First off, Germany is the size of Montana. It's a lot easier to install nationwide infrastructure, like wind, solar, rapid transit, etc., when your entire country is really small. Germany's 27% is 40.2 billion kWh of electricity, while the US's 13% is 526.6 billion kWh.

If you were still with that carrier, then in all likelihood you would, in fact, see a good reason to believe the no-negotiation announcement, because you would be more attuned to the impact of being a member of the Alliance has on getting loads covered. Not only will those on percentage...

Having celibate straight priests does the same thing, clearly.

Conceivably, "And you're right, it's off topic in this thread," was too ethereal and tenuous. Rather than completely removing an 8-foot section of the track under which this thread travels, perhaps a link, maybe even sent via a PM, would have sufficed in refreshing the memory of Mr. Pilgrim.

Germany's wind and solar is like 90 government subsidized, which is scheduled to get cut off next year.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Popcorn goes stale so fast these days. I figure it's because of the chemtrails. :D

U-Verse seems to be really good, or really bad, nothing in between. It just depends on where you are.

The chemtrails is from a conspiracy theory was long ago resoundingly debunked. Chemtrail conspiracy theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Contrails v Chemtrails: The Science That Debunks The Conspiracy | Irish Weather Online...

Because people are people and they have a right, within reason, to make comments or ask questions about things they feel are important. Because it's not an attempt to hijack a thread or change the topic. If we cut people off every time they made a comment that was slightly off topic then these...

The reason for the regs in the first place is because of the public outcry over big trucks and the damage they do in accidents. The public is willing to put up with themselves, because despite the number of fatalities, most of those accidents don't result in everyone involved being killed. When...

As RLENT pointed out, it was Iraq, not Afghanistan. And you're right, it's off topic in this thread. I'm sure it will get brought up again somewhere else.

The FMCSA, which is a separate administration under the DOT since 2000, is there to regulate commercial heavy trucks and buses, which presents a higher risk to the general public. "As far as damage,,results are the same just a bigger pile of debri.. A wreck is a wreck with devastating results...

Huh? How did you arrive at such a convoluted conclusion? Oh, yeah, I forgot. 95th percentile and all that. Got it. Remember back when Appalachian stereotypes were considered outdated and antiquated? Ah, the good ol' days. The Academy. It claims to stand for inclusiveness and diversity and...

Just like you know he led me into this swamp.

You're not trying hard enough. :D

Actually, we were having a conversation and I wondered aloud how you would react to a shoe-on- the-other-foot situation, like with a Life in Modern Day Appalachia thread. He took that cue and started the thread, and you didn't disappoint.

Very true. Executing someone who deserves it is one thing, but a mistake is unacceptable.

OK, daddy. I will <sniffle>

You're not doing me a favor, you're whining not at all unlike a 3 year old and trying to get me back, but good. If you keep implying that I have made nasty, vicious (vicious, I tell you) insinuations against people of the South and Appalachia, you might get a few simpletons to believe you, but...

Not necessarily. If you are going to execute someone because of a crime they committed, you can carry out the execution humanely, or quite brutally and mercilessly. So brutal, or merciless, may be the word you are looking for. An example of a brutal execution is where someone is forced to...
