Little Girl Punches Down Tree ...
She's going to be a champion...as long as all her opponents are >95% rotten.
Finally a Doctor on the News Talking Fucking Sense
Month old news.
Stay the F home for 2 / 3 weeks.
Out for food, meds or gas.
I need to go to Hospitals, clinics for service. Ghost towns 95% wearing masks.
Human Test Vol. 4 (For People Who Work In An Office)
I answered yes to like 95% of that, does that make me somehow "super-human"?
Shocking Data On China’s Economic Growth
They poured more concrete in two years than US did in the 20th century. IN TWO YEARS! That's a factual statement. (Shows article and chart showing it took 3 years. Apparently they don't understand that 2011-2013 is 3 years, even when it's in the title.)
Also mentions the new Chinese city with 550 square feet of office space with 95% not occupant. *facepalm
China dipped into our retirement funds to pay tariffs? No, they didn't. That's simply asinine in numerous ways.
They harvest most of the world's frozen fish? No, they freeze most of the world's frozen fish. No one harvests frozen fish.
These people are morons. Typically, they are fast and loose with facts and definitions, maybe just to avoid being truthful, something the right now finds distasteful.

Why Shell's Marketing is so Disgusting
@newtboy said: "a 3' rise, which is all but guaranteed by 2100 under the most optimistic current projections."
Lies.
The most recent IPCC report(AR5) has their section on sea level rise here:
https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/WG1AR5_Chapter13_FINAL.pdf
In the summary for policy makers section under projections they note: " For the period 2081–2100, compared to 1986–2005, global mean sea level rise is likely (medium confidence) to be in the 5 to 95% range of projections from process based models, which give 0.26 to 0.55 m for RCP2.6, 0.32 to 0.63 m for RCP4.5, 0.33 to 0.63 m for RCP6.0, and 0.45 to 0.82 m for RCP8.5. For RCP8.5, the rise by 2100 is 0.52 to 0.98 m"
And to give you maximum benefit of doubt they also comment on possible(unlikely) exceeding of stated estimates:" Based on current understanding, only the collapse of marine-based sectors of the Antarctic ice sheet, if initiated, could cause global mean sea level to rise substantially above the likely range during the 21st century. This potential additional contribution cannot be precisely quantified but there is medium confidence that it would not exceed several tenths of a meter of sea level rise during the 21st century. "
So, to summarize that, the worst case emissions scenario the IPCC ran(8.5), has in itself a worst case sea level rise ranging 0.5-1.0m, so 1.5 to 3ft. They do note a potential allowance for another few tenths of a meter if unexpected collapse of antarctic ice also occurs.
Let me quote you again: "3' rise, which is all but guaranteed by 2100 under the most optimistic current projections"
and yet the most recent collaborative summary from the scientific community states under their most pessimistic projections have a 3 ft as the extreme upper limit...
You also did however state "IPCC (again, known for overly conservative estimates)", so it does seem you almost do admit having low opinion of the scientific consensus and prefer cherry picking the most extreme scenarios you can find anywhere and claiming them as the absolute golden standard...
Diatoms: Tiny Factories You Can See From Space
Diatoms, and other phytoplankton, are incredibly sensitive to ocean PH and CO2 levels. This can be another feedback loop already in action.
As fewer diatoms photosynthesize, more CO2 goes unused, raising the concentration, lowering the numbers and health of phytoplankton, allowing more CO2 to go unused, raising the concentration, .....
Every molecule of CO2 added to ocean systems removes one molecule of carbonate, which is necessary for the uptake of iron among other processes. By 2100, surface carbonate is expected to decrease by up to 50%. That may well be below the levels diatoms can tolerate.
https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/key-biological-mechanism-disrupted-ocean-acidification
If phytoplankton goes, so does the food web. They are the base. If the ocean food web collapses, eventually the bacteria that eat dead sea life will create huge clouds of hydrogen sulfide that cover the land, poisoning any still living organisms there. This has happened before, but on a much longer timescale, with near life ending results for earth.
Hydrogen Sulfide, Not Carbon Dioxide, May Have Caused Largest Mass Extinction. ... "During the end-Permian extinction 95 percent of all species (and >98% of all biomass) on Earth became extinct, compared to only 75 percent during the KT when the dinosaurs disappeared,"
A better title might be "diatoms, the tiny glass shards that support all life on earth, are struggling".
Disturbed - You are not alone in depression and addiction
WOW what does this say about the direction of our society?
95% raised their hands
95% grew up in Godless houses.
Any similarities?
Not saying GOD is the only answer but does not hurt to have him on your side. IF then maybe only 1/2 raises their hands. Just saying.

Don't remember Robotech.
I remember being a Vulcan. I wanted to be Spock. I started to stand with my hands behind my back. Tried not smile. Learned to lift one eyebrow.
Kids. It was a great time in spite having to learn things the hard way.
I got into racing. I felt the need to follow a sport so I could be a part of something, I guess. I liked football but didn't care to play it. Baseball was too boring for me to follow for any length of time. I decided I would follow NASCAR . That was the ticket for me. Been to Daytona several times out of convenience of location. Been to Texas Motor Speedway twice, Atlanta, Talladega twice, Las Vegas, Dover and Charlotte. Part of why I have hearing loss. I love to drive/travel. I haven't owned a car since '95 but have always managed to get around somehow.
EDIT: in case you were wondering, no, I don't have a southern accent. Not that there is "anything wrong" with that.
I've always had a thing for Japanese culture. They seemed as close to Vulcans as humans were likely to get (when I was little at least), and I respect that immensely. That, and I wanted to be a race car driver when I grew up....still do.
How about Robotech? I watched it daily when it aired.
