  1. I’m not seeing both sides raping, looting or pillaging in this conflict. If the Ukrainians are doing it I’ve yet to see it reported. With each new bit of territory recaptured from the Russians, however, I’m seeing plenty of evidence of all of that and worse.
  2. Moore v Harper is the one to watch, likely decided after midterms. It could dramatically affect the 2024 election.
  3. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/u-s-warns-russia-of-catastrophic-consequences-if-it-uses-nukes-in-ukraine-11664141192?mod=home-page Other than that they will be catastrophic there’s no word publicly on what the consequences will be, but supposedly the Russians have already been made aware of what will come next.
  4. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_incredulity Maybe they just wanted to vote and go home and then go back to work the next day like I did. Hard to believe isn’t it?
  5. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/International/bodies-found-makeshift-burial-ukraine-show-signs-torture/story?id=90143457 if you’re a Ukrainian in “Russia” they cut your dick off.
  6. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/abortion-laws-pre-roe/671409/ Up until now they only wanted to go after the doctors. I shouldn’t be surprised they stepped it up. Apparently when many of the trigger laws that recently went into effect were passed, both pregnant women and doctors were trusted more than they are today.
  7. Those people who died in the heatwaves of the 1930s were idiots. They should have used their air conditioning like we do now.
  8. So that’s just the US? And it’s average maximum temperature, not average temperature?
  9. There’s a bit more to that story. Saturn’s moon titan was so worth a look that the decision was made to do a flyby with Voyager 1 and that meant that it could no longer continue on the same grand tour out to Uranus & Neptune as Voyager 2. In retrospect, I’m not sure it was worth it. Titan revealed few secrets on that flyby due to its thick, opaque atmosphere so Voyager 1 passed by and exited the solar system out of the top so to speak. Still, titan was definitely worth checking out and Cassini-Huygens did a good job with that a couple of decades later. Some JPL scientists worked on both missions and had to wait a long time to satisfy their curiosity.
  10. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna46746 That’s not how insurance companies down there see things.
  11. Nice. I wish California put forward something like this before they just mandated the switch to EVs. We needed this level of infrastructure investment years ago. I think we’re going in the right direction but I feel incentivizing works better than mandating.
  12. Fuck Putin. He deserves no off ramp. The best outcome would be for him to fall out of a hospital window, and for Nevalney to be released from prison and allowed to run in a fair election.
  13. Dang, thought I was at the goalposts. Where’d they go?
  14. Did you notice that your graph varies in temperature by about a degree over 2000 years while the one billvon posted varies by almost 2 degrees over only 170? Aren’t you the one always talking about natural variation?
  15. I don’t think I am. He knows what he’s doing and he’s good at it.
  16. Okay now I see. You can’t nail it down. Everyone says you move goal posts but I think you just make them infinitely wide for your team.
  17. If it’s just weather what is the purpose of the thread? And can you define the natural variability range for us? IOW, if there were no snow or 4 feet of snow, would that be outside the natural range?
  18. When you experience sleep related injuries.
  19. Spoken like a true dilettante. In hockey you’re expected to score goals.
  20. Is that why continuing to spew shit into the atmosphere rather than trying to clean it up seems to be what your in favor of? WTF does that even mean?
  21. Profit & loss math is about the easiest you could ever do in the real world and successful business owners understand that. Compound interest is as complex as it gets in the world of finance, but it too is fairly easy to understand. If you take advantage of either you can make a lot of money and afford to tell everyone how smart you are.
  22. Yeah, he was a republcan. Probably all about the free market I suppose.
