Thousands. Most horrifying thing about that story is the name "Skydance MacMahon." "Son, now that you're old enough, let me explain how you're life's going to unfold: you are going to be horribly bullied through school, so much so that you'll be unable to form real emotional connections to adults, but only children under the age of 12. Eventually, this will get you arrested and you will die in jail an old man. All because we named you 'Skydance.'" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 2 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: My takeaway was the incredibly childish worldview that if you close your eyes and wish for happy things the bad guys would go away. Klion probably doesn't recognize how his article destroys Obama's legacy by affirming 44's indecisiveness and vacillations on critical foreign policy and military actions. Sure, he had a goof heart and good intentions, but in the end, they failed miserably. Quote What, in short, would it mean to be a leftist in foreign policy? In Rhodes’s memoir, we see occasional glimmers of what a left approach to foreign policy might look like. He describes in great detail the personal relationship that he developed with Alejandro Castro Espín (the son of Raúl and nephew of Fidel) while negotiating to restore relations with Cuba, offering a heartening glimpse of what US foreign policy might look like if it were entirely predicated on good-faith efforts to create a more peaceful, just, and open world. And everywhere Rhodes goes, he makes sure the president meets with people from all walks of life. He also tries to make amends for past US crimes; for instance, inspired by an episode of the late Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown, he convinces Obama to pledge $100 million to cleaning up unexploded ordnance in Laos.

People in the world don't want the US to make amends for past US crimes. They want to DESTROY us for them. Of all people, American leftists should understand that, since the entirety of their domestic policy is founded on destroying people for past crimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's at the very least interesting that three large quakes - which could be something else entirely - happened right in the area where these devices were reportedly installed. It's an active area in terms of quakes, but the size of these are well above the normal range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relative frequency of quakes by magnitude goes by 10^(-M), where M is the magnitude. The fault off the Pacific Northwest is a subduction zone that can generate quakes in the 8.5+ range. 6.5's are unexpected, but not unusual given the frequency distribution and nature of the fault line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
