In my 49 laps around the sun, Ive never seen a utility pole "fall" unless it was struck by a vehicle. They don't rot and are treated against insects. Oh well. I wonder if the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection actually does anything about the thousands of acres that needs clearing?

Cant we just make that 30T by selling all the oil we steal from the countries we conquer?

Third paragraph made me lol. They're just going to have to shut everything down because they bankrupt. Even the utility poles randomly fall over!

MIT develops new way to remove CO2.

What with PG&E already sued into oblivion, who will be the scapegoat for this round of fire damage?

Google tells me that using a "Mag-Lock" is required for picking a lock. Have you tried that?

Or imagine another organization even more covert than the NSA, CIA, etc. Something he couldn't access. *dun dun dun*

Bethesda is not involved in The Outer Worlds.

No aliens? Bummer.

US Airforce gets its first anti-drone laser weapon.

My anecdotal impression of police, from watching lots of Live PD, is that female officers are much less likely to become angry and unnecessarily escalate the situation.

PG&E could turn off power again. You get what you ask for!

Should be the name of the political thread.

Yang explains Freedom Dividend. VOTE YANG!

I removed the old and install a new garage door opener for a neighbor lady down the street. Now I have to get my fireplace cleaned up and ready for winter.

Hmm, kill XP.

We'll pay you 125K to turn your face into robot skin. Uggo's need not apply. :P

Seriously, its a race to the bottom that includes the Speaker of the House being an intern Twitter troll and a four star general is trying to land zingers. smh. Aside, I propose Trump was the overcorrection to Obama.

We tried it in the 50's. Iirc, it was crazy unstable and eventually scrapped. Would be cool if someone worked out the problems with the design though.

The Army and a UFO Group are Investigating Something. Im intrigued that the Army is involved.

No, not really. Trump hasn't actually accomplished much of anything. He can say anything, but nothing actually happens besides a massive crescendo of piggy squealing noises. Its more a state of mind, once buttocks have become red and swollen, seemingly the only salve is to react in an opposite and angry manner. This very board is a microcosm of that. And its been mentioned that presidents don't actually have the power to act in fiat (except Obama) or even have to power to enact pet projects. So now what we see playing out in daily US politics is that no matter the idea, no matter who came up with it, the "other side" is instantly on the offensive. I feel the next administration will leverage this to show how "right" they were and how "wrong" the other side is.

I cant even convince our resident think tank that I like and want living expense money so Im not too hopeful about this Sisyphus-like discussion. Do you guys think only Trump / Repubs have bad ideas? People are people and everyone thinks their way is the right way to do things. Trump has exacerbated a fundamental breakdown in our ability to work together and imo, the Dems have "no choice" but to go hard in the opposite direction. Theres no middle ground left.

Pendulums swing, back and forth. For every perceived Trump wrongdoing, right or wrong, the Dems will grossly "correct" the "problems" by going in exactly the opposite direction. Our "great republic" has departed from any rational governance and now everything is a pissing contest that MUST be played out in the court of public opinion with maximum snark and minimum rationale. We'll see if Im right in 2-3 year, and I hope Im not.

Lols. Another day, another existential crisis for the republic? Pants are REALLY going to be soiled when you see the crazed overcorrection of the next Dem president.
