And recent history shows how well private inspections with government oversight works too. Boeing has proven it’s a superior model and private companies would never try to game the system.

Calling it domestic terrorism is more than a bit of a stretch. Who is it that feels terrorized that an unoccupied dealership was vandalized? The perpetrators should absolutely be charged for their crimes but talk about an abuse of the term

We can agree to disagree on hegemonic power being a bigger deal than dictators. But regardless, saying China is insular is ridiculous. They have a very public plan to expand their hegemony by taking over the infrastructure of other nations

I think (hope) most folks care less about the “attack on patriotic identity” and are more concerned that what is essentially a dictatorship is rising in power significantly. History has shown dictatorships rarely end well for the general po

I hope at this point people agree this has gone well beyond partisanship. Having a private citizen unilaterally gutting government agencies is an affront to the checks and balances of a functioning democracy.

This is essentially a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) with an app. The UPS basically passes power from the wall to your fridge until there's a power outage. At that point it flips to using the battery to send power to your fridge.

The point of decorum is is that a devolution of language tends to result in an escalation of aggression which frequently ends in physical violence. You generally don’t hear someone screaming “with all due respect I must disagree” before sho

It’s actually gone backwards since then. They removed things like the rain sensor for the automatic wipers, and turn signal and drive stalks. To improve the car? Nope, to cut dollars off the cost of a car that can hit six figures in price.

The entire US? I’ve been to Hawaii and hiked under turbines, no dead birds. I’ve been hunting in the midwest in fields, no dead birds. I’ve been hiking in Europe, no dead birds. Again, where is your citation? If birds are “piling up” they’

You haven’t, which is why you have no citation just a ridiculous, unproven anecdote. There are literally hundreds of turbines in my area, there are not and have never been “birds piling up under them.” Your own link further down estimates

Did you read a Donald Trump tweet? Because no reputable source has ever said wind turbines are a major risk to birds. If you’re trying to save birds, the first place you should be looking is outdoor cats. https://www.sibleyguides

Why do you think the US is going to remain in NATO for the next 4 years? Trump loves to say the quiet part out loud and he’s been repeatedly threatening to pull out.

I can’t imagine a lot of folks that excel at math and science are leaning hard into the party gutting the NSF and actively trying to undermine the entire scientific community.
