Where are they people literally dying from global warming? Cite some sources.

Sorry about your fantasy, but we Marines have more class than that. If you threw someone involuntarily into a Marine filled ring, we'd come after you. Even if it were the horrid wretches that Newsom and Schumer are.

Islam is a religion, not a race, idiot.

Exactly. The people of Gaza elected them, elections have consequences. And then Hamas brutally stormed into a peaceful concert venue, slaughters hundreds of innocent concert goers, and then when house to house slaughtering men, women, and children. And those they didn't slaughter became prized livestock for raping and hostages. Sorry, but I have no sympathy for Gaza, even after 6 months. Liberals. Ask yourself why Jordan, Egypt, and all the other Arabic countries refuse to let Gazans in. Do you even have an answer? You don't.

I love good Korean food. Like you said, kimchi is an acquired taste. But more so, samjang paste on pork or beef wrapped up with rice and lettuce.

I guess this means it's my cat's fault why I feel old almost every day. He loves to wake up much earlier than everyone, demands food, and once fed, decides he's really to mingle with us sleepyheads.

Clink!

A question for as a response is "Do you believe anthropogenic global warming? If so, how do you stop it? And bonus, why is Mars also warming at a similar rate and how do you explain the differences between Earth's warming and Mar's warming?" Conorjh does make a correct observation that almost all weather related incidents seem to be blamed on climate change by TV news sensationalists. Flood in the Philippines? Climate Change (and certainly not digging roads through muddy, unstable ares). California cliffs eroding? Climate change (and certainly not building heavy concrete home structure along already unstable, sandstone cliffs). Tornados in Kansas? Climate Change (and certainly not the typical warm, moist Gulf are mixing with cold fronts coming off the Rockies we;ve seen every single year since we settled the area).

Actually, the biggest issue facing the EV market is the depreciation value of EVs themselves. Per the-pipeline.org: "The lithium-ion batteries in E.V.s have a useful life of about 10 years, and with the cost of a replacement battery likely to be in the five-figures, battery-replacement-time for an E.V. pretty much means that it’s time for the car to be scrapped. With E.V.s rapidly depreciating to a value of $0 as their batteries age, consumers naturally don’t want to find themselves in the position of trying to sell a 6 or 7-year old E.V. that has little value due to its useful life being almost over. This, of course, compels them not to want to purchase a 3 or 4-year old E.V., which in turn makes it difficult for the original owner to sell his E.V." But I can buy a 1970's ICE car, fire up the engine, and still drive it. If the engine is bad, usually replacing them is measured in just 4 figure numbers, not 5.

Considering the multi fronts were are looking at, who wants to join. Ukraine is a proxy war for Biden and Co. energy investments. China is running the Asian chessboard. We have unguarded borders. The middle east is getting stronger, as Iran has enough uranium now for a bomb. We have a country more focused inward than outward, with weak, feckless leadership And based on my latest trip late last year to Okinawa, our troops are no where ready for any sort of engagement. I would rather have my kids home. Much safer.

I was in the military when we freed Kuwait from Iraq after Saddam had tried to take over oil fields But then again, I was part of the contingency force waiting for Kim Jung Il to cross over the DMZ, sitting on the beaches of the Philippines waiting endlessly for something to happen, which thankfully never did. KJI sure talked like he was ready to go though. The lumpia and fried rice made by the locals did make the wait much better.

In order to have babies in space, you will need a couple to make them. I will gladly volunteer my services to almost all female candidates for this study.

Thank you for the response. Makes sense.

I'm missing something here. Why can't they slow down its orbit enough and safely drop it down into earth's atmosphere to burn up? Granted, some chunks may end up plunging into the ocean or a slum in Mumbai or something. But why leave it in space as junk? Isn't there enough junk up there already?

You do have some Florida Man (and Woman) walking around on Flakka, flailing their arms about, walking aimlessly. Laws of probability would eventually mean one Flakka user, with flailing arms, would walk into the path of a moving train.
