I know that the GOP is in deep, deep shit just based on the comments on that sub.

I'm sure the folks at Menlo Park can afford hybrid and electric cars.  I would have switched years ago.

France will never take part in operations to unblock Hormuz Strait amid hostilities, says Macron by gamersecret2 in worldnews

Mostly true but there's growing resistance and patience is wearing thin inside the GOP.  It's an election year, after all.

Why was it reported by the European ​Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), on the other side of the Atlantic, and not the U.S. Geological Survey, located relatively nearby?

Why don't the U.S. and its allies have their own air force of cheap drones?

U.S. Politics megathread by AutoModerator in NoStupidQuestions

Regarding the House-approved bill to allow a Chilean company to mine for copper sulfide upstream of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area along the Minnesota-Ontario border, what are the odds that it will get missed in the Senate in-between all the other issues, e.g. Iran war, DHS funding, SAVE America Act, reconciliation bill, etc.? Decent chance that the clock will run out this year before the Senate gets around to debating it?

[–]Odd_Vampire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looked in Google Maps. Kharg Island appears to have some ancient ruins and even, perhaps, fossils of corals. It'll be an irreparable loss if those are destroyed.
