    Space stuff (NASA, UKSA, CSA, ESA, etc)

    SpaceX just launched (and landed) another one: SpaceX to Launch Air Force's X-37B Space Plane on Secret Mission Today: Watch Live The article is a few hours old. I just watched the webcast myself live and they landed successfully. This was a "pad" landing, not at sea. It's still weird (but...

    Former President and Convicted Felon Trump Thread

    Couldn't find that Dave. Found this though on wikipedia: So Rudy has said he donated anonymously, but there's no evidence he did if it was from a personal donation rather than a foundation donation other than Rudy's word, whom is obviously biased. But even googling around I couldn't find a...

    There was the initial announcement, and then the "no he isn't," so I think this is the "actually yes it happened" on the donation thing? Trumps donate total of $1M to 12 Harvey relief charities I didn't see the "this is the final word" on this thing, then caught a political cartoon REFERRING...

    Sunspots active right now: I like the "earth" measurement on that.

    [Brazelton] Family Sues Apple for NOT Implementing Drive Detect Feature

    I didn't see a self-driving cars thread, so this is going here: House passes bill to speed deployment of self-driving cars Only? I would have guessed higher. In general, this may be a good thing (uniformity of regulation) or just another power-grab federally. I'm guessing its the latter...

    I'm sure you can google quickly for "20 songs who have lyrics you have been getting wrong for years!" (replace 20 with whatever number) They are LEGION.

    Energy - Fossil, Renewable, Nuclear

    ??? I don't think I mentioned bias at ALL in my post above, but hey, whatever. As for linked articles... ya, you're supposed to tear apart what people link with either logical argument, or other publications that contradict the assertions as presented. That's kind of what debate IS. So am I...

    Energy - Fossil, Renewable, Nuclear

    Mike, I'll give you lots of credit for this reply. You went and read the articles, and came up with something else to rebut with rather than just saying "A climate change denial blog? Not going to bother." You took the time. I applaud that. I'd rather have a discussion than people just...

    "Wrong" vs "Censorship"

    It's private business, no link to government (funding, etc), so seems fine to me. Free where to spend your dollar (and by extension, where NOT to) is another form of free speech IMO. So patrons are exercising that just fine by leaving. No reports (in what you linked, no reason to disbelieve)...

    I'm horrified that the article this one is writing about is written for a website that has my hometown in its name: Female genital mutilation defended in article on ‘Muslims in Calgary’ website That link is NOT to the offending article, but an article reporting about it. According to the...

    Weird weather

    Neat graphic. I like. Secondly, except for the fact that I have friends in the area, I kinda want that thing to trend north and go through Washington. All the hot air would fuel the storm even more!

    Energy - Fossil, Renewable, Nuclear

    This is a HUGE "citation needed" section here. Is it from the same people who said 97% of climate scientists agree on the general issue? If so, read this (or this, showing it's more like 0.3%, from the SAME DATA) and the links in there too. Media hyperbole on every new storm does not mean...

    Energy - Fossil, Renewable, Nuclear

    Because remember, only read what you agree with. Then you'll never need to think about WHY you agree with it, supporting evidence, etc. I'll just leave these graphs here from this article on the "denial blog" as you call it: You can read the rest of the article if you wish. You can...

    [News] The USA Police State will never satisfy its lust for beating, gassing, and imprisoning minorities

    I'd rather have nurses that were legally OK to have in chain-of-custody (or just a police escort to them), than police trained the other way. Too much other baggage with police, whereas you NEED documentation to even get the nurse there in the first place, and thus less likelihood of this type...

    [News] The USA Police State will never satisfy its lust for beating, gassing, and imprisoning minorities

    Jails often have infirmaries or other places for sick people with actual nurses, so not a big deal there. As for anybody else, they can serve a warrant to them to have it done at a hospital, and an officer can be present there. My point is that having the "Collection agent" also be an officer...

    So apparently Comey news isn't over: AP Fact Check: What Trump said about Comey, Clinton emails This will at least provide a new narrative.... for a week or so, until something else happens, on something unrelated. I predict: Russia
