Which is why it’s absolutely essential to elect enough Democrats in the Senate to enable court expansion.

A lot of what campaigns do is try to fire up supporters so that they actually vote. Merely “supporting” without actually casting a ballot doesn’t help.

They’re referring to a podcast named Call her Daddy

k = thousand

J =joules

/ = per

cm² = square centimeter

This one’s a weather report; I’m taking it down as off topic.

Yes, Article II, Section 3 says:

he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them

But…if the Speaker of the House doesn’t feel like doing anything, he can make it really difficult to pass anything.

Since that scale was created, we’ve greatly improved building codes, so it might actually make sense.

Cap systems like this are about equivalent to carbon taxes in terms of difficulty in cooperating around, but give certainty about total emissions instead of about future prices. They’re mostly not implemented because they make it clear that you need to actually decarbonize.

You could, for example, cap total importation & extraction at a national or regional level, and lower that cap each year.

It basically says that we need to impose restrictions on both extraction and any kind of commitment to burning.

I think we’re in agreement, just using terms in slightly different ways.

They’ve had the opportunity to use the 25th before and not done so

They don’t capture all the emitted CO2, so it’s a reduction.

Yeah, the ad dollars all went to Facebook and Instagram, since they’re better-able to deliver the kind of targeting that advertisers want, so most local news stopped being financially viable.

Yeah, the ice is thinner, and very likely weaker for a given thickness, so the old rules of thumb about 10cm of ice being enough may not hold.

Yeah, adding the CCS makes the whole thing as expensive as nuclear.

It could, but in practice never is; it’s always things like “we want you to put street numbers on your drivers license, but the reservations don’t have street numbers” or “We’ll accept concealed carry permits, but not student IDs” or “gee, urban residents are less likely to have a driver’s license, let’s mandate that”

They don’t much care what we think, so it’s likely not about anything other than short-term concern that being pro-poison might affect the election.

Most of them have a national ID that everybody gets, not the complex mix of IDs that the US has.

If we had that, and everybody had a national ID as a matter of routine, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But we don’t, because issuing one would be the mark of the beast or something.

It’s probably ordinary cyanoacrylate “super” glue which sets in about 30 seconds. You can unstick somebody using a chemical solvent.
