Same, except I went to a Christian school from 4th-12th grade, so we heard all the standard whitewashing BS, with an added religious twist. Our textbooks were from A Beka Book and BJU Press. Look them and their affiliated colleges up to get a good laugh/cry.

No, we’re the Florida of the North.

Literally all fuel is a “battery” for the sun’s energy. 

Same here. This concept didn’t show anything useful. I mean the boat already has a battery bank for when solar/wind output is reduced...then runs on hydrogen at night?? Why not just make the batteries bigger at that point?

Technically so is “fuel”. It’s all ultimately taking the sun’s energy and storing it.

All of the viable candidates (and Bloomberg) are in their 70s, white, and from the Northeast. Hard to believe this was the same party that put a black 40-something from Chicago into the White House.

I’m still not seeing anything truly noteworthy in that article. Plus, I fully expect any action he takes to deal with climate change to be just as awful as the way he dealt with crime with “Stop-and-Frisk.” All this is hypothetical anyway since he’s such a long shot. Then again Trump was a long shot at one point too...

I also doubt Bloomberg is gonna actually do anything beyond give lip service to addressing climate change.

So there’s a possibility (albeit a slim one) that the general election will be between 2 old, racist billionaires from New York are the only viable candidates? I’ma sit this one out if that happens (I’ll still vote down ballot though). Voting for the racist from NYC to oust the other, dumber racist from NYC is…

1.) If it bothers them so much, why not just, you know...skip this 1 episode?

Raging Bernie hate boners incoming...

To be fair, this has been the US’s policy with Saudi Arabia vs. other Muslim countries since 9/11 itself. Trump just took it up a notch.

And in all those other jobs, you’d be doing a service FAR more useful than being a cop.

Unions.

THAT broke your brain? Not the part where someone literally catches an entire car with their hands?!

It sounds like you just describe a live action remake of Jabber Jaw.

To be fair, this isn’t the worst act of racism someone with the last name of “Rhodes” has committed... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecil_Rhodes#Political_views

You should visit Mackinac island in northern Michigan to get a taste of what it would be like; if you want to get around on the island without using your own muscles, pretty much your only option is horse-drawn carriage.

Horses went extinct? I swear I saw some driving through farmland just a few months ago. Was there some extreme horse plague that I was somehow unaware of?

Well, I’m definitely of the opposite viewpoint, which doesn’t surprise me at all. The complexity and (hypothetical) variety of  hybrid powertrains is extremely interesting to me. On the other hand, EVs can basically be built only 1 way (if you want to build a good one), and once you’ve seen 1 AC motor you’ve basically…
