Arglebargle III posted:The microwave beam was actually a very neat idea for a no-touch crowd control device. The core of the concept is that you are only heating a very thin surface layer of skin, so you don't cause burns. The actual heating is very small. But you are locally heating the layer of skin that contains pain-sensing and heat-sensing nerves that share a lot of sensor proteins. The local heating of that thin layer of tissue causes those nerves to start sending out signals that the skin is on fire, when actually there is very little heat being applied. Yeah, such cool technology!! Exciting what the greatest minds in the world can come up with!

It's also really telling that the "Kenosha, Wisconsin" story is just the unrest as far as they are concerned. The idea of even acknowledging that there is a reason behind the protest is offensive to them.

Epinephrine posted:Katrina peaked at Cat 5 before weakening before landfall. But that doesn't really matter in terms of storm surge because storms build up their surge over time. Yeah, Katrina was down to like Cat 3-4 when it hit the city, but at the time they were expecting the main damage to be due to winds. How devastating the storm surge was caught everyone off guard and it wasn't linearly related to wind speed.

How devastating the storm surge was caught everyone off guard and it wasn't linearly related to wind speed. People always underrate the flooding. Even outside NOLA which had the much more severe problem of levees straight up collapsing, places like Gulfport and Biloxi, MS had tons of damage from super high storm surge.

Willo567 posted:So you think that the polls are full of poo poo and that Biden is losing? I think the polls are cooked to build consent. I think Trump and Biden is a toss up after the same type of polling showed Clinton in the lead and dismissal of Trump lead to all this, I think we shouldn’t be comfortable. I think Biden is ineffective and, a mistake, and the Centrists will be ok losing because their main fear is the left and yhe point was to stop that. I think they’re the same thing as the Republicans and won’t improve things but just hold steady and push austerity and still want to privatize the post office and cut social security, and they’ll be ok if Trump is the one to do it as long as they can blame him as being the one for it. I think they’re not fighting hard nor a true opposition. They’ve always wanted Republican donors so accepting former Republicans is a dream for them.

It's wild that the Kennedy legacy is going to die because of a goofy attempt to replace a GND supporter with a fracker. https://twitter.com/SteveKornacki/status/1298684116376989697?s=20 This failson could have gone for pretty much any other seat.

It's gotten better since at least. Katrina made a big shift in hurricane coverage. People still speak of hurricanes by wind speed category, but expected storm surge gets a lot more focus in forecasts and news coverage than it used to.

quote:I think Biden is ineffective and, a mistake, and the Centrists will be ok losing because their main fear is the left and yhe point was to stop that Centrism losing to Trump, one of the weakest and most ineffectual presidents in recent history who basically has passed one big law and the rest is just about owning the libs....twice, is an incredible indictment of centrism. I'm not going to tolerate the idea the democratic party isn't actually going left either. The fact that an actual self-described socialist can not only come close to winning nomination twice, but is seen as a leader of a powerful faction of the democratic party that must be appeased and popular to the general electorate shows that it is getting better. It's just too slow and there is so much work to get people to compromise and break our way. If Trump wasn't such a genuine loving threat to our republic it probably would actually be in our best interests that he did win. But right now Biden getting in is in all American's best interests. And it sucks. I'm not enthusiastic about voting for him either. But this is one of the problems of a "First past the post" voting system.

Yeah. I think it’s a travesty in today’s environment we have to choose between an senile woman abusing Nazi and an senile woman abusing segregationist but here we are and Biden may lead to more stability even if I have no faith they will actually work to improve things.

Nonsense posted:https://twitter.com/ByMHarrington/status/1298745568639045632?s=20 This almost feels like it works better. Canada has a lot of problems with racism against the First Nations population, but Toronto is part of a functioning country where cops aren't currently shooting people execution-style and giving succor to paramilitary teenagers who do the same. They get to have sports. Sports fans from Wisconsin, on the other hand, need to fix their poo poo before people will play games for their entertainment.

WNBA games are still being played tonight, but here's what the Washington Mystics wore to warmup. https://twitter.com/WashMystics/status/1298735896972398596 MLS has games tonight and there's already been one "Solidarity" tweet from the MLSPA to the NBAPA so I wouldn't be surprised if something happens there as well. The MLS began it's bubble tournament in June with all of the league's Black players (that weren't playing it's opening match) circling the field and standing in silence with raised fists for 8:46. They've begun every game since with no anthem and players taking a knee. There have only been a few games played since they restarted the season with fans in attendance, but would you be surprised that people threw poo poo at kneeling players in Dallas?
