Solaris 2.0 posted:lol it's like a mini-version of Brexit. Stir up the anti-brown sentiment to the point where actual laws are passed, but end up loving over the towns long term with legal fees, litgation, loss productivity, ect. Meanwhile the people pushing the new policy take their money and run. Just like Brexit! Hats off to the guy for finding a novel way of scamming sheltered white people out of their money that doesn't involve MLM or oxycontin.

Although they pretend to be a part of Kentucky. e: If you like living in Ohio, good on you.

Crakkerjakk posted:Adopting is also ridiculously expensive, though more in a "luxury sedan" price bracket instead of the "yacht" bracket. And typically not covered at all by health insurance, I believe. A few companies (Facebook is one, if I'm remembering correctly) will help offset the adoption expenses. But it's far from the norm.

At least there was an active uprising in Libya, as opposed to say, invading a country under falsified pretenses and dragging the entire region into a 15 year long war that wasted trillions of dollars and millions of lives and ultimately accomplished nothing.

Buried? Try "lies on the ground for people to trip over". Real talk, even at the FOBs I was on it was usually strung up along crumbling HESCOs that had been around since Dubya declared Mission Accomplished in Iraq. Bigger bases like BAF had proper conduit run by contractors, but the tactical poo poo was, for the most part, completely exposed.

Afghanistan was just a big flea market of gear. After the Poles cleared out of Ghazni and we were tearing down their old buildings, we found three mortar rounds still in their packaging just hanging out, as well as a bunch of frag grenades and rounds for whatever their version of the M203 is.

e^: I had my entire lawn dug at the end of April up to fix the sewage line and we got so much rain in May that the grass had entirely grown back by the end of the month.bird food bathtub posted:Yeah Ellicott City got turbo-hosed last time around. Two years after a "thousand year flood", they got smashed again. Some places were still rebuilding or had just finished after last time and welp, there it goes again. There's all kinds of bitching about zoning ordinances and property restrictions and stuff because they want to blame it all on how the town was built and grown. I mean, there's probably some truth to that but the lengths people go to, to avoid saying "climate change" is pretty impressive. Pretty sure a fair amount of people are just going to give up on the place this time around. The article at the end of the thread kind of summarizes it: the combination of bad zoning and climate change has turned something that might have resulted in minor/major flooding into something that's catastrophic. I don't think it's avoiding discussing climate change as much as it is them pointing out that the county hosed everyone in the river valley by approving all of these buildings in the surrounding hills that have large parking lots.

Eej posted:There was a great thread a couple days ago that I can't find anymore cause Twitter search sucks but it was about how Polynesian migration success varied greatly based on what kind of islands they ended up on. On the low islands with minimal freshwater and arable land they could barely survive even though they could walk around and breathe the air and catch fish from the ocean as compared to a space colony. I don't think space exploration and saving Earth are a zero sum game.

This. hobbesmaster posted:Then primary her from the left That's placing the onus on a single district. The speaker of the house represents the entirety of the house of representatives, so they should be elected by the entire body of the house of representatives. Same goes with the minority and majority leader. In other words, it's on Dems to replace her, not Pelosi's district. psydude fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Aug 10, 2018 |

Turkey's economy is competing with Argentina's for the title of most unstable economy in a developed country. The currency dropped 20% today after Trump went issued another decree by tweet increasing the tariffs against Turkish steel and aluminum. And Erdogan's dumb spending spree and fiscal policy isn't helping matters, either. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/10/business/turkey-erdogan-economy-lira.html
