lightpole posted:Depends on what you're talking about. For power plants it's piped in. In Reno, the pipeline we were connected to extended from Canada in Tuscarora's pipeline. Also worked on gas compression in Wyoming for the REX for Kinder Morgan I think. That one extends from Wyoming to the end user on the USEC. In Europe the pipelines extend from Russia into Europe and there has been friction over the construction of new ones since one moves through Ukraine, which Russia wants to handicap. One interesting take on this that I've seen is Singapore, which is maintaining a massive strategic reserve of LNG designed to feed its plants directly. I'm sure there's a mechanism to regassify it locally, but it isn't meant to be fed into the mains.

Immanentized posted:The Atlantic seems to publish this same loving article every 9 months since the Rolling Stone article a few years back. It's such a weird pet peeve of theirs and they've wasted so much ink on centerist-conservative hand wringing, that I think it's their main draw for subscribers at this point. Did you guys actually read the article? She's pointing out how dumb it was that this idiot was able to run to the Title IX office and get that girl kicked out of school because the university operates on the assumption that whoever reports first is the victim. The guy who has successfully sued a bunch of other universities over this stuff has taken up her case, and there's a recent circuit court ruling that tells universities to stop being dumb about this stuff.

Arven posted:A lot of the mainline protestant churches are starting to eschew traditional services and adopting modern American evangelical practices in order to try to attract new members or bring people back. Instead, the more secular people tend to stop going when the organ and hymns are replaced with bad Christian rock music and the collection plate is now accompanied by a hard sell on tithing. It's really funny because a bunch of conservatives are writing think pieces that assert that a lack of belief in God is tied solely to the socially conservative positions of modern Christianity. While that's certainly part of it, there's also, you know, the whole lack of empirical evidence that God exists.

Crakkerjakk posted:I mean, Joe Arapaio was just pardoned for criminal contempt of court. But for the regular version, yes, the court could order you detained until you answered questions to the Court's liking, but that's not a recipe for "now tell us everything you know" as opposed to dragging info out bit by bit with little way to verify the truth. Criminal contempt is different from contempt of court, though.

Casimir Radon posted:Future constitutional amendments we ought to have: In a hypothetical universe where we make it through the Trump administration in one piece, I can see a constitutional amendment modifying the pardon powers substantially to include something like confirmation by the Senate. In fact, post-Trump, assuming the current Republican party implodes, I could see Congress removing a lot of power from the executive.

Going to be a lot of would-be Paul Ryans too toxic to win a senate election. Trump has definitely been the anti-Reagan to millennials. What is it, something like 63% of people under the age of 40 voted for Clinton? Too bad boomers are going to live pretty long. But generation X is already well on its way to drinking and injecting itself to an early grave.

Sacrist65 posted:This it it guys. This is what will convince the majority of Republicans to put country over party. Truly a watershed moment for American politics. Every real Republican has abandoned the party over the last 18 months. All of my Republican friends from college have disavowed their party and either vote Democrat or Independent. A few older Republicans that I know were delusional and believed that Trump was good for business until he executed his tariffs that hurt their businesses personally; now they just mutter about Obama's EPA while weeping silently. What few rational Trump voters existed have since soured on him. The only people left supporting Trump are the irredeemable dregs of American society who label any Republican who doesn't vote lockstep with their president a RINO and somehow thinks privatizing the VA is a good idea. I grew up in Trump's America; half of my extended family voted for him. They're the all the loving worst.

Hot Karl Marx posted:He's banning German luxury vehicles too remember. Don't know how that's gonna work but he said it Most German luxury cars are based on the popular platforms that are already produced to some extent at their factories in the states. It wouldn't be hard to shift production. The problem is that this will probably create 1000 more jobs, versus the tens or maybe even hundreds of thousands (when you include suppliers) that would be lost if he does away with the auto import duty exemptions. And this is to say nothing of the ripple effect that the decreased sale of new cars will have on the rest of the economy, such as dealerships, transportation, and financing companies.

For people who spend an inordinate amount of time talking about how woke they are to social issues, the left has done a terrible job of framing healthcare as a human rights issue. This is really the only way they're going to shame moderate Democrats and center-right Independents into being okay with UHC. Poor white people already feel entitled enough to government money so long as they don't think black people are getting it too; Obamacare is already popular among them, so the economics argument isn't really the issue in the UHC debate.
