    Politics Is this why Dem’s Approval Rating Polls are so bad?

    Definitely true if they are humping it.

    Politics Is this why Dem’s Approval Rating Polls are so bad?

    Oh they will. Just not now. The bill hasn't even been passed yet. Start hitting the Pubs with it after labor day in places like Virginia where there are state races. Then next year they will hammer it. Winning news cycles in June 2025 means nothing.

    Yes, but then you have to make the second stage. Actually, I don't know how powerful the fission reaction has to be to set off the fusion reaction -- I'm pretty sure, though not 100%, that Teller's H-Bomb used a plutonium fuel, not uranium. Not sure if that's required. The problem is that the...

    I don't remember what district I was in when I voted in NC (it was only one election). I wasn't questioning you. I mean, surely you know the rules of your own contest better than I do. I was merely saying that I find it odd because it's not how I've seen it done in the past.

    A hit dog hollers is the redneck version of the "lady doth protest too much, methinks." Its validity depends on context. A single denial as in your example here, I would not say hit dog hollers. But we all understand the circumstances in which the expression is descriptive. I have no opinion...

    Sure. They just aren't that powerful. Remember: nukes are supposed to be detonated above ground, like 1000 feet or more. It gives the shockwave more time to expand and destroy. Iran would not likely be detonating at that altitude, so the actual force of the bomb would be considerably less...

    Did anyone else endorse the tens of thousands of American soldiers view? I didn't see any of it. It's not a question about "minding" so much as whether the point continued to be argued for many pages.

    This is an idiosyncratic view and not really supported by the evidence. Also, you don't get to pull the "are you really a lawyer" card given that you're not a lawyer and generally know nothing about the law. Leave that shit to the rest of us. I don't even know what you're arguing at this...

    Every state I've voted in, that I can remember, randomized placement on ballots and indeed different ballots had different placements.

    That's been true for three generations. Y'all are optimists. Good thing. If you were as cynical as a fifty-something as a twenty-something, you'd be Gen X and we know how they fucked everything up.

    It's true that we have better fashion sense than that. Won't argue there.

    It was predicted by Rutherford but I'm not sure that model was very well accepted. It doesn't matter. We both agree that physics has come a long way since then. We didn't even know about quarks until the 60s.

    Did that person highlight that part of the article? I wasn't watching this thread 10 pages ago and I don't know who linked what and I don't have time to check. But when you quote an article approvingly, as you did, you are responsible for what you quote, even if it isn't your link.

    Not in that post or another. Perhaps further down the line you retreated but if you want to know why people are ascribing this position to you, it might because you expressed it in two posts.
