Since there are a lot of things that correlate with location of fracking sites, such as lower income
Why do you think rich people don't want fracking sites near their homes? I'm sure it's just coincidence and has nothing to do with the fact that they're making people sick.
I promise you it doesn't feel like Baton Rouge in Chicago. The heat index in Baton Rouge at 9pm while I type this is higher than it was at 4pm in Chicago.
Yeah, but you have andouille, cold Tin Roof beer and Joe Barry on the jukebox.
In Chicago, to prepare for global warming and more rain, they are replacing the alley pavement with similar stuff that lets the water soak into the ground.
Yeah, that's where I am. They also did the aprons from the alley to the street and a couple of the streets encircling my block. Probably because the alderman lives just a few doors away.
within 90 years, they expect a climate similar to Baton Rouge Louisiana.
It feels like Baton Rouge today. But really wasn't Chicago originally a swamp way back when DuSable set up camp here?
I walked the dog over near Union Park earlier where Pitchfork is going on and it looked pretty swampy over there, too. All the hipsters were sloshing around.
Bumpers are all but useless. My '68 Caprice had bumpers you could use to knock down light poles at 30mph. Not that I would have ever done such a thing. Sober.
Why would you want waterproof roadways? Wouldn't something that would allow drainage make the road safer?
They recently did my little street and alley with some special material/process that looks just like regular paving but allows for drainage. The standing water and black ice conditions have completely gone away. I don't know anything about the new material besides the fact that it's water permeable, because I asked one of the workers about it last year. I didn't get any other details, unfortunately.
All you have to do is quadruple your electricity prices, put in a battery system in your home to capture the "clean energy", pay more for the electric car and there you are.
Whereas with coal, all you have to do is tear great big holes in the ground, destroy the water supply, kill thousands of miners with black lung disease and untold thousands more with pollution, contribute to climate change and have the government subsidize the whole thing.
The North Fire was at 500 acres about 3:45 p.m., and firefighting aircraft were temporarily grounded due to drone activity, the San Bernardino County Fire Department stated on Twitter. Two hours later, the fire was at 3,500 acres.
I definitely agree that whoever was flying those drones should be culpable for part of the damage. It's a shame that some people just don't know how to behave.
Speaking of aircraft, right now the San Bernadino Fire Dept is saying that fire-fighting aircraft are being grounded because of all the private drone activity in the area around the wildfire.
i admit 100% i havent thought it through. because I hope it never comes to that.
but the 2nd amendment clearly allows it to happen, so by that right, thats all the reason we need
Allows what to happen? Where in the Second Amendment is "keeping government accountable" allowed? You're still not thinking anything through.
"The Second Amendment...IT'S A COOKBOOK!"
Your preparation for this "keeping government accountable" part includes owning a firearm, but not giving any thought to how to use it to accomplish your goal? This is fascinating. I would have thought you'd at least have given it a little thought.
the one where i say it doesnt matter what the plan is?? or that there doesnt need to be a plan???
So, you're going to keep the government under control using firearms, but you have absolutely no idea how to go about that besides "have firearms"?
You simply refuse to admit the obvious: that the people who believe the Second Amendment is some guarantee against tyranny just have not thought it through. Or, they refuse to admit that it always ends up with killing members of the US military or civilian police. But since they're all good patriotic paramilitary groupies, they won't admit it to themselves. Yourselves.
Me, I tend to think you're in the "haven't thought it through" camp.
I've yet to hear about how you're going to keep the government under control with your firearms. Apparently no one has an answer to that one yet. They must not have thought this thing through.
The recent scandal at the American Psychological Association, with psychologists participating in the torture of US prisoners, is worth considering in regard to this story.
The police are already called in on a regular basis to deal with patients whose guardians (be that family or whatever) have lost control of them, and frequently this has deadly results as handling psychiatric patients isn't something law enforcement does well or are trained to do. Substituting medical professionals, and having a four hour limit to prevent abuse, seems a fairly big improvement on the status quo.
Robots need a large supporting infrastructure of humans to:
* lubricate them, replace worn-out parts, and otherwise maintain them * ensure a supply of feedstock or raw materials is brought to the robot * transport finished products away from the end of the assembly line * maintain the power grid and/or backup generating system to ensure reliable supply of electric power * monitor the "health" of the robots (watch for warnings / diagnostic codes)
I don't know if you're old enough to remember, but back in the 1990s, we were told that there would be tens of millions of new well-paying jobs for all the computer maintenance and repair people who would be needed to serve the needs of the new computerized workplace. There were even going to be great careers for people who would go around just cleaning out dirty computers.
The film was a bit of a con. That rig was properly engineering to fire that weapon, that recoil was really well balanced and amateurs would struggle with the cost of a trial and error method.
Shh. Don't tell people that. You don't want to be discouraging people from attaching handguns to drones and depriving us of all the humorous Darwin Awards nominees.
I expect that even when we were operating as very small tribes scattered over large areas and with leaders whose positions were tenuous at best we still made war.
Yes, but back then it wasn't practical to attach a bow and arrow to a drone.

That's because rich people don't want fracking operations anywhere near their families.
Yeah, but you have andouille, cold Tin Roof beer and Joe Barry on the jukebox.

No, it has to do with management and the desires of the economic elite.
And it's management and the economic elite who so badly want robots.
Do the math.
Hint: It worked for bumpers, why not for roads?
Bumpers are all but useless. My '68 Caprice had bumpers you could use to knock down light poles at 30mph. Not that I would have ever done such a thing. Sober.

Yet, enough people drive electrics and hybrids that when they're figured into to total vehicle average mileage, it goes up by nearly 70%.
You mean the ones nobody drives?
The average fuel economy for existing non-hybrid, non-electric cars and light trucks is still about 20-25 mpg.
Whereas with coal, all you have to do is tear great big holes in the ground, destroy the water supply, kill thousands of miners with black lung disease and untold thousands more with pollution, contribute to climate change and have the government subsidize the whole thing.
And there you are.
I don't think I've ever before said that I was gobsmacked, but that actually smacked my gob.

Stop making so much sense. It's Friday.
Yes, because the mentally ill are on a tight schedule and have to make it to their next Scientology meeting.
I enjoy reading about people who amuse themselves with firearms.

How'd that work out for you?
This guy did it last week, except using his head instead of a drone:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/...
Of course, Texas, not to be outdone by some goddamn yankee, had to try to outdo him in the "where can I attach something that explodes" department:
http://www.syracuse.com/us-new...
I have high hopes for the "let's attach a gun to a drone" idea. It could get very entertaining.
Shh. Don't tell people that. You don't want to be discouraging people from attaching handguns to drones and depriving us of all the humorous Darwin Awards nominees.
