Tool used to purify and make sublime. I like to talk about economics, public policy, science, and philosophy.
The Retard Right is going to ignore this, but this by itself justifies the entire Iran war. Iran's military had developed missiles (IRBM) that were capable of traveling 3,700–4,500 km, depending on launch point inside Iran. Anyone questioning "imminent threat" has their answer.
Especially in light of everything that’s happening with Anthropic and the DoD, this part of Blackburn’s draft AI bill talking about nationalization if ASI is imminent is…notable.
The world is changing right in front of us and no one knows it. Texas is running its world-class economy on 70% renewables, right now. Gas is there if we need it, but for today, we can save the fuel for another day.
"Your medieval ancestors were based warrior-pilled aristocrats" and "your medieval ancestors worked 18 hours a day and all died before 30" are both locked in an endless struggle to determine who got their brain the most fried up
I remember back in 2008 when gas prices spiked. There were people selling their Hummers at a $15k loss. People were buying Priuses and talking about "hypermiling" by going 10 under the speed limit. But now if think if gas hit $10 a gallon nothing would happen. We luv our SUVs
SCOOP: The Pentagon asked the White House today for more than *$200 billion* for the Iran war supplemental, sources say Some White House aides think Congress won't support b/c it's so big Will tee up giant battle in Congress
@shanaka86 Sounds like a good time for an emergency waiver of ethanol requirements.
For the statistically illiterate. A million people in a state with 50 murders every year, your murder rate is 50 per million. Add a million immigrants who do 1 murder a year, total murders goes up to 51, but that's among TWO million people. Your rate is 25.5 per million. The number of murders goes up, but each person in the city is actually safer. More murders does not automatically mean more danger. Population size matters. If we kidnapped the entire population of Japan and brought them to America, our number of murders would go up (Japanese people commit about 250 murders a year), but we'd become a much safer country (the Japanese murder RATE is far lower). Oilfield Rando's argument (more murders automatically means more danger) is bad math.
To all who still don't get why renewable energy generation beats oil & gas hands down:
