Posted by: Guy Smiley at February 17, 2021 09:46 AM (Bmy3R) Reminds me of a story I read in a Bennett Cerf collection about a couple of young women who, while frolicking in the sand, came across an older gentleman asleep on a blanket with a camera next to him. Since no-one was around, they stripped, took pictures of themselves and put his camera back in place before dressing and running away, leaving the poor man to explain his holiday shots to the developer.

Well, thanks, but from my POV (and what I think the Bible says) were all sinners in needs of God's grace and that, of course, would include me. A saint in Paul's terminology is a follower of Christ, so anybody here who is a Christian is a saint even though most of us won't be declared canonized Saints by the RCC. And anyone who wants me to pray for their soul is already close enough to God to go to HIM and ask for a little soul power. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at February 17, 2021 09:56 AM (VP4Cd) 136

Since we're past 100, Tom Servo in the last thread mentioned the adventurer / writer Richard Halliburton.
Halliburton vanished in 1939, as he was attempting to sail a Chinese junk around the world. Alan Landsburg, who created the In Search Of series, wrote a companion book, In Search of Missing Persons which featured a chapter on Halliburton. Landsburg theorised that he had grown tired of life and decided the best way to go out was "during an adventure" and sailed off knowing he would die. Landsburg based this on testimony he read and received from people who knew Halliburton and those who stated that the junk he was sailing was so unseaworthy that it could never survive the trip.

And as it turns out, kill the living due to power outages when it's really hot and now really cold. Those power plants weren't truly replaced. Just some unreliable and impractical windmills built in west Texas. On the upside, these got Guv Abbott a pretty little fake award a couple of weeks before the Freeze for being the Greenest of Them All.

I suspect that it is because the Left, now that they have won, are doing a classic gangster move after taking over a new territory: ice one of their quislings in full view of the others to make it clear under no uncertain terms who is in charge and who holds all the cards. They're killing off one of them deliberately to put the others on notice that they will continue to do as they're told and do so more loudly and obviously than ever or they too will be killed. They're an object lesson. As to why they were selected to be the object lesson, I suspect the answer is "because they're also enormous assholes."

Posted by: WiNO - Now Fortified with Fraud at February 17, 2021 10:28 AM (+4D1M) ++++ I disagree with this in part. The data show that nothing they have done - masking, social distancing, lockdowns, curfews, etc. - actually have any effect. It essentially has been "running its course" like anything else, and nothing they have done actually changed the outcome. So given that nothing has worked and the spread has been essentially unchecked, it is what it is. The vaccine will unlikely make a significant difference, either. It is all just an excuse to implement their desires. They could have done what they did or they could have done nothing and the outcomes disease-wise would be the same. Had they done nothing, though, we'd be much better off. Even if what they did had been effective, this disease isn't bad enough to justify it. The cure - even if it had worked - is worse than the disease.

the COVID mRna injections are not vaccines. They're some kind of experimental, dangerous gene editing.
***** That is incorrect and unhelpful. No gene editing is involved. They ARE a vaccine in that a viral spike protein is introduced into the body (using mRNA and the cell's own machinery to make the protein), in order to provoke an immune response specific to that protein. Unknown factors include the length of time effective immunity is conferred as well as long-term possible autoimmune reactions (unintended harm caused to tissues of the body by the provoked immune response).

It's been rushed, not through development necessarily but certainly through validation and effect-tracking. I am fairly low risk. I'm young. I'm overweight but have no other health problems.

Referencing the unauthorized captial tour on 1/6: A left-wing activist facing criminal charges for his involvement in the Capitol riots received $35,000 from both CNN and NBC for footage he recorded of a Trump supporter being fatally shot inside the Capitol building, according to records he filed in federal court on Tuesday.-- I've yet to see Ashli Babbitt named in any msm report to this day. She is always reduced to a descriptor, usually with negative connotations. Unpersoned. If we had the balls of the left, Sunday brunch would be interrupted by people demanding you Say Her Name.

The main thing that concerns me about the mRNA vaccines is that they were approved on an emergency basis. That means they didn't have to jump through all the hoops and conduct the tests needed for regular FDA drug approval. And all this for a disease that's what? .02% fatal. I know Sanofi is coming up with a traditional vaccine. Any other companies going the traditional route with a vaccine out soon? The other problem is that we aren't hearing real science right now. mRNA vaccines should work. But, if they're telling us all this silliness that the vaccinated need to stay quarantined cuz the vaccine won't protect them, then WTF? Politics and science don't mix.

The other day, I heard a PSA on the radio about the COVID vaccine being safe and tested. However, if you look, you can't find the results of the long term clinical trials because they were never done.

Virus is going to virus. I don't trust that any of the measures taken have done anything to materially alter the spread.
(I guess if you quarantined at home for months on end, never going out, never seeing anyone, maybe that would have an effect, but such people are few, and not enough to alter the spread generally). If it weren't for the near-total media propaganda, people would have shrugged this off and just got on with their lives. Posted by: Revenant at February 17, 2021 10:42 AM (NJXJJ) 360

If things get chaotic here (take the Irish Troubles as an example), someone will eventually convince himself that hitting Washington, New York, Miami, San Francisco and Los Angeles would be in his best interest because it would knock the USA off the world stage and we'd be unable to respond due to internal strife.

The J&J vaccine is an adenovirus vaccine, which has been studied a bit more, and is in clinical trials for things like TB, HIV and ebola. It is, however, experimental, but different than the mRNA.

MP4,
I would take that report about the junk not being seaworthy with a grain of salt. My husband owned a Chinese junk, long before he met me. He was working in the shipyards and met a Korean that had worked on junks. They are built completely different from our seagoing boats, but it does not mean they aren't seaworthy. He sold it after his son was born. The guy that bought it had it rebuilt as a modern style boat. It weakened it and it could not longer go out in deep water. But it still crops up for sale. Boat was called Phai Lon. Posted by: Notsothoreau - look forward at February 17, 2021 11:11 AM (5HBd1) 475
Did they say the cause? Was it surging load tripping circuit breakers as other sources went offline? Was it supply problems with fuel? Was it the works freezing up? Would those plants have gone offline if not for surging base load due to heating and loss of 10+% of generation capacity occurring simultaneously?

So, what was originally buried deep enough can become too close to the surface. Also, in northern climates, MN, specifically, snow acts as an insulator, preventing the frost line from going to deep. However, what can and has happened, is weeks of sub zero weather, coupled with no snow, will drive the frost line deep enough to freeze pipes, even though they are buried per code.

The selected solution, for the Texas energy problems will be two: 1) a call to cut more production because energy is bad, 2) a call to replace more of the energy generation with magical renewable unicorn farts.
The best "solution" to any problem is the one that creates more problems and more of a need for "solutions". Posted by: banana Dream at February 17, 2021 11:17 AM (q54f8) 508

What happened is the same reason PG&E burned up all those areas. When you spend all that money on expensive renewables, you leave the rest of your equipment on the ragged edge. And then in extreme events they fail.
Posted by: Loki Not completely. The laws stipulated that PG&E were not allowed to cut back the growth from around the lines as well. Lots of fuel for the fire. (I may have that wrong... it might be that with all the money mandated on *green* spending they didn't have the funds to keep the encroaching greenery in check.)

PGE was also prevented from maintaining their equipment, along with trimming back trees along powerline right of ways.

Ercot needs to be put out of business and someone with a fucking BRAIN that DOESN'T buy into this whole AGW bullshit and can provide me POWER when I need it.
We have more natural resources than most places on EARTH. This is unacceptable. Abbott needs to be held accountable for this as well. He signed off on the boondoggle. *** You know what's coming.

Portland always has these power outages. They like to leave a single Doug fir standing, maybe next to an apartment complex. Those trees do not have tap roots and will fall over if the ground gets saturated. They never learn

They brought as many of the farm animals in as they could, so he's shivering on the couch with goats, calves and the dogs. Posted by: Moki at February 17, 2021 11:21 AM (+X9Vs) 531
A friend of mine in Cleburne, Texas (30 minutes south of FW) just sent me a picture of the local propane supplier, with a line of people standing out in the parking lot in the cold waiting for a chance to buy propane.

Trump started no wars, so they hate him.

I'd also like to ask these idiots who blame these fires on global warming, that, if that's the case, then why not do a bit of mitigation so as to limit the amount of damage caused by fire? Yeah yeah, I know, common sense eludes the global warming cultists. Posted by: blake - Dr semi lurker in marginal standing at February 17, 2021 11:51 AM (2SdPm) 544
