh boy.
Scientists published climate research under fake names. Then they were caught.
Excerpt about the paper.
The withdrawn study “is just a curve-fitting exercise of five data points using four free parameters and as many functional forms as they could think of,” Schmidt, an expert in atmospheric climate modeling, said in an email. Like the previous pseudonymous research, “it too has nothing fundamental to add.”

Obviously; why else would it have been handled in such a routine and above-board fashion?? ;) /sarc
Uhh... it actually was routine and above-board. If it wasn't both of those then it wouldn't have been included in a FOIA request.

Under Rubio's legislation, any national regulations would preempt state laws -- even if the state's are more strict.
I seems like this is really just a way to prevent states from creating strict privacy laws and moor any possible advancements in partisanship.
I'm pretty sure YouTube is going to dub this The Malaysia Airlines Challenge before taking the video down. ;)

Then support something effective rather than this bullshit "we need a wall" which literally will be no more effective than the current border fence.
What is a border "wall" (who the fuck knows what it would be) going to do that the border fence isn't doing?
I asked the demographics.
