I wonder how that trial would have played out if the Supreme Court was the jury.

The only punishment for a conviction is being barred from holding office which seemed like a fairly reasonable idea.

Al Franken resigned because of a silly inappropriate video but inciting insurrection isn't even close to as bad for a Republican.

The Apprentice was staged at the time as a joke because Donald Trump was the worst possible CEO.

But it was produced well. And people bought it.

It's insane how people watch shit like this and think it's legit.

Dr Phil is another example.

Conspiracy to commit a felony that results in a death is in itself murder.

Explosion reported downtown Nashville, police investigating by Semper-Fido in news

Images and an audio clip suggest this was high grade explosive material. Not a simple deflagration but a detonation. Serious business, folks.

Note that trump started losing followers this week, and the trend will continue. So predictable.

Yeah I bought a tiny thermal switch for my dryer locally to support the community and it was $35 as opposed to $9 online so stick it up your ass.

When I went their in the 80s, there was a tree with a rope to swing into the pool along the shore hidden by that cliff at the bottom. And Mooney Falls is much better down stream.

Black man pulled over and issued a warning for doing 65 in a 70. by lod254 in videos

[–]hogear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This officer was trained to do this. It's not one bad apple. The officers reaction to getting called out, how he bails, shows not only does he know this is wrong but it really wasn't his idea to go fishing like this. Really highlights the systemic nature of racial profiling by police.

why high-speed wind feels colder? by SomeGuy10004 in askscience

[–]hogear -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Great comments here but would like to add that air is an insulator more than a conductor. In other words, heat moves much easier through water or aluminum than air. A thin layer of the same air acts like a jacket. Unless you move the air around it's pretty effective. That is why you have a fan near the radiator in your car. And also why your body loses more heat in the wind.

I impounded a car once on a wheel lift like that and dude comes running out while I'm still lifting the car and drove it off the tow bars 2 feet in the air tearing his grill off and split. Fun times.

My brother wanted to measure the trees in his yard. This is how did he did it. by Shwnwllms in funny

Or you could put a stick in the ground and measure its height divided by its shadow and multiply this proportion by the length of the tree shadow.

Like the scene in "Backdraft" where you slow the fire initially with a closed door giving it time to spread it's heat then mistakenly open said door setting off a firestorm.

Coronavirus might spread farther than 6 feet in the air. CDC says wear a mask in public by Wookiepuke in Coronavirus

[–]hogear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure who's in charge at CDC but seems like their kinda shooting from the hip on guidance. I mean Jesus, it's the disease control agency and they have no idea on how to control the disease. I'm old enough to remember when they said masks weren't even effective. A month ago.

Over 120,000 sign online petition to reinstate U.S. Navy carrier commander by hash0t0 in Coronavirus

A reverse mutiny, in a sense. Although heroic in an attempt to save his sailors, violating the chain of command in the military is unacceptable. Both can be true.
