Another of the Rolling Coal gang gets prison. After all the fines and what not it looks like he is gonna be broke too.

Let me say I was put in a position similar to this while in high school. My parents didn't take it to court back then and I think my mother thought I should join in. Actually it was just my mother left at the time. I didn't "pray with the team". I already had enough with religion at that point. Not necessarily God but religion. Since I didn't take part, I didn't get playing time. I quit. Any of the major religions are for the weak of mind or manipulators.

Ships don't need to go into international waters to go to China from Russia. China's main source of Oil is now Russia.

Aren't you glad Trump developed a program to fasttrack research?

I think most liberals are and even many conservatives. I really hate how he downplayed the disease and made it seem unimportant to get the vaccine. Of course he was just playing to his base with that though right?

The city is recording the roads they are recording who is coming and going and when - that's China level thinking to me. AI takes care of the rest. Say a shooting happened, they to to the video around the time. They find a suspicious vehicle and plug in the plates and track where it came from and where it has gone over weeks and months. Their was actually a partial subsidy in it for us if we gave them access to our camera's that had views of the Roads around our facility.

Man they had good drugs back in the day. And no record companies dictating who would succeed.

I posted an article a week or so ago - they are going to be making massive cuts in the next couple of months to the withdrawal of water. It is going to affect ALL the users of Lake Mead water.

Another big problem is power generation is also down and dropping. The lower the water level, the lower the pressure, the less power generated. If it reaches "dead pool" that means NO power generation. Hoover Dam generates about 4 billion kilowatt-hours of hydroelectric power each year for use in Nevada, Arizona, and California. It effectively serves the power for over 1.3 million people. That is a pretty big hole in power generation.

There is a company out there, name is escaping me right now, that is selling "AI" Camera systems. They were in to show off to me with a local security company. Trying to sell us on their cameras for monitoring our people. Myself and our lead Industrial Engineer has major problems with their approach. We didn't want to be monitoring our people and that is all they would focus on. We have ideas for very good use case but they couldn't get past the surveillance "state" concept. That would set off a nasty fight between workers and management - rightfully so IMHO and nobody on management wants that.

Anyhow, during their presentation the brought up they were working with the city. They had cameras on key intersections monitoring the coming and going into neighborhoods. The system analyzes footage and using their AI algorithm records and catalogs people, cars, license plates, times, etc. I'm sorry but no matter what the good purpose is that has to be a violation of the constitution.

Looks like some very interesting information at the second link in the form of other links... Not sure if I want to pump a work email into that though.

And they aren't Christian not to mention Catholic in truth. I have so many issues with the Catholic Church as I was raised in it and I seen the hypocrisy. There is finally a pope who is trying to do the right thing and the Catholic Taliban that has formed in this country as something of an offshoot of the Talibaptists. Amy Coney Barrett is a prime example.

We are talking China type stuff - except people here are willingly giving their information to corporations and the right is waiting and eager to use it.

The lack of digital privacy is scary.

The quick snippet on this article says it all:

Oklahoma Republican U.S. Senator James Lankford, who was director of youth programming at the Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center for a decade, said in a 2010 deposition that he believed a 13-year-old could consent to sex. "Yes, I think they can," Lankford told a lawyer for a girl who family sued a 15-year-old who had sex with her at the Baptist youth camp.

Emphasis mine of course. Talibaptists trying to get themselves out of hot water.

Predictable. And look who did it... And Cruz is cyring for protection of anti-abortion clinics...

Pretty cool. We are starting to see more and more of this kind of work finding ancient settlements. They are finding ancient cities in Central America using similar techniques.

I guess behavior like this shouldn't be found surprising. Perhaps laws to make it illegal are in order.

So will Macy's.

Chreeestian at it again. When will we learn in this country?

Why did it take so long to getting around to searching his home? Just sayin...

The same group that support tRump no matter what and have continued to do so.

All I want to know is can we send a group of antivaxxers there and see how long they stay antivax?

This ruling applies to school choice. Why should parents who choose to send their child to a Catholic High School that has the highest college admission rate in the district be denied funds but if they send their child to a nearby public school it's free?

Taxes are collected to fund PUBLIC GOVERNMENTAL schooling. In the case of Public Taxpayer funded schools basically anyone who lives in the correct location in the community has access to attend. In many cases you just have to live in the school district and not even a certain "radius" of the school. In your argument can ANYONE attend that Catholic High School? From experience the answer is no. It is a religious indoctrination center which violates separation of church and state as tax money is going to fund religious indoctrination.

If the argument is still these are the only schools in the area, the correct answer is the people need to tell the government they need a school not they need to fund a religious grooming center.

I have to laugh at earlier comments on taxing schools. This has to be some sort of idiotic right wing talking point.

We do not Public Tax schools because they are a government institution. It is just so incredibly idiotic to compare a public institution to a private enterprise - even when they are both "schools" and say "we don't tax schools". No ---- Sherlock. We don't tax the county clerk, the road department etc - they are a part of the government. Taxes are collected to fund schools... People are not charged to attend public schools... If we are funding private religious schools because "there are no public schools" it is because the community isn't willing to pay for them and therefore we should not be funding private religious schools either.

The GOP is and has been going after public education.

Interesting read. I remain skeptical it is sentient due to many factors but it was a great read.

It's also not tied to the price of oil like the last spike in 2008. At that time Oil was far higher.
