As an NC State grad (and masshole) I will pretend to be outraged at this and then go back to not paying attention to football.

Fighting? Jersey natives? Never.
Yeah I can fully understand the desperation. I thought Jobs started with the homeopathy before the cancer but either way. I'm sorry for your loss <3
Still not sure we're not talking about Steve Jobs :D
Was your local guy Steve Jobs? Cause that's pretty much how he died too
Cool - they can pray all they want. Show up to a hospital? Dump em at a church, save the rest of us the time and money.
Augusteau?
This looks like it should be a Thrashers flag.

Anyone remember that overton window bit about the compromise for genocide and no genocide being a little genocide?
Putting this into the universe feels like asking for the worst book-musical adaptation in history. War and Peace and Music? The Alchemist with live sheep? Harry Potter and the Guild of Singing TERFS?
Well duh, he doesn't like the American public.
Pot, Kettle. Kettle, Pot.
57 is young now?
BUT HE TWEETS IN ALL CAPS LIKE TRUMP DOES AND ITS FUNNY 🤮
Remember kids (billionaires) the alternative to not paying your fair share doesn't tend to end well.

The fuck is a centrist in 2025 if not a fan boy for the DNC?
I'm sure Palantir will appreciate the contracts.
1. People who think like this really do not understand how crime, poverty, and parenting overlap. 2. Did Adams just point a handgun at his face with his thumb on the trigger or am I seeing things? (Assuming confirmed unloaded and described as a heavy action, but really?)
Are there Lawdork Commemorative Shot Glasses?
Miller got beat up so bad as a grade-school kid he became a Nazi (at least that's my head-canon)
20-25% of all private universities in the US are explicitly Christian Schools. These folks liked Separate but Equal so damn much why can't they handle it for themselves?
I thought they put the fake in a shot glass until you posted this reply.
The left would never tear up the rule book and hack and slash to replace a government. It's not like there's a convenient and proven piece of technology for removing heads of state.
Was there a Ukrainian present to mediate between?

This much I understand, but it's also one of the primary reasons for opposition. I would prefer it for that reason but if the goal is representation that seems like a really hard fight, especially right now.
Why is that? Is the city a burden economically?
Question from the uninformed - is there a reason we typically focus on DC Statehood opposed to retrocession?
Yes, it's absolutely a good thing - just one that could easily be better here. It's a system that makes a lot of sense when you need to move goods thousands of miles. My issue is that despite that; we still do a ton of cross-country trucking.
Wrt SAF - there's not a ton of engines out there fully equipped for it at this point. Airline adoption is still low; but the technology is always being progressed by the major turbine manufacturers. My point there was things are still in the pipeline, but power gen can largely be green with just $
If you've got a limited amount of political will to make moves; tackling domestic flight is quite a huge fight and you've either got to tell people they cannot travel or that we need to spend billions (while polluting) to build better train infrastructure.
For example, long haul freight trucking in the US is one of our primary goods movers. We already have the infrastructure in place to move the cross-country trucking to trains and even dirty trains are ~25% of the emissions. Electric trucks aren't likely to be adopted here anytime soon.
the US to adopt a train for say, New York to LA is very unlikely to ever happen. I don't think that's correct or good, but if you've got to fight an uphill battle somewhere, that may not be the best one to die on. Especially when we're huge carbon contributors elsewhere.
I don't disagree with anything you're saying. However, the primary reason that US domestic flying is so high is because the country is massive and spread-out. Trains that don't exist here would be a huge boon in some areas (NE corridor, SoCal, Great Lakes), but construction aside, trying to get
I do really appreciate this conversation and I apologize if I came across as snarky.
Especially given the current climate here. US Aircraft engine manufacturers are targeting EU policy to avoid extra variants. They're also working actively toward SAF, hydrogen, hybrid/electric. Our electricity generation however has gone back to: burn it down and laugh at the future.
My original point stands though (for the US) flights aren't the biggest source of our emissions, and in admittedly my US focused original view point: there are bigger fish to unfuck.
US Pop 2022: ~333M, UK: ~68M. ~5x 297/29.4 ~= 10x The US does emit more per capita than the UK; but the numbers show that. Percentages are not wrong in either source, the UK obviously leans towards international flight given size and location vs. largely isolated US domestic flight.
Please correct me if something is wrong in my numbers here but from both of our sources (2022 numbers, mtco2e): Civil + Mil Aviation: 2.2 (0.54%) International Aviation: 27.4 (6.7%) National Consumption: 406 Aviation: 231 (3.6%) International Aviation: 66 (1%) National Consumption: 6,343
I'm trying to write this in the least argumentative way possible, without phrasing it in a way that makes me sound like a dickhead on the internet, I'm not trying to be, honestly. Unsourced numbers and "trust me" isn't data and is especially frustrating when I've provided sources for my claim.
European data would suffice too - we can always compare mass per capita that way. I don't see the point in continuing a discussion otherwise.
I am not saying Aviation is clean. I am not saying the EU isn't cleaner than the US. I am saying there are better uses of time, money, and political will. You've several times misdirected the conversation to "but also this" and not once backed up a claim. I am fully open to being wrong on usage.
I am happy to be wrong if you can present a reputable source. I'm not looking to shill for fossil fuels. The premise of my argument is that aviation is a small impact comparatively with a ways to go on tech to be 'green'. Where as the tech exists for much more carbon limited gen energy production.
You're not wrong that it isn't included here however, it's not a major difference. Same report. Columns are by reporting period, last one is 2022, value is millions of metric tons of CO2 equivalent. It's less than a 3rd of the rest of aircraft emissions, just shy of a percent of total.
I do agree though that passing the costs of emissions onto the consumer is ridiculous. Power companies have been knowing profiting off the destruction of the planet for 50+ years now. Nationalize them all or regulate them into submission.
transportation emissions are flight. Roughly 30% of all US emissions are transportation, 30% of 9% is 3%. Fuck private jets but turning 3% into 2.5% isn't the right target imo. www.epa.gov/ghgemissions...
Source? US Data from 2022 "The largest sources of transportation greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 were light-duty trucks ... (37%); medium- and heavy-duty trucks (23%); passenger cars (20%); commercial aircraft (7%); other aircraft (2%); pipelines (4%); ships and boats (3%); and rail (2%)." 9% of

For global warming Air Travel is a huge misdirect. Not saying we shouldn't be moving towards cleaner more efficient engines - but focusing on 1-3% of total emissions vs the 30% of electricity and heat gen or even the 15% from road construction might be a little more useful.
Without CO2 what would trees breath? -This Dumbfuck
The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Also so much of the DC Rhetoric from the right is just "I'm afraid of everything!" despite claiming to be some kind of masculine paragon.
"Visible poor and visible minorities is a crime to my eyes" -both of these chuds
Long Term "protectorates"/insular areas are fundamentally un-American if their citizens have no choice in the matter.
LA was the dry run. The next to zero push back from the courts or legislature was the green light for the real deal.
feelin like it's getting close to reminding folks why recognizing unions was a pretty good deal for the upper echelon...
"Well obviously things are dangerous in high concentration" - Zeldin *Looking around at atmosphere* yeah about that...
This reads incredibly intentionally comparing national and local statistics. US ~20% Hispanic, South Central LA ~80% Hispanic. No shit there's a higher number of groups speaking Spanish to each other.
If you hide the word Prison you could have said this was a summer camp and I'd have bought it.
Well if you've made it to linear algebra and you're looking for more calculus there's always numerical methods for pdes! I'm sure there's a process engineer near you somewhere, just look for the person slamming their head on the desk repeatedly.
Only if you hate yourself :)
I'm an aerodynamicist - the average layman is absolutely a subject matter expert and does not need 7 years of calculus to do my job.
It's okay though because Biggest Balls will come through and take it back.
Huh, you know I swear I've seen groups of people in the back of moving truck rentals recently... wonder where that was.
If there's any lasting impact on the political landscape in terms of candidates from GWB it will be that you can pretend to be something you're not, do an awful job of it, and still convince more than half the country the lie is real.
He also popularized the idea of voting for an Every-man with a lot of current voters. Jr was the president "you could have a beer with" despite him being in recovery. He was an "every day American" despite being a member of a political dynasty. He wasn't a "coastal elite" despite being a Yale grad.
Do a flip!
Undeserved benefit of the doubt: I think he was just trying to mime a missile flying.
I'm not exactly "anti-gun" but I can only imagine someone killed by gun violence would have the first solution of: Less Guns (maybe the 2nd solution of cops that don't piss themselves when asked to do their job)
I'm so out of touch with pop-culture that I thought all this talk was somehow about the King of the Franks
By pro-birth folks standards isn't he a voter now?

As part of the *radical* 🏄♂️ left, I felt this sigh in my soul.
The scholarship point always kills me - like maybe lets fix the broken insanity of college tuition? Nope that's a handout, lets blame 10 athletes and <1% of the population instead.
1C: Extreme weather, coral loss, sea rise. (Today) 2C: Food stress, reef death, water scarcity for 25% of the planet. (Locked) 3C: Coastal floods, mass displacement, dead Amazon. 4C: Global ag failures, runaway climate change. 5–6°C: Ocean anoxia, large unlivable areas, global civilization collapse.
This is how I smiled in elementary school 😁
I will be absolutely shocked when cops responded to a situation better than adequately in basically any context these days.
Reminds me of all of the folks making homophobic remarks about Trump and Putin, Elon, etc.
This has always been the strongest "shits fucked" argument for me. If you end up in a situation where ceding power means personal consequences (not just political ones at this point), why would you ever willingly give it up? Much like Musk's "if Trump loses I'm going to prison" (para).
Reichstag moment?
To clarify: I mean for this non-existent invasion.
When does the AEA being entirely bullshit actually start mattering?
Maybe, maybe, just one single chud will realize it now.

How in the heck the anti-vax, chemtrail, moon-landing deniers, end up in charge of anything other than their own sad lives is mind blowing. I'm still not unconvinced we all died in 2020 and this is hell.
LotR reference name? Are we sure that's not a Peter Thiel alt account?
People who cannot understand the purpose of a liberal education lack critical thinking skills - it'd be funnier if it weren't so tragic.
At least they'll have a green platform with turning "low-producing" individuals into bio-fuel...
Anyone up for a Holiday? Maybe in Cambodia?
A whole host of veggies will grow up a trellis a long ways if you give them one. I grow my cukes up tomato cages so keep the soon-to-be-pickles off the ground.
1) A bit harder to be a brooding vagabond when sleeping outside is illegal, hoping trains can get you prison, and a blister will bankrupt you. 2) There's absolutely some crusty folk-punk types still living exactly this way, it's just less romantic in 2025.
