Woke is like obscenity. I can’t define it but I know it when I see it.

Conspiracy believers and antivaxxers both haunt the dz here. But are a small minority.

I remember that night. You are correct.

70k? That’s probably about what it will cost her to fly her jet from Tokyo to see him play in the big game.

That is a big project. 7 square miles of desert needed. California is not the only state that can do this, but not every state can. I found this interesting page on CA energy sources. It's already 2 years old so it doesn't include this facility coming on line. https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/california-electricity-data/2022-total-system-electric-generation

Sometimes you get what you deserve.

Uh.... it's Saturday night and I have company? Read the thread from the top. If you don't get it it will be because you choose not to. The explanation is right in it. There is nothing more for me to say.

English language dictionaries are freely available for you to use. I had to use references to find the meaning of QED and laughed pretty hard when I did.

I found the good Dr.'s QED to be most ironic.

I'm sure you'll let me know when you are ready to.

Very little written by one person in this thread suggests knowledge of English.

Some come here to post. Some come here to judge posts. Some do both. Only men would count bodies publically. Women would just act as if we never have met and move on.

Well….it’s not like I’d be sad if it was to happen.

Advocating for the gunning down of political opponents openly on social media is something I associate with the extreme right wing. It’s also possibly a good way to attract unwanted attention from certain government agencies. But hey, if you love your weapons, I guess you need to find ways to make them useful.

How very American of you.

Did not The Lord give his people dominion over the land?

There would seem to be hardly a grain of sand anywhere that is not sacred to some indigenous person.

Yes, there’s a significant level of cynicism in most of us around the issue.

Yes TK. We know that Idling is both a waste of fuel and hard on engines. So what? No one wants to drive in a freezing car. We could all save energy by keeping the house just above freezing and wearing heavy clothing. I'll bite the bullet and spring for the fuel and pump out the carbon to stay warm.

Try starting a diesel engine with gelled fuel. -40 on both common scales is equal and is about the limit for most trucking fuels . Jet A is good for -47. Modern ICE gasoline cars in good tune will still start at -40 without a block heater if they have a fully charged battery. But with warmup time I would say my fuel economy drops by 50% in city driving. Of course the big difference is still faster refueling times. Except for the rare times when it is so cold that you can't even pump diesel from the truck stop because the pumps are frozen. That has never happened to me personally but it has been known in Edmonton a few times.

Nice. You managed to insult both Wendy and myself and only needed an eleven word sentence to do it. You seldom fail to impress me.

At least he spares us the math involved and gives simplified explanations.

Yes, it almost seems like two things are happening. The lessons of WW 2 are being forgotten by a new generation and the balance of terror established by nuclear weapons is being eroded and tested.

Yes, that was the situation in the colonial era and that was how I took it as well. Political disputes over territory between peoples were dealt with by killing the opposition. The same as now if it can be gotten away with.

Where can I hire a good editor for cheap? Should I submit my work to you for pre approval? The learning process is lifelong.
