    think about how you'd feel about anybody who did that to a woman for any reason.

    As James Damore pointed out in his very well-sourced ten-page treatise on gender differences, women don't have a sense of humor because they lack a particular bone in their ankles.

    And here is an unretouched photo of James Damore for reference purposes only:

    James Damore is the Rosa Parks of whiny MRA incel manbabies.

    In case you've forgotten, here's an unretouched photo of Mr Damore with two former co-workers who had just had their way with him. If you look closely, you can see that one is still holding the fork that Damore used to toss his salad. According to several other co-workers, it was entirely consensual.

  7. Yet for some reason you can't see how this situation exactly mirrors having all of Hilldawg's cronies "investigate" her numerous wrongdoings.

    There have been dozens of Republican investigations into Hillary Clinton, by every far-right congressional jack-off you can think of. They've all come up with nothing

    Robert Mueller is a Republican. He's also a highly decorated war hero. His military decorations and awards include: the Bronze Star Medal with Combat "V", Purple Heart Medal, two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals with Combat "V", Combat Action Ribbon, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal with three 316" bronze stars, Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, and Parachutist Badge.

    He served as FBI director under both Republican and Democratic administrations. And now, as Special Prosecutor, he's already taking Trump administration scalps. Number of arrests of Obama Administration officials over eight years? Zero. Number of Trump administration officials arrested or had to resign in disgrace just in the first 10 months of his presidency? I count an even dozen, including Trump's choice for chief scientist at the USDA, Sam Clovis.

    So take that beam and stick it straight up your alt-right ass.

  8. No harm, no foul on Equifax Investigation Clears Execs Who Dumped Stock Before Hack Announcement (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The internal investigation by Equifax cleared the Equifax executives of any wrongdoing when they sold their stock in Equifax just before the story about how Equifax was so sloppy with the personal data of millions of people who aren't even customers of Equifax that hackers were able to get all of it.

    Well, I guess that settles it. Surely, if there was wrongdoing, the internal investigation by Equifax would have found it and brought the wrongdoers to justice.

    Now watch me hit this drive...See that? Right in the middle of the fairway.

    For most bulk crops such as corn, wheat, and soybeans, America is the world's low cost producer. Nobody is going to put American farms out of business.

    Not as long as we keep the taxpayer-funded agricultural subsidies in place.

    "An index from cryptocurrency analyst Alex de Vries, aka Digiconomist, estimates that with prices the way they are now, it would be profitable for Bitcoin miners to burn through over 24 terawatt-hours of electricity annually as they compete to solve increasingly difficult cryptographic puzzles to "mine" more Bitcoins. That's about as much as Nigeria, a country of 186 million people, uses in a year.

    This averages out to a shocking 215 kilowatt-hours (KWh) of juice used by miners for each Bitcoin transaction (there are currently about 300,000 transactions per day). Since the average American household consumes 901 KWh per month, each Bitcoin transfer represents enough energy to run a comfortable house, and everything in it, for nearly a week. On a larger scale, De Vries' index shows that bitcoin miners worldwide could be using enough electricity to at any given time to power about 2.26 million American homes."

    You should take a walk over to Rice University and ask one of the freshmen to explain the difference between "weather" and "climate". Better yet, take a drive down to NASA and ask an actual scientist to explain global warming to you.
