this drives me crazy seeing drivers who ignore the fact that a truck is NOT a car!
that driver put everybody in jeopardy just because he/she wished to be a few feet ahead and tried to squeeze into a spot that barely could accommodate their vehicle.

the trucker may have pushed the point a tad and,possibly,could have just downshifted and let off but that car was totally in the wrong...and dangerous to boot.

Just watched the Celebrity Jeopardy clip from this show, which was actually pretty funny.

@PlayhousePals "jeopardy" is a good tag...

Not a surprise to me. We knew that the DA had thrown the case. They did NOT do what they normally do in a grand jury, which is to present evidence that shows or implies the 'defendants' guilt, and present it in a way that makes the 'defendant' look guilty, or at least looks like they could be guilty. They don't show evidence that might make the 'defendant' look not-guilty, and the 'defendant' does not testify. In this case, they handed over ALL their evidence, did not explain it except to provide explanations that fit the 'defendants' version, and did allow the 'defendant' to 'testify', in his own words, for days on end without any cross examination or question of his version. Now we have another story that they also instructed the 'jury' with long held unconstitutional 'laws'.
To me, this all adds up to 'jeopardy' never attaching in this case, due to prosecutorial misconduct. The DA is REQUIRED to represent the state, not the defendant, ZEALOUSLY. There can be little question that, in this case, no such zealous representation happened on the side of the state/people. For that reason, I hope a special prosecutor can still go after him for murder. I also really hope this DA will be disbarred, certainly removed as DA, but it's a thin hope.

We, meaning people, but yes, I did really mean America, the most prolific space fairing nation in the past. The Chinese may go there again soon, but not yet. I'll reserve my opinion about their ability until I see their manned rocket land there and return.

Florida is thousands of times the size of Kiribati and probably tens of thousands of times the population...and is FAR from the only place in jeopardy. I was not ignoring Kiribati, or the dozens of other island nations, or Venice, or Alaska, or, well, any place with a coast line, I was giving one example. It's a little funny that you decided to say 'Florida?!? It's far worse over in Kiribati' while you're trying also to say 'Don't panic, it's not bad'. WHAT?!? I think the people of Kiribati would disagree that it's not time to panic! ;-)

That's not the data I've seen. What I've read (from numerous sources) said the rate of rise is accelerating, not a steady rate over the last 100+ years, and it is expected to continue accelerating. When you say they can "cope" with it, what do you mean, because even the little amount of rise we've seen so far has already displaced tens of thousands of people, and very few have just adapted to the new situation? What evidence have you that there's a solution to the loss of useable land?
Oh, from your volcano example, I see that by "cope" you mean "die". That's not how I intend to "cope", thanks. ;-)
Kiribati has seen tsunamis, and survived them. Being in open ocean, most are barely perceptible. There's no continental shelf to make them 'grow'. That said, 1 foot of sea rise puts a large portion of the island underwater and makes the rest FAR more susceptible to damage from even a small tsunami.

Really? That's not what I've been reading for decades. California alone, which produces over 1/4 of America's food, is in the worst drought ever recorded due to climate change, and production is falling like a stone there. They are not alone by any means. Africa, Australia, etc have the same issues. It's not mainly an issue of violence world wide, it's an issue of lack of water. The violence is often CAUSED by the lack of food, making the 'men with guns' have a reason to steal and control food sources. If food were plentiful, it would be impossible for them to do so. Africa did have the means to grow their own food, before they stopped getting enough water. That's the biggest road block, the seed can be donated and fertilizer only increases yields, it's not needed in most cases to sustain crops.
Because some war torn countries have issues with roving gangs of gun toting thugs does not make gun toting thugs the reason Africa is food poor. The thugs SELL that food, so it doesn't just disappear, it still gets eaten, and there's still a huge famine, so.....

Yes, adopting new tech, even quick adoption, absolutely CAN be an economic boon, just not for the oil companies in this instance. Just consider the adoption of the automobile, it was fast, and great for the economy in numerous ways.

EDIT:And I have said clearly that I don't think anything done today will effect 2100. The greenhouse gasses stay in the atmosphere that long or longer, so today's change in emissions will only equate to a change in the climate after 2115, so we can't avoid 1 foot of sea level rise. We can, however, stop increasing the rate of change (the system reacts to greenhouse gas addition right away, but takes 100+ years to react to reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, so we can make it worse, but not better than that prediction...and that's the road we're on, making it worse daily).

Yes, changing the resolution changed the measurements ON THAT ONE OUTLYING GLACIER ONLY. It explained why it alone wasn't following the models, which was because a large portion of it was incredibly high up, making it colder, but on average it was below the 'melt line', skewing the data.
78% less glacier (your figures) still mean more than 78% less runoff, so >78% less water....in areas that are already completely dependent on glacial water to support humans and already have water supply issues today. Even the low 65% number is disastrous.
The glaciers do not need to be gone in order to be useless as sources of fresh water. I did not say all glaciers would be 'gone' I said they would no longer supply the demand, and there's no known tech in the pipeline that can.
So, in short, please stop twisting and exaggerating what I write to create strawman arguments to shoot down. It gets old fast.

The politicians are allowed to "boo and hiss" here in Canada. It is impossible to be held LEGALLY accountable for ANYTHING said in there. You can get in trouble in the Court of Popular Opinion, or demoted by the Prime Minister, but you can literally say "Prime Minister Harper blows goats." as long as you say "Mr. Speaker" first.

It's a lot like Simon Says or Jeopardy...

They also said "Of course we started late..." and it's a sketch about how a Black version of Jeopardy would be inherently stupid not an intellectual pursuit.

So if you're going for reverse racism, I think you lose, if they're going for funny, I think they lose it wasn't all that funny.
