  1. You would have had a great career in emergency management.
  2. As a sovereign country (2016), Texas would be the 10th largest economy in the world by GDP, ahead of South Korea and Canada and behind Brazil. SOURCE

    "We saw it in the trials, so it's really not surprising," Parikh added. "Now we're seeing it in real time as the vaccines are being rolled out." In both Pfizer's and Moderna's phase III trial data, systemic adverse events were reported more frequently after dose 2 than dose 1. For the latter, rates were 54.9% versus 42.2% for placebo after the first dose and 79.4% versus 36.5% for placebo after the second dose. Fever, headache, fatigue, myalgia, arthralgia, and chills were far more common after the second dose compared with the first dose and with all placebo doses. https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/91157 EDIT: Copied the wrong section the first time.
  4. Try to keep up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaye_Lynne_Haver https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristen_Marie_Griest https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2020/07/09/a-woman-became-a-green-beret-today-a-huge-milestone-for-the-army-and-the-military-but-she-isnt-the-first-female-to-earn-the-title/ And, they continue going to the schools and be assigned in SF/SOF
  5. Five yard penalty. You started out with Misogyny, then shifted to trans - Misogyny 1st down.
  6. I don't know that because you're not sharing each energy types' percent of contribution to comprise 100% of the grid's commitment. 38% may be worse depending on it's contribution to the total commitment.
  7. Which is exactly what I said - "And, what you guys don't seem to get is that improvement is continuous, Not perfect at any point in time and we all can do better. But, the military is doing the best at improving. Much better than the civilian sector. "
  8. What percent of the total commitment to energy does each one have to comprise the 100% needed? I'm looking for what percent of their total commitment did they drop? If NG comprise 70% and fell to 38% of the total commitment and solar/wind is 30% and fell to 12%, then both lost about half. IMO: NG/ OIL/Gas is a finite natural resource. Solar/Wind are infinite resources, cleaner, and if we don't wean ourselves off those natural finite resources; we're going to be left with our hands on our peckers to stay warm. Not now, not soon, but someday it's going to happen. We need to start shifting in the direction of alternative energy.
  9. ". . . natural gas still generated electricity at 38 percent of its total capacity throughout the energy emergency." Seriously. you consider 38% showing up for work?
  10. Thanks for posting this. Funniest shit in a long time. Way to end a day.
  11. I'm going to have to call bullshit. All men have been carried by a woman. They're called, "Mom."
  12. >>>You did not address it at all - that is why I BOLD, ITALICIZED AND UNDERLINED IT. It was a simple yes or no question. *** It is relevant. "Anecdotal Experience" is also Anecdotal Evidence and is allowed in a court of law. Professor Kallend, based on your experience in physics, Mr. Von, based on your experience in engineering, Mr. Weber, based on your experience as a DZO, etc. Well, based on my twenty years of experience in the military, we were fucking green Jakee. You simply cannot work on a team that is devoted to the mission and the lives of each member and see any other color. Race was not a factor. The ONLY factor was being good enough to be on the team and knowing the "MAN" next to you had your back and you had his, And, then sadly, you end it with what I said to you. You know, I'm really thinking that some of you on here have realized that you're a lot more racist than those you accuse. You look in the mirror and don't see what you like, so instead of calling it what it is, and calling out directly who you should, you hide behind this label of "White Privilege." Meanwhile, we have a new Secretary of Defense. He got there because he was good, not because of his color or lack thereof. He's the fucking COO of the US Military and he got there being green; not black. Maybe if you folks on the left quit identifying people by color and looking for the bad, you'll see the good. Not all white men are members of the KKK, not all black men are gangstas, quit establishing labels and let's just call each other - Americans. Jakee, here's the best thing you and I can do for each other. Block each other. Win, Win, Win. You win, I win, everyone else wins.
  13. The subject I was addressing was race, not gender. Having said that, I can't speak to this subject having served in a unit in which women could not serve.
  14. You only quoted part of what I posted. Let's READ the whole thing together, shall we? And, what you guys don't seem to get is that improvement is continuous, Not perfect at any point in time and we all can do better. But, the military is doing the best at improving. Much better than the civilian sector. Pay attention. >>>>> "the claim that the only colour in the Army is green is insane." You've never served in the military, have you?
  15. But, did TDEM even try - https://www.fema.gov/grants/mitigation

    Same experience. Prepared to be down for 8-12 hours with the second shot.
  19. BINGO. FEMA has three core missions, 1) Individual Assistance, 2) Public Assistance, and 3) Hazard Mitigation Assistance - wait for it - this funding is for measures designed to reduce future losses to public and private property. Like I said, a lot of DEM's aren't held accountable or have any oversight for continuous improvement to their mitigation plans. There are only two states that work daily on hazard mitigation scenarios, Florida and Mississippi. The irony is the federal funding is there to minimize future events. But, they don't do it. ETA: Because they don't; each disaster winds up costing more than it should. To steal from Ben Franklin - A million dollars of prevention is worth ten million of cure.
