  1. How soon they forget. Insolation and glacials - KUKLA - 1972 - Boreas - Wiley Online Library "George Kukla, a climate scientist was among the first to warn of the power of global climate change and inspire government study. In a career spanning more than five decades, much of it spent at Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Kukla helped pioneer the modern understanding of how natural climate cycles work, and publicly warned that changing climate could affect humanity—though not in the sense that most scientists believe today. Synching climate records on land and at sea, he showed that ice ages in the last few million years were far more common than previously thought. Working from China and eastern Europe to Antarctica and Chile, he also helped to clarify the role that snow and ice, air pollutants, and other factors play in cooling earth’s climate. In the early 1970s, Kukla became a proponent of the idea that earth was veering toward another ice age—a view shared by prominent scientists at the time, when the planet was in fact cooling.
  2. You can track “their” trades here. The information is a few days late but I’ve made some money buying and selling what “they” buy and sell. https://www.capitoltrades.com/trades
  3. I can take you to a dive site off Pensacola that is a petrified forest. The climate has been changing for a very very long time.
  4. The questioning and concerns are centered on the improper relationship between DA Willis and her "ex-lover" Mr. Wade who apparently was assigned by DA Willis to prosecute the case following the onset of their romantic relationship.
  5. Considering Kamala’s approval rating and current polls I may donate to her Presidential campaign should one materialize.
  6. I take it that you don't want to speculate who would replace President Biden should he drop out? Perhaps Gavin Newsome?
  7. President Biden didn't do himself any favors with respect to his reelection campaign when he popped a circuit breaker and couldn't remember facts and or misspoke several times during a short press conference and speech last night. It looks like he may not make it through to be the Democratic nominee. Who will be the Democratic candidate if Biden drops out?
  8. Would like to have some hope and believe that Brown could be the answer at qb. Then I started to think about Jeremy Johnson and how he looked like Auburn’s next starting qb as the backup for Nick Marshall the year Nick Marshall was a senior. Then I became less hopeful.
  9. Thank you for the recommendation. It is a 12 pm tipoff.
  10. I have never been to an Auburn basketball game and have tickets for the USC vs AU game on 17 December. I have accessed the game day parking lot map to see available lots. Not sure what to expect with respect to parking spot availability. Should I expect the lots to be full well ahead of the game? Thank you for any insight that forum members can provide.
  11. Repairing EVs After A Crash Can Be Pricey BY SEAN MCLAIN Electric-vehicle owners are finding a surprising downside to their new wheels: They tend to be expensive to repair after a crash. When Scott MacFiggen’s neighbor backed into his Rivian R1T pickup truck last summer, the vehicle was left with a dent the size of a bowling ball under a rear taillamp. MacFiggen was expecting a couple-thousand-dollar bill from the repair shop and to be without his truck for a couple of weeks. “I guess I was a little naive,” said the 51-year-old San Francisco resident. The actual bill came to $22,000, and the vehicle took 2½ months to fix. For EVs, repairs after a collision can cost thousands of dollars more than their gas-powered counterparts because the fixes tend to require more replacement parts, the vehicles are more complicated and fewer people do such repairs. While those issues may ease over time, first-time electric owners may be startled by the cost and longer wait times. Last year, repairing an EV after a crash cost an average $6,587 compared with $4,215 for all vehicles, according to CCC Intelligent Solutions, a company that processes insurance claims for auto repairs in the U.S. The costs contrast with the maintenance savings that dealers and automakers promote when trying to get buyers to switch to electric cars and trucks. In addition to not needing gas, EVs tend to require less upkeep. Not needing to do regular chores like oil changes, engine tune ups or replacement of timing belts means electric-vehicle owners spend half as much maintaining their vehicles as their gasoline-owning counterparts, according to Consumer Reports, a nonprofit organization.
  12. This seems high to me but it is factual according to USA Today… https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/08/30/fact-check-dealer-gave-30-000-estimate-replace-volt-battery-electric-car-hybrid/7935230001/
  13. If you don’t realize that the actions and speech of a sitting Congresswoman are tracked more closely than those of a run of the mill male CEO I don’t know how to help you.
  14. You are correct it is inexcusable. I think she needs sensitivity training. Your managers don’t make the news because they are not an elected leader in the U.S. House of Representatives.
  15. Sheila Jackson Lee cussing and berating a staff member in this audio. Man I would hate to work for her. Just terrible. https://www.currentrevolt.com/p/leaked-audio-congresswoman-shelia#details
  16. I believe Peyton Thorne leads all SEC quarterbacks in the category of “staring down a receiver” before you throw to him.
  17. Biden administration waives 26 federal laws to allow border wall construction - ABC News (go.com)
  18. Look at her. She looks to be as crazy as an outhouse rat.
  19. In my opinion the belief that the wonderful world on which we reside came out of chaos is analagous to believing that a tornado could hit a junkyard and a fully functioning jetliner could come out of that weather event.
  20. Being a good man doesn’t make you a good president. Look at Jimmy Carter.
