Milo and POTUS posted:I did 2 weeks there years ago now and it turns out there was a fire either right before or even during my trip cuz I remember our group number which was start date (I think) and a couple of other identifiers. What year? In other current events, Cinnamon Bun Oreos are amazing.

Current event I hate traffic check points. They set up on route 83 outside Chicago and made a dumb traffic jam at 1130pm. Great job you dipshits. Exactly what I want to do after working a double is get interrogated by some veiny necked suburban cop.

Speaking of coal getting it's poo poo pushed in. https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/6/1/17416444/net-power-natural-gas-carbon-air-pollution-allam-cycle If that's to be believed it's a new type of natural gas power plant with zero atmospheric carbon release, higher energy efficiency, lower initial capital outlay and smaller physical foot print. It's pretty wild.

They actually use the carbon dioxide exhaust as the means of driving the power turbine. I was skeptical at first, but once I got down to the explanation of how it works yeah this is loving revolutionary. Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Jun 2, 2018 |

But the issue is most of the natural gas fields leak like a sieve, and even more now that funding has been cut for NASA/EPA monitoring of those gasses.

Is there a breakdown of where most gas gets used? We won't be able to do a 100% switch to electric cars anytime soon because of how big and spread out we are, but how big of an impact would switching over all the cars in urban areas be?

"Bofa Deez Nutz" klingt wie "Both of these nuts", eine Anspielung auf Hoden. Siehst du, Amerikaner sind regelrecht betört von jeder Form von Witzen, die Hoden, oder - in der Tat - den allgemeinen Genitalbereich involvieren. Kürzlich haben sie einen Präsidenten gewählt, der nachhaltig am positiven öffentlichen Eindruck seiner Genitalien interessiert ist. Furz.

Proud Christian Mom posted:the names Whoa yeah, now I see it. Thanks! I'm surprised, with the stereotype of Americans being more prude than Europeans and horse racing (In my mind) being a more conservative leaning sport, I would have thought that the race officials would have banned those names for being too lewd.
