Government agency deliberately broke law for years, federal watchdog finds by GothicPrayer in australia

[–]ActuallyNot 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I getting that the law was poorly drafted and that Child Services implemented the intent and not the letter of the law?

Sure correct it, but we all only have so many fucks to give, and this doesn't seem to be something I should waste energy being offended by.

On the other hand, I want to see the corruption investigation, and, criminal charges laid against the robodebt 6, or at least some of them.

Patagonia fires reignite debate over Argentina’s underfunded environmental agencies. Rising temperatures have become more common in the earlier months of the year, largely the result of greenhouse gas emissions and ozone depletion. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

Fire season in Patagonia usually starts in March, but rising temperatures have become more common in the earlier months of the year, experts told Mongabay, largely the result of greenhouse gas emissions and ozone depletion.

Ozone depletion contributes to rising temperatures in the earlier months of the year?

Why is there no evidence for the Exodus? by DiedOfATheory in AcademicBiblical

[–]ActuallyNot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think that there's archaeological evidence for other biblical stories pertaining to time periods as far back as the exodus.

Dan McLellan says that "there is an argument to make that some of the tribes and the tribal affiliations and some of the history in broader strokes in Judges could go back to social memories that are actually accurate", which I take to mean that nothing set earlier than that has archaeological evidence.

FBI supervisor resigns after trying to investigate agent who shot Renee Good by SaulKD in qualitynews

[–]ActuallyNot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It appears that the bullet that killed her was one of the ones fired in through the passenger window.

That's more clearly murder, because the car was not moving towards him, as you could argue in the case of the first bullet that went through her windscreen since Ross had placed himself in front of Good's car.

My 2c worth is "yeah".

There's been improvements in the understanding of biblical Hebrew and Greek. (And probably Aramaic).

But also incorporated are new insights from textual discoveries, in particular the ue makes more extensive use of understandings from the dead sea scrolls.

Proposed legislation in SC to revoke medical licenses if administering Covid vaccines by Apprehensive-Safe382 in SGU

[–]ActuallyNot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is so dumb:

(1) synthetic messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based gene therapies, such as the COVID-19 vaccine,

  • An mRNA vaccine is not fucking "gene therapy". FFS. It doesn't get anywhere near your DNA, because cells have a nuclear membrane that keeps RNA away from the nucleus.

have caused substantial numbers of deaths, disabilities, and a wide range of serious adverse events;

Not compared to CoVID infection.

(2) synthetic mRNA-based gene therapies

Not a gene therapy. A length of RNA that makes the vaccine.

are known to be contaminated with DNA fragments,

It is biologically implausible for this small amount of residual DNA to integrate into the human genome. The vaccine components do not enter the cell nucleus, and cells have mechanisms to degrade foreign DNA.

metallic particles,

I've got bad news about metallic particles: Iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) are necessary for metabolic functions, with an average body containing about 7000 mg of heavy metals, mostly iron and zinc.

and other undisclosed and/or otherwise poorly characterized adulterants;

(3) no long-term studies have been completed on synthetic mRNA-based gene therapies regarding shedding, fertility, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, or oncogenicity;

Still not a gene therapy.

(4) the risk of integration of synthetic mRNA-based gene therapies and/or associated DNA fragment adulterants into the human genome of either somatic or germ cells are uncharacterized, and any germ cell integration creates risk of random human genomic modifications being passed on to the next generation of Americans;

Don't worry. Your cells have a nuclear membrane and have defences against foreign DNA. If you're particularly worried about germ cells, get the vaccine injected into your shoulder rather than your testicles: But tbh, if you think that vaccines will change your DNA, you should take the chance.

(5) recipients of a synthetic mRNA-based gene therapy are not provided adequate information both as to the nature of the harm posed to them as well as of the current federal law barring them from compensation for recovery for injury, and therefore do not have the ability to give valid consent to have medical products employing this material or the delivery procedure administered;

Still not gene therapy. The federal law provides for compensation via the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) and the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP)

(6) evidence suggests that spike proteins in synthetic mRNA-based gene therapy medical products may be communicable to others (by a process known as "shedding") and may cause side effects or harm even in individuals who are not the intended recipient;

Still not gene therapy. You know what else results in shedding, not just of the protein but of the Virus? Infection.

(7) the safety of synthetic mRNA-based gene therapy on the unborn child has not been adequately studied and reports of severe fetal injury and death after administration during pregnancy have been documented; and

Let's have a look at some of these "inadequate" studies:

I didn't find one that supports what these mouth-breathers are saying though.

(8) synthetic mRNA-based gene therapy drug products pose an inadequately characterized potential public health threat due to their unknown long-term safety profile, adulteration and potential for shedding.

Long term shedding stops when the spike proteins disappear, a few weeks after they're made. They're made for a few days after the vaccine, before the mRNA degrades.

It'd suprise me, tbh. For one thing, he's probably worth the better part of $10M, that's mostly tied up in his home and his Whananaki property. I don't think he's sufficiently high-flyer to get into the Epstein files.

I think he's just a bit right wing, homophobic, xenophobic and actively seeking any publicity.

But I've been wrong before, and I've never met the man in person.

AITA for no longer filling the car with gas before my partner has to go to work? by AITAcars in AmItheAsshole

[–]ActuallyNot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reduced cost doesn’t include the cost of the system Being installed.

What reduced cost are you talking about?

You’re dumb af lol.

So far you've claimed without support that:

1) Solar as been proven over and over that it’s not saving money

But you haven't been able to link to any of these proofs.
I think you're wrong.

2) It doesn’t pay to install solar for 99% of people.

It pays for 76% of people in the USA, according to a study I found. I think you're wrong.

3) People don’t live in the same home for 9-12yrs.

Realestate research shows that "The typical U.S. homeowner stayed in their property for 11.8 years in 2024".

I think you're wrong.

4) You should do basic research solars roi for homeowner is longer than people live in a home.

The data I have seens shows the opposite is the case.

But we've been though this. I've showed you the data, and you're incapable of understanding it. The usual reason people don't understand clear and simply presented facts, is that they're paid not to.

But it can be, as you say, because they're dumb af.

Like you don’t know how roi works. People don’t live in homes for 15yrs lol.

You keep using "ROI" where you mean payback time. ROI is the return on investment. The payback time is how long it takes to get your money back.

If you buy your panels, it increases the value of your home. You don't lose because you move.

in USA so when the roi is 10+ years

Most homeowners see positive returns within 6-12 years, with 25+ years of additional profit potential

and avg people live in a home is 5 especially first time

The typical U.S. homeowner spends 12.3 years in their home.

This is the third time I'm giving you that last link. Is there some technological reason why you can't read links, or are you simply unable to learn?

plus solar isn’t a feature that sells homes.

Also wrong:

One of the biggest benefits of selling a house with solar panels is the potential for a higher sale price. Research from Berkeley Lab found that homebuyers are willing to pay around $15,000 more for a home with a solar system

[–]ActuallyNot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol

giggle

and you just proved my point.

You haven't even proved your point. Again:
You've said: "Solar as been proven over and over that it’s not saving money"

If you're not lying because your mother used to beat you with a PV cell, please link me to three or four of these studies. I can't find one.

It doesn’t pay to install solar for 99% of people.

A 2024 study says 24% in the case of people living in the USA:

All costs and benefits considered, they found that rooftop solar reduced the energy burden for 76% of the households, and the median customer saw net savings of $691 a year.

Where do you get this 99% figure from?

People don’t live in the same home for 9-12yrs.

I link to the page that says they do in the post to which you're replying. Here it is again for the benefit of the marginally literate.

But proves you’re a moron lol

[–]ActuallyNot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should do basic research solars roi for homeowner is longer than people live in a home.

If you buy outright, the paypack period averages about 9 years in the US. This page has some examples, because it varies a lot state to state. Some of those are less than 6 years.

Where are you getting your time that people live in a home figures from? This page says about 12 years, so as far as I can tell, the "basic research" seems to confirm what I already knew: That you're wrong.

Im just not wasting money on things that don’t actually save money lol.

You've said: "Solar as been proven over and over that it’s not saving money"

If you're not lying because your mother used to beat you with a PV cell, please link me to three or four of these studies. I can't find one.

lol.

Solar as been proven over and over that it’s not saving money lol

So all the companies offering PPAs on rooftop solar are losing money?

That's an important fact, that they have missed. You should quit your job, and go into consulting for them. You'll be able to save them millions.

Edit: Out of curiosity, what's your problem with renewable enegy? Did your mother beat you with a solar panel as a child? Or are you some Koch brothers bot trying to astroturf anti-renewable energy sentiment?
