    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    And that slippage of polar air further south means it is being replaced by warmer air than is normal for the poles. {... The polar regions, particularly the Arctic, are experiencing significant temperature increases due to climate change. Recent studies indicate that the Arctic is warming...

    That is one of the problems, since it is handy for kids to have cellphones, in order to get messages, allow parents to track them, etc.

    Good point in that I got hooked on Pinterest, and not only are the short videos addictive, but you can just keep scrolling forever. I lose track of time constantly.

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    All of ICE has proven they are criminals, not just guilty of illegal beatings and murder, but in total violation of the Bill of Rights.

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    Its not just that Hillary went along with Bush on the fake claim of Iraqi WMD, but that under Obama she pushed for the coup by Sisi in Egypt that took out Morsei, she was behind Qaddafi being killed, she was after Assad, and she is the one who sent Ambassador Stevens to Benghazi to arm ISIS as...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    Yes, you turned out to be correct. Trump's first term was not that bad, but it could be from all the impeachments keeping him toned down.

    Good question, but I do not have an answer. On one hand, social media can improve the ability of all to communicate, including underage, but there is also the potential for cyber bullying and inappropriate sexuality. It also could reduce in-person skills.

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    Bill did pretty well, especially by paying down the national debt. I was less impressed with Hillary because of her "Arab Spring" wars.

    What to call this thread?

    It is interesting trying to decide what is fair? When I see Chaz Bono, clearly he should be using the men's bathrooms. But sports are more complicated. Tall people could be said to have an unfair advantage in basketball, but then again is being tall what we want society to select for? We do not...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    NBC is not the best source, nor is it very current. Trumps approval has recently been dropping. {... At the beginning of Mr Trump’s second term his net approval rating was 2. It has now fallen to -19, the lowest it has been this term. A week into Mr Trump’s term 37% of Americans thought the...

    I do not think this is going away. Too many people murdered and children separated from parents. Over 54 dead. 14 shot'

    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    That is true, but what they tell me is that slowing the velocity of the stack is what allows the smoke to cool and condense out the creosote crystals that block the flue eventually. The faster the exhaust velocity, the more it retains its heat and vaporized elements. I tend to favor tiny stoves...

    Actually I think Bernie Sanders has already looked into this and is pushing what he called "Medicare for All". I prefer the VA route since it has its own doctors who are likely underworked, and may not require any congressional change? But the popular reaction against ICE likely will change...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    I signed up for all the medical journals that the doctors at Biotronik knew about. Like "MedPage Today".

    The VA runs an insurance program in order to get coverage for family civilians. So if they can do that, they can sell insurance to anyone, and still not worry about their budget, since they could cover it all with the new premiums they could sell. The point being they would not have to double...

    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    I have also lived in lots of rural cabins with wood stoves. I never strip the bark off or worry about things like apple wood. I just have a large cylindrical wire brush on a chain I run through once a year, and never had any problem. I also find that 4" flue pipe will prevent soot build up more...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    Since I used to work for several medical industries, like Biotronik the German pacemaker company, I am sent all the medical journals. And it was obvious with Covid that the censorship kicked in and no one was allowed to even talk realistically about mRNA. The $60 billion both Moderna and Pfizer...

    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    Depends on the zoning. With reasonable zoning regulations so that houses are over 100' apart, I do not see how that could cause it to just from one house to another? Heat rises, even in 50 mph winds. And Hardiplank is great. {... HardiePlank cladding achieves a fire rating of A2 s1-d0...

    I agree Obama was not awful, and much better than Bush or Trump. Since the VA does the family of veterans who are not vets themselves, it would seem like Obama could have expanded VA accessibility without congressional approval?
