@GuntherEagleman Useless breather.

Meet Ketanji Brown Jackson, the dumbest Supreme Court judge in history. A DEI appointee.

@Rainmaker1973 We've already determined that the particles currently being injected into our skies, to allegedly induce cooling, is harmful to humans and our food supply. You want to inject something else? SO2 did you say? Oh, I'm sure that'll never harm people or crops, right? Right? Right?

Existing aircraft like the Boeing 777 could be used to help cool the planet. A new modeling study from University College London suggests that stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) — a form of solar geoengineering — could be carried out using modified commercial jets, such as the Boeing 777F freighter, without needing to build expensive, specialized high-altitude aircraft. The technique mimics the cooling effect of large volcanic eruptions by releasing sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere. Once released, it forms tiny reflective particles (aerosols) that scatter sunlight back into space, reducing the amount of heat reaching Earth’s surface. Traditionally, SAI was thought to require flights above 65,000 feet (20 km) in the tropics. However, researchers found that injecting particles at a lower altitude of about 43,000 feet (13 km) over the polar regions (around 60°N and 60°S) could still achieve meaningful cooling. This altitude is within reach of existing wide-body jets like the Boeing 777 after modifications. According to the simulations, releasing approximately 12 million metric tons (about 13 million US tons) of sulfur dioxide per year — primarily during spring and summer in each hemisphere — could lower global temperatures by roughly 0.6°C (about 1.1°F), similar to the temporary cooling caused by the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption.

@DavefromEpping @lippyent "That's funny right there."

@lippyent this.... 😊

Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@lippyent Pineapple, fresh ground black pepper, and salt to taste.

The Framers may have a disagreement with your analysis. Let's see what SCOTUS says, shall we? If SCOTUS comes back with a finding that happens to align with the current progressive agenda, progressives will be ecstatic. However, should SCOTUS come back with a finding that is repugnant to progressives, you will never hear the end of the feigned outrage, missing and moaning. Progressives will probably institute violence in our cities, paid for by other progressive rich people. I'm just sayin'.

Go with me for a second on the birthright citizenship scenario — simple version. You’re saying citizenship should depend on whether someone is here “legally.” Okay. Who defines “legal”? Congress. And Congress can change that definition anytime. Now fast forward 25–30 years. A different political wave takes over, not your side. Let’s say a very aggressive left-wing government. They decide certain groups are a “problem” or “historically harmful” or “overrepresented.” So they pass a law redefining “legal presence.” Not by geography. Not by birth. By criteria like: — ideology — ancestry — demographic quotas — “equity” frameworks Sounds crazy but we’ve literally done versions of this before, go see the Chinese Exclusion Act. Now under YOUR framework: Only people who meet this new definition of “legal” are considered fully “subject to jurisdiction.” Everyone else are not legal therefore not covered so their kids don’t get citizenship. So you now have: A child born in the U.S. Grew up here Never left Knows no other country But not a citizen… because Congress changed a definition of what legal means. Nothing about the child changed. Only politics did. That’s the entire problem with your argument. You’re turning citizenship from a constitutional guarantee into a policy lever. And policy levers get pulled. The 14th Amendment was written specifically to stop that, to make citizenship automatic at birth so it couldn’t be manipulated by whoever happens to be in power. Because once you let Congress define “who counts,” you’re not protecting citizenship anymore even for yourself.

Deutschland plant, das Braunkohle-Tagebau Hambach um 2030 zu fluten und über 1,1 Milliarden Tonnen förderbare heimische Braunkohle unter einem 360 Meter tiefen Freizeitsee aus Rheinwasser dauerhaft zu versenken. Vorteile: • Landschaftsrenaturierung: Der erschöpfte Tagebau wird zu einem großen See (lang geplante Rekultivierung). • Klimaschutz: Vermeidung hoher CO₂-Emissionen durch Braunkohle, den schmutzigsten fossilen Brennstoff. • Erneuerbare decken bereits ~56–58 % des Stroms (Wind von Enercon/Nordex/Vestas; Solar größtenteils aus China). Windanlagen gleichen ihren gesamten CO₂-Fußabdruck (Herstellung, Transport, Installation, Wartung) in ca. 6 Monaten aus; Solar in 1–2 Jahren. Nachteile: • Verzicht auf günstige, zuverlässige heimische Grundlast – bei Großhandelspreisen von ~89 €/MWh im Jahr 2025 (+14 % zum Vorjahr). • Stärkere Abhängigkeit von wetterabhängigen Erneuerbaren plus importiertem Gas (Norwegen/US-LNG), ohne neue Kernkraft und mit Netz- und Versorgungsproblemen. • Kurzfristige Belastung für Energiepreise und Unabhängigkeit. Die Entscheidung opfert kurzfristige Versorgungssicherheit und günstige Preise für langfristige Dekarbonisierung und Renaturierung. Politiker debattieren bereits Verzögerungen beim Kohleausstieg im Westen bis 2030. Lohnt sich das? #Hambach #Energiewende #GermanyEnergy

Germany plans to flood the Hambach open-pit lignite mine around 2030, permanently burying over 1.1 billion tonnes of producible domestic coal under a 360 m deep recreational lake fed by Rhine water. Pros: • Restores the exhausted pit into a large lake (long-planned reclamation). • Reduces high-CO₂ emissions from lignite, the dirtiest fossil fuel. • Renewables already cover ~56–58% of electricity (wind from Enercon/Nordex/Vestas; solar mostly from China). Wind offsets its full lifecycle carbon footprint in ~6 months; solar in 1–2 years. Cons: • Forgoes cheap, reliable domestic baseload energy while wholesale prices averaged ~€89/MWh in 2025 (up ~14% y-o-y). • Increases dependence on variable renewables + imported gas (Norway/US LNG), with no new nuclear and grid/security challenges. • Short-term hits to affordability and energy self-sufficiency. This decision trades immediate security and lower costs for long-term decarbonization and restoration. Policymakers are debating delays to the 2030 western coal exit. Worth it? #Hambach #Energiewende #GermanyEnergy

Germany's largest open-pit mine sits on more than 1 billion tonnes of extractable lignite. But starting in 2030, Rhine water will flood the pit, creating a 360-metre-deep lake. It's not a coincidence that the state's environmental ministry where the mine is located (Nordrhein-Westfalen) is led by the Green party. The same political class that dynamited functioning nuclear cooling towers is now drowning a billion tonnes of domestic fuel under a recreational lake. Once the pit fills, the coal beneath becomes permanently inaccessible. No future government can reverse a 360-metre column of water. The decision to flood Hambach is the deliberate, irreversible destruction of a strategic reserve, executed by politicians who price energy security at zero.

@BarackObama ANY... candidate endorsed by Mr. Obama, a fraud, is not a candidate you want for America's betterment.

Wisconsin Supreme Court justices have a profound responsibility: protecting the rights of the people and delivering on the promise of equal justice under the law. Judge Chris Taylor is the only candidate running for Wisconsin’s Supreme Court with a proven record of delivering on that promise. I hope Wisconsin voters join me in supporting her candidacy for Wisconsin’s highest court. Election Day is April 7th — make your plan to vote now. myvote.wi.gov/en-us/

I got 6 points,YOU?

@lippyent We used them as paper weights in the 60's and 70's. They are insulators for telephone poles running electrical lines. It was a crime to shoot them off the pole.

What the Heck is it? Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@gothburz Not a very good 1 April joke. Quite lame actually.

I am the Acting Deputy Director of Case Prioritization at the Department of Justice. My job didn't exist four months ago. It exists now because the cases don't. We dropped 23,510 criminal cases. That's not a typo. Twenty-three thousand five hundred and ten. We call it "resource-aligned docket management." The memo went out in February. Seven pages. Printed on 24-lb bond paper. The word "drop" appears zero times. The word "efficiency" appears forty-one times. The word "victim" appears zero times. I counted. Twice. Here is how you reprioritize. You fire 1,500 federal prosecutors. That's "workforce optimization." Then the cases those prosecutors were handling no longer have prosecutors. That's a "resourcing gap." Then you close the cases because nobody is assigned to them. That's "docket hygiene." I didn't drop a single case. I eliminated the people who carry them. That is efficiency. Some of those 23,510 cases were fraud. Some were drug trafficking. Some were violent crime. All of them were active. All of them had defendants. All of them had victims who were told the system was working. The system was working. We fixed that. We rehired some of the prosecutors. As contractors. Lower pay. No benefits. No caseload continuity. We call that "flexible talent deployment." The contractors cannot access the old case files without submitting a PRISM-4 clearance request. Average processing time: eleven weeks. A prosecutor named Sarah — a contractor now — came to my office last Tuesday. She had been building a wire fraud case for fourteen months. Seven defendants. Two cooperating witnesses. She needed access to her own discovery files. I told her to submit a PRISM-4. She said the statute of limitations runs in nine weeks. I said the processing time is eleven weeks. She stared at me. I said the process is the process. She asked what happens to the case. I said the case resolves itself. She asked what "resolves itself" means. I said it means efficiency. She left. The case was marked "resolved" the following Thursday. That is efficiency. My team built a dashboard. It tracks "case resolution velocity." Every dropped case counts as resolved. Our resolution rate is up 340% since January. The dashboard has a green banner at the top that says "Justice Delivered" in Calibri Bold. I chose the color. It is the same green as the DOJ seal. I presented the numbers at the All-Hands last Tuesday. The Acting AG called it "the most significant efficiency gain in modern DOJ history." He's right. 23,510 cases resolved in one quarter. No trials. No discovery. No convictions. He asked how we achieved this. I said we achieved it by reducing prosecutorial capacity. He said to write that differently. I wrote "optimized resource allocation." He said perfect. That is efficiency. I have a Slack channel called #docket-zero. It has 43 members. We are three weeks ahead of schedule. The schedule is the date by which all pending cases will be resolved. Resolved means dropped. The schedule is ambitious. We are ahead of it. A woman called my office last week. Her son was the victim in one of the 23,510 cases. She asked when the trial was. I told her the case had been resolved. She asked if the defendant was convicted. I said the case was resolved. She said that isn't what she asked. I said resolution takes many forms. She asked what form this took. I told her we had optimized the docket. She hung up. I have a Post-it note on my monitor that says "23,510 / 0." The first number is the cases resolved. The second is the number of people I have to explain it to. That is the metric. I report it every Friday. The number on the left goes up. The number on the right stays at zero. That is efficiency. Someone in the All-Hands asked about the victims. The question was captured in the feedback log. The feedback log is reviewed quarterly by a committee. The committee last met in November. Of a year I cannot identify. 23,510 cases. 1,500 prosecutors. One memo. Zero convictions. Zero trials. Zero victims contacted. I got a new title out of this. Before, I was a GS-14 scheduling analyst who managed room bookings. Now I am the Acting Deputy Director of Case Prioritization. The promotion came with a 22% raise and a parking spot in the garage. Spot number 114. It has my name on a temporary placard. The placard says "Acting." Nobody has told me what I am acting as. I am the prioritization. I have never prosecuted anyone. I have never tried a case. I have never met a defendant or a witness or a victim. That is why they promoted me. That is efficiency.

You might have missed a little issue. It seems that American and Canadian cities don't currently have the heating pipe infrastructure. It would have to be conceptualized, designed, then approved by government. Ground selected and planned for, then approved by government. Construction started and each phase approved by government. Work completed, then approved by government. So we are now 20 years down the road, no homes have been connected yet. See the problem? I'll give you a clue. It's not the engineers.

The constraint isn't heat. Heat is a product. Europe already knows this: Finland heats 250,000 people from data center waste heat, Denmark heats 11,000 homes, Germany mandates 20% waste heat recovery by 2028, and it costs 12-30 €/MWh — cheaper than gas boilers. You don't need to launch chips into space at billions in cost. You need to put data centers next to cities and pipe the heat into district heating systems. Free cooling for the chips, free heating for the people. Musk wants to reject waste heat into infinity. Europe turns it into warm showers. One is a business plan for SpaceX. The other is common sense.

Every AI company on Earth is fighting the wrong war. They think the constraint is power. It is not. The constraint is heat. xAI holds permits for 41 natural gas turbines in Mississippi drawing over a gigawatt to run Colossus. A significant fraction of that energy does not run computation. It runs cooling. Chillers. Fans. Water. Heat exchangers. The infrastructure required to prevent silicon from destroying itself with its own waste heat. Every hyperscaler faces the same wall. Data center electricity is projected to double to 945 terawatt-hours by 2030 per the IEA. Transformer lead times run three years. Grid queues stretch four. Every new gigawatt of cooling requires permits from communities that do not want it. This is why Musk announced on March 21 that 80% of Terafab’s planned output will go to space. The reason is one equation. P equals epsilon sigma A T to the fourth. Stefan-Boltzmann. In vacuum, radiation is the only cooling mechanism. And it scales with the fourth power of temperature. Raise a chip from 80 degrees Celsius to 120 and radiated power per square meter nearly doubles. Not because you added hardware. Because physics did the work for free. The D3 chip being designed for Terafab’s orbital satellites will run hotter than any terrestrial processor specifically to exploit this. At 100 degrees Celsius with emissivity 0.90, a satellite rejects 100 kilowatts of waste heat through roughly 100 square meters of radiator. No water. No fans. No grid. No permits. SpaceX confirmed this number on March 22. The 100-kilowatt AI Mini Satellite render shows a radiator of approximately 100 square meters, described as “quite small relative to the solar panels.” Energy collection requires area. Heat rejection barely registers. On Earth, cooling scales linearly. Double the compute, double the infrastructure, double the resistance. In vacuum, the heat sink is the cosmic microwave background at 2.7 Kelvin. It is infinite, free, and already built. The Sun delivers 1,366 watts per square meter continuously in orbit with zero weather and zero night. But energy was never the real bottleneck. The real bottleneck was always thermodynamics demanding that waste heat go somewhere, and on a planet with an atmosphere, somewhere does not scale. In vacuum, somewhere is everywhere. Terafab targets one terawatt per year of compute. The entire United States grid runs roughly 0.5 terawatts. The orbital mass required demands tens of thousands of Starship flights annually, which skeptics call absurd until they learn propellant costs run single-digit millions per launch while the US industrial oxygen market alone exceeds fourteen billion dollars a year. The only bottleneck is Starship reusability, and Falcon 9 booster B1067 just flew for the 34th time on March 30. The company pursuing this operates the only reusable orbital rockets in existence, flies more than ten thousand satellites with autonomous collision avoidance executing 300,000 maneuvers per year, and is designing chips purpose-built for vacuum thermal regimes. The race to artificial general intelligence will not be won by the company with the most GPUs. It will be won by the company that solved cooling. And there is exactly one that plans to manufacture its own silicon, launch it on its own rockets, and reject its waste heat into infinity at the fourth power of temperature. T to the fourth. Remember that exponent.

@MbarkCherguia Oohhh yeah. That little sh*t needs some serious correction. I don't think this is the last we'll see of him in this current judicial climate.

WATCH🚨: Police officer facing heavy online backlash over his aggressive arrest of this teenager 🚔 Do you see a problem here?

We are doing a scientific research right now and we need your honest answer (for males only): which coordinates do you piss in?

@lippyent Liver.

Tuna noodle casserole! Hmm 😒 🤔?!?

@Matt_Pinner Why do you assume they haven't or are not here currently? If they have the technology to get here, they couldn't adapt or disguise to appear like us? History is replete with reports of those decending from the sky.

If aliens exist, why haven’t they visited Earth?

@NewswirePatriot Nope. ETS (Exit The Service) for them, under a General Discharge. Not Honorable Discharge. If you can not commit to the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, see ya. ( The Commander In Chief is NOT a domestic enemy ).

Some Muslims in the US Military are asking to be classified as "Conscientious Objectors," arguing that fighting other Muslims violates their conscience and religious beliefs. ❓️: Should Muslim Service Members be granted this special exemption?

As a Firefighter/EMT, not a Medic, over 18 years, I assisted in hundreds of intubations on trauma and medical patients. Succinylcholine administered to either type patient, most in sever pain, stopped all motion, except for the heart. That paralytic is short acting and we provided ventilation while the patients were under. Other paralytics are not short acting.

@PJSMusic @Notwokenow Colinergic blockers like these ones can’t overwhelm the sympathetic reflex induced by pain or hypoxia, the patient wakes up when it happens even with high doses.

Do you believe there are doctors who would let you die (or worse) for the sake of harvesting organs? Not just in Canada or Spain, but here in the US?

@b3a5tc0c @Notwokenow That's the hope. Not the reality. Do you actually think the "medical profession" is too dumb to get away with it? That society wants to even conceive the possibility that our doctors would even consider it? Follow the money. Who benefits?

@PJSMusic @Notwokenow Brain death exams are only performed under the influence of no drugs and they are typically done by at least 2 and sometimes 3 independent physicians.
