Comment Re: Would anyone have noticed? (Score 0) 61

I own a tiny indie studio in Chicagoland and my peers own the some of the huge studios in Chicagoland.

Cinespace is dead right now. It has ONE show active. The other studios are so dead that they're secretly hosting bar mitzvahs and pickleball tournaments for $1500 a day just to pay property taxes.

My studio is surprisingly busy but I'm cheap and cater to non-union folks with otherwise full time jobs.

At the Panamanian shores, the Pacific Ocean is 8â (20cm) higher than the Atlantic Ocean.

Also, at the entrance to the Panama Canal, the Pacific Ocean can rise as much as 20 feet (609cm), but 45 miles (72km) away, the difference between high tide and low in the Atlantic is just three feet (91cm).

Comment So strange (Score -1) 56

I used to be such a huge Google fan. My businesses spent tens of thousands a month on Google.

But now, I think I spend $19.99 a month on Google. Maybe. I need to cut that off.

I don't use gmail anymore. I haven't used google search in forever. I am using Chrome right now but need to replace it.

Who uses Google anymore? For anything?

And the radioactive materials that are on Earth, they do what? They decay, releasing heat! Or do they start decaying only after we put them in a plant?!? All of that heat will be released. Taking a minuscule part of the material, generating electricity from that heat and then using the energy to do work (which of course is not 100% efficient but nothing is) DECREASES the heat load of the planet. Just like what you claim about solar. Radioactive materials decay releasing heat all the time; they are an ever present source of heat, just like the sun. Converting part of that heat into work HELPS!

You are like the fifth "nerd" here that keeps bang about heat load like a damn parrots while obviously being supremely ignorant about it. Are you sure you are not that one guy, posting anonymously?

Dude, to top it over, they say the heat from the radioactive decay is what keeps the stuff below our feet liquid and thus creates the protective magnetic shield around the planet! Without radioactive decay there is no life, brother!

Comment Re: Most Republicans hate Mitch McConnell (Score 1) 67

Mitch O'Connell is part of the establishment GOP faction that responds readily to globalists and special foreign factions over Americans.

It's a business model of grifting for more campaign money, not that Mitch needs it anymore but so that Mitch can donate it toward other like-minded anti-American politicians.
