Received my stamp catalogue today from the US Postal Service. No cheer here. With Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukah, and Christmas coming-up there were virtually no stamps to provide a warm fuzzy feeling of "cheer" for the Christmas season. Totally boring and devoid of any theme. Where are the...

Medical research would be one example where a person's DNA (male/female) has to be known otherwise the data would be "dirty". Certain drugs work differently depending on the persons DNA. Allowing self-identification would defeat the purpose of researching the medical efficacy of a drug...

A carefully crafted one sided sob story argument that only promotes increasing taxation. At some point the nation becomes bankrupt trying to save everyone. Also don't forget, that only targeting the rich means that they will get-up and leave. So who are you going tax then? You also need to...

An absurd prostration. The poor don't pay taxes. In many cases they receive negative taxes (better know as welfare). Consequently the only people who would receive a Republican tax benefit would be rich people. How do you cut taxes of people who pay no taxes? To be fair, even the poor should...

The response above does not provide a real answer. This response merely states states that based on the albedo the expected temperature would be around 14°C to 15°C (57°F to 59°F). That does not actually address the question of what the correct temperature would be for humans or even the...

Pat is correct. Once again you pontificate in ignorance. Still waiting; so what is the correct temperature for the Earth? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_heat_island https://www.cbsnews.com/news/heat-island-effect-dome-extreme-temperatures-experts/

Cat valiantly defending the keyboard. This cat was previously featured pretending to be a couch cushion.

@jpl458: Tell me, what is the correct temperature of the Earth? If you are viewing this from the perspective of the Earth, there should be no concern over whether the Earth is getting warmer or colder. The ecology of the Earth will adapt. That adaption has been going on since life began on the...

An obvious but pointless remark. The global warming fanatics like to say that we need to stop generating greenhouse gases that are warming the planet. Well warming changes both the weather and climate, so by supposedly controlling greenhouse gases; you are actually trying to control both the...

Yet, isn't that exactly what the "global warming" crowd is trying to do?

Government programs tend to expand beyond their original mission statement. Politicians love that type of mission creep as they can figuratively "give-away-the-store", especially given the situation that they won't be around when it all falls apart. Below is a quickie review of the changes to...

I've had cats that become very affectionate when I'm at the computer typing. They just "love" hanging-out on the keyboard. I have often wondered if a cat, lying on a keyboard, could have ever caused a significant programming catastrophe?:unsure:

Cats make great pets. Some cats are indoor cats and some are outdoor cats. This is an important concern should you live near a major street as they can get run-over. Also, if you live in a rural area they can become the hunted. We lost a couple this way. These factors don't exactly sell the...

Please do some research! You are not demonstrating that you understand the topic. What Is A Tariff; Who Pays Tariffs, And What Are Their Impacts? When the US was young, government was small, before the industrial revolution, and before the income tax; one of the major revenue sources for the...

Just ran across this article. I have no opinion concerning this topic or how relevant the article is. https://www.itprotoday.com/c-programming-language/is-c-language-still-worth-learning-pros-and-cons-for-modern-programmers

Mayorkas spends all of our money importing and taking care of illegal immigrants. Now it appears that there is no money available to take care of people affected by Hurricane Helene and to repair the damage caused by Hurricane Helene. This is a disgrace. Out of curiosity, I took a peek at the...

There are already many people here who could work, but are not. Remove government subsidies and they may well find the incentive to work. The problem is people. People use resources and generate pollution. Technology has made our life better, but too many people believe that waving the magical...

Austerity may be needed. No issue there. (PS: Over time the scope of Social Security has expanded beyond its original intention. Restore Social Security to its original intent.) No, find other austerity type cuts. Other federal handouts can be reduced to "force" people back to work. Don't work...

Consider this. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are offering to reduce government spending. Recently Harris sat down with Stephanie Ruhle and was asked about tax policy. Ruhle at one point asked what would happen if Harris could not get Congressional approval for proposed tax increases...
