“We’re all trying to find the guy that did this” she says from inside the wiener costume

No, not really. Their name “homeland security” has always been a little too nazi-1984-ish sounding for me. The Federal Emergency Management people and programs are sometimes useful though.

I guess the war industry and the oil industry are in business together. Oil wars keep the oil flowing and the weaponry dollars flying

Hunting rifles like that are usually going to make a small entrance wound and larger exit wound. I haven’t seen exactly what happened to kirk because I don’t like to watch people die. But I can say from experience with deer hunting that it’s plausible for that rifle to make a narrow wound channel through a person, while being extremely deadly to them, not making a huge wound outside.

Basically those high powered rounds are made to penetrate well through large animals, tougher than humans. Expanding and deforming of the round is intended to begin well after penetration, unlike the way handgun bullets are designed.

So I think it’s totally possible that Robinson did it even though the bullet isn’t able to be matched

I have read somewhere that the whole “bullet forensics” process is mostly pseudoscience anyway. A quick search found this article:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-field-of-firearms-forensics-is-flawed/

If a shell casing wasn’t ejected on the scene (like with a bolt-action not cycled) then all they would have to analyze is the what’s-left-of-bullet which is possibly just a mess of lead and copper. May or may not have rifling marks left on it

And just like with Venezuela the Oil Motive for war becomes obvious. Greedy old dumbass dinosaurs still think oil is worth killing for instead of working on the many alternatives that we have already available.

The Saudis did 9/11 never forget

All of the hijackers were Saudi nationals, so was Bin Laden

The FBI had an open investigation into Saudi funded guys who were taking flying lessons in what they termed a “dry run for 9/11” but the investigation was kiboshed

Epstein probably helped with the planning too, since they have hidden all the epstein files in the years surrounding 2001

So it was probably Saudis + Epstein + Israel + Bush, Cheney, and the PNAC who actually did it, and that’s why they’ll never release the full Epstein files. What would be worse than a bunch of child rapes? Oh, that would.

My uncle was one of those “it’s just a cold” people, and now he’s mostly disabled from long covid. Severe breathing problems and barely survived heart surgery last year. Before covid he was an active middle aged guy, working on a ranch and regularly going out hunting and fishing.

That doesn’t sound like a succulent Chinese meal

Really a lot considering that most WinXP installs couldn’t even use more than 3.5 GB of RAM at maximum

Also you can buy 2 of the Switch 1 for the price of 1 Switch 2, and more people can play nintendo

LOL I was thinkin’ about Spaghett when I opened this post, and there he was.

Oligarchs trying to buy up all the digital real estate so they can be the digital landlords of computerland

Right, we are to assume that basically everyone with children is bankrupt now? I don’t think that is the case.

Costs vary widely across the vast nation. Not making anywhere near 400k here and doing fine.

Great use of tech and knowledge. Video-recording glasses wearers can’t complain about this because they are sending the Bluetooth signals to be detected.

We need to scale this idea up - apps to detect the known types of signals emitting from camera systems like Flock, Ring, and other similar mass surveillance garbage.

Sounds like it came from that article about the new kind of sodium batteries with vanadium that are doing that desalination business. I was describing the general technology rather than that specific new one in the article.

Sodium-ion batteries are not hype though, they are in production use in multiple industries already. They are generally superior to Lithium based batteries in all regards, with the exception of having a bit lower energy density. An equivalent LiFePO4 battery might be 70-80% of the size for the same storage. It’s not a big deal for large applications like cars and solar storage.

TLDR = money matters more than morals and safety to them

The voltage being sent down would have to be really high to avoid loss going through such a long and probably thin cable. Like the difference in voltage loss going through a 100’ romex cable of 10-gauge wire with 12v DC vs 120v AC - you just can’t do it with 12v DC because the loss is far too high, but it’s no problem with 120v AC.

Magnify those losses times 500 for your 5000’ cable… maybe you need a 5000v line… then you have a dangerous high-voltage line flying around in the air. High-voltage transmission lines can arc to ground if they find a path, even though they’re insulated wires.

But I guess those guys probably know about that stuff too.

It’s not that hard to comprehend both measurement systems. Both are valid and it’s up to the author to choose how they want to express their figures. You can send them a complaint if you want, but complaining about their measurements here isn’t going to change anything.
