I'd say MinistryofTruth speaks well:

I don't watch Fox. I can't stand any of their programs, its too far right and typically also borderline insane. I listen to NPR and read my news at BBC or Reuters. Sorry. I still don't perceive Obama as doing anything.
Ok, I stand corrected. Regarding nothing getting done: true to some degree but do you think anything the president wants to do is going to make it through the House right now? Don't think so.
Also, our economy literally has little to do with the our current president and more to do with congress since the debt is their responsibility. Under Bush and his "executive branch has all the power" regime along with the republican ruled Senate at the time it pretty much ruined our economy, but so far Obama has done nothing to make it better other than pretend to get congress to "get along" and "compromise".
You don't see the disconnect with your own thoughts there? I will agree he needs to cut out the 'get along' bs and ram things through congress.
he doesn't do and hasn't done ANYTHING. He'd rather go on vacation...
dude, you need to cut back on the Faux news.
But if you place a windmill farm within sight of the prarie, this feeling of it being untouched will be lost.
Sorry that feeling is already lost. As I've actually traveled around the Flint Hills (further north than this proposed wind farm) you'll find the previous centuries oil rush junk abandoned everywhere. That and the power lines crisscrossing the landscape further spoils the view.
I've found the view of vast grasslands dotted with giant windmills rather attractive. Here is a picture I took from the Beaumont wind farm:

Thats about 150 miles north of the Osage area.
How many ducks and deer do you think there *are*? I
We've got more deer than we know what to do with here in the midwest (KS/NE/MO/IA). Sending the teaming hordes.
I believe you would typically fix that by finding the breaker box, determining which breaker that socket is on, and replacing the 30A (or whatever it is) breaker with a 20A.
True.
However I've seen outlets burn up even when properly sized wires and breakers were used. In one case the outlet was very old and brittle, the other cases have been cheap sockets. In all cases it appears that a poor (sloppy/loose) connection between the plug's blade and the socket led to arcing.
That's why you should spend more than $0.49 for an outlet. That $3 commercial grade outlet really is worth it.
Twenty to thirty years ago you could still get actual news out of the newspaper or television. These days you gotta dig long and hard, intentionally and carefully, for the few nuggets lost in the slurry of spin, opinion, and the almighty Sports & Entertainment.
Not sure we've ever gotten actual news from the media outlets. By 'actual news' I am referring to the unbiased and accurate reporting of an event. There is and always will be a spin on the news. That can simply be not reporting all the details of an event, which leads to a reader's bias. It's interesting to read newspapers from decades, or even a century ago.
Referring to people trying to emulate classic shots as "illegal by US copyright laws and common decency"... What a load of horsefeathers.
Agreed. Ken seems to be getting more and more unhinged these days. He must be forgetting his meds.
Bzzzt, wrong. Maybe you better spend a few more minutes outside after looking at that computer monitor. It takes awhile for your eyes to dark adapt.
I live in the midwest where we do get a bunch of moisture in the air. While it does affect the transparency of the atmosphere only about 1 magnitude is lost.http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/astro/transpa
What makes the increased moisture level bad is the local light pollution that now has additional particles (of water) to reflect off creating a 'less dark' sky.
