(Waffles arrive) "Ugh...they poured the blueberry 'syrup' all over them. Now I wish I had been killed by the tornado."

Given the energy travels through the earth faster than sound, I wonder what the hell kinds of sounds are generated by what earth micro-stresses arriving ahead of the main shockwaves.

No, the fat guy was just coincidence, he had heard the lunch truck pull up.

We now return to Family Guy in Space:

(Printer spits out something...)

Peter: "Wait. That doesn't look like a tool,"

Quagmire: "It's frequently been called a tool."'

And Germany has been completely neutered as far as military responses go.

Well, you take the good with the bad.

"Oh oh, our cigars suck. Ummmmm...hide!"

The Panama Canal is being expanded to handle larger ships. These are "superpanamax".

In the US, harbors are in the middle of legal entanglements by environmentalists to deepen harbors by 5 feet to handle them, 7+ year battles, longer than the canal took.

Meanwhile, China is building an even bigger canal for even bigger ships.

The center of empire has shifted. The empire that keeps the trade routes open prospers. An empire that turns to lording over its own people falters.

Goodnight, Irene. Your kids will live in an economically broken.1984-like panopticon state ruled by populist memes.

Words don't matter. Actions and history do.

It's more than just privacy -- that they nailed him on something irrelevant...that he wasn't even doing for a month of surveillance yet, smacks of using a de facto general warrant, which the Constitution specifically forbids.

They must list the crime they suspect you of, and present some evidence, and list the things to search and stuff to seize.

They cannot just go get a general warrant to filch through your stuff indefinitely until they find some little law of a myriad existing ones you violated.

That was how politicians abused their power, keeping down uppity people, or people who, you know, didn't pay their donations.a
So government surveillinh him for wn indefinite period, looking for violations of anything, amounts to this behavior.

It would be interesting to see if the decision touches on this.

No, they don't have that power.

The case a few years ago throwing out Congress' law banning guns within a certain distance of schools was ruled a rare overreach of the general welfare clause justifying domains of legislation for Congress.

To this day, the Supreme Court still acknowledges this principle, even if deliberate misinterpretations of things like General Welfare have voided most limitations.

Slightly warmer temps map to warmer seas, etc. But that is not the same as hyperventillation about storms and droughts rampaging across the planet.

The latter makes no sense. You are talking a fraction of a percent energy differences, which amounyts to almost nothing given the low and high emd of temps both rise a little.

Climate scientists, well many of them anyway, are apparently oblivious to this concept as well as regression to the mean. Expect maybe 1 extra hurricane per century, with an average storm strength increase of less than 1%.

This is a thermal sea expansion problem, not a weather severity problem.

I read a legal analysis of this -- when you are hired to act something, it's for that something, and the implied right of whoever hired you to twist it out of all recognition or use it for other things is not infinitely malleable, sans a speific contract for that.

So there is precedence for her to be able to put the brakes on it.

Is this one such case? Well, that's what's being decided.

"It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does? You do, baby! You do!"

And if he's really scared, he can just Bailey out of the agreement.

As an experiment, you should see if you can get started in San Francisco an outrage meme similar to Uber, but for unofficial K-cups.

"They aren't insured. What happens when one poisons someone? Ther's no guarantee. Any old person could make one in their home."

Same exact stuff the city council is so adamant about.

Politicians run scared -- all they need is for someone to whisper in their ear, "Imagine the next terrorist attack, and your opponent points out how you hampered the government investigation..."
