If you’re wondering why so many people are so concerned about the current Ebola outbreak…
“It was just over a year ago that Elon Musk gleefully declared that they were throwing USAID into the wood chipper. And you may recall that Elon Musk also sheepishly said at his first Cabinet meeting that he mistakenly canceled Ebola prevention…”
HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran:
- Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98%
- Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade)
- Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds
- Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz)
- Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility
- Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium
- Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium
Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains
- Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules
- Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years
- Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years
Ooops, sorry!
That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.
@TheKanehB Pagers used lower frequencies than current cell phones. Lower frequencies can penetrate more materials, and travel farther with less energy loss. But, they can't carry as much data as the frequencies used for cells. Two way pagers were less reliable than one way pagers.
@RVAwonk The only explanation I can think of for their confidence is that rooms might be very negatively pressured, making the mask just to stop a rapid air expression like a cough or a sneeze.
But I agree, an abundance of caution is better.
@loubd0gg@BoraprR8538@WhopperCho58993@LegacyProgramVP Jim Crow laws were still in place until 1965. There were people around in 1965 who were born as slaves. This isn't from some distant time long ago. I wasn't that long ago. The children and grandchildren of people born as slaves are still with us. The pain is still fresh.
The collapse of trust in science is going to go down in history as one of the most sad, bizarre, and destructive social contagions of modern times.
We fed billions, cured diseases and powered nations - yet people ran toward conspiracies instead.
@renaglebagel@swd2@FBIDirectorKash@FBINewark My point is that we should be making it easier for eligible voters to vote and not harder. I agree that we need a way to deal with fraud, but that is a much smaller issue than getting Americans to actually vote.
@renaglebagel@swd2@FBIDirectorKash@FBINewark Expecting that people who work multiple jobs and are stretched thin by personal obligations would register yearly is crazy work. Not that this is what you're advocating for, but I wanted to address your claim of having to register every year and it being easy.
@renaglebagel@swd2@FBIDirectorKash@FBINewark I'm not stomping for fraud. I'm advocating against laws that would disenfranchise many because of an infinitesimally small chance of fraud.
@renaglebagel@swd2@FBIDirectorKash@FBINewark ~0.000003% or 4/158,429,235 of votes cast in the 2020 presidential election is statistically insignificant. There could be 10-100x as many fraudulent votes and it's still not statistically significant enough to make it exponentially harder for eligible voters to vote.
If you were horrified last night watching our elected leaders run and scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed.
Now, becomes a part of the solution and only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.
The media moved on like nothing happened.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Keep sharing this so it doesn’t get buried.
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.
The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
