  1. They use the osmotic difference between treated wastewater and the brine discharge of a reverse osmosis desalination plant to generate a meager amount of electricity. This will never scale.
  2. A better approach for CA is to lump all of the existing republican representatives into a single fucked up looking congressional district. Make them fight for the 1 red seat thunderdome style. You also reduce the chance of an incumbent republican going against a new democrat even though it might be a 10+ dem district.
  3. The exumas are amazing and you picked a great time to go. Shroud Cay (mangrove creek going from banks to ocean side) is among the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
  4. Done in isolation this could backfire in a big way during a blue wave year. But next they'll purge a shitload of blue voters and reduce voting machines and locations in blue areas to prevent that from happening.
  5. It's only unprofitable when the commie fake news media reports on the deaths.
  6. 80k for a Nissan?! If you want to light some money on fire then buy a boat. At least those are fun.
  7. Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group So when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too
  8. I'm in Virginia for 2 weeks to do some boat work. We'll return in October for final prep, splash, and then haul ass south. Our starboard engine overheated last year when it went above 2000rpm and I finally got time to rip apart the raw and fresh water cooling systems to clean them and replace several bits. This would explain a large part of the overheating issue: The boatyard expanded 2 years ago and can now fit 85 catamarans. This is about a third of them:
  9. I withhold judgement until we know how old the couch was that he fornicated with.
  10. They're only on Linux because it's free.
  11. I love the term "Habsburg AI" for AI that is trained on its own garbage.
  12. NOAA says bend over.
  13. Yup cruise departed Valparaiso on Jan 20 and ended Buenos Aires on Feb 05. The 20' seas are no problem on a ship that big. There was some movement on the boat but nothing bad. No one in our group got seasick.
  14. We did a 2 week cruise to Antartica last year on Princess. The ocean can be rough even during the "calm" season when ships can cross the Drake Passage. We got lucky; the seas were only 20' but the cruise prior to ours saw much higher winds and waves in the 40-50' range. We had 1 great day in Antartica when the winds were calm and no fog but the other two days were fogged in. You couldn't see beyond the boat. One of our ports was cancelled as the winds forced the boat to fuel up in a commercial port. Other ports of call were Ushuaia, Montevideo, and Falkland Islands. All pretty cool. We also spent a week before and after the cruise in Santiago and Buenos Aires. Overall it was awesome and I'm glad we did it. We also travelled with friends which made a huge difference as there were a lot of sea days and we had people to party with.
