Much like brexit, if people don't actually vote these dumb shits out nothing will change.

I for one cannot wait for the upcoming conservative supermajority senate + house + presidency after the 2020 elections.

Female? Want to have sex while in orbit around the moon? Well you're in luck!

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51086635

quote:

Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa is looking for a female "life partner" to accompany him on Space X's maiden tourist voyage to the Moon.

The fashion mogul, 44, is set to be the first civilian passenger to fly around the moon on the Starship rocket.

Planned for 2023, the mission will be the first lunar journey by humans since 1972.

In an online appeal, Mr Maezawa says he wants to share the experience with a "special" woman.

The entrepreneur, who recently split up from actress girlfriend Ayame Goriki, 27, has asked women to apply for a "planned match-making event" on his website.

I'm no SA-15 expert, but it was doctrine to fire two Standards at any target to ensure a kill. If the whole thing was automated anyway, the second launch probably was, too, for the same reason.

The shots were 30 seconds apart, and the first one did hit before the second was fired. The battery commanders claim that 'it would have been out of range in 8 seconds' or w/e is full of poo poo.

edit : i am not saying that is not normal, just that the story they have put out has been garbage from the start.

Big fire(s) causes homeless surge. Won't someone think of the wine country property values??

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/18/us/santa-rosa-homeless-camp/index.html

quote:

A popular biking spot, the trail is now the site of the largest homeless encampment in Sonoma County history. It's also a textbook outcome of the 16% surge last year in homelessness in California -- largely fueled by skyrocketing housing costs -- and the myriad problems that go along with it.

"It's an occupation. It's taken over our neighborhood," Stuart Kiehl, who has lived in Santa Rosa for 20 years, said of the trail encampment. "It means lower property values. There are people that are 40 feet away who have townhouses. Who would want to buy their house?"

Facing those fears, along with public health and safety concerns, local officials have taken steps to clear the encampment by January 31. But a pair of federal court rulings requires them first to offer everyone who lives there a spot in a shelter. And so far, there are not enough.

...

Aiming to comply with the court mandates -- including one specific to Santa Rosa -- Hopkins and her colleagues last month approved an $11.6 million package to help alleviate the shortage of shelter beds and temporary housing. It's a small sum compared with the $1.4 billion that California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, recently proposed to try to stem the homelessness crisis statewide.

A portion of the Santa Rosa money will go to set up the county's first official encampment for a few dozen homeless people. Supervisors' goal is to have enough sanctioned shelter space and other alternatives available so they can close the trail camp by month's end. It's still not clear whether they'll meet the self-imposed deadline.

"We're legally mandated to provide alternatives to every single resident along the trail before we move forward with clearing the encampment," Hopkins said. "We really need to get an encampment opened in a place that is actually appropriate for it."

I distinctly remember there being a big thing in China a few years back where there was a giant black market for cooking oil which resulted in people making knock off poo poo from sewage sludge and selling it at a discount to places around the country. Of course said knock off cooking oil contained like 50 bajillion carcinogens and was making people sick all over.

edit- I say this to show how loving thankful I am that there is some food regulation here in the US and would point to what happens in China to anyone who wants to weaken our regulations.

Gutter oil is still a thing.

And lots of Chinese still buy and resell baby formula from other countries because they do not trust Chinese formula.

It's a big thing in Australia where they've limited baby formula sales to like two big cans per person.

I look at the scandals where Chinese baby formula had melamine in it and think "man let 'em buy our formula, we'll be fine, their babies are dying"

Oh I don't blame them at all. But you have to wonder what ELSE they do with fake food poo poo to sell to adults.

they gather the oil from actual gutters and drains filter out the big poo poo and resell it to restaurants.

My wife had a look. Basically the guy is frustrated because tons of people are coming, they're now rejecting people at the door who should be seen. Despite this, he's only seen five patients and he's on his third shift. Authorities are yelling at the exhausted staff to go home, but they don't want to leave. She says he has a really thick southern accent and was hard to understand.

also complaining that the staff cannot go home due to quarantines and it's new years. - per my chinese wife, she is from the south

Man I was reading this news article from 1964 and got kinda mad

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/23/us/barbers-hill-isd-dreadlocks-deandre-arnold-trnd/index.html

quote:

DeAndre Arnold has been growing his dreadlocks for years.
But for the past few days, Arnold -- a senior at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, Texas, east of Houston -- hasn't been in school. He might not get to attend his senior prom. And with graduation coming up in a few months, Arnold might not even get to walk across the stage with his friends.
It has everything to do with his hair.
School district allows dreadlocks, just not long ones

Barbers Hill Independent School District, which Arnold's high school is a part of, has a dress code. It dictates the usual things, such as the length of skirts and shorts, but with hair, it goes a step further.
Though the district allows dreadlocks, male students' hair cannot extend below the eyebrows or ear lobes, and must be kept shorter than the top of a T-shirt collar.

....

Superintendent Greg Poole told CNN the entire situation was false.
"People want to call us racist, but we're following the rules, the law of the land," he said, arguing that the policy is fully within the realms of the law. "We're certainly not making this up."
