If Paul Pelosi had a pistol handy maybe he wouldn’t be in the hospital today.

I see Mullins is still getting slammed there.

It appears nearly certain that the deal will close tonight or tomorrow. The existing executives have been fired this evening. The NYSE is stopping trading in the stock as it is expected to go private. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/musk-posts-video-himself-strolling-192149234.html

That is as valid as any other belief. In other words an interesting but worthless guess at what can not be known.

Yes, especially the aspect ratio. Maneuverability and stability are standard trade offs in canopy design. There are many main canopies available that also are very stable and unlikely to have diving openings unless something is fouling the lines. But they are not as much fun to fly as "sportier" designs.

Too late. Already started without you.

If you want to ignore the pretty settled science you could believe that is possible I suppose. Another 5 billion or so till the Sun is in a different phase. But if you know anything about the history of life on Earth it is hard to imagine the era of human life lasting for more than a small fraction of that.

Most economists also think that number is a healthy rate of inflation.

Without oil I suppose we might be able to make hemp rope harnesses, silk canopies, and do some cliff jumps.

That is not very relevant to the subject. You are talking about mere money that we owe to each other. Joe is talking about overdrawing our account with the planet.

We wouldn't be skydiving that's for sure. Most likely we would be living in smaller tribes and fighting wars that are even more brutal than what we do now. What has made us so successful is probably what will be our undoing. As you said.

The root of all these potential problems is that the human population has been growing like an invasive species. Either that stops by design or the natural order of things will make it stop when we run into the limits of the planet we are never going to escape from. Our history in relation to that of the earth is very brief, there is little reason to think it will continue long term in the form that we now live it. It's a great time to be a living human for many of us, perhaps most of us so enjoy and appreciate it instead of fighting useless culture wars. The one single thing that would extend our ability to continue to thrive is simple. More power and agency in the hands of women.

Even better than credibility, they have votes. Enough votes that if it had come down to another party member election Boris the spider would be spinning his web again.

I guess even RT has limits. Krasovsky has been suspended. https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-tv-presenter-krasovsky-drown-ukrainian-children-outrage/32097102.html

The current shortage of integrated circuit chips strongly hints at how dependant our current lifestyle is on a stable world trade situation. The current geo-political climate strongly hints that stability is endangered.

What’s up with the right wing crazies and their Putin worship anyway? Dictators R Us?

Are you signed in? If not the incident forum will not be visible.

There are about 173,000 members, and about 415,000 Labour Party members. Out of about 68 million total population. Democracy is a funny thing.....

In the spring when the flowers return.

It's been a week now. Any word on the repairs yet?

The virus has mutated in the 18 months since the quote was made.

Oh well. At least you are only objecting to his educational origins and not his ethnicity.

You don't necessarily need to row to run a country.

That's as good a rationalization as any I guess. WWJD? Vote R of course!
