Crows can only count to 4. If one hunter goes into the woods and comes out the crows will signal the exit. The same for two, three, or four hunters. If five hunters go into the woods the crows will signal all clear when the fourth hunter exits, indicating they cannot count past 4. I am surprized that most people are even as smart as crows....

It is simple really, read the book "Total Atomic Defense." You can Google around and find a PDF of it but I prefer the origonal red cover hardback. Since those Ruskys got the bomb and started producing MIRVs the policy of our government is "NEVER ANOTHER MANHATTAN." The United States cival defece stratagy is spread everything out so it is harder to hit and link everything by concrete. Being a governmnet plan you can see how it worked out......
>Hydrogen is a dead end and always has been. Not forever though. I built a lab scale reactor that we loaded with a nanopartical catalyst tuned for visible light. In this reactor we are doing plasmonics steam methane reforming (P-SMR). We have evaluated a number of catalysts and are making hydrogen at temperatures as low as 150C and are getting good yield at 200C. (You bake pizza at that temperature) The process turns on and off with the flip of a switch. High nickel alloys are not required. The catalyst is easy to make. With *CURRENT* Texas prices for methane, electricity, and water the scaled up costs are much cheaper than fossil fuel. We are constructing a larger reactor so stay tuned.
>That brings me to something I've suspected for a long time, I suspect that few people with plug-in hybrid electric cars actually plug them in for a recharge. I have a first gen Volt; the one with the bumper sticker that warns, “Powered Mostly by Nuclear and Dirty Coal”. For years I was able to make the round trip to wage slave work and back to home on a charge. I would go weeks without going to a gas station.

It is really like this: to really get rich simply go down to the crossroads at midnight and sell your soul to the devil. Catch-22: You have to have one that he[/she/it] won’t get simply by waiting. The devil then has an ‘in’ on the decedents, the devil has a voluminous catalog of what temptation works where and with whom, and gets them by simply waiting.
"Common core math looks awesome. Teaches concepts instead of bullshit rote memorization of crap." Tell ya what.

You need to work that muscle that is the brain or you will be a slug. I really did not care for working all 80 questions at the end of each chapter or Integral Calculus, but I was a better man for it.
What if teleportation is nothing like that at all? What if the transporter puts an ‘containerâ€(TM) around that part of space, balances it with a similar container somewhere else, and then moves the containers with out disturbing the contents? Or maybe something different completely.....
Go look at something like this https://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/mcfaddin/index.html#sealevel and pay attention to https://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/mcfaddin/images/SeaLevel1.html and you can see real sea level rise. There were people living there when the sea level rose meters at a time. In the last 100 or so years we have burnt half of the planets liquids, god only knows how much coal, and run atmospheric CO2 from.280% to over 0.4%. I actually looked at TFA and three measely inches is all there is? (heard that from my wife on our honeymoon) Industrial age humans really suck at climate change. Un-deniable.
>The destruction of the Unions [...] it is clearly pushed by the GOP This reminds me of a joke about a flea climbing up an elephants leg with rape on its mind. The GOP cant destroy themselves out of a wet paper bag. Destruction of the unions was self-inflicted. The leadership was takenover by patronage and nepotism, corruption flourished, and they lost interest in the welfare of the members. I watched it happen. Same sad story. Go ahead and blame whoever, but if you ignore Franklin you ensure your destruction.
> Most white people wouldn't last a month as a black person in the US. Would not care to. I have to compete with other 'white' people. It is tough. Some people can lay back and blame whatever and vote for the Santa Clause political party. Not me. I have to bust my ass to even place.
>My power company should be able to provide internet access if they want to, for example. Hold on. Have you seen what broad band over powerlines does to the HF spectrum?

Except that John Dowdy was replaced in 1972 by Charlie Wilson. GHWB defeated Ralph Yarborough in 1966. By the way, Dowdy was a hoot. I worked in opposition to Wilson in 72 in his race against Dowdy's wife. Dowdy was in prison for accepting a bribe for which the briber was acquitted, DC has not changed: walk carefully you Trumpers, carefuly indeed.

They are not "mining the sea" in the way that brings up images of strip mining or even underground mining. They are drilling a regular normal oil well and performing the completion in the strata that contains a significant amount of hydrate in the pore network. Then they lower the pressure in the wellbore which lowers the pressure in the strata and then the hydrate disassociates into methane and water. The methane tries to come up the pipe. The water commits all sorts of passive aggression that water does in oil wells to make life mizerable for the schlub engineer.

I am also considering this as a solution. If you get it to work please post a ‘howto’

thanks for proving his point.
