Car driving mortality rate now matches death by gun. Not quite as impressive as it seems, as 2/3rds of gun deaths are self-inflicted, but the chart does show a good trend-line for car safety. You'll note how WaPo twisted the headlines into anti-gunner rhetoric despite their own story showing that headline to be misleading.
Of course, they aren't shiftless welfare hordes, so that generally keeps you from decomposing in your chair in advance of death. Hilarious that the GOP wants to expel them for working hard (dey DERK ER DERRRBS!!) instead of for being welfare leeches.
At least 33,480 Americans dead, at least 100k given enough rads to become cancerous. Yet another reason the USG is waaaay more dangerous than those 'scary' terrorists.
As to the Turks, I somewhat understand being upset by the presence of a warship of your traditional enemy in the bosporus. The UK, not so much. Sounds like a 'fear' story though, so likely pure propaganda.
Can't say I'm surprised, they probably are looking to scam people via abusing their SSNs. One wonders how many folks will get offed just because they rightly don't carry the card in their wallet and don't have their SSN memorized?
...Unfortunately, the only business restored so far is the crony postal and phone services. So, while you can now directly mail things there (and probably have it be heavily scrutinized/sanitized for contraband) or get your calls listened to, this is actually a troubling sign, as it seems the USA only wants to enrich their cronies (as usual).
All stuff I know about, but it is good to listen to if you haven't already read about this either through the sources he cites or in "Food of the Gods" by Terrence McKenna (where I found out about this).
So, basically, use water like a battery for your solar energy, which instead of going into physical batteries, just pumps water. Then you can have a steady flow out, albeit at a considerable efficiency loss, I'd suspect. Sounds like it could easily become a boondoggle.
I wonder if this is part of the sick morality in America that views "sex crimes" as somehow more heinous than murder. Lord knows the Po Po certainly get treated with lighter gloves on a murder rap.
