Comment What if I can visualize the entire apple.. (Score 1) 243

from the bursts on the bottom (I count five) to the aphid crawling through the fuzz at the base of the stem? You can compare a photo of an actual apple to see if five is the correct number of corners on the turned up skin at the bottom of the apple, but a wrong number of corners just means I have better creative imagery and the correct number would simply mean that I have better memory.

You don't have to like FNC to see where the hate comes from. People like Bahbus have always been with us: When Margarete Sanger wanted to use abortion clinics to eliminate the genetically inferior, the spirit of Bahbus was already with her. And when Democrats worked with Russian and Ukranian assets to create a fiction piece with which they could tie an opposing presidential candidate to the Russian government, the spirit of Bahbus remained. Objects like Bahbus cannot let go of the propaganda that they paid for because, well, they paid for it. And if you look at the conversation above, you'll find out that their spirit controls more minds in this discussion than not, ie, there majority of this discussion is merely taking direction. I like to call them clapping seals. Throw them a fish before they burn your city down.

Comment Zoological transmission can happen in a lab (Score 1) 357

The ridicule team continues to ignore the fact that zoological transmission can happen in a lab: -If you wanted to find out HOW a virus might transmit between species in nature, your experiment would include exposing various species that lived somewhat near the origin species.- And the reason the ridicule team ignores this is because it's the most plausible explanation. It needs the false dichotomy of "genetically engineered vs everything else, with us representing everything else" to sound smart.

Comment Re: Supreme Court's War on America (Score 1) 122

"The Supreme Court is now writing laws rather than just determining constitutionality. They have usurped Congress and the Executive branches." This is the same thing the right said for the fifty years preceding this supreme court. To include non-contiguous waters and non-waters in an assessment of navigable waters isn't brilliant, it's just a lie. There's no counter argument, because there's no statement of fact within your assessment. Anything you'd like to add would be an attempt to build upon a foundation that doesn't exist.

So we're just going to ignore the fact that rules that govern navigable water are meant to govern water that's...navigable. Your argument implies that somehow the Supreme court made it impossible to put a boat through those wetlands. We could all agree that governing these areas as navigable with a sham from the start, and you could go to work writing new laws that govern non-navigable wetlands, but it's easier just to blame the Supreme Court for being...rational?

Comment This shouldn't be an issue. (Score 0) 292

We already had a bulb ban that affected nearly every household bulb larger than 25W. Why 25W? Because that's a common "appliance bulb" that was used in gas ovens and refrigerators.CFLs hated the cold of the refrigerator, and the heat of an oven would destroy those. The greatest and perhaps most overlooked issue of the ban was its effect on people using 100W bulbs to heat their pump house / well house / meter house. The most common solution, wrapping the trouble spot with heat tape, complicated maintenance. Most people adapted. By the time a new politician lifted restrictions, LEDs had become a cheap enough solution that most homeowners weren't going back.So why re-implement that ban, if not for political reasons?
