I was out elk hunting once, and got to watch a family of bobcats play with each other, not more than 30 yards away. They did this for more than half an hour.
It's the longest time I've ever actually managed to see bobcats at less than a quarter mile.

Known enough about logging operations to know if 3 years is long enough to actually recover costs and make a profit.
Like so many things this is performative. It's a fuck you to the cultural enemies of the orange turd.

Specifically for oil and mining, there is no possible way you can develop, install infrastructure, and extract enough resources to pay back your costs in the next 3 years.
Because you know, that's all you're going to get is 3 years. And maybe not even that.

Imagine you are decision maker for a major extraction, company, oil, timber or mining.
The orange shit stain issues, an executive order that may or may not be legal, allowing you to go explore previously restricted areas for resources.

It will be completely understandable if you authored this paper, to sell everything you own, pay for plastic surgery, change your name, and become a hermit in some distant remote wilderness area.
There's no coming back from that paper.

Ds request absentee ballots, and collect them. One of the few convictions for election fraud had a guy being beaten because he was only paying $5 and one mini of liquor per ballot vs the norm $10 & 2 minis
The cops arrested him with multiple absentee ballots stuffed down his pants.

Locally, the Rs request absentee ballots for occasional D voters. These voters get them in the mail, think they are junk mail And trash them.
Then when they go to vote in person, they are forced to cast a provisional ballot which is not countered unless the race is close.

When I say the party accusations about the other parties cheating are generally correct, Democrats tend to invent fictitious votes, and Republicans tend to try to suppress voting and counting the votes.

After almost a decade of "in the trenches" experience in elections and voting, voting systems have gotten better, as a result of Bush v Gore.
The D/R party's accusations about the other parties cheating are generally correct.
Except for unicorn races, the cheating doesn't change the outcome.

As an example, If you look at overvotes, more than one vote for POTUS, Gore had 68k Bush 24k. Any standard for divining that the voter really didn't intend to vote for a third party, will always favor the candidate with the most raw problem ballots.
Relitigating this election is cozy fantasy.

As somebody who has successfully sued the New Mexico SOS to force a recount to change the results of an election, I'm well aware of chicanery possible in recounts.
The Fl voting system was utter dog shit, trying to analyze a garbage system results in garbage.

All of the analysis indicates that if SCOTUS had not stopped the recount, under the rules established by the Florida court for the recount, Bush would still have won.
To get to a Gore win, you have to ignore the initial recount rules, and recount the entire State.

I did a little work in the past in modeling of battery physics.
I have become the ultimate skeptic about the popular science articles about battery technology breakthroughs.
I only get interested when there is commercial availability.
This is very interesting. I'd love to buy stock in Group-14

Of course we know the real distinction between the garden club, and the people charged. It's a holdover of the Puritan culture that says that somehow somewhere someone is having fun with sex, and that's bad..

That any crime was charged at all, given the facts outlined in the article, is a travesty by itself.
The government's theory: my gardening club says that I have to do 5 hours of unpaid labor, in order to be part of the club, they have engaged in criminal forced labor?
Insanity is 2 mild a word.

When I was defending my PhD dissertation, my advisor was my harshest questioner. The committee chair shut him down fairly abruptly, complimented me on the presentation, and immediately moved for a vote.
My advisor sat there with a shell shocked look on his face. I passed.

Stop using the phrase " suspected drug vessel" because that's a lie.
If the reporters want to maintain their pretend neutrality, substitute something like
"Asserted drug vessel"

I would actually nominate Wilson as the worst, most immoral, president the United States has ever had, up until Trump.
He was a vicious racist, when race relations were actually headed in the right direction. He effectively reversed desegregation.
He was not only bad, but effective.

Distance is your friend wrt FBs. Get far away, put something sturdy between yourself and the source of the explosion. Shock waves reflect by a change in density; walls, cars, even glass. While the glass may shatter, if the FB is more than a couple meters away, the glass won't pick up much velocity.
