Newsom's new laws have been a complete fiasco, gutting what should have been a healthy flow of tax revenue, and pushing the bulk of cannabis back underground. He has done zero to improve the situation for years now. So, no real loss if Newsom goes down; he is utterly incompetent. (Also, he opened up way too quickly.)

It is like the Republican senators turning away from the video evidence on Wednesday. It is the same as their rejection of Trump being Putin's stooge, even though the evidence is overwhelming. Their dedication to maintaining their delusion is total. Their insanity is believing loyalty to Trump is loyalty to Jesus!

racocn8 comments on Feb 9, 2021:

What do Conservatives believe that is wrong? Among many others: 1. White men should be in the front of the line for opportunities and everyone else should take a number. Non-whites should not be allowed to fairly compete, and that they are lazy. Discriminating for any reason is OK; might makes right and police must protect white privilege, and keep non-whites down. Laws shall keep non-whites in their place. 2. Only white Christians should be allowed to immigrate. Non-whites should be exported out of the country. 3. Agnostics, atheists and scientists worship Satan or hate god, and are going to hell. 4. White men should not be investigated for wrongdoing and should receive much lighter sentencing or get off. Non-whites should be in jail or sent overseas to fight wars. 5. Women should stay home and have babies. Women should not be able to control when or if they have babies. Non-white children may be removed from their parents to be adopted by infertile white Christians. 6. Fascism that supports the white power structure is preferable to Democracy. Any and all forms of socialism is atheist communism in disguise. The top 1% should not have to pay taxes. 7. etc

Only his wealth has kept him from being convicted dozens of times. That hardly amounts to innocence. It does amount to the guilt we all should feel for tolerating a thoroughly corrupt system. A system that allows a psychotic crook to gain a following and to use his cult status to gain office. Shame, shame, shame on those who can still have it. As for the shameless, we must resolve never to trust them again. They will never deserve it.

I would say that in the event of a friendly encounter, that a person should attempt some sort of barter. However, I believe these visits occur under rules set by the game warden, and that one of those rules would be to forbid leaving artifacts behind. Just as the military carefully sweeps areas of contact to ensure no traces remain.

They tried to increase the thickness and strength of the varnish (conformal coating). Sometimes it worked, but sometimes the whiskers still managed to punch through. In some instances, the whiskers can grow long enough to contact other circuit elements and cause a malfunction.

Along with the saber-tooth tigers were dire wolves. I was also impressed by a bear skeleton the size of a Volkswagen.
