  1. I’ve already invested all I want to in hot water heaters. Coal and gas plants are better situated to prosper as wind and solar fail. Geothermal sounds like a potential solution for areas that don’t have coal or gas, but it hasn’t been proven economically competitive where those are available. Who knows, it may be geothermal that saves us when the sun burns out.
  2. The IDF had a dilemma deciding how to respond to Iran's attack because while there are no Walmarts in Iran, there’s a Target on every corner.
  3. The first I heard of these residential applications was when it was reported that GW Bush had installed the system in his ranch house and therefore consumed much less energy than AlGore’s mansion in Tennessee. But the system described in mspart’s link is described as using the hot water to turn turbines, Maybe I don’t understand it though.
  4. Can it generate electricity cheaper than coal or natural gas? Or nuclear?
  5. Some poor souls would be a lot safer and happier if they leave the cooking to someone else.
  6. While congressional offices were probably not intended to be career positions, the power to limit their tenure is still in the vote. We need to change much more about how our government has devolved than just which greedy face occupies the office. Lobbyists, congressional staffers, and unelected bureaucrats throughout the executive agencies are unaccountable to the electorate and seemingly immune from prosecution. The Swamp, that blackmails, coerces, bribes, and sabotages the efforts of good governance is a larger problem and would be unaffected by, and possibly even benefit from, term limits.
  7. Did he say “don’t” again?
  8. If a wrestler wants to know how to win six world championships in a row, where else is there to go?
  9. It was easy to see what was necessary to avoid an airborne virus when we saw the suits worn by the level 4 lab techs and learned that a decontamination process was required to remove them.
  10. I think red lobster is the snowman. 3ptd is more like a less zany, better socialized bananas baksetball.
  11. How long till wrestling season?
  12. It takes diesel fuel to make wind energy.
  13. Is it a crazy thought that being the leading coordinator for terrorist attacks on Israel does not come with a long life expectancy?
  14. Uncle ben raden calls it an embassy, it’s other where described as a consulate annex building. Not an embassy, not a consulate, but an annex building.
  15. It was an attempt to inform you that many people recognize when you use an example for something it’s not an example of.
  16. They don’t call it an embassy; they have tried to call it a consulate, but otherwise have acknowledged that it had no diplomatic status.
  17. Just to be clear about the grave danger being discussed, an analysis of the causes of death for the trans folks was done. Other than natural causes, auto accidents ranked highest, then suicide, then murder by spouse or ex-lovers. Attacks over sexual preference deviancy were minuscule.
  18. Iran doesn’t call it an embassy strike, but you do.
