California IS working on the HSR leg, it’s just taking longer than expected due to red tape. It’s going to open at some point though.

In '41? We were sitting at home and selling EVERYBODY weapons. Staunchly refusing to get into the war. Again. For the second time ever. Right up until Dec, 8.

The Moon is the only readily available source of truly ancient Earth rocks. If we want to know more about our planet, we have to go to The Moon, and do science.

Thus far exactly one scientist has ever set foot on The Moon. We’re going back with a team of scientists and one pilot, rather than the inverse ratio that the Apollo missions had.

Directly? Talk to “God,” and thoughts and prayers for the people.

Indirectly? He just told around a billion and a half Catholics to resist/disobey illegal orders. That’s not nothing.

That’s much bigger than “a basketball at arm’s length,” as was described by NASA. That’s more like an oversized beach ball at arm’s length for me, and I have a 7’6" wingspan. I’m 6’3" in height, and rather lanky.

They mostly lose their money because everyone that finds out that they are suddenly rich, starts sueing to get what “they are owed,” or someone just kills them. The ones that can’t control their spending might never go broke, provided they got the lump sum invested by a fiduciary quickly enough.

I’ve said for years that we need one more episode of Celebrity Deathmatch between Delores Umbridge and Kai Winn

That’s about 2 pallets of solar panels and batteries each, not a shipping container. That’s 0.0138 of a standard shipping container. I used to stack them 4 wide, 3 high, and 24 deep when I was a forklift operator. If you are shipping something that is light, and doesn’t matter if it overheats, you can do 4×4×26. Maybe more.

Their hold can easily contain an extra 4 pallets.

If those particular boats did or not, I don’t know, and that is irrelevant anyway. They definitely shipped some pallets of something, and other boats and ships exist and are providing aid.

I actually still have that game, both for Xbox and PC

Technically we were trying to help out France with the Vietnam war

Fair enough. My favorite tree falls over in a stiff breeze so yeah, I can see why you like them. (Redwood/Giant Sequoias)

I did as well.

Re: your username: after SDG&E decided that our palm was too close to the electric wires and needed to be removed, I have to disagree. That wood is horrible to try to work with. The tree ate two chainsaws.

Apparently, a bunch of them decided the US was too unsafe and fled back to South Africa.

San Diego, either “shorts all the time” or “what are shorts?” I’m in the “what are shorts,” camp.

You perceive that the target was so short because it was a child!

Well the Tau party is basically non-existent.

Each of those boats can easily stick 5-10 MW of solar panels and ≈ .7 to 1 GJ worth of batteries into their holds for that short of a cruise. That brings two entire towns back online. It’s certainly not nothing.

If just these two boats are the only source that China has of getting solar panels and batteries to Cuba, they can get the entire country off of oil dependency in a year or two. I seriously doubt that is the case though.

That’s what Labor Day was for. You seem very confused. Did you get hit in the head recently?

That’s what I first read. It’s how I knew how you got there.

Firms, not films.
