I don't care what they own, or what they do with it.

However, I care a lot about their getting a tax break for doing such stupid stuff.

All churches should lose their tax-exempt status.

How is this advice not creepy?

Hitting something that would cause mission-threatening damage would be rare - but the radiation will be a continuous threat.

Well, that's about as realistic as a white Jesus.

On a related note, the tax rate on top earners has been steadily going DOWN since the 50s. See https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/EX62u9bXsAUtRO8.mp4

Think this might be related in inequality?

Our area does. It doesn't work quite as well as salt, but it isn't an environmental nightmare, either.

Remember the problem with the water in Flint? This was primarily due to their using salt on the roads, which washed off into streams, which in turn fed rivers - and Flint was getting their drinking water from these rivers.

The corrosive effect of the salty water was so bad that a local General Motors plant had to stop using it to wash their engine parts, because it was corroding the parts. So, imagine drinking that water.

Also, because it was so corrosive, it dissolved the lead in the pipes, which was the main reason it was such a disaster.

> I feel I could have worded the title better.

Also, that's a useless comparison. We don't eat our roads, and we don't worry about slippery food.

Since homo sapiens began as black, yeah, I'd call that a "sizable impact".

> but the problem is: it sounds plausible to the layperson

Exactly. I'm an engineer, so I asked it to calculate the loading on a beam. The first attempt returned 35 grams, which is 4 orders of magnitude too small. The second attempt returned 800 kg, which is more plausible, but I'd have to do my own calcs to verify it.

There is another aspect of using hydrogen as a fuel for ICE vehicles is rarely discussed. We hear that the exhaust is just water vapor, but this isn't always the case. The combustion temperature is so high that nitrogen from the atmosphere (which is always part of the intake mixture) is converted to nitrous oxides, which are expelled during the exhaust phase of the cycle (nitrous oxides are also produced in regular ICEs). This is an undesirable pollutant.

Probably be a shorter list if it were, "...on the right track".

So, Nightclub California?

Can we please stop posting about Trump (unless, of course, he is actually indicted)? Why should we continually be reminded of him? He has no redeeming qualities, and is poison in the political arena.

Doing this efficiently is a formidable challenge.

It was NOT a riot. It was an insurrection. Huge difference, and the sentences should reflect this difference.

This, the day after Infantino claimed he wants to unite the world.

Jan 6 was not a riot - it was an insurrection. Multi-decade imprisonment should be the appropriate sentence.

So, when Infantino says he wants to "unite the world", does this mean killing migrants?

Does that take into account the teams that are paid to throw the game?

>A clear commitment to phase-out all fossil fuels? Not in this text

...and not likely in any text for the foreseeable future.

Didn't I read recently that certain "elite" fans will be allowed to buy alcohol - at 19,000 pounds a shot?

On a related, and very disturbing note, "Slavery by another name" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcCxsLDma2o) describes peonage, the exception to the 13th Amendment ending slavery, that allowed involuntary servitude to continue for convicts. The problem with this is that police arrested black men on trumped up, or outright false, charges; corrupt judges signed off on these arrests; prison "sold" this free labor to farmers.

Watch the video - peonage was never taught in school, and definitely should have been.

Twitter is rubbish. No sane person should use it.

One other aspect of using H2 as a fuel in an internal combustion engine, is that the temperature in these engines is high enough to produce nitrous oxides (not just water vapor).

So, an employer not allowing its employees to drink on the job. How is that not a good idea?
