Re: Crime and Punishment: Oklahoma (& Texas) style!

In Wyoming, over 1,500 acres of prime habitat was burned "accidentally" by a local farmer, burning his irrigation ditches. This fire was much more serious, cost the county, state and federal government millions, yet this farmer wasn't even prosecuted. What gives? The Yellowtail in Wyoming is also c...

I thought double jeopardy would apply in this case. They already served their time. now they have to go back. http://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2016-01-02/peaceful-protest-followed-by-oregon-wildlife-refuge-action?page=2 I would definitely thing double jeopardy applied in that case.

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Recent events have had me thinking about the Donald. I really like that he is completely fearless in speaking his mind. Dig into what he says (not what is reported by the leftist media) and he is usually correct in a profound way. But it disturbs me how artless he is saying it. He really needs to t...

Re: EMC2 news

Well I'll be damned, they finally got around to building an actual demo reactor. Looks like 2015 was spent securing funding and getting the required engineering talent together to actually build a working fusion reactor. Would also explain the lack of public information, they had to make sure they w...

Re: Crime and Punishment: Oklahoma (& Texas) style!

I would welcome anyone here to explain to me how Civil Asset Forfeiture depriving someone of their property without charge, trial, conviction could possibly be "due process of law" and therefore Constitutional? It's wrong as hell but because of the tricky wording involved it gets overlooked. They a...

Re: Crime and Punishment: Oklahoma (& Texas) style!

I like how Colorado is providing us so much concrete useful data on the effects of ending prohibition. I know we had the info from the 1920's era but that was a nation wide issue on multiple levels. Colorado gives us a much better localized experiment that we can compare and contrast with both itsel...

Re: why the deal with Iran

Skipjack going all nutty on this already. Iran almost certainly has soviet era nukes, whether they are actually operational or not is harder to tell. The triggers on those nukes need to be replaced at regular intervals, otherwise they degrade and run a big risk of the weapon not detonating. Iran may...

Re: LENR Is Real

I am one of those person who does not, and many other posters here are the same. After observing your interactions with those you oppose, I do believe you are precisely what I said. Your enemies could post a picture of a blue duck, and you would feel compelled to criticize it. Anyhow as I mentioned...

Re: why the deal with Iran

Anyone who thinks a religious leader is actually religious doesn't know geopolitics. They use religion to control the mass's and maintain their own power, they don't actually drink the koolaid. This is also why they always someone else to do their dirty work, you'll never see one of them go and blow...

Re: LENR Is Real

Nothing in science is finished, there is always room for a better deeper understanding and it's this understanding we should strive for, not bashing each other over the head for being right or wrong. The universe either is or is not, it doesn't give one iota to the strength and passion of ones argu...

Re: LENR Is Real

The problem of the experiments of Urutskoev and Cardone is that they never scaled up. This is not evidence that what happened at a smaller scale didn't exist, only that their understanding of the mechanic was incorrect....<snip> Not really, IMO. G's point about scale up is that it is a way to reduc...

Re: Programmers

Work dress is usually business casual or semi-casual, meaning jeans are ok as long as they are in good taste. Shits need to have a collar, so mostly polo's and button ups. If wearing sneakers they need to be laced and kept presentable. The overall theme seems to be a clean presentable, professional ...

Re: LENR Is Real

Appealing to the 'authority of Airbus' doesn't make LENR true. That only thing anyone has 'demonstrated' about LENR is so-called anomalous heat in very small systems where the errors in measurement might be responsible. Call me if it scales up. Too many people have tripped over similar results for ...

Re: Latest drug addict loons.

I thought it was generally understood that while cannabis impairs motor skills, it does so in a way that causes the user to compensate by slowing down. This would cause them to drive slower, and also to have a harder time driving in figure eights on a obstacle course with cones ... which is what tha...
