You guys are all fucking zero-sumers, you want more water in an area that is desert, build a couple nuclear power plants and run some desalination plants. News flash, Southern California is in the horse latitudes, that means desert, just like almost every desert on the planet is in the horse latitudes.

We didn't break teh fuckin' planet; just Kaliphornia, and that was because Feinstein voted with the Republicans and Hell froze over. When you disturb the natural order there are consequences.

It doesn't matter what the aurthor of the GPL meant, it's what the licensor actually said that counts

If your an actor, hired to be in a historically based film protrayal of a particularly decadent period of Roman Civilization, when ruled by a Ceaser who was discribed as

sources focus upon his cruelty, sadism, extravagance, and sexual perversity, presenting him as an insane tyrant. Caligula

and produced by Bob Guccione, it's hard to be sympathetic to complaints that it turned into a porno.

As a dyed in the wool denier, I can unequivocally say that windmills remove an immeasurable amount of energy from the planetary system and have no effect on the frequency of tornadoes or any other storms.

Weather is an instance of climate, if weather is chaotic, then climate is chaotic; self-similarity is a harsh mistress. You alarmists all seem to confuse Chaotic systems with erratic systems; chaotic systems often appear well ordered, while being unpredictable.

I assume that because this so called dark matter, if it really exists, is pretty homogeneous at scales of planetary systems so all of the gravitational pulls at infinitely different angles just cancels out.

If you've gotten a "tetanus" shot since 1949 you've some form of pertussis vaccine as well.

If God didn't want me to go to prison, he wouldn't have permanently brain damaged my kid with measles and that stupid measles shot wouldn't have stopped him anyway!

I just saw on the TV (Detroit market) that to get the philosophical exemption, the parents will have to have a face to face meeting with a public health official who will explain both the risks and benefits of vaccination, which should help reduce the numbers of frivolous exemptions. Additionally I think parents should be held personally responsible for their children's health i.e. if you opt of a vaccine for religious or philosophical reasons and your kid gets that disease, you go to prison for criminal child neglect. I wouldn't be opposed to kids not vaccinated for religious/philosophical reasons being segregated so they don't pose a threat to kids who are unable to be vaccinated due to bona fide medical conditions.

Still not going to get much, even Stirlings need a good bit of log-deltaT to work well enough for a ROI.

It's basicaly synthetic petrolium oil w/ antioxidants added, the MSDS doesn't list anything as particularly hazzardous "Repeated or prolonged contact may result in localized irritation of the skin. May cause allergic reactions in some individuals ... As with any hydrocarbon product, oil-impervious clothing is recommended to prevent skin contact" so wear nitrile or butyl rubber gloves and wash up with Gojo.

The prohibition only applies to weapons that are designed to blind the naked eye as a primary purpose, not to weapons where blinding is collateral damage. It is even permissable to lase optical systems that would blind a human looking through the system.

they're not wings, thet're phase-arrayed sensor panels, they just looks like wings.
