TBeats posted:Does a pardon clear your record of whatever you're being pardoned for or does it just keep you out of jail? Because Sheriff Joe likely won't do any time and if I understand it correctly, pardons don't erase convictions. I almost want it to happen, because it will show Trump that pardons are cool and good and make people like him, increasing his likelihood of pardoning himself.

Slim Pickens posted:He buys lovely cars and entertains ai by getting them running, as well as sharing drama from his mechanic jobs. He used to just drink and smoke weed, then started posting about worms in his skin and eyes and THOSE FUCKIN DOCTORS WON'T LISTEN TO ME and was finding socks everywhere and fired from his mechanic and waddaya know, he's been smoking meth for months! It spiraled into working for biker gangs and wandering through the jungle (a notoriously lovely homeless camp under I5 in Seattle) with the one high point being when he went to Nebraska to try to get a truck running in the fall. I think everyone's out of fucks to give for his situation anymore, it's basically the end of the worst-case goon in the well situation at this point. Yeah it used to be entertaining to watch him keep running various cars through willpower alone but once the meth revelation hit it stopped being funny very rapidly. Someone made a (imo correct) intervention phonecall because it was clear he was in serious poo poo mentally but he just kept on going. Poor guy.

NZ politics update: It's hosed. Our two left-wing parties, Labour and the Greens, have both had senior members resign in the last month. I think it would be charitable to say they're both in total disarray. Labour now have a new leader, a month out from the elections, and the Greens lost one of their two leaders. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11901089 Our current rightwing neowhatever bullshit National party is polling at 44 percent, Labour in the low thirties, and following the resignation, the greens are showing like 8 percent or something. Thanks to our MMP system, neither can form a government right now. What they need is the kingmaker, Winston Peters of New Zealand First. He's a crafty old dog and possibly NZ's most gifted politician. He's remained in Parliament as long as I can remember on an ultranationalistic kind of policy, appealing to old people and racists.I honestly don't know which way he's going to jump. He's been massively critical of the National-led government for a long time now, but it would be just like him to jump in with them simply to grab power. NZ First are currently polling near 10 percent, which I think is the highest on record, reflecting the country's dissatisfaction with the status quo. The country goes to the polls next month, so it'll be interesting to see what winds up happening. I will laugh forever if Winston demands he be made PM as a condition of forming a coalition.

Oh and in case anyone gives a poo poo, the reason one of NZ's politicians stepped down is because she openly admitted to benefit fraud to the tune of like $50 a week like 20 years ago. So my country still has some pretty good 'gently caress the poor' instincts going on.

Delizin posted:In good news: Army researchers made an aluminum nanomaterial to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen with no electricity or catalysts. 220kw of energy not counting heat like that's nowhere near fossil fuel levels but since it's acting as a cracker not a fuel that's not the point. I've been saying about hydrogen for years it's too expensive to create the hydrogen but jesus... this is good

Mr_Ruckus posted:Sounds like it could be a pretty good breakthrough if it works as they said. I'm impressed by what they've discovered, but remember - energy in = energy out. If it's just a matter of refining aluminium and reducing it to tiny particles, well, it's probably worth doing. If it turns out to get them to that state is massively energy intensive, it becomes less attractive. That's why none of those HHO or whatever they were, HOO? things never worked, because it took more energy to crack the water into hydrogen than you got energy in return. Entropy is a loving bitch.

Or, for something like fossil fuels, where they already exist, you only need to get a better return than pumping it out of the ground, not actually being produced. Which is why I was wondering about the processing cost of the aluminium - mining it is cheap by comparison.
