I'd repeat myself... but it's pointless.
If you didn't understand it the first time, repeating it just isn't going to help.

It suffices to say, he was correct in his wording...
You're I think the only person who found bias in it.. perhaps you have preconceived notions that are biasing your own viewpoint.

That is not true.
The Freedom Act, nor any amendments that passed committee (none of them, to McConnell's dismay) allowed for that. The bill was designed to reform the metadata collection, and it did so.
Now don't get me wrong- it's awesome that he stood up and blocked this horse shit for 11 hours, but he didn't stop the tide, nor did he have the power to.

56% against vs. 44% for is "slightly more against the bill"
2% against vs. 98% for is "overwhelmingly in favor of it"
50% against vs. 50% for is "mostly split"

where's the bullshit?

It's sad. At this point, I'd welcome either one of them with open arms given the alternatives.

Sound's like Italian dressing... I'm game.

Holy fuck, I knew it was bad after 2008... but >5x... That's... kind of sick.

Yes, there's lots of money to be made in fixing our fuckups, even by the people who supplies the tools to create said fuckups. Why is this relevant?

Utterly not true... Unless of course you limit the data set to between about 86 and 88, and exclude before and after. Smells like denialist arguing ;)

Now this is just stupid. The high part of the solar cycle creates *more* Ozone, and we've undergone 4 full cycles since the CFC problem was hypothesized and identified, and the stratospheric ozone measurements aren't even nudged by the cycle... Maybe due to how utterly small the variation in the cycle is (.07% of mean peak to trough)

What do you even say to a fucking idiot who talks out of his ass like that?
How would you tell your child they're wrong if they told you today that it's safe to be shot by a gun, and that most people die of a heart attack out of fright from the sound of the gun firing?

N2 is less dense than air. Does it all rise to the top of the atmosphere?
CO2 is denser than air. Does it all sink to the bottom?

Indeed.
You should apply some kinetic energy to a mixture of oil and water sometime, and see how it looks.

How the fuck is your post Off Topic?
Wish I had mod points...

That would be a weird thing for a computer gamer to say since DVD computer games predated the PS2 by 2 years...

The Nature Conservancy does some really cool work, however, make no mistake, the bats that currently face potential extinction can't be saved by an organization such as them. It will require Government, and that usually requires an association with the devil (lobbyists)

Eradicating would have perhaps been a better word to use.
Fatality rate for the total bat population in affected caves is 90-100%. In many caves in Missouri, the bats are *gone*.

Very likely human involvement. The fungus is natural in European caves, and European bats can have the fungus on them without becoming colonized by it.
The fungus is thought to spread between American caves by people.

:(
That's pretty disappointing to hear about New England.

There are a few. They're not the majority, and they tend to be pretty liberal on average and have very little actually in common with the national party they identify with. They're good folks... on average. This contrasts starkly with the average person of same affiliation I met while I lived in the midwest. I'd vote for the average Republican I know up here. No so much out of dixiecrat-turned-Republican land.

No, but you'd get a great view of the outer solar system... at a good clip of 27km/s or so if my math isn't too wrong.
