LINKHeat wave: Dangerous, oppressive weather to scorch central, eastern US

Be careful out there this weekend, stay hydrated and don't overdo it outside in these temps. The Trumpets who attend his political rallies may be in for a rough ride, maybe it will give them some insights into what it is to hike across a desert to find refuge from cartels and oppression.

LINKSeven reasons why the Internal Combustion Engine is a dead man walking – Tom Raftery's Internet of Things

Globally, the era of the internal combustion engine is coming to an end and electrical engines will be what replaces them. A good article that makes sound arguments for why this is so.

I was watching 'Kingsman the Golden Circle' yesterday and it was pretty hokey but then this song came up on the soundtrack. Brought a smile to my face. :)

The problem with a two party system is that eventually the two parties get together and decide to work for their own benefit. There are ups and downs and power struggles but the one group that always gets fleeced is the public.

No doubt just a bunch of murderers and rapists as history later showed to be the case.

13 years today since my beautiful wife and I said 'I DO' in front of some family and friends and more than 20 years since I said 'We're best friends already, let's see how far this can go' and she said 'Okay but you have to keep your underwear on'. ...

POLLWind turbine turns traffic into energy - TRT World

Much of the discussion that I have seen around this wind turbine that captures wasted energy from passing traffic has centered around the extra drag on the vehicles which I think would be minimal and the rate of return on investment in making these turbines. Energy conservation didn't even make it onto the agenda. What are your thoughts, does this wind turbine system make sense to you?

12 votes Yes, anything we can do to conserve energy and reduce emissions is a good thing.
2 votes This is a waste of money and is expensive and inefficient

It took longer than expected but the Senate finally did their job and quit delaying the passage of the marijuana law.

Atheists in general follow the tenets ascribed to Jesus more closely than most of the Xstians I have known and yet we are supposedly the immoral Heathens?

Too lazy to Google or just too stupid to understand what they read?

One can only imagine what sort of omen or portend that the Trumpets will interpret from this cloud formation.

Trump does the impossible, unites all political parties in Canada behind PM Justin Trudeau. Expect trade war with Americas 2nd largest trading partner to follow.

I find it so ironic that Trump quoted the lines of this song when he was running for the Presidency, look how things have turned out.

Just a variation on a theme. All religions are delusional by their very nature but some are seriously bat shit crazy, not to mention dangerous. Here's a link to some of the weirder delusion cults around the world.

Listening to the coverage of the latest debacle in the G7 with that asshat Trump makes me wish Trudeau had simply challenged that fat bastard to a boxing match to settle the trade issue. :
