@#4

Why thank-you for indicating you view what I post to be a correct observation.

:)

... The four members of a crew who took part in a simulated mission to Mars have emerged after 378 days in isolation at the US space agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston, an endeavor designed to help prepare for a possible future excursion by NASA astronauts to Earth's planetary neighbor. ...

Woof. Mars.

@#4

That looks to be the correct definition.

So, what might be the word to use when an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual attraction to under-age, a.k.a. teen-age, children?

thx.

@#2 ... she might just decide to turn State's evidence on Lil' Donnie Doll Hands. ..

Which may be why Pres Trump seems to be considering pardoning her.

@#2

Apparently, Pres Trump's current enemy is the Free Press.

@#27 ... Stevens decided to double down on being a loser ...

Perhaps that trait may have been something seen in the primary voting, and why the Michigan voters rejected her?

@#8 ... You people really have no idea what's happening. ...

The usual degradation of the commenters on this most august site seems to have missed the mark.

Again.

Do try harder.

@#5 ... MSGT's post about rich donors supporting Democratic candidates is true and,as such, the amounts of their donations pale in comparison to the Republican donors like Musk and others who buy news networks so they can control what news reaches most voters. ...

Yup. The MAGA cult often likes to point to the Soros donations, usually with nothing how those donations pale in comparison to the donations by Mr Musk and other MAGA aficionados.

And then there is the Trump admin apparently helping (with the aid of Middle East ~friends~) the purchase of major networks).

@#7 ... Some photo evidence that the stabilizer came off. ...

If that bears out, a manufacturing defect or a maintenance defect?

I know, too soon to tell. ...

@10 ... Nothing says "I'm your leader" like being forced to flee the country. ...

Being forced to flee, or deciding to flee?

@#12 ... You can't vote communists out of power once they're in charge. ...

Is your current trolling alias calling Pres Trump a communist?

@#25

Forgot to add ...

Similar to the apparent tactics of the lfthndthrds current trolling alias.

@#24

Nah, not really.

All it seems to want to do is disrupt.

And I do want to add ...

Polling is little more than a snapshot in time. A snapshot that may indicate the current opinion at the time the question was asked.

How a person answers a poll questioner as compared to how that person votes when faced with little more than their conscience in the polling booth is an unknown.

@#55

OK, after looking through my vinyl records, maybe not so much off-topic. :)

To wit ...

@#41 ... Opal ... Mazzy Star ...

OK, two bands I've enjoyed.

But a bit off-topic on this current thread. So, I'll leave it there.

@#2 ... Is the cost of repairing the damage to those US bases added into Sec Def Hegseth's total cost of Pres Trump's war of choice? ...

While this article does not seem to specifically address the question I had asked, it does provide some good info ...

As some background ...

@#2 ... That book that lived on DJT's nightstand was a book of Hitler's speeches. ...

Probably one of the few things Pres Trump has ever read.

Not a surprise to me that it has apparently been an operative coming up with all these election-control strategies.

They seemed, to me, to be too complex and longer-term than the usual stuff Pres Trump comes up with.

More from the article ...

...In one incident, about five drones flew roughly 100 feet above the reactor building at River Bend Station in Louisiana.

The story was first reported by the publication The Liberation Times. The NRC published the documents on its website in response to the publication's freedom of information request.

The NRC compiled the incidents in a table of security incident reports and posted it in its public document database this week. Plant security officers and other staff reported most of the incidents. In a few cases, local police alerted the plants.

Every entry carries the status "Closed Unresolved." Nearly all also state that the report remains open pending internal NRC review.

The NRC log describes the Jan. 6, 2025, incident at River Bend:

"On January 6, 2025, at 1746 CST, River Bend security observed approximately 5 drones flying over the reactor building before being visually lost to the south at 1750. The drones appeared as rectangular and black. No lights were observed. The approximate altitude was 100 feet above the reactor building. The licensee heightened the security posture awareness after the drone sightings. The licensee notified the West Feliciana Sheriff department, FAA, and the FBI."

River Bend is a single-reactor plant with about 970 megawatts of capacity, according to owner Entergy.

The reports of these incursions -- following other reports earlier this decade -- come as both the tech industry and the Trump Administration have been working hard to boost expansion of the U.S. nuclear power fleet. ...

@#6 ... Haley Stevens
August 1
Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump's dangerous agenda. We can't afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November. #MISEN

So, Ms Stevens seems to against, in a pique, supporting her Party's candidate because of one possible issue on which she seems to disagree, than she is concerned about supporting the other Party's candidate for being, as she seems to ascribe to him, being a Trump toady?

OK.

But wow.

It will be quite interesting how the good people of Michigan work through this on Election Day.
