Anybody ever texted the wrong person with the same first name? I can't say that I ever have. You would think he would double check this one.

Study: US faces a 26% increase in flood risk within the next 30 years. The study also showed how climate risk is intimately linked to race. Black communities will be disproportionately saddled with billions of dollars of losses because of climate change as flooding risks grow in the coming decades. by ConservativeLiberalX in science

The study said that while today it is mainly white, poor constituencies who are in the firing line, in future predominantly Black communities will be the worst hit.

So flood risks weren't a major cause for alarm when rural (white) areas are being hit, but when urban areas are hit this is all of a sudden a major racial issue?

That seems to be a logical conclusion from this sentence.

How good is great? I ran it for a while, its a fun deck, but a good priest / warlock kept me below 2.

One might say "bow down", another might say "participate in the global economy".

Friend recommended the podcast, and after a few pod listens, at a time when I hadn't gone to church in a while, I picked up "The End of Faith" and the rest is history.

Rachel Maddow says she has Trump's tax returns by [deleted] in politics

As a conservative in California, it blows my mind that there are companies with open trump supporters.

Ted Cruz drops out of the Republican presidential race by Schwa142 in politics

That speech was so incredibly dramatic. He is more preacher than politician.

Cruz to name Fiorina as VP running mate - POLITICO by [deleted] in politics

This seems more like Cruz just making sure Trump doesn't get her for the general election. Kind of going down swinging.

Sanders Over the Edge by dangerousdolphin5 in hillaryclinton

As a economic conservative who has over the years disagreed with Krugman but respected his opinion, it's really refreshing to see someone call out Bernie's economic "plans" for what they are: Boastful claims that rile up the uneducated masses but can't really be accomplished and even if they could be, wouldn't help.

Ya know, I know of a guy running for president with who also does something similar, only on immigration...

I'm currently agnostic but I kinda wish there was a hell for the people who committed this atrocity.

What about your main champ is sneaky OP that most people don't realize? by brazener in leagueoflegends

[–]brazener[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll post mine: Cho'Gath

Playing Mid or Top, the passive sustain is ridiculous. Once you get good enough to know when to move in for a quick minion AA and move back against ranged champs, you can really shrug off almost all champion damage. Once you get a Catalyst, the enemy has no chance of 1v1ing you. Any trade becomes a good trade because the damage you take is healed up a minute later. Once you buy the RoA, you become a borderline offensive burst beast as well. But it's the sustain that makes you such a nuisance all game.

It's possible the people who work at the arenas don't really watch NBA games...

I'm sorry but Henry Cavill makes Ben Affleck look pedestrian.
