    Cops behaving badly ...

    ICE using Minnesota hospitals to arrest people. {... Officials with the Homeland Security Department said that they do not conduct operations in hospitals. “We go in if there is an active danger to public safety,” said Tricia McLaughlin, an agency spokeswoman. Health care workers, however...

    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    Not sure what you mean, but if you mean we have not yet quite doubled the CO2, the massive acceleration shows we soon will. With ocean level rise, remember that ice break off can only happen on the shoreline, not inland.

    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    If we go with the theory of proportionality, the normal warming from CO2 was calculated to be around 40 degrees F. So then by doubling the CO2, we will end up adding an additional 40 degrees F. Here is the average temperature range for New York State: {... The temperature range in New York...

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

    My assumption for Trumps popularity, as low as it is, has to do with the fact a lot of people in the US are racist and fascist, assuming they somehow deserve more than others. It is not hard to feed on racism, discrimination, bigotry, greed, etc. Next thing you know, Trump will be feeding people...

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

    All ICE agents have to know they are in violation of the law because none of them ever use judicial due process that the 4th, 5th, and 6th amendments require. What they claim is that illegal immigrants do not have rights, so they do not have to use judicial due process. And clearly that is...

    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    What worries me is that what CO2 does is not create heat, but prevent it from leaving so that it is retained. And we don't know how much heat will be retained until it reaches equilibrium. It could be like Venus, where heat was retained until it reached over 400 degrees F. In which case there...

    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    What was interesting to watch was that the meter turned backwards during the day when the solar was generating. I spent about $13k on the solar, and it slightly increased the value of the home when I sold it.

    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    When I did solar without batteries, the idea was that the local electric company got my excess generated electricity, and then returned it to me at night. My bill dropped from $80/month to $20/month, and the electric company essentially was my batteries. Their goal was to subsidize solar so that...

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

    At least one article claimed they were there only because one of their vehicles got stuck in the snow?

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

    Seems an odd strategy to me since it is bound to make fewer republican voter next election. The way ICE does not wear consistent and recognizable uniforms make then look ragtag, and the masks make them look like criminals.

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

    If all police had illegally interfered in the arrest of Chauvin, then all police should be arrested. But not all police did. Most police did the legal thing and arrested Chauvin. But all ICE are violating the law, and they knowingly do not use due process to get warrants. So they all know they...

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

    But Chauvin was arrested, tried, and convicted by other police. If other police had instead prevented the arrest of Chauvin, then I think they all would be guilty in the George Floyd case as well.

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

    As to driving being a privilege. I can see how the need can be absolute for some, especially in rural areas without mass transit. But I think the reason driving is considered a privilege is that it puts others at risk?

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

    My assumption is all ICE agents are local. That is what I have found to be true so far. Like Jonathan Ross was from Minneapolis. And the ICE agents in NM are from NM. All ICE agents already are party to crimes by past actions like Kilmar being sent to the max prison in El Salvador, without even...

    What to call this thread?

    Although I have heard of the Enigma Machine and Turing's part in over riding it, I actually do not care that much about it. What I like Alan Turing for was his creating of the actual first ever, general computer. He also created the first computer programming languages. {... Alan Turing's...

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

    Actually a driver's license is a privilege and not a right, so pretty much a governor can do what they want with them. If a license can be revoked over a crime like DUI, then it can be revoked over any crime. When he said "lose their immunity", that implies they will be charged with kidnapping...

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

    I suppose I should have said "abusive use of troops". I did not mind Eisenhower using troops in Arkansas in 1952 because were purely defensive. But I fear this going to be another illegal Kent State situation.

    Anthropogenic Global Warming ... how hot is it ?

    While the EV may provide a battery, it could not power the home when the vehicle is being driven or needs to be recharged, And you still need a power source to recharge, so are you suggesting each house have wind or solar? When I went solar in Edgewood NM, batteries for off grid would have been...
