    Good one! Solar will not run out during the time period that humans exist on Earth.

    Tesla Motors was founded in 2003. Elon Musk purchased a major stake in 2008 and it has been producing cars since then. So, five years from when?

    I imagine it was the ironic humour of the headline. Nothing more and nothing less. It is very similar to your approach to posting. Did it get a little to close to home for you?

    War criminals? There is no such thing as an American war criminals. The politically correct term is "hero".

    That's exactly what people do. They replace them with appropriately sized ZP ones. I have never seen anyone replace a worn out F-111 pc with another one one of the same flawed item. There are many myths around skydiving. ZP P/Cs causing line twists is a new one on me. Must be a secret Sunpath and Mirage are not sharing with everyone else.

    Solar power and wind power are both fusion power. I can see no reason to believe that we need to move the fusion reactor any closer than 93 million miles away.

    The US is by far the largest holder of US debt. The Chinese may be the largest foreign holder. They have to put it somewhere and there is no better place.

    Another brave 3 yo pays the price of freedom. https://www.kshb.com/news/local-news/3-year-old-in-south-kansas-city-dies-from-accidental-gunshot-wound And a 4 yo as well. https://katv.com/news/local/man-arrested-after-child-dies-from-self-inflicted-gunshot-wound

    Yes, but it's not about agreeing. It's about the constitutionality of them.

    That's okay. Even if forced birth were to become the law of your land the rich men who pass the laws will still be able to send there mistresses up to Canada.
  11. gowlerk
    Like forced birth laws?

    This is simply a dog whistle to the base. It's about ending the family reunification policy that was implemented in the current immigration law by conservatives. At the time they thought it would bring in more white people because America was mainly white. They miscalculated the demand from Europe to get into the USA. Instead of Norwegians people from "shit-hole countries" brought in more and more relatives. Trump and his white nationalism adviser Miller know they can not get this racist garbage through congress but they also know it will cement their popularity with the deplorables.

    I choose to interpret the word from the mod as a gentle warning that I could be beginning to go in the wrong direction.

    Great story. And it clearly shows that we are only at the beginning of the transformation of our energy economy. Thanks.
  15. gowlerk
    Exactly! Now maybe you can use that wisdom to understand why the world is moving away from fossil fuels. Choices, wise choices. Leaving the deadenders in the past and moving on.

    Interestingly, I just heard an interview on NPR with a state senator from one of the forced delivery states. He claims that clearly life begins at conception so they are passing a law banning abortions after 8 weeks of gestation. There is clearly a flaw in that logic.

    You may or may not be being deliberately obtuse, but you are clearly being obtuse. I did not say that. I said that the " millions of women against abortion at the front of the pro life movement" are doing nothing to show that they feel this is important and are doing nothing to indicate they want it to happen.
  18. gowlerk
    Uhhhh......That has very little to do with what you said. Just to remind you.... "I'm sure the millions of women against abortion at the front of the pro life movement would agree." is what you typed.
  19. gowlerk
    You seem to be sure of a lot of things about women. I don't see any of them speaking up in agreement.
  20. gowlerk
    Laws giving women something closer to equal power and access to birth control.

    In fairness, he couldn’t have read it because there was only a picture of a screen grab. I needed to type the headline into the google to find the actual article.

    How many manufacturers have you spoken to? More than one?

    “Pablo will go straight through a red light and not even look at all,” skateboarder and filmmaker Ryan Garshell told GQ. “It’s up to the driver to stop, and if they don’t stop, that’s it. Somehow he always makes it. It’s really magical.” Now that's Darwin worthy. Like proxy flying.

    That would seem to be not really true when you consider that PD only has two sizes of slider all across the range of Sabre 2s from 97 to 260 sq ft. All of them have a 31" span, up to 170 have a 23" chord, large have a 26" chord.

    And....lost in all of that is the fact that Ireland was actually copying the UK Parliament. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-48126677
