I don't know why he's getting so upset about it, if he wants to appeal to the people who think the system is broken he should by all means show exactly how he gamed the system and got away with paying little/no taxes. He already bragged in the past about bribing politicians for favors. If he did anything illegal you would think the audits would have found it, so the only reason left to hide them is if it hurts his claims about his net worth, but his supporters aren't going to care about that. The longer he hides it the worse it is. Even if there was something bad, embrace it from day one so your detractors have nothing to fan the fire with.

Assy's still angry that mommy C didn't have his back after he breached her department's security and blames her for his current situation. Hence why Wikileaks will post any anti-Clinton thing they get their hands on, no matter how obviously shaky it is.

I almost have to wonder if Trump is a brilliant, leftist, performance artist. He's seen what happens to other billionaires who publicly lean left, so instead of losing credibility with the right, he becomes an icon. What better way to bring back the high income tax from the early 1900s than to have an actual robber baron broadcasting his sliminess around the world? It's genius! Also, much love to Wells Fargo for getting in on the action.

grumplestiltzkin posted:This is badly, deeply wrong. The coolant is only going to be able to transfer a certain amount of heat out of the engine block depending on air flow/thermal properties of engine block (which is why iron vs aluminum matters) and coolant, and a few other things. It is 100% possible for your engine to be producing more heat than the radiator can transfer out, which is why overheating is a thing. Water is not some magical fluid that can completely remove 100% of heat generated. That's why cars have temp gauges. I'm not talking about the engine producing more heat than the radiator can transfer out. I'm saying that the coolant inside the engine can't lag significantly behind the temperature of the metal it's running through. I was specifically addressing the comment that an aluminum engine block/head can get hotter faster than the coolant running through it.

I was specifically addressing the comment that an aluminum engine block/head can get hotter faster than the coolant running through it. You're still wrong either way, though. The coolant can only transfer so much heat out of the engine at a time. If the engine is producing more heat than the coolant can extract, the engine heats up. That's literally the definition of an overheating engine. edit: WRT to iron/vs aluminum, iron has a thermal conductivity of ~31-73, while aluminum has a thermal conductivity of ~204-249. Material absolutely does make a huge difference in the rate that different substances will heat up/transfer heat.

Less pro-Putin, more anti-America. Assange is a prima donna who just wants attention, and he'll do whatever it takes to get it. Unfortunately, this means Wikileaks is only really valuable to non-American interests.

The pro trump narrative on twitter right now is that he was a genius to use the system to get out of paying taxes Also white supremacists are already against paying taxes so of course they love it when their candidate scams his way out too.

Hell, Republicans are bitching about the 9/11 law they overrode Obama's veto on, and blaming Obama because the law might have unintended consequences. So, in effect, they wrote a bill, passed it, Obama vetoed it, they OVERRODE the veto, and they are now blaming the president for the law they fought tooth and nail to get.

The schadenfreude is probably that this "let's sue governments over acts of terror" legislation is going to lead to suits against the US. In fact, those are probably some of the unintended consequences Obama was weary of. And it's probably precisely why those who voted for it (everyone, not just Republicans - this was a near unanimous vote!) are now showing regret and a desire to change the bill. But who could resist the sweet chance of voting FOR 9/11 victims?

Yea, Harry Reid of all people was the voice of reason in the senate. Now Turtle Mcghee and Ryan are pissing and moaning because the president didn't tell them it was a bad idea, which he kinda did, back when he said "I'ma veto this poo poo, it's a bad idea".

TotalLossBrain posted:Which is extra schadenfreude because those guys voted for that bill before it ever got to Obama's desk to veto in the first place. This is the best part.

Yup. 28 senators sent a pissy letter saying that it would potentially harm US sovereignty overseas and lead to problems, which is THE EXACT REASON OBAMA SAID HE WAS GONNA VETO IT. It's kinda amazing the sheer amount of cognitive dissonance they have going on.

Think you're all missing the part where refusing to vote in favour of the 9/11 bill would've been a political hot potato they really didn't want their opponents (particularly in re-election campaigns) catching and using against them. And before you suggest they should all have voted against it: there were going to be people voting for it regardless.
