I don't need to climb Mt Everest to prove my ability to endure Earth's harshest oxygen-starved climate, I've been on this stupid site 9 years
Hordes of narcissist middle aged tech bros paying $100k to die as a douche-sicle on Mt Everest might be a problem, but like most problems it solves itself

Daily Beast editorial meeting
Together we can wipe out the scourge of insolent forklift drivers, plumbers, and rodeo clowns
My 1A stance; to wit, FB/Twitter/YT etc have every right to host or ban whomever they want, for whatever reason. I also hold that the 1A protects not just "journalists," whatever tf that word means, but everybody, including people I don't like. /1

GM diff casting #3707306 = 1956 passenger car, but this is not a '56 chassis, so it is a replacement rear end
parallel leafs = not a Ford
rear lever shocks+tube front shocks = 1933-48ish but not Buick, Cad, Olds, LaSalle

/1
light frame rails, single center x-member = unlikely a truck
solid front axle, prewar = if GM, it's a Chevy
I'm gonna guess 1936-39 Chevy with a later rear axle swap (tho it could be a similar era Mopar, Studebaker, Willys). Sorry, I gave it my best. 2/2

If I were in "My Cousin Vinnie" I'd get all ready to grill Marisa Tomei on whether a 1963 Pontiac Tempest positrac IRS could be swapped into a '64 Skylark, or if the tire tracks could have been a '63-'67 Corvette, but then I'd be like, "mmm Marisa Tomei"

India (Bhārat), aka Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya) constitutes a mosaic of paradoxes and contradictions starting with the existence of gigantic socio-economic disparities which are in sharp contrast with the spectacular technological development in most productive sectors.
Such contradictions reflect significant measurement discrepancies which, in India's case, could be on the order of hundreds of millions of people.
Furthermore, there is the problem of Islamic terrorists, who are trained abroad and find easy fuel in the contradictions within it.
Finally, there’s agriculture which, by some estimates, accounts for 90% of India’s water consumption. Farmers meet irrigation demands by indiscriminately extracting groundwater, which some say accounts for a quarter of the world’s groundwater usage.

I think we can all agree that food is pretty important for survival.

Climate Change is already impacting food security- it is not a distant, ambiguous concern: 

More than 1 million acres of US cropland ravaged by floods

Cascading impacts of deadly flooding around the world includes "food supply shocks"

"A “whiplash” between very dry periods, followed by very wet periods, is exactly what we can expect from climate change"

Already ‘There’s bleeding going on’ in U.S. farm economy, ag lender says, due in part to extreme weather

A prolonged downturn “has impacted farmers of all ages, experience levels and sizes”

Ok, I have been planning this for a while, so here it goes.

A THREAD on why I hate Bernie:
Keep in mind, Bernie lost April 19th with a huge defeat in NY, where he lost to Hillary by 16 points
58% to 42%

Trump won the GOP nomination on May 4th, that is when he became
the GOP nominee, and the GOP started lining up behind him.

Bernie waited until July to concede.
Now here is a good article on why so many people learned to dislike Bernie so much.

Most of us started out liking him, that changed when he became toxic.

Conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi in plea negotiations with Mueller, which could shed light on whether Trump or his advisers were linked to WikiLeaks’ release of hacked Democratic emails in 2016 washingtonpost.com/politics/stone…
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps. One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."

Corsi informed Stone about the planned WikiLeaks Dem email releases 2 months in advance.

And Mueller has the exchange. nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
"Stone responded, "Get to (Assange) [a]t Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending (WikiLeaks) emails."

Corsi passed the request along to conservative author Ted Malloch in London"

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
